I recently have been having problems burning DL disks with copytodvd using a 640c Lightscribe writer. This problem never existed for me before. I should note though that I had to perform a system restore not too long ago. I am thinking it may be a driver issue, though I don't have any problem burning standard 4.7g dvd-r.

Below is just one of the rror logs I have received...
