    my flash is B7W9 if it can help, I try to burn a DVD ISO with dvd decrypter and it freeze at 39%... I retry and 39% again, and I tryed nero but the 39% kill... I never had this problem before, but this month I got this problem like 4 times, At a certain point, dvd decrypter can't continue to burn, it says: read error ( for the ISO ) but this is not supposed to be, I mean, the ISO is good, and to turn the knife in the wound, when it freeze, it also freeze all my computer... WTF! I burned only like 150 DVDs, it should be able to burn at least 800 others before it breaks... so I was wondering if you had an idea, or if you had the same problem! please help!

    Sounds like a media issue... What's the brand name and type of disc are you using? Your drive simply might not like that particular media or has problems reading/writing to it. I have an old dvd burner that simply refuses to read and write cheap media such as ones manufactured by CMC MAG...

    I'd also like to know what brand name/format/and speed rate of your blank media. Also use neroinfotool to find the MID code of your blank media. That'll help narrow it down.

    Also: How fast are you burning them?

    Did you switch spindles/pks just before this issue started?

    It could also be a bad batch of media,try one towards the bottom of the spindle. Look at the bottom of the disc very carefully and see if you notice anything out of the ordinary.On both one of those coasters,and the next disc in the pack to be used.

    I've got 2 benq 1620s.They highly favor the plus format. I gotta watch out for leaving the burn setting set at max. Benq 1620s will overburn majority of 8x media at 12x and even 16x. That's the only drawback to the benq 1620. My original drive is well past 3500 backups,and avg 1 coaster every 800 burns.But, I only burn with it,no ripping. Ripping is where burners get all their wear and tear.
