Hi.. Been trying to back up a DVD with DVD Xcopy Platinum 3.2.1 on a Plextor 708A, but I've been having a problem. The copy process works fine until the program actually starts trying to burn the DVD. It begins, then decides to finalize the DVD and stop the process.

I was able to burn additional data to these DVDs using Nero, but only as multisession discs. Also, I'm not sure if it matters, but I'm reading the DVD from a Samsung DVD-ROM, instead of the Plextor drive. I haven't tried other DVDs as I don't want to waste blank media. Any help would be appreciated.
Just found the thread that lists the common causes of Xcopy errors. Will try some of the tricks listed and update this thread. Sorry, didn't originally find that thread using the search feature.
