I have been using DVD Shrink and Image Burn for years, but lately, it seems I burn more coasters than movies and I'm just wondering how I can isolate the problem to a specific thing. Image Burn starts the process, then freezes somewhere along the way, sometimes after 15%, other times it will almost finish and wait for the Finalize, then the same error: I/O Error (I'm at the office and the full message is written at home.) I'm using the same Verbatim DVD - blanks, same Asus DVD Burner, and DVD Shrink and Image Burn have not changed. I need to figure out if it's the blanks, the burner, or the programs. Any help with a systematic troubleshooting process would be greatly appreciated! Thanks ~ Joseph
Hello and... Here is the log file from my last failed burn. Note: I dusted out my DVD burner which is an ASUS DRW 24B3Lt and the discs are Verbatim DVD-R Life Series 16 x write speed, both of which I have used successfully many times. I also performed a successful "Test Burn" without an error ! ? ! I 18:53:51 ImgBurn Version 2.5.8.0 started!

They're the CMC version of Verbatim Disks. If it was me, I would buy some Verbatims with the AZO dye and risk one. If it fails again, post the log at the ImgBurn Forum - but the first thing they will suggest is to dump the Life Series disks. http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?/forum/6-imgburn-support/
