2nd coaster, this time first I saved it on the hard disk as a separate activity as an iso image and then when I tried to burn, it aborted at 3606380544/718756692 (50.2%). Any ideas what's at fault here? I am using DVD+R DL 8.5G by Imation, which I believe are not bad quality blanks (but not sure). I have reached a stage where buying another DVD is cheaper than continuing the effort to copy it. :-( -- Regards, Mick
