Okej, so in that case, when the same thing happens on my desktop computer (on both dvd-drives) the problem has to be in the dvd, or the file I burned it from. I downloaded the file as a torrent and did the test utorrent does to see if the file is complete. So the file shoud be fine, downloaded a new one which I will test later. But i think the problem lies in the burning of the DVD. I downloaded ImgBurn that has a test feature, and I get the message after 29% is done, "sense area......Illegal mode for this track". I get that message on all my dvd's, all after 29%. Even on a dvd I tried burning with ImgBurn. What am I doing wrong? Verbatim dvd's, different burning programs which none of them reports any problem, burn speed set at 1x. Have I got a crappy dvd burner? Never had problems before. Gonna let a friend burn a dvd for me and test.
