And I fucking hate it. I'm about to throw it out the window.
I'm trying to burn a file. A disc image, to be precise. I tried twice to burn it yesterday, one coaster, one success. I tried to make another copy today and was rewarded with 4 coasters. I've given up trying. Hopefully someone in the know can help me out. I saved this log from my most recent burning attempt.

We appreciate your concern. It is noted and stupid.

Make sure you're using 32x discs. Some discs aren't built for the higher speeds, and won't get autodetected. Writing them at higher speeds will cause the write to fail. Try manually dropping the speed to 4x or 8x.

It might be due to 12 days straight of the Simpsons on Fox8 (cable channel in Australia) which played 12 days straight of the Simpsons during the Commonwealth Games) but I read that title as "Mr Burns Hates Me!"
My burner is annoying too - you go to burn something through windows - i.e. send to the "e: drive" and a window continually pops up saying it can't detect the correct media or something like that - and to please insert a disc even though there is a bloody disc there. So I have to go the long way and burn it via Nero.

Hmm. Is the Disk Image copy protected? Or if you have any other programs running in your taskbar that eat up some RAM, that might cause the buffer to run out. Those are really the only causes I can think of, as those are the ones I usually run into. Most of the time my burner works like a charm.

Could it be the brand of disk used? Back when I first got a CD burner, my disks would almost always fail unless I used certan brands of disks.

It never used to matter what brand of disc I used, it would always work fine. But lately its been persnickity about the DVDs I use so maybe its not liking the brand I have now... But I'm not getting the same error message as earlier when I was trying to burn DVDs.
And considering the nature and source of the image file, I would most definately say that it is not copy protected.
