This happens most of the time, but not every time. When I burn an image Roxio goes all the way through and states that the image burning is 99% complete and overall completion is 97%. It stays that way for almost 20 minutes! Then the DVD is ejected, the burning image and overall completion state 100% and I get this error message: "The current output device was removed. Error while burning image."

How do I resolve this problem and stop the error message and complete the burning process more quickly? The DVD appears to play good after burning.

Burn to the hard drive instead of directly to disc and then just double click the image file you just made. This splits the job in two and puts less stress on the computer if it's struggling

Also, try using software rendering (in Videowave under tools, options)
