Burn video to DVD 1 out 5 work - Help

[maxton]

I'm using Roxio disc copier to burn a completed video project that is on my hard drive to a DVD. 1 out of 5 DVD's complete the process, the other 4 either hang at 99%, or Roxio doesn't see the disc in the DVD burner. I've used my internal burner and my external burner thinking it was my hardware, but I get the same results - lucky if I get 1 dvd completed and the others go in the trash. I've tried varying brands of DVD's and it doesn't matter. My version of Creator 9 is Version: 9.1.068 - is there another update I need? I tried downloading the latest update 9.1, but when it was finished downloading an error message came up that it could not find the program on my hard drive - sheesh. I can't tell you how many times I've had to reboot my system because Creator 9 hangs and task manager can't even shut it down..... Any ideas?????? Thanks

Defrag your hard drive and be sure that your CD/DVD drive's firmware is up-to-date.

 

Try burning at a slower speed.

AHHH - I have a downloaded version. So do you think I should uninstall and reinstall? I'll try at a slower rate as well. Thanks for your time... Missy
