Hello. Hi Ctljones,As Brobear indicated, it still looks like a hardware problem. We strongly recommned cleaning the drives optical head.And yes, the process for burning to CD's is different than DVD's. One could work, while the other fails on a recorder.Hi Jockey747,Your log file shows a "Focus or Tracking Error". This is a hardware error message. Normally caused by one of the following...1) Poor Media2) Old Firmware3) Dust on the Optical head of the Recorder4) Power Fluctuations5) Defective Recorder - needs to be sent in for service or replaced.Regards,CraigAhead SoftwareUSA (Still on Vacation)
