    While burning files to a DVD+R DL using ImgBurn, I get an error that says: "I/O error! error writing [a whole bunch of numbers]. address does not exist at location" or something like that. It's happened twice now and, frankly, I'm sick of wasting DVDs that cost $2 a piece. I just want to copy the images of our boring family videos....

    What's happening? How can I fix it? I thought errors only happened that often while burning at really high speeds...Is this happening because the discs are dual layer? I need the space...

    First is your drive compatible with the software?

    If so then and if the software permits, slow down the burning speed. This should correct the problem.

    Good Luck!
