I have a strange issue that just appeared. I can no longer burn DVDs with Dvd shrink 3.2 and Nero 6/or Imgburn for that matter. DVD Shrink does it's job and when I get to the back up stage and burning, my pc locks up completely with 1% writing the "Lead-in" (I have about 15 coasters now). I have to power off the pc. Funny thing is that I can burn in safe mode, and I can burn small files to dvd or music to cds. I am using Verbatim DVD-r media (firt 20 or so from the pack burned without issue). I recently upgraded my Norton Internet security to 2010 and thought that the smart firewall was blocking it, so I shut it down and I still lock up. Are there any known processes that my be interfering or software? I am pretty sure it is software or a process or service as I can burn in safe mode. Thank you for your time.
Sorry, here are my system specs:
Windows XP Pro sp3 (32 bit)
Asus M4N98TD EVO
AMD Phenom II X4 965
eVGA GTX 9800+
Corsair XMS DDR3 13333 (2x 2GB)
PC Power & Cooling 640 W PSU
2 X LG GSA-H62N
Hi Attar, Thank you for the reply and detailed advice. I followed your instructions and got the same results with both tests. The first one, I picked a folder that I created with DVD Shrink and selected "test" and my PC locked up at the point where IMGBurn is "Writing LeadIn...". I restarted my PC (had to hold the power button as my pc was completely locked) and reviewed the Class Filters, I did not have an "Upper Class Filter", but I did remove a "Lower Class Filter". I performed the same test as before and had the same results. Thanks again, I really appreciate the assistance.
My issue was resolved by updating my DVD's Firmware. Should have been one of the first things that I tried. Thank you to Attar, you were very helpful and I really appreciate the advice that you provided.
