Russ, are you using lite-on smart tools on the 7220S? It's actually a lite-on drive. I bet it can utilize smartburn...

Rob, any reason you haven't upgraded DVD-RB to 1.28.2 and HC to 0.23 ?. I know if it's not broke don't fix it but i use the above very often and they're bulletproof (as your versions probably are). And let's be honest, these are most likely the last versions of this proggie, what with BD Rebuilder being worked on now.

Also, don't be scared/wary of those CMC MAG M01's, i have used thousands of them, they're excellent discs.

DVD ReBuilder v1.28.2
Author: JDOBBS

Copyright (c) 2004-2008 by jdobbs softworks. All rights reserved.

CHANGES MADE TO PRO VERSION
- Made numerous changes to make DVD-RB more sensitive to the security environment of Vista.
- Made changes to make DVD-RB more compatible with some windows emulators.
- Added support for the HC adaptive quantization (*AQ) function. This setting can improve picture in flat parts. A default value of "2" is used, but can be changed by setting "HC_AQ=n" in the "[Options]" area of REBUILDER.INI. "n" can be any integer value between 0 and 4. "0" disables AQ and "4" results in lower quants. Note: Keep in mind that due to virtualization associated with VISTA, your most current INI may be located in the VISTA VirtualStore. One easy way to get to it (if you are using VISTA), is to create a shortcut on your desktop that points to it.
- Added a parameter to the HC SETTINGS menu that enables and disables LOGGING when encoding with HC encoder. The log will be written to a file named "HCLOG.TXT" in the working directory.
- Included HC Encoder v0.23 in the installation packages. This version includes extended features and bug fixes.
- Added ability to have different 1st and 2nd passes when using MOBILE encoding (see the MOBILE.INI template under the AVCHD beta for an example.
- Added a "hidden" option called "ImgBurnDest" that, when added to REBUILDER.INI will force the write to a specific drive. This is expecially useful when working on a computer that has more than one writable drive. As an example, to force output to the "F:" drive you would add "ImgBurnDest=F:" to REBUILDER.INI.
- Modified the TEMPLATE commands so they automatically look in the VirtualStore for templates.
- Corrected "35601" error that could happen (very rarely) on sources with no audio.
- Added a parameter to the REBUILDER.INI file so that an alternate AVISYNTH resizing algorithm can be used for certain functions (e.g. converting from 4:3 widescreen to 16:9 anamorphic). The default is "LanczosResize". Example usage: "RESIZE=Spline36Resize" Note: Adding an incorrectly spelled resize parameter will cause your encoding to fail.
- Other minor and cosmetic changes.

(bigwill68)your theory on the dvd rebuilder seprating the working path & the output path on 2 different drives maybe right.I just did 6.19gb in 22 mins.I don't know if that's the average time for a disc of that size in 2 passes but that's the fastest.Ive ever done.Lol. I got it setup like you now to see what happen's with bigger size movie next time around

Lite-on's are best scanned at 4X. For comparison purposes though, I suppose 8X will work. You'll find that if you scan at a slower speed, it will find lower errors/failures. My LH-20A1H is getting kind of old. Sometimes, I'll get a very high spike right at the start. But if I try try try again, it goes away. Or scan at 2X. But I don't make a habit of scanning at THAT slow a speed LOL!

Ritek blew it for me though. I got an extremely ugly looking batch of CD's one time. Completely inexcusable.
