I realize I'm pretty much keeping this section active lately, but I was wondering if anyone can help with this problem. Started getting this issue a few nights ago and honestly have no idea what it can be. I'm using the latest Imgburn, all the drivers are up to date, and the discs have worked fine in the past with no issue. I've even tried ripping & re-burning the last working iso that I burned successfully and it didn't work. It seems to burn fine, but when I get to the verify stage it says the layouts do not match. I've done a lot of searching, and I've found a lot of "what it can be" but nothing in terms of "how to fix it". I thought maybe it could be my DVD creating program, but I downloaded IVP's free DVD of the week and got the same issue, and the last disc I successfully burned plays with no issues, ripped fine - but wouldn't burn. I'm really hoping that my disc drive laser hasn't given out. The disc has darker rings near the center. They're faint and hard to see, but when tilted a certain way they're easily seen. I've seen people say the Verify process isn't required, but I tried playing the discs and my Xbox wouldn't go past the "Reading" stage (I've never had a problem on my Xbox) and the DVD Player wouldn't play it either.

Here's the Imgburn log.

Spoiler for Log:

This stuff is all like a different language to me so somebody may be able to look at that log and immediately see the problem.

Not had it myself, but these may help:

Read through both of those and it's sounding more and more like it's the drive. REALLY hoping it's not. I have no idea what to buy, or how to install it.

CD's burn fine, ISO's burn, but don't verify or play, and the video file on a disc stalls at the Synchronizing Cache step after it burns, but before it ejects to verify.

Before you start concerning over it being hardware, have you tried completely removing imgburn and any other cd/dvd ripping/burning software you may have installed. Then reinstalling imgburn clean.

Just tried this. It didn't work either.

Sure it's not the discs you are using...

Like I said, the discs burned fine before and just stopped suddenly all of a sudden. I've even tried selecting random discs from the spool. Seems unlikely that I've bought a full spool of bad discs.

Silly idea, and I don't use Imgburn so I don't know how picky it is, but did you check to ensure you're trying to burn an ISO designed for the media you are using (ie. not an ISO meant for cd to dvd)?

I'm not sure of any better suggestion than to look at your recent driver updates, check compatibility with other software recently installed/uninstalled (and what that may have changed in the registry) and test your media, which I think you said you've already done.

I'm suspecting hardware issues. I've asked on a few other forums and haven't gotten confirmation yet, but I'm looking for a new part. Not quite sure what it is I need though. Is it something like this orrrr?

Are there compatibility issues with these things? Don't wanna buy one and find out it doesn't fit, or doesn't work.

Could try an external USB DVD-Writer, it's what i use.

Also if you can, try burning your ISO's on another computer if possible, just to see if the procedure still works on another machine...
