How do I finalise DVD+R ?

RussJK

Funny thread. Here's a link from cnet:
http://download.cnet.com/ImgBurn/3000-2646_4-11673524.html

p.s. none of the Majorgeek mirrors contained a malware infested download
p.p.s the original link for Imgburn was the official site, hosting the file that all the other sites mirror

Try from one of these ImgBurn links:-

These are the guides:-

Hi,

Thanks for trying to help:

I have tried the above download links but, whilst downloading I keep getting 'malware detected' warning from AVG so have abandoned the download

Think I'll just go out tomorrow & get some DVD-R !!!

I've edited the link - a few extra characters were somehow appended to it. Sorry.

I never, ever buy DVD-R discs. They are technically inferior in a number of ways and pretty much any device from the last few years should handle them. Even Panasonic seems to have accepted them.

ImgBurn is clean and I and numerous others have used it for years without a problem. Meanwhile, AVG has a reputation for being rubbish.

What discs would you recommend? I am wanting to download video files onto a disc to then play on a Sony DVD player?

Thanks - I just tried downloading anyway clicking on 'allow' on the AVG warning - and then get this!!

C:\Users\xxxxxx\Downloads\SetupImgBurn_2.5.5.0.exe could not be saved, because you cannot change the contents of that folder.

Change the folder properties and try again, or try saving in a different location.

What is the model number for the DVD player? I'll check to see if it's listed as supporting DVD+Rs.

Discs made by Taiyo Yuden are the best. I've done low level scans of them and have seen better results than you get with commercial pressed discs. You used to be able to get them as Verbatim-branded - specifically the ones marked Made In Japan. Now they are supposed to be available as one of JVC's lines, but I've yet to see them personally. Each brand offers different discs, usually in almost identical packaging, and fakes of TYs are far from unknown. Verbatim ( Made in Taiwan ) are also pretty good.

In #11 spakkker suggested your puter is infected.

Get imgburn from here you click on the top RHS green botton, if you then tell us its infected you should stop what you are doing and get help with your infected machine first.

Try saving it to the desktop or create a folder such as C:\Downloads and save it there.

I've downloaded the current version from the BetaNews link and it seems fine.
