[QUOTE="RailBaron, post: 365856, member: 28956"] My own experience with this plugin is that the .iso image it creates can be a bit too large for the "standard" actual usable size of a writable DVD, which is, IIRC, 4.35 GB (or GiB, if you are fussy). The Microsoft utility (dvdburn) used to actually perform the burn with this plugin just silently quits when it encounters an .iso image file that's bigger than what it thinks the target DVD is. I don't think the Microsoft utility can handle "overburning". There are ways to get around this. I've used a utility called "DVD Shrink" that can re-encode a DVD image to fit a standard writable DVD. After re-encoding the image (either the full directory tree, or the .iso), the Microsoft utility seems to work well. I've also used either Roxio or Nero to burn the image generated by this plug-in, and those tools by default automagically re-encode the image to fit a standard writable DVD. In that way, I can retain the menu generated by this plug-in, which I do like. In my copious free time (Ha!) I would like to experiment with overburning with the default .iso generated by this plugin. One way to verify if this is the issue you are having is to try burning just 60-90 minutes of SD content, instead of 120 minutes or so. For me, I found that burning a 90 minute program always seemed to complete, but burning close to 120 minutes of content never did. Eventually, the light bulb turned on over my head, and I realized what was going on. [/QUOTE]
