That disc ID is FujiFilm03 and It doesn't like it one bit.Normally when I see check condition that means there is something wrong with the disc dirty scratched etc.I apologize for butting in chewy.I was too slow typing.

These media fail with IMGBURN. I just did one with NERO6 and it verified fine.

[Chewy]

well the difference between nero and imgburn is neroaspi vs SPTI.
Something on your system must be interfering
wait a minute, what's d e f g h ? drive letters?

[Gary D]

Drive D, E, F, G are Card Readers

Drive H is a partition on my main hard drive

Drive K is an external hard drive only used for Drive C backup and is off except when backing up C

[Gary D]

It MUST be the media. I just burned 4 with NERO6 to completion. When verifying the burn, all 4 failed about 15% of the way through.

I would like to thank everybody for their help!

I am glad you sorted it our cause I sure couldn't!
Too many clues!
That's a shame, fuji used to be the best, the tawain connection
is gonna kill them!

[Gary D]

Overheating was the cause!

A further update!

I notice a pattern of all burns failing between 15 and 20% (regardless of which program I was using to burn with). So I had my computer geek order me a new burner (NEC ND 3550a). When he was putting it in, he noticed that my system did not come with a fan!

He put a new fan in yesterday. I kept the LG GSA 4163 and removed the TSST. Today I have done 11 burns successfully. Overheating was the culprit! My original system only came with the TST burner (and no fan) and I guess when he added the LG, he never noticed the fan's absense. Here is just another reason for failed burns.

Thanks to all who helped!

That is good to hear thanks for posting back.Quick question have you been keeping up because the firmware for LG GSA 4163B is now A106.

[Gary D]

Just upgrade last Thursday! Thanks for asking.

Now should I upgrade to Liggy &Dee's version for NEC ND 3550a?

I have NEC's newest version 105 for this drive.

I use Dee's latest and never stock! I prefer to bitsett all dvd+r's to
dvd-rom so they will play in almost all dvd players. Usually there are some write strategy tweaks included as the firmware matures.
