Timmy,As a long time user of "DVD flick (in conjunction with "image burn" i have found it to be very satisfactory and 99.8% of the time trouble free. I am wondering what kind of problems have you encountered?
Calum,Maybe i am missing something via your link but as i view the program explanation (as nice as it sounds) i don't see any part of it that deals with burning DVD's (although in the title DVD's are stated). Could you please point me in the direction of where within the program (have not yet downloaded it) a DVD (such as an .AVI file can be burned)?

Well, my problem with dvd flick is that i get to about 60% of the writing process and then i get this I/O error i never got this problem until recently it also says uncapable format i believe. thats my problem with dvdflick i agree its good and would love to keep using it but i can't so im looking for other options.

Timmy09, One point i might suggest before you abandon DVD flick is to ensure that you have the latest version of "image burn" (there was a very recent version released).It is "image burn that will be the culprit in your I/O error as DVD flick is just the format program-- image burn is the actual burning program.goodluck truenorth

Most newer DVD players will play a .avi file which is just added to a data disk.
Even my budget £10 value player will play them.

Calum, Ah ha i see it is to be treated as a "data" burn. OK i did check into that on their web site but i didn't find anything that related to "video" being mentioned on any of the program options. Of course it need not necessarily be .AVi it could be other video formats as well i suppose?Thanks for the input. I am not inclined to try anything new at the moment as my DVDflick/Imageburn combo works extremely well. I actually have a few commercial (i bought) DVD burn programs IE: Fireman,Movies on CD & DVD 4,Nero, Roxio,etc.,etc. But most (if not all of them) are very hit and miss and often produce coasters whereas DVDflick/Imageburn very very rarely lets me down. So when something works i say stick with it. Thanks for the info. truenorth

Timmy09, My reccomendation would be to uninstall DVDflick and also uninstall Imageburn  (presuming they are both installed) and then go to the recpective web sites and download the most recent versions of each and then try a burn. I personnally doubt that your problems are being created by the brand or quality of your blank DVD disc (uncless your making them yourself LOL).

Yea i'll try to unistall everything i tried once but i didn't unistall imgburner i'll do that this time to. But i still think i might have something to do with the discs that im using because i only started to have this stupid problem when i started using these discs. I was using these discs that are by TDK and i burned them fine and then i used these maxwell discs and that was ok now with these stupid memorex ones nothing. if this dont work then im gonna try new discs.

Whenever i buy a new Burner i borrow blank media of every Major Brand and some generics and do a test burn on them...
I use Data, music, photos and video for the test burn.
The end results tell me which discs to buy.
Some burners are picky and it sounds like that's the case in your situation...

Ok I bought new dvd discs. Verbatim and i tried burning with dvdflick and it worked perfectly so it was just my crappy discs, so never use memorex discs cause they suck. Thanks all of you for your help.

timmy09,Glad to hear you have resolved the problem.Also that it was NOT dvd flick.I find that in combination with Imageburn it is a great and reliable burning combo.truenorth
