DVDFab will not finalize

[FreeRangeBeef]

I have tried more than 6 times with 2 different media types and 3 different movies. For some reason, all 3 movies get to the last section of Copy and keeps looping in the finalization process. basically, it get to 99% then jumps back to 94% (or so) over and over. I let Cars 2 run for 4 hours until I cancelled the burn. I've included 1 log session.
I have tried reinstalling DVDFab Software and drivers. Any Ideas?

Any changes made by you recently?...eg., blank media? firmware?...etc.

Personally, I'd recommend changing your burn engine to Img.
It's more reliable, more configurable and VSO tends to be problematic for many users.

Click on the link in my sig below for setup.
Img will be integrated into Fab just as VSO is now

You can also try to force finalization with VSO.
It looks complicated, but literally takes only seconds.

Right click on the Fab Icon >
Left click Properties >
Left click Find Target >
Left click PcSetup.exe >
Left click on the + in front of Patin-Couffin driver >
Now left click once to select your burner >
Right click on the selected burner >
Navigate to the bottom of the dropdown to Finalize the media

The instructions for VSO finalizations are outdated ...sorry.

You should be able to force finalization with Img:
ImgBurn --> Tools --> Drive --> Close Track / Session / Disc.

This is not meant as a personal criticism, but the CMC media
Media ID: CMC MAG. AM3
is crappy to marginal stuff.

You'd be far better off to switch to a quality MID despite any success you've had with it.

ImgBurn did the trick! Thanks for the wisdom Maineman. As far as you first question, I did not change anything recently. I've been doing the same thing for a couple of months, then all of a sudden...ISSUES. Oh well, thats all fixed now.
As far as the media, I didnt know. I will be sure to upgrade next time. Thanks again.

Glad to hear it worked.

I concur regarding the CMC MAG media, I co-worker used a lot of CMC MAG media early on and it would play initially and a year or so down the road the DVD wouldn't play.
