Not writing -- Help.

[wendyinchicago]

I've been using DVDFab5 then v.6 for about a year now with no issues. Now all of a sudden files will copy but won't write, popping out the blank disk. I'm not techie savvy but I see you ask for the log, so that is what I'm posting. I've wasted so many discs, and it's frustrating. Thanks.

It is a waste of time to trouble shoot a version that is 2 or 3 years out of date.

Update to the V 8083.

If you still have problems start a new thread listing the details and logs.
