  @rickduley Hi Rick, Thanks for the images; everything appears "normal" there! And for listing the type of disc. But are they DVD+R or DVD-R? In my experience, for single-layer -R are "better", i.e. produce fewer failures. What about the other

  Hi @johnebaker I am using MAGIX Video Pro X16 20.0.1.270 and AFIK following standard procedure for burning DVD. There is, I think, only a set set of steps to create a DVD with VPX16. Perhaps these give some insight.

  @rickduley Rick, I don't have VPX 17 but what I do do these days (as burners become less plentiful and OSs advance) is burn to an ISO first, check that it plays OK in VLC Player, then burn it to disk using IMGBurn. That will help isolate where the
