[X4U] DVD Recording problems

[Wayne Clodfelter]

Try quitting all apps except Toast. Check your CDs for cleanliness. 
Fingerprints and other hubris can cause reading problems. I assume you 
are encoding directly from the CDs and not copying them to the HD 
before burning the DVD. If all else fails, copy the stuff from the CDs 
into a folder on your HD and burn from there.

You are burning in the Data pane and not the Audio pane, correct? DVD 
burning is not available under Audio (in 6.0.5, anyway).
Try burning in simulation mode and see what happens.
