You could try FireStarter FX

Thanks Alex,

In the process of trying to get the exact wording of the error I 
discovered that Disk Copy was selected in the system preferences as 
opening every time a dvd disk was inserted. This apparently disabled 
both Disk Burner and the finder's ability to burn. I was finally able 
to burn one of the TDK discs with the finder. Disc Burner quits with 
either disk...  progress not perfection.
