Yes, I have the same problem, except that it seems only to be burning about 25% of the DVD before hanging up - I am doing a straightforward 'copy DVD' to replicate a home-produced DVD-RW). The program gets as far as the 'writing' element; all the blue rectangles fill; then hangs - has happened three times in a row now. Tried reducing burn speed to 4x, but made no difference. My burner is: TSSTcorp CDDVDW SE-S204S USB device (external) The most annoying part is that I had purchased the full version of ExpressBurn, which was working basically just fine ... however I experienced a very minor bug when making several copies of a home-made audio CD for my students, reported it using the pop-up window, got a message back saying bug was almost certainly fixed in a later version; downloaded the later version. I was sure I had saved previous vesion in a new folder to avoid overwriting a program that was basically working, but cannot now see where the old version has gone. What makes this particularly annoying is that the new download (which purported to be a 'bugfix') loaded as an unregistered version, so I've had to pay the registration fee for a second time ... and now have software that only produces 25% of a DVD. Hrrumph! Strange thing is that the 25% recorded DVD plays at all - I thought the burner had to get to the end a 'finalise' before it became recognisable? Barry
