    DVD Burner suddenly acting up


    Have been using my Windows DVD burner all day. It's been working great, as usual.
    Have been burning the same files in the same way for about a year. Never a problem.

    Nothing fancy, just .mpg files of a vintage TV show to DVD.
    Right in middle of doing a bunch today it started freezing at encoding.
    Shut down, started up several times. No luck.

    Will start....sometimes get to 7% then go back to 1% and freeze there.

    Any ideas?

    I need to get 14 DVD's burned and in the mail in the next few days.
    Christmas presents for some old cowboy to send to his relatives in Europe.

    thanks anybody,

    Sorry to say it is probably on the way out and you'll have to replace it.
