Getting write errors from CloneDVD and CopyToDVD......HELP!

[alwayseazy0630]

Been using an older version of CopyToDVD when i made my first coaster after making almost 100 back ups with same media (RITEKG04) and same player (PIONEER DVR-105 FW1.33)

Now i'm getting coasters from CopyToDVD, so i tried CloneDVD it say write engine failed to initialize. Thought it might be the unit itself so i tried to burn a audio cd...worked fine no problems.
this is the error log from CopyToDVD......................................... .....

Hello alwayseazy

I've never used copytodvd but I noticed that the message in line 6 says that your "CD-burner is dirty". Have you tried cleaning it and burning again?

[alwayseazy0630]

Yes i have, used memorex lens cleaner after every burn, but this seems to been a write engine error
