I also use ImgBurn, but only up to 4.7gb DVDs. Most likely it is not
the burner but what feeds the burner. Using 3.2GHz AMD quadcore with
16gb RAM. Usually 14gb available RAM.
ImgBurn has a large data buffer that feeds the burner data buffer and
when some other backround program grabs computer time, ImgBurn handles
the data delay.
What I am trying to say is, for instance, feeding the Blu-ray from a
slow USB 2.0 external drive may never work. But there is some
cobination of lots of RAM and high speed feeder drives that will work.
ImgBurn seems to work well with buffer under-runs, where the burner
wants data and can not get it fast enough. The burner wants to keep
writing data on the current track and will fail if it does not have
the data ready.
