I have a Pioneer DVR-111D DVD Drive...It always worked fine, with all dvds I bought. I now am using Staples Brand DVD-R discs, I went through about half the pack and they all worked fine(I mainly burn ISOs)...My ISO burning software is the infamous ImgBurn. But all of a sudden, when i put a dvd in ImgBurn reports back that it is only 139mb, and wont let anything bigger than that burn.Anybody have a clue as to how to fix this?

Is this ImgBurn a freeware/trail version?

It would do the same with MagicISO for me. But as soon as I bought the software it read the full 700MB/4.7GB(DVD's)
If I am helping you and I do not respond within 24 hours, please send me a PM. :)

ImgBurn is freeware, and I have never had a problem with it doing this before. I will try my activated version of Magic ISO and see if it still does it.
