big bummer :-( maybe a faulty drive ... maybe. When you did your burning
did you try different brands of media and get the same sort of response
from the software? I ask because the input/output error was the one I
always get/got with bad media or dvd+r (tho' I note you used dvd-r). I
feel for you with your trials and tribulations it reminds me too much of
my own that are thankfully behind me now (fingers crossed) :-( 

One last thought: is your dvd drive sharing the same ide channel as your
hard drive?
