Occasionaly I have a DVD image which seems to causes CLONE DVD to hang and lock up the dvd writer. I can live with the failed dvd but it is annoying that I can't use the dvd player again until I have rebooted. Is there anyway of unlocking it without rebooting ?

Manually ejecting the DVD does not stop the processes, or at least give you an error message that it cannot read from the drive?
 
you could try using protection id to unlock the drive, right click the sys tray icon, and select eject for the drive letter, it tries to sent the ioctl to unlock the drive until it gets a good response from the system, or 255 tries have been done which failed.. its worth a shot..i had a similar situation happen to me which is why i wrote that code into protection id :)
 
When that happens to me with Nero burning - I have to reboot as well.

-W (just sayin')
