I burned a disc to my hard drive. Trying to burn it to dvd, I get the message cannot obtain exclusive access and it will not allow me to proceed.
 
That message means some other program is currently accessing the optical drive. Only 1 program can have "ownership" of an optical drive at a time, for the simple reason only 1 program can burn a disc at any one time. 2 different burning programs for example can't burn 2 discs simultaneously (at the same time) using only 1 drive. This message can occur if you have like multiple optical drives in your system (like i do), have multiple instances of CloneDVD2 open, but specified the same optical drive for them to use by accident instead of telling them each to burn to a different optical drive.
 
Thank you James and Chevron. I used msconfig to solve the problem. I disabled all the services, and it solved the problem. It always seems like I can learn something new with computers. Thank you again.
 
First, I am not very computer savvy. I do not speak the language. Nor, do I understand all of the terms. I use AnyDVD HD and Clone DVD2 because they usually don't require a whole lot of knowledge, which I appreciate. However, I am having an issue now that I can't figure out. After I have copied the movie files to my computer I am trying to transfer them to a blank DVD. It will not transfer the files. I get a media error. After reading many, many questions that appear to be similar I have still not found my answer. I will try to give all the information that I have seen requested. If something is not there it is more than likely because I do not know what it is or I do not know how to get it. I am using Windows 10 OS. My blank DVDs are Phillips DVD+R DL. I was able to get a log file from CloneDVD2 but can not find the create log file option on AnyDVD HD.
Thanks in advance for any and all help.
