Dual Layer Burning Problems

I have a Plextor PX-740A DL DVD burner and when I try burning a dual layer disk, the burn fails at 49%, which is I assume when it is going to the second layer. I am trying to copy "24 Season 4 Disc 1" straight from DL DVD burner #1 ( F: ) to burner #2 ( D: ). CloneDVD copys the disc to a temporary folder and then burns it. I would try more burning programs and a different writer, but these DL discs are expensive! Any ideas as to what is going on? Below is a screenshot.

Suggest you try DVD Shrink and make sure you set the correct preference for dual layered discs.

I have an LG DVD-RAM Drive and I had to flash it with a Firmware Upgrade for being able to recognize the DL discs. Perhaps you should check out your manufacturer's website for more info on this.

I got it to work on my other DVD burner, but not on the plextor...this plextor is supposed to be really good (Benq rebadged). Here is the log file from nero if it helps:
