Ok wahooman63 - As I said I got exactly the same error as u using Stomp RecordNow Max. I have the same burner as u Pioneer A05 -DVD. I tried Nero and that was a no go also - image burned but backup failed to play properly and seized.
When I used Alcohol I dropped the image to the harddrive NOT by using my DVD Rom Drive this time but my Pioneer AO5 -DVD, then took the game out and inserted blank -DVD and worked perfectly.
Have u disabled ALL programs that r running in your taskbar before using Alcohol ie antivirus software etc etc. Right click your task bar and go into Task Manager and end process of any applications in there that might be running in the background. Whenever I copy a game I always disable all programs that r running and dont use the computer at all whilst its copying or burning the image.
This is all that I do and it worked for me using Alcohol. Actually burnt another game today and it worked using Stomp RecordNow Max so that is cool but if get that PX error again I have my backup program Alcohol to resort to lol.
Hope this helps in some way.
