Did you use the most recent version of ConvertXtoDVD v3 this one:
Download Version 3.8.0.193
Uninstall the actual installed version with cleanvso (and use nothing else), install latest version 3 (that is if you insist on not using version 4).

Visit and search at the VSO Bug Tracking System for pending problems:

Register yourself as this software/program is not part of the VSO-forum. (use same as for forum for easyness)
You may be experiencing a known bug, which there's nothing we can do for now, and/or it might have already been fixed, because you do not have the latest version of the program installed.

QUICK SELF HELP TIPS (burning issues):
TIP 1:
If you are having burning issues, and it takes a long time to burn, check your log file !
If you see this in your log:
10/4/2007 11:22:09 PM info PIO Mode
Then you need to Enable DMA:

http://www.real-knowledge.com/dma.htm
Note (26-10-2009):
There seems to be systems what can not be set to DMA.
This needs to be further investigated.
Don't hang on it if your system does not allow.

TIP 3:
What burner firmware version is installed in your burner ?
You can find it just by looking in your log file (see examples):
04/10/2007 18:35:35 info New Drive selected : 1:0:0 - _NEC DVD_RW ND-2500A 1.06 [D] (Ide)
10/2/2007 3:30:27 PM info New Drive selected : 0:0:0 - _NEC DVD+-RW ND-6650A 1.23 [D] (Ide)
9/10/2007 7:38:02 PM info New Drive selected : 1:0:0 - TSSTcorp CD/DVDW TS-H552U US06 [E] (Ide)
Burner firmware is responsable for how good it recognizes the in the burner placed media . (finding the matching write strategy in the internal list)
If you use newer type discs as at the moment of your burner got produced, they are probably not be included in the list.
They could get added by installing newer firmware (if the update did contain that).
