  1. Yes, I just let ImgBurn do the formatting. Always a full format (not a quick format), using the ImgBurn defaults (ie, spare areas disabled).
  2. Seems like an odd problem, ockevin. All I can tell you is that I've never had a problem using ImgBurn and BD-RE discs (Verbatim and TDK) with my PS3. I've never burned from an ISO - always just the BDMV folder - but the PS3 has read every disc just fine.
  3. This will surprise no one, but you were 100% right:-) Enabling BD-R Verify Not Required did the trick: burned flawlessly at the chosen speed (2x), not buffer problems anywhere. Thanks, Lightning.
  4. You've changed that, enabled it again. I'm not sure what you mean: I didn't change it. It's the same on both burns. But if enabling it will make a difference, I'll give it a go:-)
  5. I just had this same problem with an LG drive (BE06) and a BD-R, reported here: http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=13129 Thought I should post here in case anyone else hits the same issue.
  6. As expected, I tried another disc set to 2x speed and it worked just fine - no issue with the device buffer whatsoever. The only problem was the disc actually burned at 1x speed (and man, was it slow) even though I'd set it to 2x speed. I'm guessing my LG drive has the same write speed miscompare bug as reported here: http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=11300 Here's the log, just for kicks:-) I 12:07:29 Operation Started!

  7. Yes, it's a USB burner but it's reported as an ATA drive because it's running in a virtual machine (VMWare Fusion) and the virtual machine is set to see it as a physical drive (setting it as a USB drive just doesn't work). Looks like I should probably just slow the burns down to 2x, although as I said, even though the device buffer jumps around the burns have been flawless. Would it be better (safer) for the drive and the burns to do that? Oh, and Merry Christmas to everyone!
  8. Here's the log and the graph data (as a png file). As I said, the log is fine. Shows no problems at all. The graph data shows the device buffer jumping around.

  9. Hi guys, I'm not having problems with my burns, so this is more a question out of curiosity than anything. I've noticed the device buffer of my LG BE06 (an external USB burner) goes up and down like crazy while it's burning Verbatim BD-R discs. Note that it's only the device buffer - the other buffer stays at 100% - but it dips to around 20% or so then rises again to 80% and keeps jumping around for the duration of the burn. As I said, I have absolutely no problems with the burn: nothing is reported in the ImgBurn log, the discs verify and play just fine. Everything is fine. But I'm wondering if it's anything to worry about or of it's just normal behaviour for the drive. Do some drives (especially USB drives) just work that way? Is it just doing a bunch of OPC calculations? Is it because it's also verifying as it burns (BD-R Verify Not Required is disabled)? What's going on?
  10. I'll defrag it and see what happens. Unfortunately OS X doesn't have a defragger built in to the system (because it doesn't "need" a defragger, they say), and you can't defrag while you're booted from the drive, which means booting from an external or a DVD, crossing your fingers and hoping. It's not the simple task it should be. Anyway, assuming it's a problem with fragmentation, why does it only affect BD-R burns and not DVD-R and DVD+R DL burns? Is it simply the size and number of the files being thrown around?
  11. It's weird that the log doesn't show any errors (like "Waiting for buffers to recover") but it does take an awful long time to burn. Maybe it's the media. I notice you're using the LG BD-RE disc. I got the same disc with my LG drive and couldn't even format it. I've since read that they're terrible discs. Maybe the disc, even though it worked before, has had it. Can you try another disc?
  12. That's actually quite fast for USB, maybe your machine/controller can't handle more? The best way to test would be to use Discovery mode as that rules the 'source' drive out (it's all done from memory) - but that means wasting a disc on what is essentially 'nothing' (it just writes zeroes to the entire discs). Hi Lightning, The problem is, I get the same error regardless of burn speed: if I burn the same files to a BD-RE at 2x, the buffers start to go on me at the very same spot. I'd be happy to try Discovery mode and waste a disc if it was only a DVD-R, but BD-R discs are so damn expensive that the cheapskate in me can't bear the thought of throwing one away:-) In any case, I think it could be a problem with the hard disc, although I have no idea why. I just tried burning a BD-RE from a USB external (also HFS+ formatted, using MacDrive so XP can "see" it) and it burned beautifully at 2x - I sat there and watched it and the buffers (device and disc) didn't move off 100% for a second. The log and IBG file are attached. I was trying to avoid burning from a USB disk to a USB burner (I'd read somewhere that it wasn't a good idea), but it worked flawlessly. I'd still like to know why it worked though. The USB external had a lot of free space (nearly 400GB) and the internal only had around 40GB free (still, I would have thought that was plenty). Maybe the internal drive is just prone to fragmentation, whereas the external isn't? Any ideas? I 11:51:10 ImgBurn Version 2.5.0.0 started!

  13. I will try:-) I also thought I might try burning from an external USB hard drive. I was a bit worried about burning from one USB device to another, but I figure it's worth a shot.
  14. Looking at the log and IBG file and thinking about this some more, I still have no idea why everything starts out fine then deteriorates towards the end of the burn. Is it possible I'm running out of virtual memory? I'm only running a small (6GB) Boot Camp partition specifically for burning with ImgBurn and only have around 2GB free for swap space. Could that be the problem? Or is it possible that my processor (a 2GHz Core Duo) just isn't fast enough to handle everything? I'd really like to fix this somehow.
  15. Sounds like a similar problem to the one I'm having, also with an LG USB burner. I'll be interested to see if de-fragginng the drive works.
  16. I'm not doing anything at all except burning. No other programs are active:-(
  17. The E: drive is an internal drive. It's actually the OS X (HFS+) partition. My C: drive is the Boot Camp (NTFS) partition. I use MacDrive so I can read and write to the HFS+ partition. Maybe something in the "translation" is slowing it down. The weird thing is, I have no problems at all burning DVD-R discs at 16x speed off the same drive. There's no speed issue there. I would have thought it would be a consistent problem if it was the drive. Also, I get the exact same problem if I burn the same files to a BD-RE at 2x speed or to a BD-R at 4x, so slowing down the burn speed doesn't seem to make a difference. Would it make a difference if I made an ISO first and then burned that?
  18. Sorry, Lightning. Because it was a generalised problem I wasn't sure the log would be useful. I should have known better:-) Here are the log and IBG files.

  19. Hi guys, I'm having problems with the "Waiting for buffers to recover/Waiting for hard disk activity to reach threshold level..." error burning Blu-ray discs (BD-R and BD-RE) using an LG BE06LU10 (YE05 firmware) drive. The drive is LG's external USB model, which may be a part of the problem. Anyway, I'm looking for suggestions to overcome the error. The error only occurs on Blu-ray discs (DVD-Rs and DVD+R DL discs work just fine, burning up to 16x speed) and I'm only using good quality media: TDK and Verbatim BD-Rs and a Verbatim BD-RE. I'm running XP SP3 on a Boot Camp partition (ie, no virtualisation is involved) and use ImgBurn in Build Mode, writing directly to the Device. The errors usually begin once the burn is around 70-80% complete. I should also add that all the discs I've burned complete and verify just fine, and I've had no problem at all with playback. Everything works, but because the drive is constantly waiting for the buffers to recover, it works very slowly. Even though I've searched the forums and read everything I can, I'm still not 100% sure why the problem occurs, and why it only occurs for me on Blu-ray discs. Is it something to do with the Blu-ray disc structure and the number of files involved? (Building a DVD video disc, as I said, works perfectly.) Is it because I'm using a USB burner and it can't deal with the speed? (Again, I have no problem burning Verbatim DVD-Rs at 16x speed.) Aside from just living with it, what can I do? I tried enabling the "Reading - always use buffered I/O" setting and it didn't make any difference. I'm guessing increasing the buffer size (I'm at the default 40MB setting) won't make any difference either - once the buffer starts to empty, it empties pretty quickly. The only other things I can think of are maybe writing to an ISO file first (instead of writing straight to the device) and then burning from the ISO, or possibly using a different driver. Would the WIN32 ASPI driver work better for USB devices than the default SPTI interface? Any ideas?
  20. A final update in case anyone else finds themselves in the same situation. I actually think it's a problem with the OS X (host system) drivers that's passed on to the virtualisation drivers. Why do I think that? Well, I tried Parallels instead of VMWare and got the same result: exact same problem. Then I tried installing a Boot Camp partition (which was a far more painful exercise than it should have been) to give the drive direct access to the hardware. That worked a treat: ImgBurn works exactly as it should, the drive is recognised properly by WinXP. Problem solved. As for the OS X drivers, even though it's not officially supported they should work with Roxio's Toast, and they do, but not properly. Running OS X my drive can't burn Verbatim media, and that same problem is passed on when I'm running in emulation. Running XP directly in Boot Camp I can burn and format the same discs just fine. So, long story short: run Boot Camp:-)
  21. Quick update: Just for kicks I thought I'd throw an Audio CD into the USB drive in WinXP to see what happened. This was the result when I tried to open the drive in Windows Explorer (where it shows up fine): E:\ is not accessible The disc structure is corrupted and unreadable. Obviously something weird is going on here. I then found this thread on the Fusion support board, where someone describes the same problem. Unfortunately, no solution is offered. http://communities.vmware.com/thread/119997
  22. Thanks, mmalves:-) I've been looking too. I couldn't find anything either. I've also tried other WinXP apps (Burrrn and EAC) to see if I could them to report the disc write speed: no dice. On the OS X side, Toast has no problem with the drive at all. It recognises the drive and the media (including supported speeds) just fine. So it probably is a problem with the USB driver. What I don't understand is why it recognises the drive and otherwise just "works". I guess I'd expect it to either work or not work, not half-work:-)
  23. Hi mmalves. Speedy reply! Yes, I'm using the latest version of VMWare, and you're probably right about it being a problem with the USB drivers.
