A Few Things


chewy

Recommended Posts

Since I don't work with iso's very much , the build mode really made the program much more useful, however this guide

needs to be expanded to include output > device(build on the fly?)

 

http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=1778

 

or a more detailed single layer guide like the dual layer guide

 

it's hard to switch someone over from programs that ask you what you want to burn and then you just add files

 

 

Is booktyping included in the burn log of the beta?

 

Is there a conflict when using the test feature and having disable media change notification enabled and/or having autoinsert

notification disabled?

 

It completely locked up my benq 1620 and imgburn after cycling tray.

Single layer and double layer ones are the same apart from the layer break box that pops up.

 

Just as building an image file / buring direct are the same, all you do really is change the output.

 

I guess if enough people really don't understand it, we should indeed do some extra guides.

 

No booktyping isn't mentioned in the log and probably won't be. It doesn't really add anything useful and if it's not set, it's too late anyway!

 

No there's no conflict.

well I noticed that verify does list the booktype so I guess that's good enough in troubleshooting a beginner's log

 

No there's no conflict.

 

I still can't figure that one out, I will return the settings made with clonecd and imgburn to default and retest with the lone tyg02 blank I have left

well I returned settings to default in imgburn and same for clonecd with autoinsert/autoplay

 

rebooted and put my tyg02 back in my benq 1620

 

did a build and set output to device, checked test mode and let her rip

 

Imgburn did the test, cycled tray and then the drive just kept blinking, after a couple of minutes it stopped, imgburn had no log and no program would see the empty disk, after cycling tray manually the drive light would blink forever.

 

After removing disk and a cold restart(shut down/boot) the drive and disk would work???????????????????????

ImgBurn doesn't rely on autoinsert *at all*. It does it's own polling to see if the drive is 'ready' or not.

 

Same goes for most programs I expect - apart from Explorer itself of course.

 

So if ImgBurn couldn't see the disc afterwards I'd have to say the drive or drivers messed up somewhere along the way. If the light is flickering non-stop, I'd lean towards the drive.

Think you may not get to bottom of it unless you have a clean install

 

now donta if you knew what it took to get this damn Sil 3112 raid chipset working right you wouldn't even joke about that,

it took sil 2-3 years to solve the driver problem

only thing? verify takes an extra minute with the drive??????

guess the drive doesn't like test mode at all

Test mode is no different to normal. There's just one command sent at the start of the burn (set write parameters) that has the 'test mode' flag set to 1 rather than 0.

 

After the tray is cycled, it doesn't do anything. That's the end of the process.

with my old toshiba standalone player, I have found doing a pie/pif quality scan to be more reliable than a verify

 

a disk that verified would have a terrible scan and have playability problems

 

using premium media I have found both to be a waste of time

Yeah ? Mmm I don't see any problems with my setup on discs that have passed an ImgBurn verify, maybe if I did then I would I need to look at those again then. The way I work is that I use ImgBurn to burn and verify and then if there are problems I look at PI/PIF scans to see how bad things really are :)

my toshiba had gotten pretty dirty and I was using marginal blanks, noticed some artifacts when viewing the burn on the standalone.

 

my point about verify is also a disk may be a lousy burn and pass and then not play next year, the quality scan seems to be a better indicator of longevity, going on the assumption that disks degrade over time

 

what % of your burns fail verify?

Remember that the verify will spot issues a scan will not.

 

i.e. differences between the disc and the image. This could be due to bad memory, overclocking or some other corruption on the bus (cable maybe).

 

It's also much easier to understand that an error during verify means your disc is no use, rather than trying to understand what a scan shows with all the pretty graph colours and numerical values.

 

Verify also runs on all hardware, a scan does not.
