Build does not work right when trying to replicate 99-title DVD

Sun, 15 Mar 2026 20:49:52 +0000

Ugh, Here I am again. For some reason, whenever I try to make a 16.3GB VIDEO_TS into a 8.5GB ISO, it doesn't work right. If I have "Preserve Full Path Names" checked, it can save the contents space but it sets the contents type to "Data" instead of "DVD-Video", but if I don't, it doesn't save space and gives me a warning and sets it to Blu-Ray type instead of "DVD-Video". This is very weird, because I have an ISO of Baby Neptune 2009, and it is bigger than 8.5GB in total, and it does play as a DVD-Video ISO. However, the ISO I am making does not play right for some reason when tested in VLC. I do have the "Optimise Duplicate Files" option checked, but it doesn't work for DVD-Video. Also the layer-break pop up does not show for some reason.

BTW, yes I am trying to replicate the 99-title protection seen on Disney DVDs from late-2008 until mid-2012 on my ISO.

Would it be possible to make a version of ImgBurn that can build a DVD-ISO with duplicate/fake titles from an HDD/SDD/that has 99-titles?

DVD ejected mid-verifying session

Fri, 17 Apr 2026 13:03:00 +0000

So I was burning an ISO file onto a DVD-RW, and at the end when it completed it wanted to start verifying but then the DVD got ejected by the drive. After closing the disk drive again, I got some errors in ImgBurn. I checked the disk itself in explorer and it did copy every file but i'm wondering if something did go wrong?

Issues with audio when burning a CD on IMG-burn

Fri, 17 Apr 2026 23:44:31 +0000

I've been trying to burn a CD, but 2 of the audio files (FLAC) come out tinny and low quality. The rest of the files (17 total) do not have this issue. I have even tried converting the two problematic files to .wav in hopes it might do something, but it ran into the same issue.

I am using Verbatim CD-R's and a samsung SE-208 dvd writer

Burning ISO hangs at 11% Erasing Disc - Drive activity light not flashing

Thu, 16 Apr 2026 08:07:45 +0000

Hello,

I have just setup a new desktop computer.

It is running Windows 11 Version 25H2 Build 26200.8246 and ImgBurn 2.5.8.0.

The drive has the latest version of the firmware installed.

I was trying to burn an ISO to a Ritek DVD+RW and ImBurn said the disc needed to be formatted first.

The Erasing Disc then starts and the light on the Blu-ray Combo drive starts flashing but after some seconds stops flashing.

The progress starts counting up from 0% and reaches 11% but then stops there.

I left it running for over 30 minutes but the progress remainedl at 11%.

All this time the light on the drive does not flash at all.

I tried running the burn several times and also tried running ImgBurn in compatibility mode for Windows 8.

I also tried another Ritek DVD+RW disc and a Philips DVD+RW but the same problem occurred.

However, I was successful burning with a erase burning the ISO with a Ritek DVD-RW disc so the problem seems to be isolated to DVD+RW discs.

I can successfully burn the ISO using AShampoo Burning Studio Free so the problem is confined to ImgBurn.

A Google search of the problem suggests to Disable ImgBurn setting "Perform OPC before write" but I checked it and it is not enabled.

The saved log is attached.

Problem with BD-R DL Discs...

Wed, 01 Apr 2026 11:53:41 +0000

Hello,

I was having a problem trying to burn some back up Blu-rays for while I travelled. I haven't had any problems burning for the past two years or so and I have recently got a 25 pack of Kodak BD-R DL discs and four in a row were just coasters. Somewhere along the lines they failed to burn. So, I am a little confused as to why. I use DVDFAB and have ImgBurn 2.5.8.0 set to do the burning. The first three were just DVDFab using the file. And then I made an ISO file to see if burning that would fix the issue and alas, I am here.

My burner, Pioneer BDXL BDR-XD08 is about a little over a year old. I have been burning regular single layer BD-R and dual layer BD-R discs until now. Whenever I inserted one of these blank discs, it gave a disc name of "CMCMAG-DI6-000" which I did a Google search and it was nothing but trashing the type of disc it is.

Fails to write to second Blu-ray layer

Wed, 18 Mar 2026 21:17:01 +0000

Hello,
I have a stack of Verbatim BD-R DLs which I bought a couple years ago and have used on and off since then, without any issues. However, beginning a couple weeks ago, any attempts to burn to these discs leads to an error like the following:

This always happens when it is beginning to write to the second layer. I have used two separate drives and the errors occur on both. Afterwards when I turn the failed disc over, I see small bubbles have appeared where it has attempted to write to the second layer:

The obvious conclusion would be that the discs are bad, but I have not heard of the first dozen discs in a stack being fine and the others being unusable. I've also never seen this "bubble" issue before. Before I spend another $100 on new double-layer Blu-rays I'd like to know if bad discs definitely are the culprit, and it is not something wrong with the way my computer is trying to author the disc. Thank you.

Resuming a failed burn?

Tue, 10 Mar 2026 01:28:12 +0000

Please forgive me if this is something obvious, I looked and didn't find anything and I'm a complete novice when it comes to burning discs.

Last night I was running a burn while I slept and woke up to discover it got interrupted partway through thanks to my computer having dismounted every connected USB device; this is not an unusual problem for me, everything just gets spontaneously disconnected and promptly reconnects, real obnoxious in the moment but doesn't cause any real problems. ImgBurn gave me the option to resume, but it couldn't see the drive anymore. My computer had successfully reconnected it but ImgBurn didn't see it, so I figured I just have to close and reopen the program for it to find it again, which it did, but at that point anything relating to that last burn operation was gone.

Now I have a disc with an incomplete burn, the ISO file, and ImgBurn which knows the burn was incomplete. Attached is the log from the second time I opened the program, since I didn't think to save it the first time, and the results of the verification operation on the incomplete disc. Is there a way I can continue it from where it stopped? What happens if I start burning the ISO again? The disc cannot be erased; is it lost?

Any advice helps. Thanks.

ImgBurn BD-R Defect Management

Mon, 05 Mar 2012 21:18:31 +0000

I have a ASUS BW-12B1ST Burner.

I've got two coasters while burning a data disk onto BD-R discs using ImgBurn 2.5.6.0. They are Newegg "low-cost" Optical Quantum discs. While using ASUS's CyberLink Power2Go, I get perfect burns.

I like ImgBurn's interface much better. Only thing different is Power2Go has a Defect Management checkbox for BD-R discs. I'm assuming a small portion of disc is reserved on the BD-R to re-locate "bad" sectors during burn process.

In the old days, DVD+/-R/RW's did not have this ability, I realize, only DVD-RAM.

But BD-R & BD-RE is suppose to have this capability, because of its increase density and likelihood for defects on even new discs. What are the steps to enable Defect Management in ImgBurn so as to put my Burner into "Defect Management" Mode for BD-R discs?

Thanks!

Pioneer BDR-S13U-X (fw 1.03) Randomly Hangs PC When Burning Discs

Sun, 04 Jan 2026 07:22:27 +0000

Essentially what happens is, when the disc is done burning (DVD or BD, I haven't burned many CDs), when it does the "Cycle Tray before Verify" step, a good 50% of the time, instead of progressing normally, the drive gets locked in some sort of null state, where it never reports the disc being re-inserted. It hangs in such a way that any software that dares try to interact with the optical drive hangs or crashes. Only way to close ImgBurn in this state is through Task Manager, and if I try to open the drive in File Explorer, it crashes the entire explorer.exe process and the start menu disappears for a few minutes. Swapping out the disc with another or leaving the drive empty does not change the situation. The only fix is a full reboot - but even that gets interrupted - whether I Restart or Shut Down, the PC gets to the stage where it's no longer displaying anything and the monitor goes to sleep, but the PC continues to hang and never fully shuts down/reboots until I force it to with the restart or power buttons. If I take no direct action, the computer will simply never turn off, because the optical drive is preventing it from doing so.

For context, this issue was present on Windows 10 and still on Windows 11, my machine has an Asus PRIME B350-M motherboard, Ryzen 7 5700X CPU, 16GB of RAM, and an RTX 3060 (though the issue was also present when I ran an ancient GTX 980). I do have software like MakeMKV and XReveal installed, though I never let these programs auto-run and the issue still happens on a fresh boot where they have never been opened. I'm not sure if this is an issue with the motherboard - I keep the BIOS up to date and it's never fixed the problem - or the drive itself - I'm never upgrading the firmware if that's the only thing that would fix this bug, because it's a holy grail drive one of the last that came stock from the factory with the LibreDrive-compatible 1.03 firmware. It works great for ripping all manner of discs, and when it does burn and verify the results are consistent and very good, but this is a pretty major annoyance, and I was wondering if anyone else had dealt with it or knew of any fixes.

Chapters

Mon, 18 Aug 2025 21:58:28 +0000

Howdy! If this is the wrong section of the forum, I apologize--just let me know.

I've been using imgburn for years for my BDs and have never had this problem.

I burned two movie titles (folders) to a BD for the first time (I had only done single-title discs before this), and the chapters are not working for either movie. I'm sure the chapters are part of the files because I had previously burned one by itself and was able to use them.

Does anyone know why this may be?

Thanks!

Is this burn okay ? Graph inside

Mon, 10 Nov 2025 04:05:32 +0000

Just fitted replacement equipment in my Bravo SE as it wasn't working before, just checking if you think this graph is okay for a DVD burn at 16x and verify (via USB 2). Thanks

unexpected network error

Mon, 01 Dec 2025 21:41:37 +0000

There's a first time or everything and this one message I've never encountered before.

My setup is as follows: main PC is Win10 pro, network server is Ubuntu 20 with a bunch of attached PCs, android phones and tablets, and a Unifi network.

In the process of simultaneously backing up two separate home network folders onto BD-R DLs using two LG WH16NS40 drives this message popped up during verification. At the same time. I figured the network dropped off somehow and sure enough, Windows Explorer had lost connection. I use Webmin for server management and reconnected immediately but ImbGurn failed to resume verification after repeatedly clicking the Retry button. Explorer also reconnected.

Strangely no log for the session in question for the entire day. The most recent log was from 2025-11-22, last Saturday.

I will verify the backups against ISOs but my main question is why didn't ImgBurn resume verification? If the network did indeed drop - and I'm not sure it actually did drop - shouldn't ImgBurn rseume the job? Or am I missing something?

BD-R DLs are sensitive things. I use them quite a bit and a loss of 10% is not unusual but a bad disc will usually show up during the write portion. If it's during the verify it'll be a obvious read error. This error wasn't the data or the disc, it was about a broken transfer from data to disc. The LS40s don't have a great reputation but mine have lasted 5+ years under production level use, reading/writing several times per day.

I'd appreciate some advice on this, especially on a method of checking ImgBurn's connection to the network without interrupting the job at hand. Verifying against an ISO is OK but it's after the fact. It would also be great to verify a disc against files, not just an ISO.

Disc says it burned successfully, but when reinserted, it's blank again

Sat, 25 Oct 2025 22:23:46 +0000

For some reason, sometimes whenever I finish a burn, it fake completes, as when I reinserted the exact disc in my Laptop, it shows as blank again. How do I fix this?

IMGBurn stopped working with my Primera Bravo SE

Wed, 05 Nov 2025 06:05:12 +0000

This is not unique to IMGBurn, when I use the PTPublisher software that comes with the machine as soon as a disc is inserted and tried to write to, in that software it also comes up with an error saying it suddenly can't find the robot. In IMGBurn it pops up a error message, it says the below as soon as it tries to write to a disc. What might be going on here ? What is likely at fault ? It was working fine last week, I don't think I made any changes myself, unless a Windows update did something. I can still use IMGBurn to eject the disc, so it is still making communication.

Build mode Destination previous file output name not remembered

Sun, 19 Oct 2025 13:45:47 +0000

I'm having to reinstall everything on my PC and I've got an issue with ImgBurn. I imported all of my saved settings from a REG file, but Build mode did not auto populate my old previously existing Destination file location and name. So, I created a new image file in Build mode with the desired folder location and file name. However, upon closing and opening ImgBurn again, the application now wants me to enter the file name and location on each Build operation.

This had never happened to me before in at least 10 years. Importing the .REG file always seemed to work. And shouldn't changing the Destination path and name have been repopulated on next open of ImgBurn?

Is there a setting I missed before?

Thanks!

Any Way I Can Handle Problem Where My USB Hard Drive "Unmounts" Itself Causing Imgburn to Abort

Thu, 04 Sep 2025 00:34:51 +0000

I'm using Imgburn to copy files from USB hard drives to BD-R Bluray discs.

Sometimes the USB hard drives are having problems where they stop being "ready" and unmount themselves so that they no longer even appear in Windows Explorer while I'm copying files from them to Bluray disc using Imgburn.

Imgburn halts and displays an error message saying something to the effect that the hard drive is not ready. It is not saying the Bluray destination drive is not ready, just the hard drive being used as the source is not ready.

I tried unplugging the USB hard drive cable and then plugging it back in and the drive once again appeared in Windows Explorer. I even copied the file from the hard drive that was being copied when Imgburn aborted to another hard drive as a test that the hard drive was really once again ready and working and that copy completed with no errors so I know that source file was now once again readable.

What I then wanted to do was get Imgburn to resume where it left off and continue copying files from the now-ready-again source hard drive, but Imgburn would not do that even when I clicked on the "try again" button (it just kept saying hard drive not ready even though it was clearly now ready again) and I could not find a way to get Imgburn to resume from where it left off. Instead I had to throw out the BD-R disc I was using and start all over again.

Is there a way to get Imgburn to resume where it left off once I get a disappeared hard drive to re-appear again?

I haven't included any log files here because I really don't think they will add anything I haven't already pointed out that is relevant, but if you ask, I will add the log file.

Is it possible to save .cue sheet without reading entire cd?

Fri, 05 Sep 2025 18:15:21 +0000

Hi. I am trying to make backups of my audio CD collection and for the most part I use EAC for it's accurate rip feature but I prefer the neater .cue sheets and .cdt files made by imgburn. Is it possible to save .cue sheet (and .cdt) without reading entire cd? Seems like there should be an option for that in "View Media Information" dialog or somewhere else. Currently it seems these files are only created after the entire read is complete or am i not looking in the right place?

Is the media creation date stored in the "Volume Set Identifier"? I want to know the burn dates of my mastered BD-R media

Sat, 09 Aug 2025 18:58:25 +0000

I'd like to know if the media creation date is stored in the "Volume Set Identifier" by chance and if so, is it a date and time, just a date, and how many characters do I need to convert it to an actual operating system date and time?

I know the log file stores enough data to possibly get it from there but let's pretend that got deleted by accident or corrupted. And I wanna get it from the media itself. Is this possible?

Mon, 16 Jan 2012 09:13:32 +0000

Hi,

Could someone explain to me about the write modes (DAO/DiscAtOnce, TAO/TrackAtOnce, SAO/???), what each mode do, the pro and cons, and when to use them.

Before IMGBurn, I've used Nero and UltraISO. Nero seems to only allow TAO on CD, for DVD there's only DAO. UltraISO seems to permit both DAO and TAO on CD and DVD.

I usually go with TAO if available, with the assumption that writing is done a track at a time hence more "meticulous" writing and more assurance of burn quality. Am I right about this?

I want to be sure once and for all about the write modes, and not just guessing as I am now.

Thanks very much

BDR-DL Verbatim with Pioneer BDR-TD05

Sun, 22 Jun 2025 11:24:25 +0000

Hello,

I want to burn a blu-ray iso on a BD-R DL

My burner is a Pioneer BDR-TD05 1.02 and I use VERBAT-IMf-000
My burner is connected to my computer with SATA to USB converter.

I have tried to burn at 2x and 1x but it fails.

How can I know if the VERBAT-IMf-000 are compatible with my burner?

Thank you

I/O Error with FX interactive games when trying to dump them.

Sun, 13 Jul 2025 01:14:32 +0000

Hello there guys, i recently have been buying some games from fx-interactive, and when trying to dump some games, like submarine titans, it gives me a I/O Error, i can't even copy the content from the cd to a folder.

I already used alcohol 95 and 52%, none of them work too, but works with other cd's.

Any idea?

Below, you can see my screenshots showing the problem i got and the log.

Thanks.

Pioneer BDR-XD05W and Sony BD-R 50GB Failures

Sat, 12 Jul 2025 17:49:00 +0000

Hello, I'm having some issues with recent Sony BD-R 50GB DL media either failing mid burn or throwing errors during the verification stage. I recently purchased a 5-Pack of these discs that came from Japan. Historically, I've had success with Sony discs, so I bought some more to, hopefully, keep up the successful trend. Unfortunately, it hasn't been going well. The burner is a Pioneer BDR-XD05W (external drive, "Y" USB cable). Prior to today, I had two Sony BD-R 50GB discs leftover from a previous order from ~5 years ago. Both of those discs burned successfully—no issues at all. The next day, I got these new Sonys in the mail to try out. Using the same drive, PC, and USB ports, the first disc failed at 50% of the burn process (at the turn of the layer change). I burned at 2x speed. The error stated "Invalid Address For Write". I then attempted a second disc, this time I burned at 4x, and switched up the USB connectors (there are four on this particular PC). The burn completed successfully without errors, but then it failed during the verification stage at 50% stating "Reason: L-EC
Uncorrectable Error". I then clicked re-try and got the error "Reason: Positioning Error Detected by Read of Medium". Finally, I clicked "Continue" and it progressed onward to completion with no further errors, however, I suspect the disc will likely has integrity issues given the flagging.

The drive worked perfectly well the day before on two burns (but with the older BD-R media). I attempted to buy the exact same media, however the packaging is admittedly not exactly identical to the older kind, and the new discs have additional burn speeds: 2x, 4x, and 6x versus just 2x. When I checked the ImgBurn logs, the Disc ID of the old media is MEI-T01-001 while the Disc ID of the newer Sony media is VERBAT-IMf-000—so there is clearly a model difference. Is it likely an issue of my Pioneer drive simply not liking this particular Sony media? I thought about purchasing some Verbatim media like these but I assume the Disc ID may very well identical to the Sony's and produce the same issue? I'll post the logs of the two failures below, thanks for the help.

BD doesn't play on standalone player. Works on PC. Created with DVDFAB, burned with IMGBURN

Fri, 11 Jul 2025 08:57:38 +0000

Hi everyone,

I'm running into issues with Blu-rays that I've burned with ImgBurn and created with DVDFab.

The issue is that the disc is not recognized on the standalone Sony player, which is plugged into the TV. It does work fine on my PC, though.

Here are the steps that led me here:

1. Created the movie and mastered a ProRes 422 .mov file

2. Inserted this file into DVDFab's "UHD Creator" and added my subtitles. Then, I rendered and created an ISO file, which I saved on my PC. These are the settings I used:

3. Opened ImgBurn in Burn mode and set Write Speed to 3x, as someone said this might cause the problem. Checked the verify button.

4. After burn and verify, the disc plays wonderfully on my PC, but not on the standalone. When inserting it there, it goes blank for a second and then returns to the player's menu.

This is what ImgBurn says about the disc on the right hand side:

Also, I'm using 25gb discs with a 4x write speed. And I'm taking a 2160p video file and crating a 2160p Blu Ray out of it.

Does anybody have any ideas what the issue could be? Is it likely to be a DVDFab creating problem or a ImgBurn burning Problem?

Or is it neither and the non-4k-player just can't play a 2160p file?

My next step will be to try creating a folder with DVDFab instead of an ISO file. And then I will try creating a 1080p file instead and testing it with my player.

Cheers,

Leopold
