  1. Look at the 'Supported Write Speeds' bit in the information panel on the right.

     

    Your drive/firmware/media combination is the limiting factor.

     

    The program will always try to set the drives speed to the one you tell it to. It's up to the drive to use that speed or one that it DOES actually support.

  2. I'd be amazed if you could burn 5 with ImgBurn, have them all fail, burn 1 with nero, have it work and then burn 5 more with ImgBurn and have them all fail.

     

    The odd one here and there is just drive / firmware / media issues.

    The burn has started - which means its not a program issue. After that point, there is only one way to get the drive to write stuff - by sending lots of write commands. In that sense, which program you use makes no difference.

     

    Manufacturers tend to do more work (firmware wise) with current media - i.e. stuff that burns at 16x.

    So take spinningwheels advice and try out some newer media.

    The cdfreaks forums will give you a good idea of what works and what doesn't on Liteon drives.

  3. No idea what's causing the problems you're experiencing!

     

    The only time discs don't work on players is if they don't support the media. It could also be you're using DVD+R and not bitsetting to DVDROM.

     

    Make sure you use quality media, cheapo stuff often works at the start, then gets progressively worse towards the end.

     

    Show us the log of you burning a disc and maybe we'll be able to spot potential problems.

  4. Unlikey, software plays no part in the burn quality - unless it's turning on/off special drive features - which ImgBurn doesn't touch.

     

    Why don't you use the 'Graph' feature in ImgBurn to see how it thinks the burn went. It may at least show you where the drive was slowing itself down.

  5. Your drive reported a tracking servo failure... so I'm guessing that's what happened. (search for that on google if you're bored).

     

    It was just a bad disc. Chuck it in the bin and put another one in the tray.

     

    Always ensure you're running the latest firmware for your drive too.
