What do you want to happen in such situations?
There are several setting that can be adjusted to make the program / drive behave differently when it comes across bad sectors.
-
Ok, try going into Tools -> Settings -> Read -> Page 2 and change the value of Disc Layout Method -> Blu-ray to 1-3-2 or 3-1-2.
It may then ignore the fact it has multiple tracks and just go by the TOC / Disc Capacity.
Once you've made your first ISO, it'll probably be worth mounting it in a virtual drive and doing a file level comparison of everything on the disc to make sure it all works correctly. Once you've done that and are happy with the results, go ahead and process all of the discs using the autoloader.
-
No, build mode won't really work with the autoloader... not how you want/need it to anyway.
Can you go into Read mode when one of those discs is in the drive and then copy + paste all of the disc info from the box on the right into a reply please?

I’d be blaming your source DVD Video structure / files here.
As it burnt and verified successfully, this disc itself is fine. It’s perfectly possible to burn rubbish… but that isn’t ImgBurn’s fault, it burns what you give it. -
Yes, they would be different for each game, but you specifically asked about a 733MB one.
As mentioned in my previous reply, if the 'Time' comes out below 80mins, you're fine. The 640MB / 700MB mentioned on 74 / 80 minute CDs is for when you're burning 2048 bytes of data to the sector (what we call Mode 1 / 2048). The sector can actually hold 2352 bytes of CD-DA, which takes you the equivalent of over 800MB... which is obviously loads more than your 742MB or 733MB images.
-
That wasn't a trick question btw, the audio could be files within the data track or they could be CD-DA tracks in their own right. I just wanted to be clear which was the case with this specific game.
What does the program actually say when you load the CUE file in Write mode and look at the 'Time' field in the 'Source' box? Ignore the size of the BIN file itself as CD-DA will throw that off (if you're purely going by the 700MB capacity). If it comes out under 80 minutes, you should be fine.
-
Is that a pure data image or does it have audio tracks?

ImgBurn isn't designed for what you're using it for and the style in which the drive burns doesn't support simply skipping and then later retrying the skipped files. There are real hdd backup tools for that job.
An unreadable source file doesn't usually immediately cancel anything, you're normally offered a couple of options as to what it should do. If iTunes always causes a problem, just ensure it isn't running or whatever when you perform the backup.
Once the drive starts burning, it expects to keep burning until it has completely finished what you've told it you'll be burning. You can't skip sectors on the disc because the file allocated to those sectors wasn't available at the time - all you could do is fill them with fake data - and the sectors can't then be overwritten (although technically, on a DVD+RW, they could be) if / when the file is readable.
You also have the option of creating an ISO rather than burning on the fly, and then just burn the ISO. Once the ISO has been successfully built, you don't need to worry about individual files being locked by other apps.
-
ImgBurn only does the burning part... so where and what exactly is crashing? Is it DVD Flick or has that finished its job of encoding and fired up ImgBurn to do the burning part? The more info you can provide us with, the easier it is for us to help you. A screenshot of what you're seeing may help.
-
Can you post the log please?
-
Is autorun (autoplay) actually enabled for your system / drive?
See if any of this helps - https://windowsreport.com/autoplay-not-working-cd-dvd-windows-10/

I don't recall those speeds being mentioned (specifically the 'full read speeds' bit). The layers are read/burnt inner to outer, outer to inner, inner to outer and outer to inner. Assuming the disc spins at a constant speed, the transfer rate increases as it moves from inner to outer, thus the opposite is true when going from outer to inner.
Drives can opt to adjust the spin speed and maintain a constant transfer rate over the entire disc.

I got a new monitor. One using a direct HDMI cable instead of a DVI to HDMI bridge. The issue is still present. Here are steps to replicate the issue:
1.) Start a disc burn.
2.) Once the burn starts, lock Windows so you must enter your password to keep using Windows.
3.) Power off the monitor.
4.) After, say, 1 minute, power back on the monitor.
5.) Log back into Windows with your user password.
6.) What I have is a Log window that minimized itself to the far lower left hand side of the screen. See attach screen capture video for what I'm seeing.Hm, I can't explain why the video quality is so poor. It's never done this this way before. You're probably better off saving the file and viewing it locally for a better chance of seeing what I'm seeing. Hopefully, it will still express what I'm seeing. If not, here are some screen captures:

Resized Window To Normal Position
Thanks!
I still can't replicate it.
Admittedly, I didn't try burning a disc and doing it, but then I don't see why that would make a difference.
I locked my machine, turned off the monitor, left it a minute, turned it back on, logged back in and everything was exactly where I left it.
Does it really only happen if you're burning when you lock the machine? Has the burn finished by the time you turn the monitor back on again or is it still in progress?

I have reported the exact thing among other issues in earlier 2020-2021 and although supposedly "Lightning UK" have seen it, but was basically pointing to windows issue and was never fixed, so good luck.
I am really struggling to understand why would the persons who took over this domain keep this alive, I truly don't see a purpose..Imgburn is absolutely undeniably dead so should be this supposedly "Support site" support for what? its rhetorical question so please don't answer.
This is not the issue you reported. Your log issue was with window snapping... which I've fixed.
Quite a while ago you said 'this is my last post'.... and yet here you still are with your negative attitude, posting utter nonsense about me not being who I've always been. Do yourself a favour and stay to true to your word.
-
What you’re seeing is probably just a limitation of CD-TEXT. There are better ways of doing things now and you’ll have to use one of those instead.
-
Is there no option of playing something from a usb device? Maybe you'd have more luck with MP3 files and ID3 tags.
You can often play via bluetooth from your phone.
-
If the player only supports ansi characters, it sounds like you’re out of luck.
-
Thanks for that.
There was actually a thread the other day that covers this...
Basically, try changing the driver of the sata controller away from the Intel one and back to the built in Windows one.

If you're feeding MP4 files into ImgBurn, that's what you'll end up with on the disc - because ImgBurn isn't a conversion / authoring tool.
Are you sure your *working* discs only just have MP4 files on them?
A DVD player would normally require a proper set of DVD Video files - made up of IFO/VOB/BUP files in a VIDEO_TS folder. Anything other than that will be hit and miss in standalone players.

It's ok, I know you weren't putting blame anywhere, I was just explaining how these things (drives) actually work
From what you've said, it seems as though any read error will cause your drive to disconnect. It's probably a 'bus timeout / reset', but it still shouldn't really be happening. It would make dealing with a problem disc an absolute nightmare!
Can I ask you to right click on the drive selection drop down list and pick 'Family Tree', close the box that pops up and then copy + paste everything from the log window please? Maybe we can improve things for you so it doesn't misbehave in future when a read error occurs.
-
The drive actually has complete control over the read speed. You, via ImgBurn, can ask the drive to read at whatever speed you like, but it's down to the drive to accept it and actually read at that speed. Sometimes the speeds might be constant over the entire disc surface, others might gradually ramp up over the surface - 2 different ways of working - CLV and CAV (constant linear velolicy and constant angular velocity).
If your drive doesn't have any problem reading the disc, the settings for 'Ignore Read Errors' and 'Software Retries' don't make a difference. They're there for when the drive *does* run into problems with it.
As for 'ImgBurn did something weird and even disconnected from the drive'... being able to see the log would have been useful here. The drive may vanish from Windows and that gets mentioned in ImgBurn's log. Again, the program is at the mercy of the drive (and Windows) here.
I'm glad you've finally managed to produce an error free image of your disc.
-
It’s only corrupt on the disc - because the drive can’t read some of what it just wrote.
Do you have access to another drive you could use? -
Your current drive / media combo doesn’t appear to work, so you’re basically left with two choices.
Either you’ll have to get some different discs and hope the drive likes them more or you’ll have to get a different drive and hope it likes your discs. -
As you’ve burnt at max speed, try slowing it down a bit.
At that speed, your drive is burning discs it then can’t read back.
I’m guessing the drive is old because i doubt they’ve made a cdrw/dvdrom combo drive for several years now.

You haven’t told me what you want it to do.
The options can mostly be found in Tools -> Settings -> Read
