You are absolutely right (as usual) they have! Regardless of Nero, what settings should I use when I create Data DVD disks?

Is there a way to do some reverse engineering and check if the disks made by Nero have a Joliet file system?

Greetings all! I take backups of my AVIs in DVDs. The AVIs usually have long filenames. When I use Nero Express to write the disk, my stand-alone DVD player shows the filenames correctly. When I use ImgBurn, the filenames are shown in 8.3 style (Windows displays the filenames properly). I use the default settings in both Nero Express and ImgBurn. What must I change in ImgBurn so as to get the same results as Nero?

LOCOENG, mmalves, Lightning UK!, dontasciime thank you all very, very much. Since I've changed the memory module and slowed the burn down to 8x, my trusted Optiarc made no coasters at all!

Thanks for the advice! Here's what Imgburn found: =============================================== Filter Driver Load Order - ImgBurn v2.4.2.0 =============================================== Upper Device Filter: [None Found] Upper Class Filter: GEARAspiWDM Device: CD/DVD-ROM Device Lower Class Filter: PxHelp20 Lower Device Filter: [None Found] Filter Name: GEARAspiWDM File Name: C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\GEARAspiWDM.sys File Version: 2.00.07.03 [2.0.7.3] File Description: CD DVD Filter Product Name: CD DVD Filter Product Version: 2.00.07.03 [2.0.7.3] Company Name: GEAR Software Inc.

I'll try checking my memory, however, what is a filter driver? I had similar problems with my previous drive, however I dismissed them because that drive broke down (it didn't spin the disc at all)...

I've slowed down the burn to 8x. I've even increased the buffer size to 50 MB. So far, I didn't get any "No Seek Complete" errors. I'm still getting 'Miscompares' though. For example, today I made a backup of a another AVI collection of mine. Here's the log: I 16:18:56 ImgBurn Version 2.4.2.0 started!

Your firmware is two revisions behind...try 1.06 from here ~ http://www.sonynec-optiarc.eu/en/support-s...-ad-series.html Did you convert your avi before trying to burn or is this a compilation of avi's? I'll upgrade my firmware ASAP. It was a compilation of avi's. If I have another failed verification after the firmware upgrade, I'll post the log here. Otherwise we can assume it was the firmware (although I doubt it).
