  1. Are you talking about DVDflick - as per the picture you posted ? If so that is nothing to do with ImgBurn nor are it's updates.....

     

    The ImgBurn check for new version only comes up at the start when you open the program, it doesn't in my experience ever prevent a burn from finishing..... Haven't used DVDFlick so don't know it that does what you describe....

  2. Sigh..... nonono you made your points, the programs author has told you why he won't be making the changes you would like to see, others like myself, loco and donta have also stated that the current design is pretty much accepted by everyone.

     

    To be honest for a donationware program I don't think you will find any other author prepared to listen to comments and introduce them when they would be for the good of the majority. Other paid for programs have no such discussion, you pay your money and just have to lump it.....

     

    I am struggling to see why you wish to continue this now - the boss has said no, he has explained why as well but you seem to want to keep putting your opinion out there. :doh:

  3. Well as you can see your drive and Imgburn are unable to read and verify the discs that have just been burnt. Ritek stopped making quality discs years ago and well before the availability of Dual Layer media.

     

    If you are going to burn to DL discs you really need to get the Verbatim DVD+R DL 2.4x (made in Singapore) ones...... I am not sure where you are in the world but if in the UK try www.svp.co.uk or in the US I think people use online retailers like:

     

    http://www.supermediastore.com/

     

    http://www.meritline.com/

     

    If you still have a number of those Ritek DL's I would return them to the store as not fit for purpose.

  4. Mmmm I suspect your forum name sums up a lot of feelings in the forum here today :wink:

     

    You seem to be quite obsessed with the Erase function, you do know (as the boss has already said) that the program will erase RW discs when the user starts the program ? Why have a button for something that is automatic......

     

    I realise you want to tailor the program to your requirements but you have to remember that thousands of users don't require these changes, they are not requesting them, many have grown up with ImgBurn's predecessor and also ImgBurn and won't feel these changes are needed......

     

    In the end of course it's Lightning UK!'s program and whilst constructive comments are welcomed you have to understand that sometimes the answers will be 'no'.

     

    Regards

  5. I have tried all sorts of places and firmware for the drive seems to be rarer than rocking horse sh.. well you get the picture :D

     

    I did find a lot of not very positive reviews of Matshita drives and for ease I have highlighted the most common report for you in the name....

     

    I know it's another expense but maybe you would be better served with a new drive ?

  6. I have tested a fair few different media types when it comes to DVD+R DL discs and you really get what you pay for - the cheaper discs are that for a reason. The burns in my 3x different drives were never as good and as for attempting playback a year or so later - well you can forget it.

     

    If you want Dual Layer burns for a specific project then get Verbs from Singapore :)

  7. Keep an eye on those discs though - CMC MAGS are about the worst dye manufacturer out there, they might burn ok on some drives but I wouldn't vouch for their longetivity.

     

    For reliable quality burns get Taiyo Yuden (TY) or Verbatim dye (MCC).

  8. Hopefully the firmware will improve your burn times, according to the logs your drive only wants to burn those discs at 1x speed, I burn all of mine at a minimum of 12x and 16x for quality discs :)

     

    I 00:59:22 Destination Media Type: DVD-R (Disc ID: MCC 02RG20) (Speeds: 1x)

     

    Actually, have you changed the settings ?

     

    I 00:59:22 Write Speed: 1x

     

    Usually that says "Max"...... if you have been fiddling a bit you might want to restore the default options under Help ;)

  9. Unless you have seen problems like this with the drive before I would bet that it's the DVD-R DL discs, I only have one burner that liked them enough to complete the burn and even then I wouldn't use them for anything as my DVD players won't play them.....
