By "verify on its own" I mean selecting Verify from the Mode menu to verify that the disc can be read. But I wasn't able to verify against the source, since as far as I know, you can only verify the contents of a disc by comparing it with the source, as a separate operation, if you burned the disc from an ISO file. I thought maybe it was a heat issue, so I let the drive cool down for a while before I tried the verify one more time after the burn, but it didn't make any difference. I'm not sure what you mean by "drive is producing a disc it then can't even initialise". This has worked for me previously, and this time I was able to burn the disc, it was just the verify that wouldn't work. And, I was able to burn and verify the disc if I created an ISO file first. It was only if I burned the disc from the source files that I had the problem. I have noticed that when I try to mount the disc in WIndows (that I had the problem with) that it can take a long time before I can access it in Windows Explorer. Could the problem not being able to verify the disc be because Windows just takes a long time to mount the disc after it is burned? I'm not going to worry about this, because I burn very few BD DL discs, and I can successfully burn and verify a disc by creating an ISO file first. I was just hoping there might be some setting in Imgburn that I didn't know about that I could change that might help. Thanks.

I've been trying to burn a Blu-Ray dual layer video disc. Twice, at the end of the burn, the drive is cycled, as expected, but then I get the error "Device Not Ready - No Reference Position Found" and the verify fails to start. (Full log is below.) The disc does verify successfully on its own, and I am able to play the disc in my BluRay player, but I'd still like to verify the disc with the source files and be 100% confident that the burn was succesful. I am using the current (2.5.8.0) version of Imgburn. I have burned BD DL discs succesfully before, but it might have been with an older version of Imgburn. I am using the same computer, same BD drive, and discs from the same batch as when it did work. I have also successfully burned and verified plenty of DVDs and single layer BDs. I finally created an image from the files instead, and then burned the disc from the image. In that case, both the burn and the verify worked successfully. I also did a second verify of the disk against the image, and that completed with no errors as well. Any idea what is going on? The fact that the error happened twice in a row, and that it has worked before, with the only thing different being the version of Imgburn, makes me suspect the program, but I am reluctant to try again (burning from files) because of the cost of the blank BD DL discs.

Thanks, that explains it. I checked the disks, and they were mode 2, created some time ago using Easy CD Creator version 4.2. More recent disks I was able to create ISOs from without a problem, but they were created using a newer version of Nero.

Which brings me back to my original question - is there an option in ImgBurn to create a ISO file instead of a BIN file from a CD? I have not been able to find it. By the way, this is a data CD, not an audio CD. Thanks.

I wasn't using the BIN extension. I was using the ISO extension. I want to be able to extract individual files if I have to (which I don't think I can do with BIN files) but I also want to be able to mount the image if I have to, as well as burn a new CD from the ISO. Do I have to do more than just select the ISO file type when specifying the name of the image file? I can't find any other setting that seems relevant.

I want to create ISO files from CDs I previously recorded. The ISO files I create from ImgBurn can't be opened in both WinRAR and 7-Zip (although both programs say the can open ISO files and I have used WinRAR to open ISO files from other sources). I can use Nero ImageDrive to mount the ISO images so I know the images are corrupted. Should I be able to open the ISO files in a program like WinRAR or 7-Zip? Is there an option I need to set? Also, is there any way to set the default image file type to be ISO? I can't find any option to change the default from the BIN image file type (selected when specifying the file name for the image file). Thanks.
