  1. I usually use Taiyo Yuden CDR discs at home but will need to buy some discs in various US cities soon. What can I trust to be both available and of reasonable quality? Hopefully the discs I buy will work happily with ImgBurn. Thanks to all of you for suggestions, Fungus
  2. Lightning: Thank you !!! Fungus
  3. Hi: Suddenly I'm receiving an alert at the moment I start ImgBurn. I 13:33:59 ImgBurn Version 2.5.2.0 started! I 13:33:59 Microsoft Windows 7 Professional x64 Edition (6.1, Build 7601 : Service Pack 1) I 13:33:59 Total Physical Memory: 8,124,600 KB - Available: 6,782,648 KB W 13:33:59 Duplex Secure's SPTD driver can have a detrimental effect on drive performance. I 13:33:59 Initialising SPTI... I 13:33:59 Searching for SCSI / ATAPI devices... I 13:33:59 -> Drive 1 - Info: Optiarc DVD RW AD-7241S 1.03 (D:) (ATA) I 13:33:59 -> Drive 2 - Info: PLEXTOR DVDR PX-880SA 1.13 (E:) (ATA) I 13:33:59 -> Drive 3 - Info: DVDFab Virtual Drive 1.1 (J:) (SCSI) I 13:33:59 Found 2 DVD±RW/RAMs and 1 HD DVD-ROM! The only thing I can think of that may have caused this is I recently installed a program called Tiny Burner to play with it. It wasn't tiny and it was limited so I removed it using the Windows 7-64 normal removal tool. I'd like to get rid of the error, the actual source of the problem, and get back to normal. Suggestions?

  4. Thanks, I'll look for other solutions. Fungus
  5. Is it possible to make backup discs of wii games? The grandkids Super Mario disc is in bad shape and getting worse. Thanks! fungus
  6. ImgBurn is great, but for multi-session use CopyToDVD, also great. Not free but I have it for a special purpose that no other software seems to do well. F.
  7. Mark: I have had better luck with DeVeDe than I have had with DVD Flick (or whatever it is called). Both worked well enough, DeVeDe makes nicer menus. Before you tell DeVeDe to convert your files, you can ask it to save your work files, and also save the resulting ISO file. Also, before telling DeVeDe to convert, make sure you click the right side of the bar graph telling you the size of your files. This adjusts the final file sizes so they will fit on the media you have chosen (DVD). Perhaps this is where you had problems. I have some DVD discs with five 30 to 60 minute clips on them. The video wasn't all that great as MP4 but looks every bit as good after DeVeDe and ImgBurn did their job. Try DeVeDe again and go slow, check all options to make sure you didn't forget to make a correct setting. Also, I tried checking the "use multiple CPU cores" and the process was much faster, more than 2x. In every case I used ImgBurn to burn the iso files to disc. No failures. Fungus
  8. Hello and thank you for ImgBurn. I have a system that involves adding a file or two to a cd disk every day or so. When the disk is finally full it is stored and a new disk is started. The software I use for this (Copy2DVD) will not work on Win 7/64 which is on my new computer. I need a new software, can Img burn easily add a file to a cd disk while also keeping all the existing files on the disk? If so, how? I can't find a way to do it. Thank you for any help you can offer. Fungus
  9. Hi. Today I read on the MeritLine web site that "Effective Oct 2009: Taiyo Yuden Brand Name Has Formally Changed to JVC (JCDR-SPP-SK). Products May Be Shipped in JVC Packaging.-100 Pack" If this is correct, will ImgBurn (my favorite burning software) still work as well with the JVC media as it does with TY? Thanks, Fungus
  10. Thanks for the "discovery" mode idea, I had never looked at it before. Here is a log of the discovery mode test, the read values are: 10.7 ave, 16.1 max. YES! I 08:35:14 ImgBurn Version 2.4.4.0 started! I 08:35:14 Microsoft Windows XP Professional (5.1, Build 2600 : Service Pack 3) I 08:35:14 Total Physical Memory: 2,030,764 KB - Available: 1,282,856 KB I 08:35:14 Initialising SPTI... I 08:35:14 Searching for SCSI / ATAPI devices... I 08:35:15 Found 1 DVD-ROM/CD-RW and 1 DVD
  11. Thanks. I decided to have some fun and downloaded firmware 1.03, used MCSE to edit the read speed to the "faster read" setting and then flashed the drive. It was either a flash or a flush, I held my breath. Wow, it booted and the drive was found and available. The MCSE did help me. The original read values as reported in ImgBurn were 2.7 ave, 3.2 max on a 600 MB file. The after patch values, also reported by ImgBurn, are 6.1 ave, 8.4 max on the same file. A huge difference I'd say. Good enough. The burn numbers are 10.1 ave and 11.5 max on the same file. I'll try a 3 or 4 GB file next to see how it acts with a fairly full disc. Thank you everyone for the helpful advice. Fungus Edit: I wonder what LG has in mind when they call this a 16X read drive? Maybe there is something I don't know.
  12. Unchecking the verify made no difference. :-( Next I contacted LG Support and was told that LG burners work much better as the "master" on the IDE cable than as "slave", and to be sure the cable was the 80 wire version. Okay, I made the LG be master and confirmed the cable. Result? No change. :-( I think my options are to use it like it is as a fast burner and be happy, or to play around with firmware modifications. The second choice sounds like fun to me so I'll be researching that idea. I'd like to know if I have ver 1.02 installed (I do), can I modify it and still update it as 1.02, or will the updater tell me that the versions are the same and refuse to update. I do have a firmware ver. 1.03 as a zip file that I could modify and update but then there might not be a way to update back to 1.03 un-modified. I'll let you know. Fungus
  13. Thanks to all form the useful advice. Fungus
  14. Okay, here is a log showing a fast write and a slow verify. Average write is 10.1 Average verify is 2.7 I 21:30:30 ImgBurn Version 2.4.4.0 started! I 21:30:30 Microsoft Windows XP Professional (5.1, Build 2600 : Service Pack 3) I 21:30:30 Total Physical Memory: 2,030,764 KB - Available: 1,380,336 KB I 21:30:30 Initialising SPTI...

  15. I have started to use ImgBurn on a desktop running XP Pro SP3 and it works great. My burner is an internal LG (20x claimed) that I bought a few months ago. I can burn a 1GB ISO image to a DVD-R (TY 16x media) and it gets up to 12x by the time it is finished burning. The verify then runs and never gets past 2 or 3x. Ho Hum, too slow for me. Is the verify required to be slower, or am I missing a setting somewhere? Thanks for any info, Fungus
