  1. Any programme with a 1:1 copy ability will do this for you, you have one of those programmes in your above post.
  2. It is the phisical format of the disc that is differrent, no software can fix this, it's a bit like trying to burn an +R format with a drive that supports only -R format. Again no software can fix this, it's all hardware related. Drive / disc.
  3. I know that, but have you actually burnt one? After changing the setting? If you have, then that's the info we want to see, pop one those in the drive, and post the info just like above.

    Only if someone mounts a successfull challenge. And lets face it, who can be fucked doing that? And that's all they need to give you a hard time, no matter what country you're in.
  5. Can't really guide you with the ripping programs, as far as ImgBurn settings, unless you know what you're doing, leave all settings on default, they work best in most cases. Burning from your HDD is probably your best option. (less chance of a coaster)
  6. It all looks pretty normal to me, I'd start by checking the PSU. How old is this machine? Oh, I wouldn't worry about that ASPI thing. Do you have Nero installed?
  7. Thanks for your reply. I was using the Samsung tab. Here is the info presented after selecting book type to DVD-ROM and getting a success message. TSSTcorp CD/DVDW SH-S182D SB02 (USB) Current Profile: DVD+R DL Disc Information: Status: Empty Erasable: No Free Sectors: 4,173,824 Free Space: 8,547,991,552 bytes Free Time: 927:32:74 (MM:SS:FF) Supported Write Speeds: 2.4x DVD?R DL Boundary Information: L0 Data Zone Capacity: 2,086,912 Changeable: Yes Physical Format Information (ADIP): Disc ID: MKM-001-00 Book Type: DVD+R DL Part Version: 1 Disc Size: 120mm Maximum Read Rate: Not Specified Number of Layers: 2 Track Path: Opposite Track Path (OTP) Linear Density: 0.293 um/bit Track Density: 0.74 um/track First Physical Sector of Data Area: 196,608 Last Physical Sector of Data Area: 16,580,607 Last Physical Sector in Layer 0: 2,283,519 Physical Format Information (Last Recorded): Disc ID: MKM-001-00 Book Type: DVD+R DL Part Version: 1 Disc Size: 120mm Maximum Read Rate: Not Specified Number of Layers: 2 Track Path: Opposite Track Path (OTP) Linear Density: 0.293 um/bit Track Density: 0.74 um/track First Physical Sector of Data Area: 196,608 Last Physical Sector of Data Area: 16,580,607 Last Physical Sector in Layer 0: 2,283,519 Unless I've missed something, there is nothing on this disc, did you actually burn something to it?? That's the only way you'll see the book type change. After the burn.

    This thread should have been posted under the 'quick jokes' heading, because that's exactly what it is.
  9. Oops. I hit post too soon. Is it something standard that you will get better compatibility in set-top players if you set the discs to be -ROM's instead of +R's or -R's or does it very widely from player to player? Yes, it's a compatibility issue, and yes, it varies from player to player.
  10. Not long at all, I would start by checking some of the older ones you've burnt, you can do this with ImgBurn in 'verify' mode.
  11. I don't understand this constant comparison with nero/alcohol etc. It's another burning program, so whatever works for you best should be the one you use, no? But, here is some points to think about. When you look at an install file size of 1MB vs 35MB plus for the others, then you look at just a single EXE file vs shit plasterd all over your HDD with the others, then the simple easy to use GUI, then the support offered by many knowledgeable members. It makes the choice very simple in my books.
  12. Just to be a wet blanket, how old is this PC? Compaq/HP have not provided any sort of OS discs for years. This is all you usually get with Compaq/HP, not both.
  13. It's the Eprom within the drive itself that holds that info, therefore when you reboot, some drives (I know LG is one of them) unload that info, and you have to reset it. The util I was refering to is small command line batch file that runs every time you boot the computer and resets the drive to DVD-ROM. By the way, the discs you are refering to as coasters, they realy aren't, it's just your player doesn't support +R media, you'll find they'll play just fine on a player that does.
  14. Blu, you didn't look too hard, I edited your post No, But about 10K up the road (at Macedon) they certainly did, just hail and rain here.
  15. To the best of my knowledge only LG drives suffer from this, is it the next time you use it? Or is it when you reboot the pc you have to reset it? If it's the latter, there is not much you can do about it, although there is a little util for LG's that takes care of this, there might be one for your drive as well, you just might have to search the net.
  16. Yes blu, my stubbies are on all the time. Wow, what an excited chap, glad to see someone that happy, happy burning.
  17. Yup, these are good shit, I use them all the time, not a single coaster.
  18. Yeah, quite surprised myself, I know volvo has the same drive and he swears by TY's, go figure. I finally found a shop that stocks these suckers, got all excited and bought some, they were TYGO2, every time I tried to burn them at 8X, bang, instant coaster, put the settings to 4X (The only two speeds supported by my drive) and no problems. I then bought some 16X Verbs, (MCC) +R media, and my drive loves them, lead in time was only 16 seconds, (against 32 seconds for the TY's) and burning speeds of 12X wasn't a problem.
  19. Try some different media, LG's and TY's don't get along very well, try some Verbs. I know my LG4120 drive didn't like TY's at all.
  20. Funny enough, on special occasions this still happens. A bit hard to set alight an all steel structure though.
  21. Could be that one drive just doesn't like the media, it happens, just make sure that drives firmware is up to date and that's all you can do. Oh, and don't use WMA to play DVD's, it's usless, use Media Player Classic, or power DVD.
  22. All fireworks have been banned in Ozy for a looooong time now.
  23. A 'true' audio cd? No, not at this time. If it's just mp3 files. Yes.
  24. Ok, I'll bite, what's an 'ORKUT'?
