  1. LIGHTNING UK!: Due to the confidence I have in the Tayo Yuden Media and the fact that I have probably about 75 dollars worth of Tayo Yudens left, I will look into getting another DVD burner. I will probably get another Nec Brand DVD Burner, unless there is something better out there. Maybe this is a way to test out this new technician I am planning on hiring to build my new computer. Maybe I can get him to download ImagBurn to his computer and bring up a disc that did work out correctly and extract the video ts and audio ts and drag it temporarily to his hard drive, use the build mode and then create an ISO image and then burn it with his DVD burner if he has one at his shop and see what happens. Also I have alot of confidence in ImagBurn. I just learned this week how to make a data dvd through the build feature in ImagBurn. It is brilliant software. One question if one wants to donate money at some point in the future, to show appreciation for all the hard work that went into creating ImgBurn is there a way a person can send a money order somewhere. I am asking this question, because I don't want to get involved with Paypal, and I don't have a Credit Card. What will I do if the Tayo Yuden's fail to verify in the tech's burner too? Will I assume my DVD Burner was probably all right and then entertain the possiblity that perhaps it is possible that sometimes a bad batch leaves the factory. Or is the premises that it is virtually impossible this could happen. Thank you for creating this program.
  2. Update: I burned one successfully this morning. The next one failed. I am getting a little depressed over this. I really can't tell if it is a software/hardware computer problem or if its the media. I don't think I have any hope of a refund, if it does turn out to be a media, because it is very unlikly anything could possibly be wrong with the quality of Tayo Yuden. I payed a premium price for these discs for their quality. When one believes they have a quality media this engenders a confidence that the discs are going to turn out. Now some did fail during the burning stage. I even had a power calibration error last night at one point. But most are burning successfully and then failing in the verify stage of the process. The one that failed this morning had a dark blue circle towards the inner hub. I don't know what this means, but usually when I have failed discs I see something like that stands out significantly. Sometimes it is a little pimple like circle, but that is very rare. Any additional advice is appreciated. Also thank you for the information I have already received on this topic.
  3. kendriver: I just burned one of my Tayo Yudens and this time I had success. I put a head cleaner through to clean the lens on the DVD Burner. Maybe that helped. When I first started using this batch of Tayo Yudens I had success with them. Then I started getting more and more failures. So maybe there is some bad ones in this bunch. I am going to order Verbatim next time and see what happens or one of each. Just so that not all my eggs are not in one basket. I know one thing for sure the company I bought them from, won't even entertain the possibility that a bad batch of Tayo Yuden's is possible. Also this time when I burned I was doing anything else while it was burning. I hope that atleast most of the rest work out. My last batch of Tayo Yudens was very successful. Atleast 95 out of a hundred turned out. Thanks for the additional information and the kind thoughts.
  4. spinningwheel: Thank you for your input on this matter. I am sure they would play. I guess I am just being a little nuts. I like archiving stuff, and these discs are of episodes I capture of Coronation Street, I probably will only watch them very rarely. I started recording it, because alot of the older characters are leaving the show, and I wanted something to remember them by. I just put in a disc called "OSI" and I am certain it is Tayo Yuden fake, and it burned and verified. I am really wondering if the world has gone topsy turvy or if it is possible for Tayo Yuden to produce a bad batch of discs. I am confused about all this.

  6. kendriver: I have now checked "cycle tray". I hope this works out soon. I just burned a disc at 8x and it failed again on the verify. I still have a couple of ritek dvd-r's, I think I might pop one in and see what happens. Thank you kendriver, for the information you have given me. It was kind of you take the time to respond to this topic.
  7. cornholio7: I usually burn at 4x because I always believed that it gave a better burn while burning at a slower speed. Unfortunatly I had failure. This disc wouldn't verify either.

This is getting pretty discouraging.
  8. I downloaded the Firmware Update. I am burning a DVD right now. Thank you cornholio7 for hoping I have better luck with the new technician. You were right it wasn't that difficult to update the firmware. I hope this fixes the problem. I need to use these disc to back up stuff of my hard drives, because I think I will be getting Windows XP reinstalled when I get the new motherboard. Thank you once again. Just out of curiousity, my Tayo Yuden are rated as 8x, but ImagBurn indicates that I can burn them right up to 16x, I wonder why it tells me that.
  9. cornholio7: I have given up on that technician. He apparently has 11 computers he is working on right now, so he has no time to fix mine. He also doesn't feel any obligation to fix the problem and he couldn't even explain to me what FSB was when I asked him about it. It is causing problems like my video capturing freezes at time, programs seems to be taking more resources when I look at the performance tab, when I press ctrl alt del. So two hundred bucks down the drain. Over at videohelp.com in the forum section "Computer", I have a topic there called "Computer Has Went Kuput" that details my computer problems. This has been very disappointing to me. I am trying out a different technician. I am hoping the I know there is part of ImagBurn that guides one to the Firmware. Is it a very tricky process? I know if it goes wrong it means the end of one's DVD Burner. I think I got my computer in October of 2004. Thank you polopony and cornholio7 for the information you have given me. I am kind of nervous about upgrading the firmware, but I should try.
  10. I bought some Tayo Yuden 8x DVD+Rs and I have become accustomed to them almost always burning ad then verifying successfully. These are really good quality discs and they seem to have all the indicators engraved in the hub area that they geniune Tayo Yudens. In most cases the DVD's are burning successfully but the verifying process reveals problems and doesn't complete. The company I bought them from is telling me that most likely it is a software or hardware issue on my end. This is getting me worried because I invested in these discs and I believed them to be just about the best on the market. Here is a log: I 17:05:53 ImgBurn Version 2.1.0.0 started!

I have some Maxell DVD's and they are burning and verifying to date successfully. I am used to the same with Tayo Yudens. I have had computer problems lately. Apparently my computer is "Underclocking" by 33 percent. I had to get a new motherboard and the technician installed one that has an FSB of 533mhz and my cpu has a FSB of 800mhz. If I right click on my computer it states I have a P4 3.0ghz chip, running at 2.0 Ghz. I usually do alot of other stuff while burning a DVD and I hope that isn't a possible cause for this. I am open to the possibility that my DVD burner is starting to fail. How can one tell if it is? Can anyone figure out anything from that log. I saved a log of a successful burn and verify; would it be a good idea to post it? I hope someone can give me some advice on this situation. Thanks in advance for any information you can give me on this subject.
  11. dirio49: Thank you very much for the information you have provided. It was kind of you to take the time to find an answer to my question. I want to say thank you to Lightning UK for making ImageBurn 2.0 It does a nice job of creating and writing ISO files. I have alot of confidence in this program.
  12. I design my DVD's with Tmpgenc DVD Author 1.6. It creates the Audio & Video TS Folders. I now use ImageBurn 2.0 to build the ISO images that I then use ImageBurn 2.0 to write to DVD. I have been using the tab on the side in the build mode to type in a volume label for the ISO Image to be built. It has been working well for me, up until today, when I upgraded to the latest version of ImageBurn 2.0 Lets say for example in the Volume Label Line, I type in the following: "MOVIE_DVD_1064", in the past that was accepted and when I would go into write mode I would see the line at the top "Volume Label: MOVIE_DVD_1064" displayed near the top of the program. Now when I write in the volume line, and click on the button that askes you to name your ISO file, it tells me "I've noticed you haven't got a Volume Label" and then asks me if "Do you want me to name it Volume 01". It ignores what I typed in, and this has me confused. I was really starting to like having this additional info encoded onto the disc, and I unistalled the newest version of ImageBurn 2.0, and went back to the original. But now it ignores my label as well, and when I go into write mode it says "Volume Level: Unknown". Can someone help me figure this out? I really like Volume Label Feature, and I hope I can start using the names I want assosiated with the individual discs. Thank you in advance, for any information you can give me, in regards to this matter.
