Thank you for your patience and your help with this topic. I have learned that the menu is INDEED on the .iso derived disc (but you already knew that, right?) The issue appears to be that the .iso derived disc does not bring the menu up first when the disc is inserted in a Playstation 4. I can manually select the menu with the controller or remote but it doesn't come up first the way it should. The Video_TS derived disc will have the menu appear first. The issue only seems to affect my PS4. My PS3, the virtual drive program, and a laptop that plays DVD's all play the .iso disc properly by displaying the menu first. Apparently the PS4 has some reason it treats this disc differently than the Video_TS derived disc. I don't see how it's possible but that seems to be the problem. Thanks again for helping me.

When using the Video_TS folder in Build mode the menu is present. The .iso file has been derived by ImgBurn from my Video_TS folder When using the .mds file in Write mode...the menu is missing. There are three files in the folder I sent the .iso file to when I created the .iso from the Video_TS. There is a .dvd, a .iso and .mds Do I need to add all these as files to the write queue in order for my menu to be included? I tried to add the .iso and ImgBurn selected .mds instead Since the Video_TS Build mode works every time I don't think it's an authoring issue.

Okay, I've burned an .iso but now my menu is missing. What mistake am I making. The video seems correct and plays fine, but it skips the menu completely.

Thank you. I will try it that way. The Video_TS folder should be compliant because I have burned successful single discs in Build mode from that folder.

I'm sorry if this is a stupid question, but I'm accustomed to burning Video DVD's directly from my editing software so I'm not intimately familiar with some of these file formats.... If I burn these discs as ISO files in the Queue service, a standalone DVD player will not be able to read them. The final product must be readable in a standalone DVD player. Edit: For clarification, I used my editing software to create the Video_TS folder, then used ImgBurn to create the .ISO image. One location online says that if the .ISO is created from a DVD-Compatible Video_TS folder then the DVD player will play it. I just can't afford to have the recipients of these discs not be able to view them. The guy who made the discs last year did a terrible job and my job has to be spot-on or I'll be criticized and compared to him.

I was thinking about this question and I think it's irrelevant. Apparently the Queue feature only works for .ISO files. I need to have Video DVD's that can play in any player when I'm done. Burning .iso doesn't help me. Is there a way to make automatic, consecutive burns in build mode using my Video_TS folder as a source to create viewable DVD discs?

You've already been able to help me a great deal with my project and I've come back with another question. I need to burn 60 copies of this school play. I have two SATA burners and two IDE burners. I've separately confirmed that they can all produce an error-free DVD+R DL. I understand why my machine wouldn't be able to run four instances of IMG Burn to burn 4 discs simultaneously. There's the concerns with SATA bandwidth as well as IDE single cable issues. I also know that I'd have to have the ISO on four separate drives to even have a chance at this working. Therefore I know simultaneous is impossible. For my purposes simultaneous burning is irrelevant anyway. My question: What tool should I be using to perform 4 consecutive burns to 4 separate drives from the same ISO? Also how are Queue burning and the Share Function different? If I understand correctly in the queue function I can tell ImgBurn: Burn ISO to Drive 1 then Burn ISO to Drive 2 then Burn ISO to Drive 3 then Burn ISO to Drive 4 With the Share feature it sounds like I'm sharing that ISO file to the drives one after the other? It's no problem for me to reload the drives with discs after all four have burned. I don't need simultaneous burns, but it would still save me time if I don't have interact with the machine so many times. With the queue (or share) feature I can still cut my time at the machine by 75%. Thanks in advance

That drive did not work originally either. However, after updating it's firmware I just completed the first successful verified burn with that drive, including testing playback in a dvd player. I only checked the section where the layer break was and a few minutes after to make sure I was definitely watching content on Layer 1. I would like to thank you for taking the time to walk me through this problem. This is an important project I'm doing for free for my kids high school. It's a video of their school play this year. I recorded it in 1080p, and although I know it won't be in that resolution on disc I wanted to keep highest possible quality, hence DL discs were necessary. I couldn't go BD because I didn't feel like listening to parents whine that they don't have a BluRay player. Here's what I've learned with this project: Make sure the disc drives firmware is updated.---(And then restart your machine before trying to burn) Don't assume that your drive will burn DL since it burns other media or files. This problem drive has also had some issues burning Lightscribe labels. I thought that was a software issue. I guess not. I have learned through this that the DL focusing ability could be the first sign of a failing laser. I'm reminded of when I replaced the laser in my PS3 when it stopped reading Blu-Rays but still played DVDs. Same basic concept I think. I am glad that I was proactive, in a certain way, and started testing these burns before my deadline was here. The extra time allowed me to learn this troubleshooting process with your help. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. And thank you.

Verify stage failed again. The disc will play until the layer break, then freeze up the player. I've tried three players. Based on this script I suppose I need a new drive?

Thank you very much for pointing that out. The only thing I can say about that is I must have attempted the burn after updating firmware, but before restarting the tower. I am attempting another burn now and this time the log lists the newer firmware. Thank you for your patience.

The firmware is newest. That was my last ditch effort before posting here. Do you know how I can tell if my discs are correct. I can find them on Newegg using the link in your sticky thread. The difference I see from these to the most highly recommended discs is that these are made in United Arab Emirates, not Singapore. I know that you are very well-versed in this but one reason I haven't been suspecting the discs is that I've coastered 10 of them trying this. I've been doing as much reading as I can on this topic. And have a specific question about the layer break. I've read that having chapters may help the burning software find a suitable layer break. Currently my project has no chapters. I've considered adding chapters only to help the Dual Layer burn. Also, I have an excellent spot in the video content that would seem to support a layer break. I found the option in ImgBurn where I can select a specific "cell" to choose my layer break but I don't know how to translate an Hours:Min:Sec video position into a specific cell location to designate for a layer break. If none of this is applicable please forgive me. In that case I will shop for a new drive instead. What's your opinion on these? The LG claims to be able to burn up to Quad-Layer BD discs. I will eventually move to Blu Ray discs. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827136269 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827129075 Thank you.

I have tried both settings, I have achieved identical results.

Hello, I'm having a rather persistent issue with burning a DL DVD. I'm using Verbatim DataLifePlus DVD+R DL inkjet printable discs. They are allegedly the highest quality discs available. The content I'm attempting to burn is a custom video I edited in Avid Studio. Avid created the image for DL media and the file size is about 7.6Gb. When I use ImgBurn to burn the image to disc I've been getting failures during verify, beginning when Layer 1 starts. This leads me to believe that I have an issue with my layer break point. ImgBurn selects a break point for me by assigning it a gold star. I have been selecting that each time. What am I missing here?
