ISF Newbie

ISF Newbie (1/5)

  1. I have a spindle of verbatim on the way and I'll try Imgburn again. Confirmed firmware on burner Sony AQ170 (oem NEC or whatever that partnership they created is called...optiaca or something like that) is new (drive is about 1 month old and has seen very little action). Almost nothing installed on this machine. Windows Ultimate 32 bit, hotfixes, Nero, DVD Fab, MS Office 2007. I'll give it another shot when the new media arrives but the tally so far is: 1/10 good burns with Imgburn installed (Imgburn said 1 more was good but it doesn't read on any drives). The one "good" burn also stutters a lot. 10/10 good burns without Imgburn. Something does look suspect based on those results but of course this is all on Matrix (oem Ricoh) media and sample size is small. I'll rule out media when the new ones arrive. I'll even purchase a couple of other burners so we rule that out as well. Hopefully I can post back my findings in a week or two when everything comes in. I never had a previous version of ImgBurn on this PC so I can't say what I am seeing is specific to 2.2. It just so happens that is version I was using and what the thread creator stated as being perhaps problematic. I'm just confused why I'm seeing these results so please don't take this as an attack on the product (or the members responsible for its development). On the contrary, it's because the product proved so good in the past that I want to figure out why this is happening.
  2. I also experienced some odd behavior with Imgburn 2.2 and burning 360 DL media. I'm running Vista Ultimate and using Matrix 2.4x (oem Ricoh) certified DL discs. I had good results using the XBC burn engine. I also have Nero 7.7.5 installed. However, I decided to install Imgburn 2.2 as I prefer that as my burning tool. I adjusted no settings on Imgburn except unchecking the verify option. After install, my next 10 burns produced 8 coasters, all failing with a media sense error. Three failed while finalizing track, 3 failed right after lead-in, and the other 2 failed in the middle near the 50% mark. One of the discs I thought burned properly actually did not record properly. I kept thinking it must be the cheap media I purchased, though this was an extreme number of problematic discs. I realized that the only thing to change was the installation of Imgburn. After uninstalling Imgburn and rebooting, I produced 3 discs, all perfect. Imgburn must have somet type of effect as the coasters were produced even when I selected alternative burn engines such as XBC or Nero. There is definitely some type of correlation here, perhaps a dll? A correlation definitely seems to exist. I eventually would like to use Imgburn again but I would need to have this problem examined. Is there any type of troubleshooting steps I can take to see what may have been the cause of the problem?
