There isn't, no. You can opt out of installing anything OpenCandy offers you by simply clicking a box or two.

Post the burn + verify log please.

You don't do anything with layer breaks on BD discs, they're to be treated as if multiple layers didn't exist in the first place. Unlike on DVD+R DL media, you cannot set a position for the layer break / move it around and the individual layers are always burnt in full. If your player is taking 20 seconds (plus how ever long it can actually handle in its internal buffer) to catch up after the laser refocuses on the 2nd layer, I'd have to assume it can't read the disc very well. Did it verify ok after the burn?

Right click the drive selection box and click 'family tree'. Close the prompt that comes up and then copy and paste everything from the log window please.

The installer uses the OpenCandy plugin for 3rd party offerings as part of the wizard. They have a large library of software they create offers from and it's all done dynamically within the wizard. The bit of installer that I'm in complete control of just installs ImgBurn. The reset is down to you to opt in or out of whatever OpenCandy offers you. Their part wouldn't install something you've opted out of.

Your initial error came from reading the source files... so there's an issue with your D: drive. Changing the priority doesn't fix anything. Don't waste your time with that. Plus, the program does that itself anyway when it starts burning something.

Is it an image of a DVD video disc? The program may find a nice layer break position in it anyway if it's been built correctly. I believe there's a feature in the tools menu for displaying layerbreak info in an image isn't there? Try it and see what happens. Failing that, mount the image in a virtual drive program and use build mode to make a new one from the virtual drive.

ImgBurn has nothing to do with USB sticks, it burns disc ISO images to blank discs (cd / DVD / bd )

That log was about 4 or 5 different burns wasn't it? Only the last one seemed to be taking a while for the drive to write the leadin and you aborted it. If your drive is unable to burn decent discs at any of the supported speeds and you've already tried what I've suggested, buy yourself a new drive.

Try all supported write speeds. Look for firmware updates for your drive. Clean the drive with a cleaning disc. Try another spindle of discs - if the ones you're using are all from the same one.

You still need to pick one of them and enable the seamless option.

Take control your antivirus and tell it not to.

You can find out which drive is causing that by following what's written in the FAQ. This is not a general windows 10 issue, it works fine with that OS.

Your issue looks a lot like this one. http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?/topic/23822-burning-dvdr-dl-error-the-semaphore-timeout-period-has-expired/

So it's probably down to the drivers now being used then or something. The drive seems to have been disconnected after 10 or so seconds of being 'busy'. That's beyond my control, I'm specifically setting a much longer timeout than that.

I thought you said ImgBurn could read the cd text on the disc you burnt? So it can burn and read it just fine. You're burning a cue, so none of the options you're talking about are relevant.

This is a common system issue with USB connected drives. Other adapters, enclosures and controllers can sometimes work around the problem. You just need a combo that works properly. Where possible, use the drive internally.

Clonecd was designed for that type of thing. You can't use ISO for that, it relies on the extra data in the img and sub files.

If ImgBurn can see it on the disc you burnt, I'm not sure how there can be a problem with it? It's either there or it isn't. Sorry, I'm not really sure what to say.

That looks like safedisc or securom copy protection to me. I'm afraid ImgBurn won't work with protected discs.

Can you post the log from the burn / verification of the master you made please? Also, switch to Read mode and see if ImgBurn can see the cd text on the disc by clicking the media information button in the Source box.

Help me out here... what were you offered and what did you install?

Nothing is bundled, the opencandy plugin offers things dynamically from a massive list of apps. I don't know what you're offered and it can change each time you run the installer. If something it offered and you installed has done that to your machine, they need to be made aware of it as I'm quite sure it shouldn't be.

Do not mess around with the hardware read error retires setting, put it back on the default (of not setting it). Post the log of the next burn + verify you do once you've reset the settings back to default.

Because you have to add something into a manifest within the exe to make windows report newer versions of windows. Otherwise it'll never go beyond windows 8 (8.0). 2.5.8.0 predates 8.1 and 10.0, therefore it's missing said info from the manifest in the exe. It's purely cosmetic though so nothing to worry about. I believe booting into safe mode makes windows report the real os version to the program.
