  1. If all the buffers in the program are behaving themselves (i.e. at 100%), the drives WOPC routines must be kicking in big time.

     

    oh do all programs look as messed up as that screenshot because you've changed the default windows font size? That would drive me nuts, I'd rather change resolution down a bit if I couldn't read the text properly!

  2. I've made no attempt to make anything support unicode... so it's quite possible it doesn't work!

     

    Do you have a small image (i.e. 5mb - or can you please make one?) so that I can see what you mean and try to fix it. Thanks.

  3. Just load the image, it should automatically pick up the LB info.

     

    Double check this theory by right clicking on the 'Sectors' value once you've loaded the image and displaying IFO layer break information.

     

    (or via Tools -> ISO -> Display IFO Layer Break Information)

  4. I'm nice to people that listen. Others get my back up and then I'm a bit rude, sorry.

     

    30 posts later in the thread and you're still getting 'Write Errors'. Those messages come direct from the drive. You can't write a disc in any other way, so different software doesn't even come into it.

     

    Read the MMC specs from www.t10.org if you want to know more.

    You'll see there are 3 commands to write data to a disc.

     

    Write (6), Write (10) and Write (12).

     

    They're all just variations of each other.

     

    You'll notice from the I/O Error box that I happen to use Write (10). That's the most widely used/accepted one. I send a Write (10) command to your drive, providing some data to write, it's coming back saying it CANT write to the media. I'm amazed there is actually ever any room for discussion on this type of problem.

     

    You could buy some TY discs to try, that's about the best CD media you can get and probably your best chance of draining the last bit of life from your CDRW.

  5. Media has moved on... your drive has not.

     

    In that sense, yes it IS less able to burn CDR.

     

    Kinda like taking a really old 'leaded petrol' car and putting shell optimax in it.

     

    If you've burnt discs from that EXACT same spindle before, your drive has quite possibly given up the ghost. Run a lens cleaner through it or something.

     

    Other than that, feel free to keep playing ignorant to everything we're telling you. After all, we're the ones providing help, you're the one asking for it. You obviously know better :wacko:

  6. Ah just saw your post over at cdfreaks and I was gonna reply to it but the site seems to have gone down for me.

     

    That's a really weird place for it to get stuck, yeah you can easily enable I/O debug mode at this point - press F8 as soon as the program starts to load.

     

    Then just copy + paste the log. If you can't copy + paste, try and copy out the last few lines.

     

    The message in the status bar is often helpful too.

  7. is it doing an erase / format at this precise moment in time?

     

    Those % values come from what the drive is saying - can't help it if they're not valid and therefore what you'd expect.

     

    The format/erase process is something the drive does internally, you just tell it to do it. You then query the drive every so often until it says it's finished. It's that query that gives us the % complete value.

  8. THIS is your error, not 'invalid address for write'.

     

    W 12:32:24 Failed to Write Sectors 1676864 - 1676895 - Unknown (Internal Target Failure) (0x44, 0x4B)

     

    Your drive is messing up during the burn.

     

    Like the others have said, try some different (decent) media.
