LIGHTNING UK!

I think you're talking about the book type / bitsetting. Yes, ImgBurn supports that and sets it to DVD-ROM automatically for most drives. It's a function the drives need to support though, there's no 'standard' way of doing it.

Windows media player doesn't display cd text unless you install a 3rd party plugin. http://bmproductions.fixnum.org/index.htm?http://bmproductions.fixnum.org/moreprogs/wmpcdtext.htm What you're seeing from it when you insert that shop bought disc is data from the Internet.

If it can't stop straight away, it's usually because it isn't in control and is waiting for the drive to finish processing a command.

CD-DA is a specific format... 44kHz, 16 bit, stereo. Anything that isn't already in that format will get converted to it. If no conversion is possible (due to lack of filters etc), you get the error you're getting. So I'm afraid you'll have to convert your high quality wav files yourself in a sound editing program and then add the new ones to the disc.

Settings aren't lost, they're always written somewhere unless the program has been told not to save them. Are you trying to load them from a file but save to the registry? I don't suppose that's supported. Export the registry key instead and import it if you mess things up too much. I don't know about OPC. You'd have to burn and scan discs with it configured each way and see which produces the better burns.

Ok well I can only assume that's either due to the source image not being 100% correct or there being an issue with the playback device. The disc itself should be fine.

Post the burn+verify log from that burn please.

You may have more luck with better quality discs. Get some Taiyo Yuden CDs and burn them at the lowest speed your drive supports. Different drives will also produce different quality burns on different discs, so you may find one of your burners produces a more 'playable' (on your car cd player) disc than the other two burners. I have no idea which drives support those really slow speeds, nor on which specific discs they'd support them on. I haven't burnt at anything below about 16x or 24x (on CD) for 10+ years.

Your image is corrupt. Notice for 'file systems' it says 'None'.

Reset ImgBurn's setting to their default values, turn off 'online hypertuning' on the drive, clears its OPC history and try burning again at 4x.

Post the disc info from the box on the right when you're in Write mode please. Your drive decides which speeds discs can and can't be burnt at.

Unless that's where it was waiting for user input? You're using an old version of the program there btw.

As the drive is going through the motions of burning the disc and yet it's still coming out looking like it's blank, you should just consider it faulty and get a replacement.

The 'empty sector' bit suggests something weird started going on where the drive stopped returning actual data or a driver started messing things up and breaking the I/O chain so the data never made it back to the program.

There's a guide for burning Audio CDs in the Guides forum.

You can access the auto saved log via the Help menu.

Can you post the log please?

Because that's a totally different drive? Every drive has different abilities. Some can burn certain MID discs better than others. Your Samsung SH-S202J burner doesn't like them very much. Using different (better) discs is the easy option. If you'd prefer to buy another drive and hope it does a better job, feel free to do so.

They look like used xbox360 discs to me. Where did you buy them from?! You can't erase or overwrite them, they are WORM discs.

Try burning at 4x. If that doesn't work, stop using those discs and buy the recommended Verbatim ones.

Have you let it through your firewall? Which one are you running? The issue is external to the program.

What's the message in the status bar when you try to close it? The same as in your initial post? If so, what I said in my first post still stands.

ImgBurn performs the conversion from mp3 to CD-DA, it's not a step you need to perform yourself. Just drag + drop your mp3 files in the box instead of the converted wav files. The CD-TEXT options you see in the Create CUE window are where you give the tracks names.

Unless the pc can't supply enough juice when it's trying to burn, removing the other drive shouldn't make a difference. That said, if it's easy to try it, try it. At the moment, your drive can't find a suitable laser power level to burn those discs.

It's impossible to answer that question based on the info you've provided. Have you even burnt a dvd video disc? Post the log back please. If you've just burnt the 4 files, you've burnt a data disc. Playback issues are due to the files you've burnt.
