I did specifically say Erase -> Full too, but it looks like that log was from an attempted Quick Erase.
-
Yes, you can perform a full format of it within ImgBurn.
Right click the drive selection drop down box and pick Erase -> Full.
That won't make it accessible within Windows via a drive letter though, but maybe it'll allow Windows to actually try and prepare the disc if that's the type of access you require (i.e. use it like a large floppy disk).

You can’t erase a DVD-R, you need DVD-RW for that.
-
It doesn’t make much sense that it wouldn’t error out during the write phase but it does during verify. Must be a bug somewhere.
Can you please tell me the exact size in bytes of the bin file? -
That message box suggests the name of the file is actually blank. Same issue if you load the cue rather than the ccd file?
-
Could do with a screenshot of the initial error please.
For some reason, the OS has decided the file is inaccessible, but it would help to see the name to check it’s ok. -
There’s a tab in ImgBurn where you configure the volume labels for whichever file systems you’ve chosen to include. I simply meant to put a different value for each one.
Your mkfsiso command line doesn’t appear to include UDF, so it could well be a problem with the parsing of that file system that’s causing the issue. In which case, try just setting ImgBurn to use ISO9660 + Joliet. -
Did you try doing what I said? What was the result? Do you actually get to see the volume label of the mounted image anywhere?
It won’t be any of the settings, disk image mounter just can’t understand the image properly. -
Seeing as there’s no image conversion feature in ImgBurn, I’m going to assume you just mounted your img file using that other tool and then simply used Build mode to make a new ISO image.
If the folders show up when you ‘browse’ the ISO in Windows, they must be there. I have no idea why they’re then not visible when doing the same using Ubuntu.
Give each file system a different volume label when you build the ISO and then see which one gets shown by each operating system.
If they both show the same one, it’s must be down to the way it’s parsing the descriptors of said file system. -
Don't do it, I've heard really bad things about that website. Someone said they steal all your data and wipe your hard drive.

The privacy policy is linked at the bottom of every page on the website. They can't have looked too hard!
Yes, the ImgBurn exe might appear old, but the optical disc world simply hasn't changed since then.
The installer used to include a 3rd party plug-in that handled a bit of 'within the installation wizard' advertising of 3rd party programs. That plug-in is no longer included and the company that used to run it has closed off that section of their business. As such, that classification is out of date. Scan the current setup exe and you'll see it's perfectly clean.
-
Yes. It was taking the volume label from one file system and applying it (verbatim) to another - without any sort of compliancy checks.
-
I always wrap mine in a towel and store them in the freezer.

Seems like something is wrong with madFlac on your system.
DirectShow is reporting it can't be loaded for some reason.
-
Chance are (as per the 'hint' in that messagebox), you don't have a DirectShow filter installed that can cope with converting your source (flac) files into CDDA.
If such a DirectShow filter is impossible to find, you could always go the route of using a sound editing program to convert/export them in the standard WAV 44kHz/16 bit /stereo format.

EAC is a good choice for audio stuff. No idea how well that’ll work for data+audio discs.
-
You have to download the appropriate language file and do what it tells you to do on the download page of the website.

There's error correction built into most data sectors, so the drive should know if it has read a sector correctly. If it hasn't/can't, it should return an error to the program and the program will then inform you.
Audio tracks / sectors don't work like that though. If there's an error in one of those, you'll just have to live with it - but I'm sure it would only be a tiny blip. 1 bad sector is 1/75th of a second.
The program should suggest an appropriate image format type for the disc in the drive. It'll use ISO for basic discs with a single Mode 1 track and it'll use BIN/CUE for everything else.
-
Thanks, I've fixed this now.
-
As they’re meant to last for hundreds of years, I doubt it makes much difference to you if you used a simple ‘read’ operation to check the disc or if you look at pif type levels.
If it passes a read operation now, it’ll still do so in 50 years time.
That said, if you have the ability to scan for such info, why risk the long term archiving of important data on a disc that is of immediately questionable readability? -
Of course, nothing is perfect. Like I said, the ‘amount’ of errors depends on your drive and how well it can burn them. Some will be better at burning them than others.
Btw, if you just ask the same question over and over again, I’ll simply ban this new account you’ve made too. -
That would depend on how well your drive can burn them.
I doubt usage has any effect on the speed at which a disc deteriorates. Plus, if you're talking about M-Disc, they're designed to last for ages.
-
You haven’t included/enabled cd-text info when creating the cue.
-
You can't.
You'd need to extract the contents from each one, merge them (contents of each ISO into its own folder or something) and then burn the entire thing.
If you just want to archive the ISO's on 1 disc (as in, back them up), use build mode.

As I doubt wincatalog is actually that clever, it’s probably just looking at the volume label of the discs.
You can configure that to whatever you want it to be.
