LIGHTNING UK!

Scan at 4x, not max. Your burns may get better as you burn more of those discs. The drive is supposed to learn as it goes.

Well all of the test I did with the drives were done with it off. The only setting that needed to be changed from its default value in order to get good burns was the force hypertuning one.

If your drive keeps saying that after multiple eject / insert attempts.... Possibly not. You can just try erasing it again anyway via any of the methods that make ImgBurn do just that.

You aren't getting a zip file, the program can't make such things. You've just associated ISO files with your compression program, making it look like a compressed file.

It might work with BDRE DL in general, but they're then made to work with specific MID discs. They're all different and so firmware needs tweaking accordingly.

Yes, clear opc history and try again with online hypertuning turned off. If it still fails, you'll have to try another spindle of discs and/or another drive.

All you'd need to do is run that file. The flasher is built in.

Your drive is producing a bad burn on those discs. It's not even failing at the layer break position, it's failing long before that. Does that drive support clearing its OPC history in the drive/advanced settings? If so, do it. Take a look at the packaging of your discs. Where were they made?

If you go into the 'ImgBurn Support' forum and read the pink box at the top of the page, you should see a link to a guide talking about log files. Failing that, check the Guides forum.

I don't know if that drive contains firmware support for that MID. Try cross flashing the drive to the better GGW model and then install the latest firmware update for it. Cross flashing details can be found here... http://club.myce.com/f61/lg-blu-ray-crossflash-ggw-h20l-gbw-h20l-be06lu10-be06lu11-260811/ Then use ImgBurn's firmware update check to locate a newer version for your drive.

ImgBurn can't shrink anything so you needn't worry about that. You should only be doing what you're doing if your images aren't being burnt. Don't do it because you're too lazy to pick a location for the layer break.

Ok, don't listen to me then. Why even bother posting for help?

Your drive is having trouble burning to the discs you're trying to use. Please post the full log from that attempt at burning.

Copy and paste whatever goes into the log window when you try and format the disc please.

That thing (text) you're upset about is just my 'signature'. It's automatically added to the bottom of all of my posts and wasn't aimed at you. Relax

That's just something it does. If you aren't ever going to burn them (so they're for a NAS or whatever) edit the size of single layer media on the media tab and it won't ask you.

You need to do what the program is telling you to do. You're currently in 'Write' mode and that's for burning disc image (ISO) files. Switch to Build mode and try again. There are several guides in the Guides section here on the forum, they should help you achieve what you want to do.

Probably a bad burn / disc. Try again.

You don't need a B, there are several others that work fine (A, B, C, D and E).

The express and custom things are purely for the 3rd programs you're being offered and nothing to do with ImgBurn. The title at the top of the screen says as much. The offer screens are nothing to do with me, I don't know what you're going to be offered and I don't know what the offer screen will look like. That's all handled by the advertising company's plugin and is done dynamically.

All BD disc are treated like single layer discs (just with different capacities). Once a layer is totally full, the drive moves onto the next one.

ImgBurn doesn't convert anything so unless your player will actually play the type of files you're trying to burn, you're wasting your time. If it plays them ok, the reason you can't pick them is probably because you've gone into Write mode which is for burning disc image files (ISO files). You'd need to be in Build mode, which you use for burning regular files and folders.

That drive won't work.

I haven't tried madFlac and windows 8. If the more automated way of registering the filter didn't work, I guess I'd try running regsvr32 on it directly from an elevated command prompt and see what happens. Failing that, I'd Google it. ImgBurn uses DirectShow for decoding audio files, so it's your system as a whole that needs to configured for it rather than ImgBurn.

Those aren't the default settings. MKM-001-00 were better being burnt at 4x than 2.4x. They may play for a while but as soon as it reaches the unreadable bit, it'll error out. Unreadable is unreadable.
