LIGHTNING UK!

The thread you linked to pretty much covers it, as does the audio cd guide in the guides section of the forum. You should be able to burn your EAC cue files.

Can you post the log then please? As I said, it wouldn't be doing it if it wasn't rewritable. If it really isn't rewritable, your drive must just be reporting that it is.

Unless your drive is reporting a bogus error (and assuming you remembered it correctly), that would mean you're trying to burn more on the disc than actually fits. I do realise that doesn't fit with what you've said in your post. If the drive is causing nothing but problems, would it not be wise to get another one?

Try buying the proper verbatim MKM-003-00 discs that everyone/where tells you to buy. The Ritek ones often fail. Turn off online hypertuning too.

It wouldn't be doing it if it wasn't rewritable.

Udma 32 errors mean there's something wrong with the connection to your drive or the drivers are messing up. Try the udma fix in the FAQ where you uninstall the controller in device manager.

Your drive produced a bad burn. Revert ImgBurn's settings to their default values, you don't need to mess around with them. If your drive supports the command, try clearing its OPC history. If it still can't produce a decent burn, you'll have to try sourcing another spindle of discs and hope they're better.

They pick up on Opencady within the installer. Opencandy offers you 3rd party software during the installation process. It only runs within the installer and so where that's concerned, you've nothing to worry about.

That isn't something ImgBurn can help you with. Sorry.

You heard wrong.

YouTube videos are generally full of rubbish. Post your burn log and we'll take a look.

Your drive produced a bad burn and the disc was unreadable. You may get better results at 4x.

No, not drive specific. You end up losing tiny fractions of a second if the drive's read offset isn't cancelled out by its write offset, that's all. Liteon drives seem to produce proper duplicates without any messing around. For others, if you're really fussed about those tiny fractions of a second, use something like EAC with the correct offsets.

Drives read audio sectors with different offsets (byte 1 might be byte 20 from another drive), so although it might appear that the files are totally different, they're probably the same if you look ahead or behind a certain number of bytes. BIN and CUE is correct for Audio CDs, that's why the program defaults to it. Essentially though, the 'bin' bit is just a file extension and could be replaced by img. The data in the file is identical.

ImgBurn setting and drive settings are 2 different things. Revert ImgBurn's settings to their default values (go into Tools - Settings and hit the defaults button). Then when you go to burn your next disc and it prompts you saying your drive isn't optimally configured for overburning DVD+R DL, let it correct your drive settings. It says overburning because that's what you're doing. You're burning more on the disc than it was designed to hold.

So revert ImgBurn's settings to their default values and let it configure your drive ones.

Ok well your directshow filter list / graph is as clear as can be, so I've no idea why you're having the problem you are. There are other things I could ask you to do in order to get to the bottom of it, but as you already have a working solution, you might as well just stick with that.

Yes, I mean the hypertuning stuff. The program checks how you've configured the drive and will make suggestions if it deems necessary. Just make sure you're using v2.5.8.0.

That isn't a progress bar, it's showing you how much of the disc you've used up. All you need to do (from the point shown in your picture) is right click the item in the list and display the filter list. If you don't mind, please still do that for me as I'm curious as to what's messing things up for you.

So it's not even playing ok on the pc? ImgBurn detects filters decoding as digital silence, so maybe something else is causing it (and it isn't actual silence). Open the 'Create CUE' feature via the tools menu and add your Flac file. Then right click it and show the directshow filter list. Let me know what it says please.

If you don't have logs, make new ones. The default settings work fine. You just adjust your drive settings as per ImgBurn's recommendation - and of course be sure to use the recommended discs.

Uninstall those codecs and install the madFlac one that's linked in the audio cd guide in the guides forum. Update ImgBurn to the current release and try again.

Yes that's fine but if you run into errors where it can't allocate enough memory, drop it down to 512 or 256.

There isn't, no. You could up the I/O buffer a bit so your drive is less likely to have to 'pause' the burn.
