LIGHTNING UK!

If you're sticking with LG, surely you'd just find their latest model and buy it? For drive reviews and user feedback, might I suggest you try the forums over at MyCE.

If your drive is reporting a 'write error', there isn't much ImgBurn can do about it. As you've already tried OPC on, try changing the write type to incremental. That shouldn't be required and just shows a deeper issue. Programs don't really control the burn, they just send data to the drive. So there should be no difference from one to the other in terms of what works and what doesn't.

What happens if you load ImgBurn and configure it how you like it, then close it down and let avstodvd do its thing?

Does it actually still say 'Reserving Track' in the status bar? If so, that's all it's doing and having submitted the command to the drive, it's waiting for it to finish. That's to say, ImgBurn isn't in control. Try it again in safe mode, just to check the same thing happens. The 'Reserve Track' command may or may not be 100% required for BD-R, but there's no way to tell ImgBurn *not* to send it. It doesn't however really care if it's successful or not and would just fail silently - assuming it ever regains control from the system/drive.

It sounds like you're trying to burn a single file that's larger than 4gb? You can't have that. Did you tell DVD Shrink to output to an ISO rather than a VIDEO_TS folder? If you have an ISO, you should be using Write mode, not Build mode.

Yes, that's copy protection and I'm pretty sure ImgBurn should have popped up an error saying that it can't read copy protected discs.

That's not exactly the conclusion I come to when reading my last reply. I'd burn it again until it completes without having to terminate the process... fixing drivers / the OS as I go until it works.... but maybe that's just me?

ImgBurn hasn't frozen, it's just waiting for that task to complete. It's polling your drive every second to find out if it has. So either your drive got stuck or your Sata controller drivers are messing things up and saying things are still in progress when they aren't - i.e. not forwarding on the true response from the drive. If verification passed, the data side of things is fine (present and correct). When burns fail to finish nicely, it sometimes means the disc won't be recognised in some drives though. Just bare that in mind.

It shouldn't be trying to save there.... point the destination file somewhere else you are allowed to write to. (i.e. your 'Documents' folder)

Right click it, properties, shortcut tab, Advanced button, Run as administrator. That may work

Ok so what do you actually have? If it's not a folder, it must be a file... right? So what's the full name (name + file extension) of this file? If it's a compressed file (zip, rar, 7z etc. - or even exe in the case of a self extracting compressed file) then you need to extract it somewhere. If it's a disc image (img, iso, bin etc.) then you can burn it straight to disc using 'Write' mode ('Write image file to disc'). If the disc image is bootable, it'll say 'Bootable' next to the 'File System' label once you've loaded it in Write mode.

I assume you've shut your PC right down (power off) and turned it on again? These things don't normally stop working overnight if you haven't done anything. The setting is a drive one (not ImgBurn), so if you've previously turned hypertuning on, it'll still be on.

The commands are probably being blocked by the drivers you're running for your SATA controller - or some other low level driver is blocking them.

The boot disc has to load CD drivers, then you'll be able to access whatever you've put on the CD (via the 'Soruce' box) via the drive letter the CD drivers give to your CD drive. So the boot CD portion of the disc might take up drive letter A: or C:, then the CD drivers may give your CD drive the drive letter D:. You'd need to switch to D: to access 'normal' content.

You'll have to try in another drive. Some just aren't capable of burning copies that work in some navigation systems. As the working copy was burnt in an LG drive, try and use one of those.

I saw this problem a few months back and it was because the person had downloaded something different. This is the file you want. http://download.imgburn.com/SetupImgBurn_2.5.8.0.exe

It's detected as a 'potentially unwanted' (optional) program, hence the name you see there in MBAM's prompt. Anything related to advertising is potentially unwanted. I don't want adverts every 10 minutes when I'm watching TV. Uninstalling ImgBurn isn't going to make any difference, the file is purely there for the opencandy part of the installer and it's only used within the context of the installer. I sent you to their website so you could see what you were worrying about. OpenCandy isn't malicious, it's simply an advertising platform for installers.

That sounds like a cdrw rather than a dvdrw. Double check your discs.

That would be the 'Show Tray Icon' option in its settings.

Oh so autoplay itself is still working just fine. If you aren't seeing ImgBurn on the autoplay list, it might be because it can't add itself as an option. Right click your ImgBurn shortcut and run it as administrator. Then just close it down and try autoplay again.

No, this isn't ImgBurn. It'll be your machine... be it the cable, drivers for the controller, low level software messing things up etc.

Right click the drop down box where you select the drive. The same menu can be accessed via Tools -> Drive.

Removing DT probably won't remove SPTD. You may need to run the SPTD installer from DuplexSecure and then uninstall it that way. You can probably stick with DT, just use a DT virtual drive and not a SCSI or IDE one. SCSI and IDE will probably rely on SPTD and hence not work once it's removed. I'm not 100% sure 'DT Adapter' is available in the 'lite' version though, I have 'pro'. I also have Virtual CloneDrive installed.
