LIGHTNING UK!

Turn off 'Perform OPC before write', go back to SPTI instead of ElbyCDIO and clear the drive's OPC history before trying with the MKM-003-00 Verbatim discs at 4x.

It's not going to have burnt, verified and then be empty. Something else must be going on here. Can IsoBuster see the contents of the disc?

How much was it? Maybe it was just an empty enclosure or maybe it was a duo one with 2 x 5TB, making 10?

I can't see the verification process happening there.

It means what it says. But to you as an end user, it means your drive is having trouble burning the discs you're trying to use... which you already knew because it keeps failing.

Ignore that one, it's the first error you get that matters and yours was...

If the drive can't burn those discs at any of the 'Supported' write speeds, give up with using them and buy some better ones.

It isn't the speed tables that are the problem, your drive lists that it supports the speeds you're trying to use for that media. The problem appears to run deeper than that.

It must be a bug in the drive's firmware. No, you can't force the drive to do anything... the firmware either accepts or rejects commands that programs send it, but ultimately, it'll do whatever it wants! Your drive *thinks* it has accepted the write speed the program has asked it to use, that's why the 'Effective' speed says what you've set it to. The 'Effective' speed is the speed the drive reports it's going to burn at and isn't linked to the speed you select in ImgBurn. I wonder if some different discs would behave differently? There's a thread for this drive at the MyCE forums. Maybe some of their tests/results will show a disc burning ok at 2x. I know I saw a post over there yesterday saying the TS01 firmware update didn't fix the disc burning at 6x instead of the selected 2x (i.e. the problem you're having).

ImgBurn's erase/formatting all comes down to one thing... the 'Formatted' status field you can see in the disc info box on the right when you're in Write mode. If it says 'Yes' for that, it won't format. For anything else, it will and it'll do it properly so that field turns into a Yes. If you want it to behave like other formatters, adjust the settings so it doesn't format properly.

...from the failed burn. Use the option in the 'Help' menu to locate the auto-saved log if you've shut the program since you posted that screenshot.

Post (copy + paste) the log please, not a screenshot.

If the drive's firmware ignores 2x, try 4x. USB might just manage 4x ok and you may end up with a nice smooth write speed line without the drive having to spin up and down/pause all the time.

The 'Write Speed' drop down box is typically down the bottom right of the screen. If you're in 'Build' mode, you'll find it on the 'Device' tab on the right.

That didn't burn anything to disc, it just created an ISO on your hdd.

Which browser? Are you using the WYSIWYG editor or the basic text one? That's controlled by the little switch type button in the top left of the toolbars. I only use the basic text one. There are known issues with this version of the WYSIWYG editor on IE 11. I believe Invision Power have recently released an updated version and the notes said it fixed this problem... I'll get round to putting that on soon.

Looking at the graph data for the 6x burn, I'd say you're hitting the limits of USB 2.0 on your drive/usb controller combo and the drive is then having to throttle itself back (badly). That's causing the latter part of the burn to be really stop / start. I'll now await the same info from your 2x burn.

Post the log please and if you have the graph data files from those burns (ibg files), please post those too.

If you've told the program to close when it's done, it skips the sound and 'success' message box.

Then you'd use the files/folders option.

That depends on if you have your DVD Video as an image file (an ISO file etc.) or as a bunch of files/folders (a VIDEO_TS folder and/or a bunch of IFO/VOB/BUP files).

Sometimes drives will round up the number of sectors they burn to the nearest 16. So if you read a disc with 14 sectors, you'll get an image with 14 sectors. Burn that 14 sector image to a disc and you may end up with a disc that appears to have 16 sectors and then when you read it back, you'll end up with an image with 16 sectors.

Can you post the log please?

Did it verify ok? Try just removing the disc from the drive, rebooting the machine and then putting it back in. Sometime windows just doesn't notice the disc has changed.
