LIGHTNING UK!

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.

I don't have one without you providing more info, no. What file were you trying to burn? Imgburn doesn't convert anything so unless your player plays those types of files, it isn't going to work. Post the log please so I can see that it burnt and verified ok.

Your drive is reporting a 'write error' first, so it doesn't like the discs you're trying to use. Get some different ones.

You need to post the log.

If it's worked before with those same discs, just try another one. Personally, I'd stop buying the Ritek discs and get some decent verbatim ones using the mkm-003-00 mid/dye.

'Physical format information - last recorded' is the one to look at, and that says 'book type: dvdrom'.

Yes, buying decent discs would undoubtedly help.

Probably, yes. Btw, don't trim the log. We need all of it.

No, that's how it's being reported to the program. Windows does it like that on purpose.

Your cue file is using a *.wv file for the audio and as such, you need a directshow filter installed on your PC that can handle decoding wv files. The 2nd post in the audio cd guide contains links to such filters. Once the wv one has been installed correctly, directshow will be able to be used to decode it and ImgBurn will work fine.

Open the cue file in notepad and copy + paste its contents here please.

You're obviously dealing with audio cd images here. What type of files make up those images? You can find links to the right DirectShow filters for a given file type in the audio cd guide in the Guides section of this forum.

Formatting a disc properly takes time and the program is doing what it's supposed to based on what your drive is reporting.

Yes

It's a fall back message if all drives return 'access denied'.

Something else you've got installed on your machine is probably messing things up. What's in your filter driver list? Use the feature in the Tools menu to find out. Copy the info to the clipboard and then paste it here please.

It makes several... depending on the options you select during installation. There should be an ImgBurn program group in the start menu, a desktop icon and a quick launch icon. If you aren't getting them, you probably aren't using the proper installer. It should be called 'SetupImgBurn_2.5.8.0.exe' and the MD5 should match the one written on the Download page of the website.
