LIGHTNING UK!

You're getting a semaphore timeout... which is then causing windows to disconnect the drive. There aren't really any settings to get around this, it's a hardware issue (between the USB ports and your adapter). Try other USB ports, cables and adapters.

Your drive appears to have issues with burning those discs. That could just be at 4x, or it may not really like them at all. You could try enabling the 'Perform OPC Before Write' option in the settings on the 'Write' tab to see if that makes a difference. Failing that, buy some disc using a different MID/dye (not more 'CMCMAG-BA5-000' ones).

Your 2nd suggestion (editing the size of single layer media) is the right one big_duggy.

Can you look at the CD-TEXT info of the burnt disc in ImgBurn please? Go into Read mode and click on the little 'View Media Information' button in the Source box. See if it shows the correct info where dBpoweramp isn't.

If you haven't already done so, please revert the settings to their default values (Tools -> Settings -> Defaults) or uninstall+reinstall the program. Can I assume your drive D: is meant to be your burner? How is it connected to the PC? Sata? USB?

There will be more virtualallocs going on when using build mode as there's a buffer for reading in the files and one for data going to the drive. Plus more memory is being used for handling the info about the files you're burning - and don't forget it's only a 32bit application. Have you (or can you, please) try what I said in my previous reply? After that, we'd have to examine a few things in Task Manager at the point when that error box is on the screen.

VirtualAlloc is the Windows API function call being used and you can see the error Windows is returning. Regardless of how much memory you have, you (we) can only go by what you're being told. Maybe try searching Google to find out why VirtualAlloc might fail like that when there should be enough memory. Can I assume the 'amount of I/O buffer selected' does actually change as you change the sliders? I only ask because there are a few different buffer related ones in the settings and they'll all come into play at different times within the program flow. If in doubt, revert the settings to their default values. You should also try running the program in safe mode - some other app may be causing the issue (A/V or whatever). Oh and don't run it as admin, run it as a normal user (don't elevate).

What's the exact error? Can you get a screenshot or something please?

The installer creates the uninstaller. If you really didn't end up with one in the same folder as the ImgBurn exe, I suggest you install it again and hope it gets created this time. Quite why it didn't get made the first time around is beyond me.

Are you sure you used the official setup program? ImgBurn is just an exe file really, so delete it and it's gone.

The problem with the desktop icon was probably a Windows glitch. If it double clicks ok and actually opens ImgBurn, it's fine. The icon would have probably sorted itself out after a reboot. Before OpenCandy, the installer bundled the Ask.com toolbar. So it hasn't been a 'pure' ImgBurn-only installer for about 4 years now.

There isn't much you can do except follow what's written in the 'pinned' topic. http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=8000

There is no express or custom install for ImgBurn If you read the title / heading of the page you're seeing that on, I'm sure you'll actually see it says about installing a 3rd party program (these 'advert' pages are inserted by the OpenCandy plugin) As in, it'll say: 'Install [such and such]' ' Recommended by ImgBurn' You're free to opt out of anything you don't want, it has no effect on the installation of ImgBurn itself.

Then your drive has probably had it.

Are they all on Ritek discs? That's why you aren't meant to use them, or anything other than verbatim MKM-003-00 / MKM-001-00.

Then you've probably got duff discs or a duff drive. Buy a decent spindle of MKM-003-00.

1. Don't write in capitals. 2. Stop bumping, this forum isn't busy enough to require it. 3. Learn the correct method of burning oversized images by doing some research / reading over at a more relevant website.

ImgBurn will burn DVD video discs if you feed it a compliant set of dvd video files/folders. So if you have that, the answer is yes. Otherwise, no. Compliant dvd videos files are IFO/VOB/BUP files.

Turn burnproof back on, disable online hypertuning, enable overspeed and burn them at 4x. You should clear the drives OPC history before trying again.

Default program settings, write speed at 4x and then just enable 'force hypertuning' on your drive. They're the best settings for when burning 'MKM-003-00' DVD+R DL to an extended capacity. Exactly what you're burning doesn't come into it.

The settings I mentioned have worked consistently with a range of drives I've tested.

Turn off online hypertuning. You can probably turn 'perform opc before write' off too.
