LIGHTNING UK!

That's the problem here... it shouldn't be erroring out on that command. ImgBurn has a 'Filter Driver' feature in the Tools menu. You can use that to clear out the Upper and Lower Filter drivers too. Microsoft's has a CD/DVD 'Fix It!' tool that can also correct this type of thing.

I can only suggest you try burning at 4x instead of MAX. If it still fails, you'll have to try some different discs. I don't know why your drive is complaining about them, it just is.

This is nothing to do with ImgBurn, why are you posting it here? They're Blu-ray discs... the XBOX 360 doesn't support Blu-ray discs. So obviously the answer is 'No'.

I guess your car CD player is having trouble reading the disc then. Try with some decent 'write once' Taiyo Yuden CDs. Rewritable discs are best left for use in a computer. If the above makes no difference and if you have access to one, try burning a disc on another drive. Some produce discs that are less compatible than others.

Your drive can't burn Blu-ray discs, it can only read them.

That depends on which version the MDS file is (v1 works, anything beyond that doesn't). Load the MDS in Write mode and see if it works.

Then what you've got there are budget / value verbatim discs. You need the ones with the 'MKM-003-00' MID, not the 'UME' ones as you have now. There's nothing wrong with using the payload tool, but it enabling overburning and your drive physically being able to overburn are 2 very different things. You should have got a liteon drive (or clone) or an optiarc 5280S-CB-PLUS/ROBOT.

You're using rubbish discs and your drive probably won't work with overburning unless it supports the LiteOn command that enables the 'Force HyperTuning'. Ignore what you've read on the internet about buffer sizes (i.e. setting it to 72MB), they have nothing to do with how well your drive can burn discs.

You can access the auto-saved log via the Help menu.

If it can be read, it can be copied. If it can't be read, it probably won't work anyway!

Correct, the file dates/times won't change. Change it manually via something like this... http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/filedatech.html ...and then send them the new files. Oh and relying on file date/times to see if the contents of a file have been changed is silly (stupid replication company). It's trivial to set them back to whatever you what having modified a file.

It only modifies it in memory (and the modified version then gets written to the image/disc. Check the MD5 of each IFO file... you/they should see it's different for at least one of them compared to the one they rejected.

Another thread with the exact same drive / problem from back in 2011. http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?/topic/18065-unable-to-create-an-image-file-iso/

This is the problem here, your drive is returning bad information. 'LTS' is the 'Logical Track Size'. Your drive is saying it's only 1 sector long, hence why ImgBurn is just reading sector 0. The ND12 firmware update may fix the problem... it may not. http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/19/driverdetails?driverid=R185338

Copy + paste all of the disc info from the box on the right when you're in Read mode please. Your drive may not be reporting certain things properly for that disc.

It can't, no.

There must be hundreds of thousands (millions even) of burnt discs out there that aren't 50/50 and I don't recall people having said they were running into problems... so it should be perfectly safe. Yes you can choose any of the options you're given. I expect the drive would pad out the 2nd layer if truly required so they're the same size and therefore more 'readable' or whatever. You'd have to read up on the DVD+R DL format and the various technical specs to really know what difference it makes not having burnt to both layers in a certain physical area on the disc. (I don't know the answer, sorry).

They were quite common when CDs were still 'big'... not so much these days obviously. I'm pretty sure drive reviews (over at CDFreaks anyway) used to cover burning the oversized CDs... even up to 99 minute ones. I couldn't tell you which drives support them and which don't, it's not information my brain has retained!

If it (the player) doesn't support it, it'll probably freeze/hang.

I don't suppose you took a screenshot of that offer screen did you? I have no way of knowing if I'll see the same one should I ever get offered that application.

You can buy 90 minute blank CD-Rs.

Eject it, reinsert it and try again. If you haven't already done so that is. If you have another drive anywhere, try it in that too.

No reason that I can think of, no. ImgBurn doesn't really pay any attention to the write speeds reported by the drive. It sends the command to set the speed to whatever you've selected and reports back with whatever the drive then thinks it's going to be burning at. If the 'Effective' speed is shown to be 8x, it should be burning at 8x. Internal drive stuff is then what would be causing it to burn at a different speed to that - either something in the firmware or the chipset itself maybe.

Try a decent 'write once' (not rewritable) disc... I recommend Taiyo Yuden CDs.

walking opc Basically, calibrating/adjusting the laser power as it goes in an effort to get the best quality burn possible.
