LIGHTNING UK!

Yes, I take a copy of the folder on the day I release a public version and name it accordingly.

You won't need to cross flash anything. It'll either be based on a LiteOn drive (and work) or it won't be.

That's exactly what it was.... DVD Decrypter's 'Write' mode.

Some models (or versions of models) work, some don't. Can't you find any Lite-On 'iHASx24 E' drives?

That means nothing.

What are the buffers doing on the slow drives? If they're both full, they must have slowed themselves down for some reason. I see nothing in your post saying 2 and 3 ever work as quickly as the rest. Maybe it's the way they're connect or how their channels are configured - PIO / DMA mode etc.

Sorry, I don't know. I don't follow the Asus drives.

Rubbish discs, read this... http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=8000

Try installing the latest Intel Rapid Storage Tech driver. https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=23538&ProdId=2101&lang=eng&OSVersion=%0A%09%09%09%09%09%09%09%09%0A%09%09%09%09%09%09%09&DownloadType= You could also try another port / cable / power plug. If possible, try it in another machine too. If you still have problems, try booting into safe mode and see if you have the same problem. Even the rewritables you tried were a cheapo dye, ideally I'd like to see what the drive does when presented with decent Taiyo Yuden or Verbatim discs. If it fails with those too then it's probably faulty.

Some online shops will mention the MID / dye being used. They'll be 8x and just make sure they aren't 'Value' ones. Read any reviews that have been posted by people buying them and check the comments.

No, get the right ones online if you can't buy them locally.

Right click the drive selection box and select 'Family Tree'. Close the prompt and then copy + paste everything from the log window. The drive seems to be erroring out and resetting itself. It could be faulty, yes. I'd check a few other things first though.

Turn the PC physically off and on again.

Do you have any decent discs you can test with? 'UME02' are low quality.

Stop using your machine / hdd so much for other stuff during the burn. Hopefully that'll stop you getting the buffer problems. Your discs are the cheapo 'CMC' dye and not the proper MKM one you should be using. Buy the better discs, not the value range if yours really are Verbatim at all.

Yeah, I believe that's the same thing as our 209EBK. We just have a different naming scheme for some reason.

Can you copy + paste the bit from the auto-saved log for that session please? The device list is only rescanned when the program isn't busy with things (otherwise it's queued up). There's code to ignore it at the end of an erase/format if it was being done automatically before a write operation.

The Asus will probably be a copy of one of them. I'd be leaning towards it being a copy of an LG though. Assuming latest models of course. Which pioneer did you get? A 208 or a 209? I got myself a 209EBK the other day. The 'EBK' one does BDXL too, the 'DBK' doesn't.

Your drive is just generally moaning about what's being asked of it. Is it just 1 of the 4 drives that's failing to burn? Here's what I'd try (make 1 change at a time until it works again)... 1. Change the burn speed to 8x. 2. Try enabling the 'perform opc before write' option. 3. Try changing the 'write type' to 'incremental'. Personally, I'd never use any discs with the low quality 'CMC' MID/dye, but that's your call.

Empty folders *are* included. Look in the Log window, maybe they're being excluded for another reason (like they're System or Hidden ones and the option to include such files/folder isn't checked).

I still have no idea Only the manufacturers (firmware writers) could tell you that.

No, sorry. If you want to shrink a BD movie, take a look at BD Rebuilder, ClownBD or the DVDFab suite.

It isn't a LiteOn drive, you can't really expect the LiteOn commands to work. Post the log of you burning and verifying such a disc/image.

I'm sure the LiteOn can... and it'll be done automatically. Not sure about the LG.

It's your drive that reports those values. Copy + paste the disc info from the box on the right for when your drive reports it correctly / misreports it.
