LIGHTNING UK!

Boot into safe mode and see if you still have the same problems. They're probably caused by something else on your machine. Did you change any hardware or was this just an OS reinstall? Were you already running 8 or is that new?

How is that drive connected? Is it internal or external? I'm not saying it's failing, it's just slow for some reason. You can always increase the buffer in the Settings (on the I/O tab, Page 2). Try 256 MiB or something.

That buffer warning is because your machine (mainly the hdd) was too busy with other stuff to provide ImgBurn with a steady stream of data. It's taking 7 - 8 seconds to refill the 80MiB buffer... that isn't great performance for a hdd (it's awful).

This is a hardware issue, it must have a problem with those discs. MKM-001 and MKM-003 are both listed in the firmware, so it shouldn't really have an issue with either of those MIDs. Cleaning it may or may not help... it's really just up to you if you want to try that first before buying a new drive.

The adapter must not support the command used for the advanced settings. They don't all work properly with optical drives. What's the chipset used on it? (the main controller chip)

Your drive appears unable to re-initialise the disc it just burnt... so either it's just really bad at reading (where you then get this issue with almost all discs) or it did a really bad job of burning the 'VERBAT-IMd-000' disc you used. If it's been ok with them in the past, trying discs from another spindle or cleaning the drive with a cleaning disc may help. You may still end up buying a new drive though.

If you get a card that supports optical drives nicely, sure.

You could mount the ISO in a virtual drive program and then build a new one from the virtual drive with ImgBurn. You could even extract it using something like winrar or 7zip and do the same. I don't know why the sony would block playing it as a disc.... Maybe a region / tv system restriction? Is the firmware on your player up to date?

Convert them into DVD video format using something like dvdflick or convertxtodvd and then but the output with ImgBurn.

CDA files don't really exist. Just try and play the disc in media player.

I can't see a problem with that. Is there nothing on the disc if you play it in your PC or have you only tried it on a standalone player? The program detects when filters have decoded to digital silence, so that shouldn't be what's happening here.

Put a new blank disc in the drive, it looks like that one has already been written to.

It isn't a project and I've no idea where you got the idea from that it was. It's this... http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/Libraries/XE3/en/Vcl.Forms.TApplication.BiDiMode

No

Post the log please - as per the pink box up the top.

Once you've added one of your flac files to the cue window, right click it and display the directshow filter list. Let us know what it says please.

That probably doesn't use directshow for the conversion to cdda format. There's something wrong with the directshow graph / filters your machine is using to decode mp3.

That doesn't solve the actual problem.

ImgBurn won't work until you fix whatever problem your OS has with your drives.

You should probably just uninstall k-lite and add filters as and when you need them. The OS should be able to handle MP3 by itself without any extra ones.

I do nothing with/for BiDi except change a variable the development environment offers me. It's an English application, any other support for languages is a bonus.

No and no.

Show a user an error and they'll question it. They gain nothing by knowing there was a problem obtaining said info and it just creates more work for me when they ask why it isn't working.

It looks like something is wrong with your system. How is the drive attached to your machine? SATA? USB? Try the Microsoft FixIt tool. http://support.microsoft.com/mats/cd_dvd_drive_problems
