LIGHTNING UK!

No, don't be lazy.

The Verbatim disc probably used a different MID. The failure in that log was when burning to a 'CMCMAG-DI6-000' disc. Check and see what the Verbatim disc uses. I've never heard of Magic Blu-ray Copy. ImgBurn just burns stuff, it can't bypass protection on copy protected discs. My guess is that's what that program does... and it's what AnyDVD does too. ImgBurn has no problem with AnyDVD. AnyDVD changes things about discs on the fly. If it changes something on the disc you've just burnt, verification may fail. That's all the warning in the log is there for.

I guess your drive doesn't like CMC BD-R DL discs very much. Have you tried burning at the other supported write speeds? Are there any firmware updates available for your drive?

I've never seen opencandy install something without first prompting you and giving you the option of opting out. Maybe you skipped over the first offer page by accidentally clicking the 'next' button too many times or something. Unless you happened to be recording the screen at the time, I guess we'll never know.

Yes, you did it wrong. You used write mode ('write image file to disc') which is meant for burning image files. You need to use build mode ('write files/folders to disc').

I just Googled the model number. It's a CD-RW burner / DVD reader. So it's a 'combo' drive and can only read DVDs, it cannot write to them.

I could but I won't as there's no point.

Burning oversized images (XGD3) requires the right hardware. You should probably do some research before wasting discs. As this isn't an ImgBurn issue, I won't go into more detail, sorry.

It can only show that USB info when it can get it from the OS. If it isn't being displayed, it must have run into an issue finding it out. The 'Unknown' is nothing to do with it.

You've probably got 'Preserve Full Pathnames' enabled. Turn it back off. It's off by default so it's something you've done - or another app has done it for you when calling up ImgBurn (unlikely).

Buy better discs... some that aren't using the 'CMC MAG. AM3' MID.

Uninstall the drive from within Device Manager and reboot. If that doesn't fix it, run Microsoft's Fix-It tool. http://support.microsoft.com/mats/cd_dvd_drive_problems

I wouldn't have expected it to be a problem if your system codepage is configured for the same language used by your files. I will update the tutorial to mention it though if people run into the same problem.

What error are you getting? When you save the CUE (assuming you're making that within ImgBurn), make sure you save it in Unicode format and not Ansi. To do that, when you click the 'OK' button on the 'Create CUE File' window, just change the 'Save as type' drop down box to say 'CUE Files - Unicode'.

Oh ok, if you didn't burn it with ImgBurn then there's no point in showing me the log. Open ImgBurn, click the 'Write image file to disc' option, load your ISO in the 'Source' box, take a screenshot of the main window and then upload it so I can take a look please. If you don't see the word 'Bootable' in the 'File Sys' line in that same 'Source' box, it isn't bootable. In which case you'll have to mount it in a virtual drive program (or just extract it somewhere if you have WinRAR/7zip etc) and rebuild the ISO by following the 'Windows 7 OS installation disc' guide in the Guides forum.

Isn't the ISO already bootable? Post the log please, that'll tell us. You may just have to set the boot priority/order on your laptop so it knows to load from the DVD drive.

If it burnt and verified fine, there's nothing more we can help you with. Your playback device must have an issue with what you've burnt onto the disc or the disc itself.

Buy better discs and make sure they're write once and not rewritable. Infodisc are low quality discs.

I was referring to the topic title.

It isn't.

ESET has detected OpenCandy as a potentially unwanted program for ages. OpenCandy is just an advertising platform. If you don't opt out of the 3rd party program offers it can display during the installation of ImgBurn, you may end up with something you didn't want. There are loads of programs being offered by OpenCandy, some will undoubtedly be more 'unwanted' than others. In a perfect world, ESET etc. would just be blocking the bad 3rd party apps and leave the advertising platform (OpenCandy) alone. It's a bit like blocking all websites that use Google AdSense. There's nothing wrong with the validation email, your email client must have messed it up. You're obviously well aware of OpenCandy by now and know that the installer wizard will contain a screen or two offering you other programs. I'm sure you're capable of letting the current release download and just opt out of anything that doesn't interest you.

Pressing Enter invokes whatever the default button is - and that should be glowing blue or similar. As the program is basically prompting you because you failed to enter one properly in the program, I expect the cancel button is the default one so the volume label remains blank.

I doubt anything opencandy offers you is actually a virus, that would be bad for business and opencandy comes from a legit company. Some AV software may flag certain things, but AV software tries to catch so much more than 'real' viruses these days. Whilst browser toolbars etc can be annoying to some people, they aren't what I'd class as real virus. They'd be things that allow people to remotely hack into your machine, capture passwords, card details and basically everything you're typing to gain access to accounts etc. Maybe I'm just a bit old school like that. A 'potentially unwanted program' that's 'optional' (meaning you're in control of it being installed) isn't something that phases me. Opt out if you don't want it... Job done.

What sort of messages? (Semi) funny quotes from TV shows / films? If so, yes, it's normal. You can turn them off in the Settings on the 'General' tab if you so wish. "Don't Show Status Bar Messages"

I've just set the 'DoubleBuffered' property for the TListBox to true and it's much better now.
