LIGHTNING UK!

Anything that tries to access the drive you're burning from could cause the issue. Mechanical drives aren't good at doing 2 things at once.

Being a good player and being able to read burnt discs are two different things. It's impossible to say if you're getting decent quality burns from your LG drive without testing them in a drive that can scan BD media (i.e. a LiteOn one). If the disc plays ok on your PC, I'd assume there's nothing (much, anyway) wrong with the files you're burning and it must just be the players are having trouble reading the disc. You can access saved logs via the help menu but BD Rebuilder may be saving them elsewhere and therefore the program wouldn't also be writing to its usual log. The size of what you're burning must be something to do with BD Rebuilder or the source files you're working from. You're right though, you're only using just over half of the disc.

There's a "verify" checkbox right under where you select the drive you're burning to. As for verifying at a later date.... Go into Verify mode when you first open the program.

You can't, it always burns a full disc.

You probably have a special version of the drive and it won't accept the normal firmware. Did it come preinstalled in a PC you bought? If so, you'd need to get the firmware direct from whoever built your PC. EDIT: Ah yes, it's a Dell laptop. You'd need Dell firmware but you're already running their latest released version. There's a chance you could crossflash it, ask over at the MyCE / CDFreaks forums. Either way, the drive isn't that old and should have no problem with MKM-003-00 media.

Your drive doesn't appear to like something about those discs. That could either be down to the spindle of discs you're using or your drive in general. So get another ('Made in Singapore') spindle of MKM-003-00 and try those. If they still fail, try cleaning your drive with a cleaning disc and try again. If it still fails, buy another drive.

Have you tried at 4x? You could also try enabling the 'perform opc before write' option.

Put ImgBurn into verify mode, turn off the 'verify against image file option' and then verify it again. Theres no possible way to make a drive read a disc that slowly so I can only assume there was something else interfering with the process - like some other software accessing the drive / disc at the same time. Once you know the sort of speed it's going to verify at (0.1x or 'normal'), you can abort it.

No, that's not normal. Please copy and paste everything from the log window so I can see the burn process and how far it's got with the verify one.

Yes, there's a whole 'pinned' thread dedicated to it at the top of this forum. http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=8000

The default program settings work just fine (so reset yours) and the program tells you which drive ones you should be using - turn 'Online HT' off again. Don't waste your time by using Safe Mode. If you have to resort to using that, there's an issue with your system.

1. No, leave it on Auto 2. Yes, it's fine... so leave it on DAO/SAO 3. No, leave it on Auto 4. If you have a player that won't play BD Video (AVCHD) from DVDs with the booktype set to DVD-ROM, you'd have to enable the 'Use Normal for BD Video' option. If you're burning to BD discs, that option doesn't apply.

They aren't the decent Verbatim discs. http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=8000

Simple answer, no.

Why are you using such an old version?!

AWS doesn't mean anything unless you actually configure the AWS feature. If you don't touch it, the program defaults to telling the drive to burn at max speed.

If you put a disc in the drive and switch ImgBurn into 'Write' mode, the disc info text in the box on the right will list the 'MID' (Manufacturer ID). The brand name stamped on the disc doesn't mean anything, it's the MID that's important.

When the drive can't read back what it just wrote like that, it's due to a bad drive/firmware/media combo. Your firmware could be updated to the newer 1.65 but even that is still over 5 years old now. http://www.firmwarehq.com/Sony/DRU-190A/files.html After that you can take your pick of trying a new drive or trying different media. As you've already used different discs and they're unplayable in your standalone, maybe your drive has just had it? There's a lot to be said for using decent discs though and 'CMC' discs aren't usually any good. Which 'write once' discs do you have? What's the 'MID' of them?

Hmm weird, it clearly thinks it's burning at 16x (the 'effective' line in the log) and yet sits quite happily at 6x for the entire burn. I was half expecting to see the speed ramp up and then drop down or something. Maybe try burning at 8x or 12x and see if it actually does what it's told.

Post the log please.

There's a big difference between an original and a burnt disc. If it's not that it has trouble reading burnt discs in general, maybe it's just the ones your burner is producing. What drive do you have? I assume you verify your burns? If not, start doing so. If you have a log of such a burn/verify process, please post it so I can just see what you're working with.

Assuming it's not an issue with the files you've burnt, I guess your player is having trouble reading the disc.

Can you post a log please and also a graph data file from such a burn.

I wouldn't recommend leaving it on that though.

Well there's nothing odd about that disc so I can only assume your Panasonic just doesn't like discs burnt how your drives are burning them when ImgBurn is being used. I'm sure that if you read your poweriso burnt disc to an image and compared it to the ImgBurn image that they'd be identical. There's very little scope for changing the way discs are burnt (you follow a fixed command set) but you could just try changing the write type to 'incremental' in the settings on the 'write' tab. Set the write speed to 8x and perhaps try a disc with 'perform opc before write' enabled/disabled. If possible, try your ImgBurn burnt discs in other players. Even a games console will do. Your Panasonic should not be having the problems it's having.
