LIGHTNING UK!

So it's crashing when you close it? Can you bring up the details of the crash, it may give us more info.

That log has tons of miscompare errors. I wouldn't trust any disc that didn't pass verify cleanly. After that, you're looking at generic playback issues between the standalone player and the media you're using or a fault with the original Image file.

Do you really get enough bsod for it to even be a problem?! Is swapping the cables an option or are you using 2 different connection types on your card?

They don't run at full speed all the time, the ramp themselves up - or at least my NVidia (GTX 560 Ti) one does. With 2 displays connected, mine always ran in 3D mode (GPU core clock at full speed). The GPU Core clock speed on my card is 50Mhz at its slowest, then 405Mhz, then 950Mhz in 3D mode. It adjusts automatically depending on how I'm using my machine. 95% of the time it's probably switching between the lower 2 speeds. Running at full speed is just a waste. I use a 'WD TV Live Streaming' box for playing stuff now.

Does your TV also get the computer's bios boot screen shown on it and not the monitor? If so, you'd have to physically swap the cables round on the card... and of course that would only be possible if you're using 2 of the same ports (2 x DVI or whatever). I was glad when I stopped using dual screens, my card would never throttle itself back properly with the 2nd one connected so it was wasting electricity (the TV was almost always off) and throwing out loads of extra heat for no reason (meaning the fans were running faster).

You shouldn't have to touch the 'write type', it defaults to dao/sao anyway. The log will confirm that - please post one of you burning and verifying a disc.

It can't be with the hardware you've got (you'd need a drive capable of doing quality checks on BD media - i.e. a LiteOn BD drive). You'd need to run tests on the disc that work and don't work, comparing the quality of each one.

You may find it's nothing to do any windows configuration you've made regarding primary/secondary monitors and is just down to the ports the displays are plugged into on the card.

Sorry, I don't, no.

You need to convert them to a proper AVCHD format/structure using something like MultiAVCHD. Then burn the output from that program by following the BD Video guide in the Guides forum. You can do that via an image or direct to disc without an image.

After a 5 second Google search... does this help? http://www.wikihow.com/Uninstall-Tuneup-Utilities-2013

Can you switch to 'Read' mode and do the same please. (sorry!) You might be able to get away with right clicking the drive selection drop down box and selecting close track / session / disc (in that order). Ignore ones that error out and then post the updated disc info when you've done all that.

I guess you still haven't worked out how to use the search facility. Using the keyword 'xbc', it took me all of 3 seconds to find the post you're talking about.

Yes, do a full erase on the disc before trying again.

Load ImgBurn and switch to 'Write' mode ('Write image file to disc'). Put one of the unfinalised discs in the drive, wait until the drive / program has finished initialising it and then tell me what's written in the disc info box on the right (you can copy + paste all of the text). If that box is basically empty (just a line or 2), tell me what's written in the status bar at the bottom of the main window. ImgBurn's download page has 7 or so 'mirror' sites listed at the top. You can download the 'SetupImgBurn_2.5.8.0.exe' file from any one of those.

I very much doubt the 'over-burn' they mention is related to extending the capacity of DVD+R DL media.

Verify your burns, it'll pick up on problems like this. Try not to use rewritable disc, they aren't as reliable as write once media... plus yours are RITEK discs and they aren't good to start with.

Is it possible that the files on the hdd may have changed in the time between you starting the backup and it finishing? All I'd suggest is making an image file and burning that, rather than burning the files on the fly. The content of the image file won't change so verification will be more accurate. You should also try burning at 8x, it'll give you a better quality burn.

This could depend on the media being used. For DVD+RW/BD-RE media, the quick erase just makes ImgBurn write zeros to the first few hundred sectors. That just wipes out the file system. You could read the remaining sectors and still access the data, but without the file system, you have no fool proof way of knowing where files start/end (or their names etc). For everything else, the quick erase wipes out the TOC. This is a drive function. You won't be able to read anything on the disc because the drive will see it as being empty and the read commands will simply fail. No idea about TOC recovery... I doubt it though.

If the program says there's no medium present in the status bar when you've got a disc in the drive, that's what the drive is telling it. The problem therefore lies between your drive and the media.

That's because it isn't digitally signed. I don't own a certificate. If there's no obvious 'no' on the offer screens you're shown, selecting the 'custom' option will no doubt give you more options - including one that allows you to say 'no'.

Click the 'change advanced setting' button down by where you set the write speed. Switch to the LiteOn tab, select the 'clear opc history' option in the 'change for' drop down, select 'clear' in the 'new setting' drop down and then click the 'change' button.

Burn at 4x instead of 8x. If that still doesn't work, clear the drive's OPC history and try again.

Post the complete log please.

That advice might be true if you'd just left them burning at max speed, but you haven't. 2x obviously isn't working very well, so now is the time to try the remaining supported speeds / other discs / cleaning the drive / a different drive.
