LIGHTNING UK!

The 'express' thing is nothing to do with ImgBurn itself. The heading of that particular installer wizard screen would have said it was offering you a totally different product and that's what you were choosing to install via the 'express' method or 'custom' method. I'm sorry you didn't read the screen properly and ended up installing something you didn't want.

Unless I'm being blind, that video doesn't show me any sort of problem. I'd expect the box to be empty (and disabled) when the program is searching for devices.

Chances are, you just burnt a single video file yeah? ImgBurn doesn't convert anything - so you've just ended up putting that single file on a disc 'as-is'. If you want to burn a DVD Video disc then you'll have to convert that video file into the proper format (and folder structure) using something like DVDFlick or ConvertXtoDVD. Then you can burn the VIDEO_TS folder they output using one of the DVD Video guides from the Guides section.

It's normal for a drive to error out when you're trying to burn beyond the reported capacity of the disc, yes. Your initial log showed the drive reporting the discs as having a larger capacity though. Good... Bad...

If you're getting an error with Verbatim DVD+R DL discs, please post the log.

Having just tried it, I can see it moans about something to do with VirtualProtectEx. That's called by a 'MkObjInstLeakFix.pas' file I'm using to fix another issue (a memory leak). http://cc.embarcadero.com/item/25104 If I remove that MkObjInstLeakFix.pas from the project, it closes nicely. I have no idea what EMET's problem is with that Delphi code.

Yes and no.... 1x DVD is different to 1x BD. (~1.3MiB/s vs ~4MiB/s) Look at the actual KiB/s though, they should be approx the same if using the same source/dest devices and approx the same files/file sizes.

No, it's related to your external USB one. Go into Device Manager, expand the 'Universal Serial Bus Controllers' branch, right click the 'Renesas Electronics USB 3.0 Host Controller' item and click 'Properties'. Now change to the 'Driver' tab and tell me what's listed for 'Driver Version' please. I only ask because I have that controller and it doesn't have a problem reporting the usb bus speed of the device (i.e. no error gets displayed in the log). My driver version is 2.1.39.0.

It's probably something USB driver related. If you know which controller it's attached to, maybe you could find a driver update for it? Go into write mode and select your external blu-ray drive in the drop down list. Then right click that list and click 'Family Tree'. Close the prompt that comes up and then copy + paste everything from the Log window please. The error itself isn't important and it doesn't stop anything from working properly - so basically, you can just ignore it anyway.

Wrong discs, you want DVD+R DL, not DVD-R DL.

The bug report suggests the you were closing the application down. If you didn't do that manually then you must have clicked the 'Close' checkbox... which then meant the program would shut itself down once the burn/verify was complete. I've never seen this problem myself, but I've seen other bug reports about it. Something odd happens as the program is being closed, it looks like a control is being deleted twice - but that isn't something I do in my code as it's handled by my development environment. So basically, I can't do anything about it. As for the Verify 'Miscompare' issue... sector 0 on the disc is supposed to be empty (all zeros), so I'm not sure why your drive is returning a non-zeroed sector. Have you disabled the option to cycle the tray between write and verify operations? If once the verify op has failed due to that miscompare you switch to 'Read' mode and bring up the 'Sector Viewer', take a look and see if the drive is still returning a non-zeroed first sector. If it is, eject the disc, reinsert it and then read the sector again.

OpenCandy is not the devil, it's an advertising platform. If you don't want what it's offering, just opt out.

Glad to hear it

Post the logs from the failed Verbatim burns please.

You haven't actually asked a question. If you have a problem reading the disc in one drive and not the other, the disc is probably damaged and/or the drive that works must be a better reader.

I'm only seeing a failed attempt on some 'CMC MAG-D03-64' DVD+R DL discs there. As such, read this... http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=8000

By default, ImgBurn locks the tray during the burn. It shouldn't therefore be possible for this to even happen. How are you managing it?!

Sub would be subchannel - which would require 'raw' mode... and ImgBurn doesn't do that. That's a weird combination of files really, which program made them in the first place?

As a brand, no... but they're still using cheap / low quality dyes on their DVD+R DL discs. People have far more success with Verbatim's MKM-003-00 DVD+R DL discs.

Your drive doesn't like the disc you're using, that's why it's erroring out. Have you tried the other 'supported' write speeds as per that thread I linked you to? There's nothing to say the drive will produce the best quality burns on that MID with the write speed set to 2.4x... 4x might be better. It doesn't matter what your playback device likes or doesn't like if the burner doesn't do a good job of burning the disc in the first place. You'll get a better quality burnt disc if you use better quality blanks... i.e. Verbatim discs with MKM-001-00 or MKM-003-00 MID.

As per the pink box up the top... http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=8000

Please don't hijack threads, make a new one for yourself.

It doesn't touch the region code. They're a physical thing on commercial discs (don't apply to burnt ones) or are part of the VIDEO_TS.IFO file. If it's region free, it'll play on everything. All you'd need to worry about is NTSC/PAL.

Sorry, I can't help you with that. You'll just have to try and find some non 'value range' Verbatim ones. Perhaps with the 'Azo' logo on them?

You've got the wrong Verbatim discs. Get the decent 'MKM-003-00' ones, not 'MBIPG101-R10-65'.
