LIGHTNING UK!

Thanks. It's just the first DI unit that has its 'DI' identifier/signature corrupt/missing then... you can see the one at offset 0x0074 is ok.

Maybe this will help you... http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=21970

The 'operating system' ones are read from the OS itself, they aren't technically ImgBurn options. Anyway, they're all still enabled so that's good. Sorry, I don't know why it isn't trying to read the burn disc properly. I don't have that problem here.

ODC probably.

Take a look at the 'Device' tab within ImgBurn's settings and just check the operating system options are all checked.

If it burns and verifies ok, there's nothing more ImgBurn can do. The quality of the burn comes down to the drive/firmware/media combo. If you're getting a spike them maybe clearing the drive's OPC history will help. You can access old logs via the 'Help' menu - and yes, posting one would be helpful (and a kprobe screenshot too).

Just for good measure, clear the drive's OPC history too.

If you opt out correctly, nothing should get installed. All of that stuff is handled by the OpenCandy platform.

Have you disabled autoinsert / autoplay / autorun on your machine? Does the OS make any attempt to 'play' the disc once you've reinserted it?

I can implement a workaround for you but ideally I'd like to capture the entire 'disc information' structure for that. Do you have Opti Drive Control or DVDInfoPro at all? If you have ODC, just put a disc in and bring up the 'Disc Info' bit. Right click the pane where the disc info is displayed and save it as an html file. Zip that up and upload it on here for me please. If you only have DVDInfoPro, I'll have to detail how to send the correct custom command. (so please let me know )

It really doesn't. Proper Audio CDs use CD-TEXT, some sort of database lookup (online or otherwise), or nothing. Players might be able to read MP3 style data discs and extract the metadata from the files, but that's not what we're talking about here.

Windows Media Player will query an online database to get Album info. Online album info and CD-TEXT are two very different things Very few CDs actually contain CD-TEXT. You can tell the ones that do because they'll have a CD-TEXT logo on them (on the disc itself probably, rather than the case). The logo can be found on the right of this page - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CD-TEXT

The only one I can't rule out (because I don't have it in mine) is pxhlpa64. The rest are fine.

Well at least you've something to go on now. What does your filter driver list look like (Tools menu)? Perhaps try installing some intel chipset device software updates, putting the controller into ahci mode and installing the Intel Rapid Storage Tech drive (assuming it supports your chipset). Something is obviously messing things up somewhere along the line

Yeah, it's the burnermax bit that doesn't work. If you want to go that route, buy the correct hardware.

Your drive can't overburn DVD+R DL discs properly. btw, the firmware on your drive is out of date - SB03 is the latest version. http://www.firmwarehq.com/Samsung/SH-S223F/files.html

Windows Media Player doesn't show CD-TEXT info unless you install the WMPCDText plugin. http://bmproductions.fixnum.org/moreprogs/wmpcdtext.htm That screenshot was from the burnt disc in 'Read' mode and not from the image file in 'Write' mode yeah? I just want to double check Don't forget, if you can find a disc in your collection that *does* show the Album Artist / Performer correctly in your car, please do what I mentioned in my previous post. I've no idea how you get a Disc ID, sorry. btw, there's a typo in the album name in the CUE - 'Variaous'.

Can you post the log please? As per the pink box up the top. At the moment it looks like your drive is having problems with the discs you're using.

I've already spoken to OpenCandy (several times) about the greyed out 'custom' button that some of the advertisers use and (as I understand it) they're in the process of offering us developers the chance to get rid of them (make it the 'normal' colour again). I'm not a big fish in OpenCandy's pond, but I do keep bringing it up with my contact there. All I know is that it's in progress and it'll (hopefully) be done when it's done. Where I've said things are against OpenCandy's policies, I'm pretty sure I'd have been talking about installing software without the user ever having seen any sort of prompt to opt-out of installing that software.

If you go into Read mode and click on the 'View Media Information' button in the Source box, does it list the correct Album Performer? If you can find a disc that shows the CD-TEXT album artist correctly on your player (in your car?), please read that disc to an image file using ImgBurn's 'Read' mode and then send me the *.cdt file it creates.

Please make sure you're actually verifying the disc as part of the burn. The 'writing' phase can appear to complete without error and the disc could still be unreadble. That's why verifying is important. As for the booktype stuff, it's already (automatically) being changed to DVD-ROM, so don't worry about it. Although your drive is branded as an LG, it's using a different chipset to all of their previous BD drive models. The usual LG booktype commands don't seem to be supported by these newer models.

It can't be firmware either, I've used the same drive as you and it works fine. There's no way 3 drives would return the same (identical) invalid data. They aren't even all the same chipset. Do the safe mode / other OS thing and get back to me please.

Does it burn and verify ok? If so, there's nothing more we can do. If it doesn't, post the log please so we can see what's what.

But aren't you having this issue with all of your BD discs? (Ignore DVDs, they're totally different) You've posted logs of BD-R, BD-RE now haven't you? They've all shown the same invalid bytes in the 'disc information' structure.

Ok, it really must be something else on your system then. Post a new log when you get round to trying it in safe mode. I'd even go so far as to boot into XP via Hiren's Boot CD or similar.
