LIGHTNING UK!

Your discs is probably dirty/scratched/faulty. Either way, your drive can't read it. A different drive may have more luck. You could also try adjusting the 'Read Speed' down to 10x or something.

Try cleaning your drive with a cleaning disc, investing in some Tayio Yuden CDs or buying yourself a new burner. The current one is having trouble producing a decent burn on the discs you're using.

I need to see the log from the burn that errored out.

Return the I/O buffer to a smaller size.

Post the actual log please - as per the pink box up the top.

Please post the log so we can see what you actually did. If you're burning a Blu-ray video disc, you should just be pointing ImgBurn at the BDMV folder - as per the guide in the Guides forum.

Post the log of you burning and verifying the disc.

It must have a weird filter driver installed or something similar and it's making out that the commands I'm issuing to burn the disc are completing successfully when they aren't. It's out of my hands I'm afraid.

2 of your 3 conclusions are wrong. It doesn't care what's written to the disc, it's reading at sector level and not file level - so the contents don't even come into it. What it stops you from doing is reading a multiple track / session DVD or BD disc to an image file because there's no way to faithfully reproduce the exact same disc layout. I think if you were able to see the return codes from the drive as it's 'getting media status', you'd see the drive is having trouble reading the disc. Switch to read mode and get your unreadable disc ready. Press F8 to enable I/O debug mode and then insert the bad DVD+RW disc. It should log lots more stuff - save the log to a file (using file -> save as in the log window) and upload it so I can examine it.

If it's stuck with the 'getting media status' message in the status bar, your drive must be having trouble reading the disc. Try ejecting it, cleaning it and then giving it another go. It doesn't look like you've even got to the stage where you can start the actual read operation going.

The log would help, as would the disc info from the box on the right when you're in Read mode.

You do know you can't burn the individual split parts to different discs yeah? Only the first one will appear to work - and once anything tries to read a file beyond its physical end (but not logical end), it'll fail.

Like I said, if it burns and verifies ok, the rest nothing to do with ImgBurn. I don't know why your system would need a reboot to see what's on the disc. Have you disabled 'Auto Insert' notification at OS level or anything?

If the uncompressed one works fine, the nvinit file must have an issue with upx compressed programs. It's nothing to do with ImgBurn itself.

Google for 'imgburn nvinit' and I'm sure you'll find a few things you can try - even 'nvinit crash' gives quite a few results. I do not know why that module of the nvidia driver crashes for you, it just does. I have an nvidia card too (and obviously the drivers are installed for it) and I've never run into that problem. If you fancy trying an uncompressed ImgBurn.exe (this was a remark posted in a thread I just saw), you can get it from http://download.imgburn.com/SetupImgBurn_2.5.8.0_NoUPX.exe

Post the log please.

Like I said, if they don't work, you're out of luck. The xbox doesn't care about the booktype anyway so I wouldn't let that worry you. It was only ever an issue for old DVD players.

You're right, it can't burn to Blu-ray discs, only read them.

As the drive is reporting a communication parity error, I'd guess it might be related to the cable / port or something.

If none of the booktype setting commands work for your model, you're out of luck.

No, nothing in 2.5.8.0 would make your drive decide to burn at a slower speed. It's doing that by itself. The CD speed issue is covered here - http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=21692

Are you sure it doesn't do it by default anyway?

Unless you're doing it as a one time only thing, you can't. Whatever you 'send to' ImgBurn would load up in a new instance. Use the drop box or Advanced input mode instead.
