LIGHTNING UK!

No, ImgBurn can't edit disc images. Best you can do is mount it in a virtual drive and build a new one using the virtual drive as the source. I don't think the volume dates stick, so no, it's not possible to have it set on one fixed date. It just defaults to the current date/time unless you specifically change it. You could load a blank project with it configured how you want it though.

If you've got UAC enabled, running regsvr32 from start->run probably wouldn't do anything. Did it actually say the file had been registered successfully? Try running it from an elevated command prompt instead.

All I ask is that you don't bother me with stuff that makes no sense.

Yeah this is definitely a case of the drive locking its speed to 1x. It must be part of the 'Silent Play' feature - but I still don't know why it's enabling itself in 1 version and not the other - or perhaps disabling itself in 1 and not the other. 'Silent Play' is all automatic and I have no idea how or when it works, nor how to disable it. For each version, ImgBurn is querying the current speed, then setting the user's requested speed, then checking the current speed again. The values in bold are the current start/end read speeds (for the 'GET PERFORMANCE' command) and the requested speed (where FF FF FF FF = MAX) for the 'SET STREAMING' command. As you can see, there's absolutely no difference between 2.5.6.0 and 2.5.7.0 with respect to those commands, the drive is just behaving differently and reporting different values.

Do you have a screenshot of a kprobe scan of such a disc? Just because the burner can read them, it doesn't mean the xbox drive will be able to. Some drives are just better with some discs than others.

I wouldn't ignore it and I wouldn't trust that disc without additional testing. It could have just been a bad disc. Burn that image a 2nd time and worry about it if it happens again.

Seriously, in what world does what you've just written make any sense?! Try actually reading your posts through before you post them. If I keep just reading nonsense from you, I'll ignore everything you say. I told you before why you can't just list things like that. It's because they'd be script variables and nothing at all to do with ImgBurn. How do you expect it to know about random variables you've configured in a script? That's why you pass arguments / parameters as part of the command line. /me shakes head in disbelief Post # 7 answered post # 6. /me shakes head in disbelief again

The YG01 firmware may not support the MID (CMCMAG-BA5-000) of the discs you're using now. Personally, I'd crossflash that to a GGW-H20L YG07 and hope that it does a better job. (Actually, I can tell you right now that even YG07 doesn't support that MID) http://club.myce.com/f61/lg-blu-ray-crossflash-ggw-h20l-gbw-h20l-be06lu10-be06lu11-260811/#post2187432

Yeah, I can't explain it (yet) but that's what I'm seeing from your I/O log. The program is doing nothing wrong. Maybe you could get a similar log from 2.5.6.0 - obviously it'll need to be from when it does actually read faster.

Do you have any non DVD Video discs? I can see from the log that although I'm asking the drive to read at 'max' speed, it's only ever reporting 1x as the current read speed. It's as if it's locking itself to 1x?! Lots of drives do that when DVD Video discs are present as it minimises noise - which is obviously better for when you're watching a film.

Every dos/command line tool has arguments / parameters like these. If you'd ever done anything with batch files or DOS in general, you'd know that. Why batch and not vbs... well because it's a total waste of time and energy. Don't complicate things just for the sake of it.

Yes, you can use it where you like. Of course if you'd like to make a donation, I'm fine with that too

Media player as in the likes of a WDTV box? That's comparing apples and oranges at the moment. If they make dvd/bd players more like media players and not just basic disc players, yeah that could be possible one day. Some may even already support playing bd structures from other storage mediums (i.e. not a blu-ray disc). On those players, yeah it could work - but it's certainly not allowed on a normal BD Video specs compliant BD player. They only ever look for the VIDEO_TS folder on DVD Video discs and the (BDAV) BDMV folder on BD Video discs.

You enabled debug mode too late. I need to see what the drive does when the read operation starts. Please enable it AND THEN click the 'Read' button.

So you only get 1x on the GH24NS95 too? I hope that's the case because I ordered one of those earlier today. These drives are LG's latest and use the MediaTek chipset rather than whatever they used before (can't remember off the top of my head). It's only the same chipsets as found in various liteon drives though and they all work fine. The only other bit of testing you could do is go back to 2.5.7.0, enable I/O debug mode by pressing the F8 key and then start the read operation. You can cancel it once it's been going for a few seconds, press F8 again to disable I/O debug mode and then save the contents of the log window to a file. Then just upload that file here on the forum so I can take a look at what the drive thinks it's doing.

It's failing at 49% because that's the outer edge of the disc (just before the layer break) and is where the the extra available disc space is meant to be coming from. It has nothing to do with the layer break options in the program, just that the drive is being told to use more of the disc than it was designed for - and it's failing. Like I said, the tool claiming it has made the disc look bigger and the drive actually using that extra space are 2 different things. If you want to be able to use it properly / fully, buy an iHAS drive. If you don't need to burn an oversized image, don't make your blank look oversized (i.e. don't use the tool). That way the drive will work as well as it has always done.

Yes, you told me that you're a master with batch files.... but then you go asking really simple stuff like this which makes me think you're exaggerating your skill level slightly. No, there's no order to the commands. Use what's logical, that's all I do - and what I did when writing the ReadMe. You need to use as many commands as it takes to achieve your goal. I have no idea how many that would be (or which ones)!

You need to tell Explorer to show file extensions. Press the 'Alt' key on your keyboard, click the 'Tools' menu and select 'Folder options....'. Switch to the 'View' tab and then uncheck the 'Hide extensions for known file types' box. Click OK.

Try using your words. If I ask you what you don't understand in 2 lines of text and you reply with those same 2 lines - but with certain words in bold - any normal human being would expect those to be the ones you're having trouble with. So what's the problem now? What's your primary/first language? English? Mine is English, so if yours is English too, we really shouldn't be having trouble communicating with each other.

A batch file is just a plain text file with a .bat file extension, there's nothing special about it. You simply copy + paste the command I provided in that other thread into such a file and then double click the file. It's as easy as that.

You use it how I showed you and the other person the other day. The things you see in that file are command line parameters. If you don't know what command line parameters are, you can't have ever used the command prompt (or DOS). To be fair, you're young and so that stuff predates you. Programs that support command line parameters are first called (run) by typing that program's name. You can then instruct the program to do extra stuff by passing it some additional arguments / parameters. So you might run the following from the command prompt... dir That'll give you a directory listing. You could make it show all files (inc hidden ones) by running dir /a where the '/a' argument / parameter makes it show all files. You can normally type [name of program] /? to get a list of arguments / parameters the program supports. So just as I showed you / the other person the other day, you run... ImgBurn /MODE WRITE and it'll start up in Write mode. Just keep adding extra parameters (a space between each one) until it does what you want it to do.

Right well the vendor is the person that makes the drive. 'Vendor specific' is a generic term taken from the command spec documents (the MMC documents I've mentioned to you before). You get the standard set of commands that drives support (like for basic reading and writing etc) and then you have a few special 'vendor' ones that allow you to do special stuff with that specific drive (or range of drives). 'Realtime' means 'at that instant'. So giving you my local weather in realtime, the sun is out and there isn't a cloud in the sky. 'capacity parameters' - this is simply the size (number of sectors) of a normal disc - i.e. a new/normal DVD+R DL disc has 4,173,824 sectors available on it.

What about those 2 lines do you not understand?

Nope, sorry. If c4eva / TX want you to know about how it works, they'll post it themselves. The readme tells you enough though.
