LIGHTNING UK!

Your drive is having an issue with the 'MBIPG101-R12-00' discs you're using. Have a read of this - http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=8000

Technically, they don't get done in either of those orders. The order is also subject to verify actually being enabled or not - the code to eject / delete is before the code to start the verify operation... it's just skipped if verify is enabled.

It's not just the Verbatim recommendation (I assume you're referring to this thread? - http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=8000 ), it's the other things in there that you can 'try' too. If a drive fails to burn something, that's pretty much always its own problem. You can change one of the 3 things (drive/firmware/media) in the hope the next combo does a better job. Memorex are just the name stamped on the packaging / disc labels, the important bit is the Manufacturer ID (MID) and those ones are 'MBIPG101-R10-65'. Memorex can (and do) swap between selling different MIDs so you never know what you're getting.

I wouldn't necessarily burn MKM-003-00 at 2.4x, but that still doesn't mean it should fail at that speed. Other than what I mentioned in post #2, I have no other ideas. Your drive should be able to burn those discs but is failing to do so - considering all the discs it's wasting (not to mention your time), it's probably worth just paying out $20 - 30 for a new one!

If it burnt and verified ok, there's nothing more for us to help with really. Did it? Perhaps you could post a log so we can see how the burn went? (as per the pink box up the top )

Try the newer firmware update and see if it add/improves support for the 'CMCMAG-DI6-000' discs you're using. http://www.firmwarehq.com/LG/BH10NS30/files.html As yours is a Buffalo version of LG's BH10NS30, you may need to 'crossflash' the drive using Devilclaw's flasher program. If you want to do that (it's certainly worth a try), ask the nice people in the LG forum over the MyCE forums for help - http://club.myce.com/f91/ The HyperTuning option you tried to access is a feature only found on LiteOn drives, yours is an LG - hence why it failed to work. Oh and you know you're burning next to nothing there yeah? Don't waste a 50GB disc on 2MB of data!

Your DVD burner is ancient and only supports DVD+ format media... so make sure you haven't purchased DVD- (minus) format discs. If the write button isn't enabled, it's probably for a good reason. That reason is normally written in the statusbar at the bottom of the main window.

VLC may just not support (my version of?) Flac files in a CUE file. If the flac files work, the CUE will work

If your drive is reading / verifying slower than it should do, you should remove SPTD from your system (it's normally installed by the likes of DAEMON Tools). If it isn't, you haven't noticed it or you just don't care if it is, leave it be This is the guide you should be following for burning a Blu-ray video disc. http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=9512 Basically, if you don't have an image file (i.e. an ISO file - where you'd use 'Write' mode / the 'Write image file to disc' option to burn it to a disc), you use 'Build' mode ('Write files/folders to disc' or 'Create image file from files/folders').

Ok so here’s what you do... Download madFlac 1.10 from http://madshi.net/madFlac.rar Extract the rar (using something like WinRAR from http://www.rarsoft.com ) to ‘C:\Program Files\madFlac’ (or ‘C:\Program Files (x86)\madFlac’ if you’re using a 64 bit operating system). Now navigate to that folder in Explorer and locate the ‘madFlac.ax’ file. Select it and drag+drop it onto the ‘InstallFilter.exe’ file. You should get a message come up (possibly after a UAC prompt you have to click ‘Yes’ to) saying: “The DirectShow filter "C:\Program Files\madFlac\madFlac.ax" was registered successfully.” Now try loading your Flac files into ImgBurn’s ‘Create CUE File’ window again.

Can you post the log please - as per the pink box up the top

During the burn you mean? It already does that.

It is/does. At one point (version) or another, ImgBurn stopped saving what it was set to when it was closed down. If you happened to have it set to 4 at that time, that's where it will have stayed. Set copies to 1, enable the option to remember the number of copies, close and reopen the program, then tell it not to remember the number of copies again. Or just close the program, locate the correct registry entry (possibly more than 1) and edit it (them) directly in there.

Without knowing more details, it's hard to give you a precise answer. It doesn't normally show that prompt without a good reason though. Please copy + paste all of the disc info from the box on the right. You are using DVD+R DL discs and not DVD-R DL ones yeah? If so, mount the image in a virtual drive program (Virtual CloneDrive etc) and build a new one by pointing 'Build' mode at the virtual drive. Or you could extract the contents of the ISO to a folder on your hdd with something like WinRAR / 7zip and build a new one from that folder.

It must be something you're doing differently because the OS plays no part in it. (Well, ok, it does tell the program the size of the files in question) Maybe the files you're adding within Windows 8 have a much higher bitrate and therefore are much larger in size?

They don't get messed up, it's impossible as nothing gets remembered between calculations. If Calculate fails, it won't ever get to the stage where the disc starts burning - because the exact same code is run again for the real burn (and of course it would fail again). I don't know what you actually did, but it's not what you've shown in that video or what you're telling me you did. Show me the log of the 'coaster' so I can see what happened please. You can access old logs via the Help menu.

Because it ends the 'calculate' operation - notice the log says 'Operation Failed!'. It's not going to calculate the size of the resulting image (or disc) if it can't physically create it in the first place due to an error in what you're trying to do. Calculate it not meant to be used as a running total for how much you're burning to the disc - that's why 'Auto' is disabled by default. If you want a more complex view of what you're burning (as that's not the idea behind 'Standard' input mode), switch to 'Advanced' input mode instead.

I've already explained all this in my previous response.

From the bit of video contained in that part001 of the rar file I can see what's causing Windows 8 not to show any files... it's because you've clicked the 'Browse for a folder' button and not the 'Browse for a file' one. So it's waiting for you to select a folder, not files. The two dialog boxes look the same, but they have different purposes. Microsoft don't offer a standard dialog box that lets you add file AND folders at the same time. Build metrics aren't 'lost' when you add a duplicate file, they just aren't shown because the 'auto calculate' dummy build was unsuccessful. If you've got the 'Output' set to 'Device', it'll base its size calculations around the size of the disc currently in the drive (that's when the text will go red if you go over it). If there's no disc in the drive (Or 'Output' is set to 'Image File'), it'll just keep letting you add stuff and the 'Min. Req. Media' will keep changing (from CD to DVD to BD etc).

If it just stops, it means I/O on your machine has just stopped. ImgBurn will only be waiting for a response. What controller is your drive attached to? Right click the drive selection box and select 'Family Tree'. Close the prompt and then copy + paste everything from the Log window pelase.

Network shares/devices often like the OS's buffering to be enabled. You do that on the 'I/O' tab in the settings. That said, reading and writing to the same physical device is always going to be slower than reading and writing to different ones.

Going by the sheer number of failures, on multiple MIDs and with multiple programs, I'd have to assume your drive is dirty or broken. Your log shows you burning a couple of MIDs that are in the firmware with supported speeds of 4x, 8x for one and 4x, 8x, 12x, 16x for the other, yet your drive is only showing 4x as the supported speed for both. That's certainly not the sign of a drive working properly. I 13:37:42 Destination Media Type: DVD-R (Disc ID: CMC MAG. AM3) I 13:37:42 Destination Media Supported Write Speeds: 4x I 13:49:17 Destination Media Type: DVD-R (Disc ID: MCC 02RG20) I 13:49:17 Destination Media Supported Write Speeds: 4x

You're lucky to have any sort of access to the drives when using XP and logged on as a restricted user... normally you don't. This is covered in the FAQ. http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=59entry969 btw, your version of ImgBurn is out of date.

You may have had more luck with the 'MBIPG101-R10-65' disc if you didn't burn it at Max (8x) speed Yes, it's worth trying the 8x Verbatim discs. Even if it turns out your drive has had it, you can still use the rest of them with whatever drive you buy next.

If your drive can't physically burn to discs (i.e. it's a plain old reader and not a writer), ImgBurn isn't going to change that.
