LIGHTNING UK!

Well, that depends on what type of disc it is As it's only a rewritable (and assuming you still have a copy of the ISO safe somewhere), try it and see.

ImgBurn is an optical disc burning program. A proper hdd program would be something like Acronis True Image, Macrium Reflect, Norton Ghost etc. They're hdd backup / cloning tools. I'm sure there must be a way to get vmware to use an image (sector by sector copy) of a hdd. It's not something I've ever had to do, but I'm sure someone will have done and a method for doing so will be available via a Google search.

Sorry, you can't do that with ImgBurn. It doesn't do multisession. You could extract the contents of the ISO to your hdd somewhere, add the folder you want to add and then burn the new compilation.

I've had them with the little higher error rate section at the start like that, but yours seem to be a bit rough around the outer edge of the disc (the layer break point and where it does the 'overburning'). It does vary from spindle to spindle (I usually buy from a few different places). All of this stuff (burn quality etc) is at a level beyond where software has any control or say in the matter, but you might want to go for another clear of the opc history before trying your next one. I've also seen flashing back to the standard firmware (resets something in the eeprom I think) and then putting the modified one back on again can help. Just don't forget to then double check the drive/eeprom hypertuning etc options again before making yet another burn

You can't use ImgBurn to take (or build) an image of your Win 98 machine's hard drive so it can be used as a bootable ISO, things don't work like that. I know you can give vmware access to physical hardware but that might not be ideal (unless you don't mind moving the old 98 hdd into your new pc). Is there no way you could just install the Win 98 OS from scratch in a new VM and configure it the same as your old physical machine? If that's too much hassle, take a complete image of the old 98 hdd (using a proper hdd tool) and then see about converting that into VMWare format.

Can you post the ImgBurn log and the kprobe graph itself please. Those values still look a little high to me. Different spindles can produce different results though and even that place that makes the discs can make a difference. The ones from Singapore seem to be the best.

Sorry, I can't help your drive making a bad burn. You might be able to work around the issue by changing a couple of settings (write type, perform opc before write etc) but the drive burns, not the software. I can't make it do a better job than it wants to.

Try the firmware update and avoid the cheaper LTH media in future if possible. http://www.firmwarehq.com/LG/WH10LS30/files.html

It wouldn't be cdrom.sys itself causing the problem (even if that appears to have fixed it), it'll be the controller you've attached the drive to and its driver. Your drive should be on the intel controller, not the jmicron one.

What have you tried so far? VOB files aren't really files you should be playing back without the IFO files etc. They're what tells the player what to expect to find in them.

Update the firmware on your drive and try again. http://www.firmwarehq.com/Lite-On/DH16A6L-C/files.html If it still fails, perhaps try cleaning the drive with a cleaning disc and buying some better media.

Update ImgBurn. Update the firmware on your drive. http://www.firmwarehq.com/Lite-On/iHAS424%2BA/files.html Try burning at 8x. If it still doesn't work, buy better discs - Verbatim or Taiyo Yuden.

Ok so your drive is failing to produce a decent burn on those 'CMC MAG-M01-00' discs at 8x. Try again at 4x. Try cleaning the drive with a cleaning disc. Try again with better discs (Verbatim or Taiyo Yuden), btw, you should install the latest release of ImgBurn

Nope, it's nothing to do with any setting. Burning is done by the drive itself, software just provides it with data. So if the drive doesn't want to burn a disc, there's nothing you or I can do about it. My recommendation would be to buy both. As per the thread below: http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=8000

Oh well, they don't work now.

Yes but were your previous Sony discs also using the 'MBIPG101-R10-65' MID/dye? The fact there are no 'supported write speeds' listed is a good indication that the drive's firmware simply doesn't support the media.

It doesn't look lilke your drive supports the 'MBIPG101-R10-65' discs.

Mine worked best with OPC off, Force HyperTuning on, Online HyperTuning off, Overspeed off, SmartBurn on and burning at 4x. Once you've configure the program/drive like that, clear opc history (in the same place as the hypertuning options) and then burn again. Post a new with that configuration. The bogus driver error probably means you've got the drive installed on a bad controller. Stick to using the proper Intel one if you have such a thing on your motherboard.

Try using MultiAVCHD to make your AVCHD folder structure from the original mkv files. I believe there's an option to have it output the structure required for PS3 playback. Then burn the disc again using ImgBurn. Your issues aren't anything to do with ImgBurn (or burning in general) so you might be better off on a more generic forum such as Doom9 or VideoHelp. People on those will be able to deal with your conversion/playback issue better than I can here.

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

That's a normal Blu-ray video (or AVCHD) folder structure. Just follow the Blu-ray Video guide in the Guides forum. http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=9512

Not that I know of. and this is nothing to do with ImgBurn.

It's a drive setting and is in the 'Advanced Settings' screen - which you access via one of the three little button/icons down the bottom right of the main 'Write' mode screen - or you can use the eeprom tool. The default overburn setting doesn't apply here. Just leave it alone.

Nope.

Your log doesn't show the error. Try burning at 4x and turn 'Online Hypertuning' off. They're what got me decent burns when I was testing things out ages ago.
