LIGHTNING UK!

Well the only thing you can really try is clearing the OPC history from the drive.... but I'm not so sure it'll make any difference as you don't have a single (progressive) problem area (i.e. the overburnt bit at the layer break). It's just bad here and there on the second layer. I wouldn't worry too much about the odd PIF spike, especially if it's under 10.

Overburning onto RITEK-S04-66 at 8x speed? You're brave! Try at a more civilised speed of 4x.

That's no so bad. Maybe your next spindle of discs will be better?

The graph is better than the text file

The white line looks pretty solid to me. As such, where the device buffer is concerned, you have nothing to worry about. Oh and please don't edit posts above where people (me in this case) have replied. Such changes are not obvious and I don't go looking for them.

Correct

I very much doubt that's a problem or causing 'bad results'. Please upload your IBG file (or open it yourself with DVDInfoPro and post a screenshot) so I can examine it.

The 'only' part of the last one is important If it's enabled, only files with their 'archive' attribute set will be included.

Which 'Input' mode do you have selected in the menu at the top of the main window? Which options have you got enabled (checked) on the 'Options' tab visible in the main window when you're in 'Build' mode?

What controller is the drive attached to? Something odd seems to be going on with timeouts etc. Please copy+paste the family tree info. To get that, right click the drive selection box and pick the option off the menu. Do you have this problem if you use other discs?

Ok so this is a problem outside of ImgBurn then. Try a new USB cable, different USB port etc. It could also be the PSU for the drive.

I would still like to see the log please. Just copy + paste everything from the Log window.

Please post the log - as per the pink box up the top. So as to not waste anyone's time, please make sure the drive is visible in My Computer / Explorer first. Until it is, ImgBurn won't be able to see it. The best way to do that would be to bring up 'My Computer' ('Computer') with the drive disconnect and then connect/turn on the external drive. You should see another drive suddenly appear in the 'My Computer' window.

What do you want clarification on exactly? That all ISO's from Mint 12 forward can be 'burnt' to USB or that ImgBurn can do it? I've no idea about the Mint 12 stuff... never even heard of it. As for ImgBurn, it just burns optical discs.

Well assuming the MD5 of the file you downloaded matches the one displayed on the 'Download' page, it should be safe. I don't know what your AV uses as a basis for its 'danger rate'... but if the installer is getting 100/100, I guess it must be ticking all the boxes! No doubt you becoming a member of their security network would help in this situation. It would see that lots of other people have downloaded / installed the app and that it's safe.

I'm not really sure how this is a 'bug' ? Just click the 'Yes, I trust' option. Your AV program is simply warning you because the installer (and app) aren't digitally signed.

Don't use the 'Patin Couffin' I/O interface, put it back on SPTI. (Uninstall and reinstall if need be) Do you still have the problem when it's on SPTI?

If you only have 1 drive in your PC, everything is working fine - but your drive isn't a burner and can't burn CDs or DVDs.

Have you just made up the names of those files? The DVD Video format specs are fixed, you can't rename files. The mpeg ones should be *.VOB, not *.mpeg and I can only guess the VIDEO_TS.html should actually be VIDEO_TS.IFO.

Put the disc in the drive and look at it in Explorer / My Computer / whatever you know it by. Explorer is just the file manager built into Windows. You can switch the 'View' to 'Details' and then check the sizes of each file on the disc.

It looks like your drive is unable to read the disc... probably because of the media you're using and the low quality burn. Try again with some decent discs - Verbatim or Taiyo Yuden (Victor JVC). You may have better results on your current media (RITEKF1) with a more recent drive. Yours must be 6 - 8 years old now? Cleaning it with a cleaning disc may also help.

Examine the disc in Explorer, it (the OS in general) must think one (or more) of the files are massive - as that's where the information ImgBurn uses in Build mode comes from. Oh and this is a support issue and therefore belongs in the 'ImgBurn Support' forum and not in 'Chat' - consider it moved.

That's the point I made earlier... you can't tell the drive to burn at 1x on those discs, it simply doesn't support it. Sure, you can *ask* it to, but it'll just ignore you and go with the slowest speed it does actually support. The supported write speeds for the drive/firmware/media combo are listed in the disc info text on the right when you're in Write mode. So not physically being able to tell the drive to burn at 1x makes the issue you're having (where it's burning at 1x) seem like an internal drive problem.

There isn't, no.

You can't bypass it. Either the disc is empty or it isn't.... yours isn't.
