LIGHTNING UK!

I didn't give you an answer, I asked you to priovide more (well, the basic / required) info.

I can double click them and it loads them just fine. Uninstall ImgBurn and then reinstall it... see if that fixes the problem. If It doesn't, I'll talk you through some registry stuff to find and fix it.

The exact cause of the "The semaphore timeout period has expired." error is unknown but we believe it's due to a bad usb enclosure / motherboard chipset combo. Something about them is making the I/O command time out long before it should do. Can't you use your internal drive instead of the external one? If your internal one is useless, replace it with something decent and use that instead. That aside, you should read this - http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=8000 You can get the firmware update for your drive from here - http://www.firmwarehq.com/Pioneer/DVR-115D/files.html

Please post a log of you burning and verifying the disc in question - as per the pink box up the top Have you tried playing the disc on your PC? btw, building 3D discs isn't really supported. They're supposed to be burnt in a special way (interleaved data between a couple of folders) but no software supports doing that (apart from the one they use for commercial discs - probably 'scenarist' or something). Don't get me wrong, it should still work, but you'll be burning a lot more data to the disc than should actually be required (when the interleaving is implemented).

That's normal, it's not a disc you're supposed to be able to browse on a PC. http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=12200

You switch to 'Build' mode and then click 'File' -> 'Load Project' yeah? If you're attempting to load it from the command line, you need to make sure your command line includes '/MODE BUILD'.

It's probably not MMC compliant or just doesn't support SAO burning in general. Either way, it's probably time to invest in a new one!

It already fills out the destination file name based on the volume label you've entered on the 'Labels' tab. It's not going to get any more intelligent than that.

Please copy+paste all of the disc info from the panel on the right when you're in 'Write' mode with one of the problem discs in the drive.

Normally it's round the other way... DVD-R will hold more than DVD+R (and DVD+RW)

Thanks for reporting back. I look forward to your next informative post.

Go into 'Build' mode. Then, in the 'Input' menu at the top, just select 'Advanced'

You can't unless you manually pick and choose folders to add to each disc. Use 'Advanced' input mode (if you aren't already), it should make things easier.

That would be hard considering it's a CD-ROM and incapable of writing anything.

I've tried but am unable to reproduce this error - I even tried it with a DVR-219L FW: 1.01 to match your own (I don't have a PX-755A). Do you have any other Enhanced CDs you could test it with?

Do you actually have the original CD? If it burnt and verified ok, there's really nothing more we can do. If the source image was right in the first place, it should work fine. I've no idea of the disc is copy protected or not - ones that are obviously won't copy correctly. I also have no idea what the disc is supposed to do / look like when you try and run it.

We need to see the log of you burning and verifying the disc.

So it could be something else running in the background when you boot into 'normal' mode that's causing it to crash... maybe some sort of AV software or whatever.

No idea, sorry. Boot into safe mode, does it still crash when you close it?

Your drive is reporting a 'Write Error' whilst trying to burn those 'RITEK-S04-66' discs. You should have already looked at this post ( http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=8000 ) and done what it recommends (but it appears you haven't). So... update your drive's firmware - http://www.firmwarehq.com/Samsung/SH-S203B/files.html - and try the other bits mentioned in it.

Your drive seems unable to (reliably) burn the 'CMC MAG. AM3' discs at 4x, try again at 8x. Notice that the speed you selected (6x) isn't even an option for your drive/firmware/media combo. If it still fails to burn them at that speed, invest in some better discs (Verbatim or Taiyo Yuden). You could also try cleaning the drive with a cleaning disc. For the double layer media, I hope you followed this... http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=8000

So long as you're doing steps 8 - 13, that's all that matters.

AFAIK, the modified firmware applies the size changes to all DVD+R DL media... so I wouldn't blame the media for it not doing so. I don't know what to tell you. ImgBurn offering truncate/overburn means the firmware isn't doing its job and reporting a larger available capacity.

Have you tried all of the speeds the drive claims to support on those discs? Have you tried better quality discs? (Verbatim / Taiyo Yuden) Have you tried cleaning the drive with a cleaning disc? If you have, yes, the drive is probably toast - but that's not bad considering it could be 8 years old now almost.

Yes, anything without copy protection on it will be fine to just read in Read mode and then write in Write mode. You won't have to change any settings.
