ImgBurn just burns as-is, so if you have problems with playback, your source files are to blame (or the playback device).

The initial spec of ISO9660 only allowed for file names in the old 8.3 format (XXXXXXXX.YYY) and you could only use 'A' to 'Z', '0' to '9' and '_' characters in the names. There is no real support for large files either so you're limited to stuff under 4GB in size. UDF has no such limitations and add supports for Unicode characters etc. UDF isn't new though, it has been around for ages now and is used on all DVD / BD Video discs. I don't really understand why 7zip chose to extract from the ISO9660 file system rather than the superior UDF one, you'd have to take that up with its author. EDIT: I just installed the 9.20 version of 7zip and it extracts my Windows 7 images ok. Weird.

Your drive can't burnt DVDs at all, it can only read them. It's what's known as a 'combo' drive. If you want to burn DVDs you'll have to invest in a new drive.

Sync cache is what always happens at the end of a burn. It's where the drive is told to finish performing everything it has been told to do up until that point - because don't forget, drives have an internal buffer. So even though the program may have (successfully) sent all the data to the drive for writing, the drive won't actually have tried to write it to the disc until it has finished writing everything in its internal buffer (cache). The sync cache command signals the end of the burn so anything else the drive needs to do to the disc in order to make it work properly later on is also done at that point. Your drive reported a 'Write Error' whilst trying to perform those functions.

You can create new topics in forum apart from the top 5 under the 'General' heading. ImgBurn doesn't 'create' a UDF image, it just reads exactly what's on the disc, sector by sector. From what I can see (the pics aren't showing up), there's no issue with ImgBurn here. Whatever you're using to extract the files from the ISO file (7zip) is just extracting from the wrong file system. The newer OS discs don't use the ISO9660 file system, they use the UDF one. So if your extraction program only extracts what's listed in the ISO9660 file system, all you're going to get is a file saying you need to use an OS that can read UDF. Use a program that extracts from the UDF file system and you'll be fine. Of course it's pointless extracting anything from the ISO when you have the original disc and could just copy+paste the files in Explorer! You could even mount the ISO in a virtual drive program (Something like Virtual CloneDrive) and copy+paste the files that way. The OS would have no problem picking up the UDF file system rather than the rubbish old ISO9660 one. Is your version of 7zip up to date? Maybe they've fixed this problem in a newer (beta?) release?

Sorry, I don't follow you. It hasn't finished zeroing the sectors, that's what's failing to complete successfully.

That's 2 questions, but who's counting?! 1. There's only one. The 'Calculate Optimal' / 'User Specified' one. 2. Yes of course it's after the burn... but it's before you then attempt to actually use the disc and it checks the entire thing, not just bits that may or may not get read in the first 5 mins of trying to use it. A seemingly successful burn can still be totally unreadable - drives are funny like that. Verify checks that the drive can read back what it just wrote. Sure, even if the burner can't read the disc that it just burnt, that doesn't mean another drive won't be able to... but it doesn't exactly fill you with confidence does it?!

You don't need to 'test' to see if the warnings/triangles will come up, they WILL come up if you get the overburn/truncate prompt! If you don't get the prompt (and haven't messed with the LB settings), they won't come up. It's as simple as that. They aren't the cause of your problems anyway (well, not beyond the whole 'truncating' rather than burning the full image thing) so it makes no difference. Verify checks that everything written to the disc is physically readable and that it matches what's in the image file. As you're having problems with things supposedly being 'unreadable', I'd say that re-enabling the 'Verify' option is a bit of a no brainer.

It all boils down to your drive not liking the discs. I can't tell you why it has a problem with them, only that is has. The error messages you see there in the log are exactly what the drive returns to the program when it fails to do what has been asked of it (i.e. write zeroes to some sectors).

Does it at least burn and verify ok? Don't forget that you're truncating and therefore the disc is missing data. I wouldn't find it strange that something known to be incomplete doesn't work properly.

If it won't fit, you're going to get those 4 warnings in the log (well, not exactly those 4 when it's on 'calc optimal' but close to them). That's what SHOULD be happening and is perfectly normal. The warnings are just warnings, they don't change the outcome.

It should always be on calculate optimal. Once it's on that, you'll get a warning saying the image won't fit on the disc before ever seeing anything about the layer break position being unacceptable for your drive/media. If you don't ever want to see the warnings again, buy the right hardware.

No, that guide would be no good. You need a DOS bootable disc that loads CD-ROM drivers, which then gives you access to the rest of the stuff burnt on the CD (i.e. the BIOS update). Most BIOS can be updated within Windows these days or via a USB memory stick when you're in the BIOS screen. There might even be a bootable ISO image you can just burn as-is. I guess it depends on which machine/motherboard you have

You've set a custom ('user specified') layer break position that's beyond what's physically possible on the drive/disc. Change the layer break setting back to 'Calculate Optimal' and leave it alone.

Ok well just stick with it then and accept a few coasters.

Your drive has a problem with the disc and reported a 'Write Error'. Give it another go. If it still does the same thing, try another disc. If it still does the same thing, try cleaning the drive with a cleaning disc (and then try full erasing both discs again). If it still does the same thing after that, get another drive.

You can't get rid of them. You're trying to do something with your drive that's just not possible... you need a very specific piece of (modified) hardware to burn using that layer break position. Do some research over at an xbox forum.

It doesn't do it on my machine and I'm running 306.23. Actually, I've run all of the beta and whql drivers they've released in as long as I can remember and don't recall ever seeing such a problem. I'm on Win 7 SP1 x64 if that matters. What sort of error box are you seeing? A basic Windows one or the special one that ImgBurn normally pops up when it crashes (where you can then opt to send me a bug report) ?
