LIGHTNING UK!

You should try burning at the remaining supported speeds if you haven't already done so. Maybe the firmware is just bad at 4x on the discs you've got. Where does it say your Verbatim discs were made? (look on the packaging) The ones from Singapore seem to be the best.

You've already been pointed in the direction of the answer/possible solutions. Making new threads asking the same question isn't going to get your a different answer. If your drive errors out during the burn then that's a problem between your drive/firmware/media combo.

Given any sort of choice, I'd never buy a slimline drive like that.

That log shows you trying reuse a disc that has previously failed. Don't do that.

When verifying audio data, ImgBurn doesn't compare the actual data - it's not possible due to the way the drives ofset audio samples. So all it's doing is checking the sectors are physically readable.

Here's how it works... It sorts the files in alphabetical order using their original file names (and that's probably alphabetical in character by character sense, not the 'logical' sense like in Vista+'s Explorer so 10 would come before 2 because 1 comes before 2) and then looks at each name in that sorted list and cuts so they fit in the restricted file name length (be that 8.3 or 64 characters etc). If the cut name matches one that already exists, it drops a character from the name and appends a number. That number is increased until the name is unique. The way it works is/was the standard way of doing it at the time of implementation.

The 'Invalid Floating Point' error is out of my control. You wouldn't normally get it *every* time though. As you are, disable the graph data stuff in the settings and try again. That's a workaround and not an actual fix.

Unfortunatly, in order to figure out if your drive can complete a full burn to a disc, you have to attempt exactly that. If you want to just check that what you're burning should be playable etc, burning to a BD-RE DL would do the job.

Yes, just add the whole lot. Put the pictures in another folder alongside the normal AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS ones.

I don't know if it will fix that problem... or if it's even a problem at all. LiteOn may have just decided to implement the format command differently. Yes, the time taken by the LG is normal for full certification. The drive's own full certification process should take slightly longer than the zeroing sectors part - thereby at least doubling the time it takes for the entire 'full erase' / format process.

If it's reading back a CD-TEXT enabled disc as digital silence then it's probably some weird firmware related drive issue.

You could probably use MultiAVCHD to make a BD Video folder from those MKV files (with a nice menu), burn that in ImgBurn and have it work from your BD media.

What is having trouble playing the CD-TEXT enabled disc? Re-enable the 'Verify' checkbox so the program can check the disc is readable. Then try playing the disc on the PC.

If it's just stopping burning, it's probably related to the new drive you've just got. To be honest, you'd have been better off getting a drive to replace the one inside your machine instead of an external one. How does the USB one connect to your PC? Just via 1 USB port? Does it have an external power supply?

Do you want to make a DVD Video disc or just backup the file to a disc? If you want a DVD Video disc you need to use something like DVD Flick or ConvertXtoDVD to turn it into one.

The LiteOn doesn't format with full certification properly. There's a newer firmware for the LiteOn btw. http://www.firmwarehq.com/Lite-On/iHBS112%2B2/files.html

It looks like your drive did a bad job of burning those LTH discs. If it can't handle burning to them, try with some non LTH (i.e. HTL) discs instead.

http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=61 That's all there is to it. If you still have a problem after following that, do what the pink box up the top tells you to do and post a log.

Quick erasing a partially formatted DVD+RW just writes zeroes to the first few hundred sectors on the disc. That is not the same as actually issuing the 'format' command to the drive. Until the disc info text on the right actually shows 'Formatted: Yes', ImgBurn will still want to perform a full format on the disc. It likes things to be done properly. Once completed, you won't have to format/erase it again - unless a 3rd party app messes with the 'Formatted' status again. If your drive won't burn those FUJIFILM03 discs, try with some better ones - Verbatim or Taiyo Yuden (Victor JVC). If it won't burn those either, try cleaning the drive with a cleaning disc. If it still won't burn anything after that, buy a new drive.

Just copy + paste everything from the Log window please.

Are you trying to do away with using DVD Flick or something? DVD Flick converts video files (AVI files etc) into DVD Video format. If you just build an ISO from files you'd normally run through DVD Flick, you won't end up with a DVD Video disc, it'll be a data disc containing video files (AVI files etc). So basically, don't skip the DVD Flick conversion stage. Get it to output to a VIDEO_TS folder and then make ImgBurn 'build' an ISO out of it. If you're using DVD Flick, make sure you replace its local copy of ImgBurn.exe with the latest version (otherwise you may still be using v2.5.1.0).

When ImgBurn 'builds' an ISO from scratch, it makes them a multiple of 16 (or 32) sectors so this type of thing isn't a problem. When it 'reads' a disc and dumps the sectors to an ISO, it just reads the number of sectors the drive says are present - so no padding or whatever.

If it's unreadable in your drive and you don't have access to any others that may or may not be able to read it, there's no way for you to make an ISO from it. Stick to the old image.

You won't know if Verbatim disc will work until you actually try them. As per - http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=8000 Your 2nd post just shows a disc your drive can't read. Is it dirty/scratched? Try it in another drive if possible.
