LIGHTNING UK!

When you're in Write mode, copy + paste the disc info text on the right.

Your drive lists 4 different 'supported' write speeds for the 'PHILIP-R04-000' media, try something other than 4x. You can scan your burns with the likes of Opti Drive Control to see the quality. I wouldn't start messing with the drive's advanced (EEPROM) settings just yet and 'Burn Proof' does nothing these days, the feature is always enabled and the setting is ignored by the drive. People just make stuff up and it has a placebo effect.

It doesn't look like it, no. VCD always just emulates a DVD-ROM disc. It could be done with DAEMON Tools though - when using an MDS file.

The log is missing stuff from the top of it.... could you include that too please. Can I also ask you to right click the drive selection box and select the 'Family Tree' option. Close the prompt that pops up and then copy + paste that info from the log window.

You're on 1.01, the current version is 2.0 (as far as I can tell). I'm still waiting for the log too - the screenshots don't show us anything useful.

Try writing at 8x Try discs from another (new) spindle - go for the 16x speed Verbatim discs instead. If it still doesn't work, get yourself another drive.

1. DVD-R? Yes, that'll be fine. 3. Yes, you configure the 'Destination' field so it points to your burner - which of course will need to have a blank disc in it.

Extract Boot Image is a function, not a setting. If you don't want to extract a boot image from anything (which you don't), you don't need to touch it.

Everything should just work and you shouldn't have to do/change anything. If the program spots an obvious error in the settings then it'll tell you about it. If you tell us more about what you're trying to burn (in detail please), we might be able to help a bit more. Please don't forget there are loads of guides in the Guides forum too.

Yes, just tick that box I told you about in the settings [use 'Normal' For BD Video Discs (*)] 'Normal' means to just leave it alone (or force it back to 'Normal' if the drive defaults to making it DVD-ROM). So if it's a DVD+R DL disc it'll stay as DVD+R DL and won't be changed to DVD-ROM. Try building an ISO without the CERTIFICATE folder and mount that as a DVD too, see if that works.

Your problem is covered here - http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=8000

It's not a CUE editor, it just creates them. When you load a CUE into the Create CUE feature it just picks out the file names, nothing more, nothing less.

Basically, you either booktype to DVD-ROM or you leave it set to whatever the media really is. There's an option in the Settings that could help you if it turns out that TMT needs the booktype set on something other than DVD-ROM. It's on the Write tab and it's called [use 'Normal' For BD Video Discs (*)] If you mount a .DVD file (which points to the .ISO) in Virtual Clone Drive and you have a line in it saying 'MediaType=DVD', it may override the program using BD-R for any sized BD Video image. You could check it using ImgBurn in Read mode. If you select the virtual drive in the source box and look in the disc info text on the right, the 'Current Profile' should say 'DVD-ROM'. If it does, see if TMT will play that ok - and if it does, the booktype probably isn't the problem.

Please post the log - as per the pink box up the top The firmware on your drive is out of date, get the current release from here - http://www.firmwarehq.com/LG/GH22NS30/files.html

Nero offered a virtual drive program but not a virtual recorder (AFAIK). Take a look at these... 1. Phantom Burner - http://www.phantombility.com/en/prod/phantomburner/ 2. Phantom Drive - http://www.phantom-drive.com/en/ 3. Virtual CD - http://www.virtualcd-online.com/

Can you show me a screenshot (once you've loaded the image and put a disc in the drive) or something please? I need technical info if I'm to be able to help you.

The guide does mention the CD-TEXT stuff and that many software players don't support it. If you usually just use VLC then that's fine, you're obviously sorted in that department. If you use the Media Player ever then there's a plug-in available for it - and that's mentioned/linked in the Audio CD guide too.

Right, well if you mount a BD Video disc in Virtual Clone Drive it'll be emulating a BD-R disc. What you've got that is a DVD+R DL that's been booktyped to DVD-ROM... that could be what's causing the problem. I don't know the specifics on what TMT looks for and works with when trying to play a BD Video (or AVCHD) disc, you should talk to Arcsoft. It may not like the DVD-ROM booktype or it may not like the CERTIFICATE folder being there... who knows. btw, the latest patch can be downloaded from here - http://www.arcsoft.com/Forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9760&title=...a-theatre-521119-release-notes You can update the firmware on your burner too. PL04 is available now - http://www.firmwarehq.com/Lite-On/iHBS112%2B2/files.html

Audio tracks don't have names and they aren't real files. The best you can do is add CD-TEXT info to the disc and use a player that supports reading it.

Ah, a USB connection... all I can suggest is that you check the Renesas controller is running the latest firmware and that you have the latest drivers installed for it. http://www.station-drivers.com/page/renesas.htm If you check the iHAS124 thread in the 'Drives' forum you should see that I had more luck (better quality burns) burning MKM-001 at 4x having enabled the 'Overspeed' option in the drive's eeprom settings. It might be worth giving that a go once you've solved the 'hang' issue.

The logs gets saved automatically, you can pull up old ones via the Help menu. I just want to check everything was detected correctly. Playback issues comes from your player or the source files - because ImgBurn just burns exactly what you give it. Of course that doesn't really explain why a mounted ISO behaves differently to that same ISO burnt to a disc. What program do you use for mounting? What version of TMT are you running? Do you have the latest patches installed? Have you tried any other playback software? e.g. PowerDVD

Post the log of the burn / verify please - as per the pink box up the top

I honestly don't know about BD-R. Some drives may support it, some may not. I don't have enough of them, nor have I done any real 'Test Mode' testing on BD-R media to be able to say either way. Technically, the 'Write Parameters' mode page where the 'Test Mode' bit gets enabled doesn't apply to DVD+ or BD media so enabling the option on it shouldn't do anything. That aside, test mode doesn't really tell you anything useful. The drive can't know it's going to fail to burn the disc until it actually tries. If your drive is producing coaster, why don't you post a log so we can make a few comments.

They're just branded by Sony, that particular spindle is using the 'RITEKF1' mid/dye. Sony could chop and change depending on who gives them the best deal. I believe there is an update firmware available for your drive but you'd have to check HP's website or email them for it. You're running 0200 and I've seen people with 0400 via a Google search. Failing that, you could crossflash it to the real Samsung drive that it is. http://forum.rpc1.org/viewtopic.php?p=230975#p230975

Don't forget the drive you used there can't actually burn DVDs
