Yeah but how are you looking at the DIR contents? You can't see the contents of session 1 without the use of special tools. A disc being multi-track/session is something the program finds out by querying the drive. Put the disc in and copy + paste the disc info from the box on the right when you're in Read mode.

Where ImgBurn.exe is.

It attempts to load ImgBurn.ibb upon startup.

If you try and read a multisession disc to a single session image, you could/would lose data (files) present in one but not the other. So if the file system in session 1 contained 'file1.jpg' and the file system in session 2 contained 'file1.jpg' (from session 1) and 'file2.jpg' (new in session 2), you may find 'file2.jpg' doesn't exist when you browse your single session image file. That's the reason Read mode is blocked from reading such discs and why Build mode must be used instead - it'll read the files from the most recent file system tables/descriptors on the disc (i.e. what you'd see in Explorer).

That's my generic signature... you didn't PM me.

'INFODISC-A10-01' is the MID/dye used by the discs you've got. The brand name stamped on them isn't important, the MID/dye *is*. It's just a cheapo MID/dye and your even the latest firmware for your drive is 6 years old.

The Vista / Windows 7 one is correct. What didn't work about it?

It's your drive or the media you're using.

How many times have you tried it? Give it another go. Cleaning the drive with a cleaning disc may help. Failing that, get some different discs or buy another drive and hope it supports the 'INFODISC-A10-01' ones you have now.

Use a double layer disc.

That's correct. I'm sure you'll find some links to something that'll work with the key your laptop came with if you just search Google. It's just a matter of getting the right edition (Home Premium or whatever) and version (OEM I'd guess - rather than 'retail')

Only burnt discs.

Are you in Write mode instead of Build mode? Write mode is for burning disc image files and so only disc image files will show up in the browse box. What's the problem with the search function(s) ? Its usefulness probably depends on how well you can search.

Any sort of error during the burn usually isn't a great sign. Update the firmware on your drive. http://www.firmwarehq.com/Lite-On/iHBS112%2B2/files.html 2x isn't a supported write speed and 4x might not be the optimal speed for 'RITEK-BR3-000' media. Do some Disc Quality/PIPO scans (using Opti Drive Control / DVDInfoPro) on the next few discs you burn and see what they come out like.

The folders come off the original install DVD or from whatever you've downloaded from Microsoft's site (sometimes they supply a zip file). The guide isn't for attempting to build an install disc based on an existing installation of Vista on your computer.

Try at all of the supported write speeds. If none of them work, invest in better discs. The drive must have a problem with the 'UME02' ones you're currently trying to use.

If the log says 2.5.6.0, that's the version you're running Download the updated version - not that it'll actually help you with your conversion to DVD Video format.

Sometimes discs come pre-formatted (probably with spare areas enabled) and so the program doesn't need to perform the initial format itself before the discs can be written to - but you'll be stuck burning at approx half the rated speed. If they aren't pre-formatted, ImgBurn will format (by default, with spare areas disabled) and then you'll be burning at the rated speed.

It's not possible with ImgBurn, no. Use DVD Flick, ConvertXtoDVD etc.

Click the Erase button in the Destination box when you're in Write/Build (Device)/Discovery mode. Or right click the drive selection box -> Erase -> Full or Tools -> Drive -> Erase -> Full

I already did the other day, still nothing.

It wouldn't matter what you set the write speed to, the drive/firmware/media combo you have only supports 2.4x so it would always burn at that speed. I hope the new burner works out ok for you

Not sure where you read that but it's wrong. You have to format a disc without spare areas in order for it to burn at full speed - otherwise 'defect management' is active on the drive and it verifies every 'write' option on-the-fly during the burn - which is what makes it go so slowly. If you initiate a full erase within ImgBurn, the default formatting settings should take care of the rest.

Are you actually using a Primera autoloader/publisher or just the firmware from their website in a normal drive? The program always unloads from autoloader devices - regardless of program settings. I don't know what these 'extended tray eject capabilities' could/would be for normal (non autoloader) drives.
