You can find info about filters in the Audio CD guide. http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=5555&&do=findComment&comment=91374

I don't know why, no. All I know is that your drive failed and reported a 'Write Error'.

I keep seeing info about the mounted ISO being played in WinDVD and the burnt disc being played in the player, but that's not what I asked about. I want to know if the disc you burnt plays ok in your computer via WinDVD. I'm not talking about the mounted ISO, I'm talking about the actual disc you burnt earlier.

How many discs have failed like that? It looks like your drive did a bad job of burning that one and now it can't read back what it just wrote - never a good sign! Try turning OPC back off and perhaps get hold of some 8x Verbatim discs instead of the 2.4x ones (MKM-003-00 Vs MKM-001-00)

Well, in theory, all the data should be on the disc (as Verify passed) but you may find the disc as a whole is totally unrecognisable/unreadable in certain devices. That's what normally happens when a disc can't be closed.

Your drive reported a 'Write Error' whilst trying to burn the disc. Just try again with a new disc.

Sorry, no.

It was never supposed to be in there for Build mode and it caused a crash. Trucating a project you've built yourself is a bit weird... just make it smaller in the first place!

The discs should be fine, I'd probably blame the drive if anything. I'm not a fan of slimline drives, especially Matshita ones. It would be interesting to check out the burn quality of that drive/media combo but you'd need access to a LiteOn Blu-ray drive (or clone of such a drive).

Thank you all. Yes, 33 already... how time flies!

Have you tried burning at 4x? Perhaps try with another variation of the Verbatim discs - there are several to choose from.

I don't know where you think these problems are coming from but the ISO ImgBurn made (which you then mounted and played) is going to be no different to what goes on the disc when you burn directly. So if it worked in WinDVD, it seems to me that everything from both sides (ConvertXtoDVD and ImgBurn) is in order. Pretty much the only thing left is the media you burnt the image to. I can't answer/explain your 'why would this happen if this hasn't happened' type questions, that's something you need to figure out yourself by actually trying stuff - I'm giving you clues as to what you could/should be trying in order to narrow down the cause of your problem. Does WinDVD play the disc (correctly) that your players do not play correctly? I did ask this question in my previous post.

Just doing copy+paste from the log window (after getting past the error) would be enough. Have you copied the most recent ImgBurn.exe into DVD Flicks folder? That ships with a really old version.

Well if your player can't read the disc properly, you'll just have to try better discs or one of the other supported write speeds and hope your drive does a better job. http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=8000 Passing Verify on the PC means the PC's optical drive can read the disc... so in theory WinDVD should be able to play what you've burnt too (and not just from the virtual drive).

Can you show me the log please.

There's some communication issue between the drive and your machine. Try the other port again. Does it have enough power?

Restarting isn't powering off. Other than that, the only odd thing I see is that you've messed with the eeprom settings. FHT, OHT and Overspeed are usually off.

You can probably just turn the PC off and on again and it would work.

Burn at 4x. You probably don't need OPC on either. Oh and don't mess with the layer break stuff. Put it back on calculate optimal and leave it alone!

Copy the contents of the disc to a new folder on your hdd, replace the file you want to replace. Extract the Boot Image using ImgBurn (Build mode, Advanced tab, Bootable disc) - tell it to auto populate the fields. Still in Build mode, add the new folder you created earlier to the Source box and Build a new image. That's how you'd do it in ImgBurn anyway. You could of course use a 3rd party app that lets you edit ISO files directly - you can Google for those.

They create the IFO files though, not me. Your disc is 100% readable, as is the virtual drive image and yet it still doesn't play correctly. Any chance you could give the trial version of PowerDVD 12 a go? Even 'media player classic - home cinema' might do the trick. You're going to have to post up the IFO files so they can be examined - ideally, a set from what's on your hdd and a 2nd set from the burnt disc.

You should speak to VSO about the problem if your player doesn't behave the way it's supposed to.

That's due to the way Windows works. When the installer loads ImgBurn it's running as Admin. You can't then drag and drop from a lower level app (like Explorer). As you've found out, closing the installer opened ImgBurn and reopening it yourself via the icon gets it back at non admin level and you can then drag+drop again. Standard and Advanced input modes are totally seperate (and always have been). You cannot represent the same thing in both so it's pointless attempting it.

Because the discs are impossible ot get hold of, the manufacturers don't waste their time advertising the fact the drives can burn to such discs. The capabilitys are obtained by querying the drive.* * 'DVD+RW DL' comes from an actual (its own special 'DVD+RW DL') 'feature' descriptor, the 'DVD-RW DL' one just piggy backs on being able to write 'DVD-R DL' for now as no dedicated 'feature' has been added for it. Detection of the 'DVD-RW DL' capability will be improved as and when it becomes possible.
