LIGHTNING UK!

Install the latest version of ImgBurn and then copy + paste the ImgBurn.exe file from ImgBurn's folder (C:\Program Files\ImgBurn) into DVD Flick's folder - replacing the old version that's already there. I can't tell why nothing was added, it could be due to program configuration or just something DVD Flick did wrong. Try and find DVD Flicks output (a VIDEO_TS folder) and burn it manually by following one of the DVD Video guides in the Guides forum. SP3 is out for Windows XP btw.

Post the log please - as per the pink box up the top

You can work around the issue in the 2.5.6.0 version by enabling the 'Reading - Always Use Buffered I/O' option in the settings (I/O tab).

Copy+paste what you see in the Log windows please - as per the pink box up the top It usually means your drive doesn't like the discs you're trying to use.

I name things as they're actually called in the MMC specs. VNR (Verify Not Required) is a flag you can set in one of the commands and it tells the drive NOT to verify as it burns. By unchecking the option, the flag is NOT set and therefore the drive WILL verify as it goes along - *if* the firmware defaults to doing that. If the firmware doesn't default to doing that, I don't suppose the flag does anything at all!

Windows controls context menus, ImgBurn just adds itself as an option for the supported file types. You might find the mount option in 'Open With' or something. If not then it's their bug and not mine I'm afraid.

It means your drive doesn't like the discs. That's to be expected as your drive can't burn DVDs, it can only read them.

Try unchecking the 'BD-R Verify Not Required' box in the settings. Have you tried doing a 'Disc Quality' scan using Opti Drive Control on one of your 'perfect' burns?

That 'someone' is wrong. Unless the disc is truly dead to the drive, you should just be able to erase it and start again from scratch. Open ImgBurn, switch to Write mode, put the disc in the drive and copy + paste the disc info from the panel on the right. If the panel is empty (well, only contains a couple of lines), tell me what it says in the status bar at the bottom of the main window.

It sounds like you're using the 'browse for file' dialog box rather than the 'browse for folder' dialog box. They're 2 different buttons. If it's easier, just drag+drop the video_ts folder into the 'Source' box.

You should change the size in DVDFab, not ImgBurn. (The one you're looking at in ImgBurn is unrelated to the issue) If it's producing a set of files that won't fit on a disc then the value you've set in it is too high.

I'd expect that command to fail on a slimline (laptop style) drive but the program shouldn't be displaying the failure. We need to see a log. Don't you have any rewritable discs? CD-RW, DVD-RW, DVD+RW etc.

If 2.4x isn't working on your drive, try one of the faster 'supported' speeds. If it fails at all of the supported speeds, try cleaning the drive with a cleaning disc and then try again. If it still fails, either your drive has had it and needs to be replaced or you've got a faulty batch of discs. Service Pack 1 is out for Windows 7 btw.

Your drive can only read DVDs, not write them. It's what's know as a 'combo' drive. (Write CDs and Read DVDs)

Try with the current release of ImgBurn and report back with a new log please if you still have a problem. You can probably try that ISO and disc again using Verify mode - no need to burn. If your're still getting errors like in the picture you attached, you have DMA issues. That could be due to the controller the drive is attached to, the cable, drivers etc.

If the disc burnt and verified fine, the disc is fine. If Windows can't see the disc then it's probably because it hasn't noticed it's been burnt - and therefore that the contents have changed. You just need to kick it into gear. Have you disabled autoinsert at OS level or anything?

Brand names don't mean anything, it's the dye/MID the discs use that's important. As you can see, yours use the 'RITEK-F16-01' dye/MID and it's just a cheapo one used by various brands. Get yourself some Verbatim ('MCC' dye/MID) / Taiyo Yuden (a.k.a. Victor JVC with 'TY' or 'YUDEN' dye/MID) discs. They actually make their own and are known to be the best.

Your drive doesn't seem to like the discs you're using, try some different / better ones. It might be worth trying the other supported write speeds first though. You've tried 'MAX' which is 8x for your drive/firmware/media combo.

Try again with the log please, there's nothing in your post.

You've have to double check the command line parameters being passed to ImgBurn when it's called up. I don't know if that's recorded anywhere in DVDFab's logs. Otherwise, you could examine the ImgBurn.exe process via taskmanager having enabled the command line column. If ImgBurn's settings aren't configured to 'Check Close Program' and the 'Close Program' checkbox is checked when you burn/verify, the app calling ImgBurn must be using the /CLOSE or /CLOSESUCCESS CLI parameters.

You really should re-enable the 'Verify' option. It checks the disc is fully readable and that all the data is present and correct. Ditch the 'CMC' dye discs and get yourself some decent Verbatim 'MCC' or Taiyo Yuden discs instead.

Post a log of you burning + verifying one of the problem discs. To me, it just sounds like your Sony player can't read the disc very well. That's usually caused by using low quality discs or the drive just not burning to it very well (low burn quality).

It's just occurred to me that the SPTD installer's message about your platform not being supported could be due to you downloading the 32bit version of the installer rather than the 64bit one. That aside, I'm sure your problems are covered by this thread - http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=8000

You can skip the PGCEdit bit if you're just using it to try and set a layer break position. As you've seen, ImgBurn offers the same selection list and correctly builds the ISO so it can be burnt to DL media. Burning an ISO is not the same thing, you don't have the ability to move things around (apply padding) in a pre-built ISO and therefore will have (far) less potential layer break positions available to you.

Burn your video_ts folder with ImgBurn in Build mode. Post the log so we can actually see what's going on.
