LIGHTNING UK!

You can't have installed it correctly.

We don't do thread hijacking here. Make your own new thread please - as per the instructions in the pink box up the top.

Read the top of the dialog box (and the caption in the button) in your second image. Notice it mentions 'folder'. By design, that dialog doesn't display files. If you want to see files, use the 'Browse for files...' button instead.

Try burning at 4x. Try burning discs with a different MID/dye - perhaps get the 2x or 4x Verbatims instead of the 6x ones.

You should read this - http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=12200

Sorry, I have no idea then. Someone over at the MyCE forum may be able to help you - i.e. C0deKing as he does all the LiteOn firmware mods.

This type of thing usually comes down to authoring and if all the right folders are present (or absent!) from the compilation. Different players like different things. Playback issues aren't something we really concern ourselves with here - as ImgBurn just burns what you give it. You might have more luck on a forum that deals with whatever made your source files in the first place. The MultiAVCHD thread over at the Doom9 forums may have info relevant to your specific player.

Beyond the buffer recovery bit and based on what you're burning/your current hardware, everything you're seeing there is to be expected.

Have you eaten it yet? Take a pic

Forget quick erasing BD-RE, it's pointless. All it does is zero the first 800 sectors on the disc to make it look empty. You'd be overwriting those anyway during a burn so it's just additional wear for no real benefit. What you're aiming for a disc that has been fully formatted (with full certification) without the drive erroring out. There aren't exactly many MIDs/dyes available for BD-RE DL so it could end up that the drive is just no good for any of them. At that point (and assuming you've already tried cleaning the drive with a cleaning disc) you have to consider buying something else (like an LG BH12LS30/35/38 or a Pioneer BDR-206). I swapped out my GGW-H20L for a BH12LS38 a month or so ago.

What's listed in the 'Next Write' option? DVD-ROM for everything? You don't have any special modified firmware versions installed do you?

Happy Birthday (again) db (Holy thread revival batman!)

At what point are you actually checking the booktype values? ImgBurn automatically changes the booktype to DVD-ROM when it burns... but it only manipulates the temporary values, the ones saved in EEPROM (which then get applied when the drive is reset) aren't touched. Normal and Normal (3) mean the same thing so just ignore the difference there.

Because ImgBurn does it properly and Nero doesn't.

Sorry, I don't know. Just try it again (and again). If you can't get the right firmware to flash onto the drive, go and ask the author of the flashing tool for help.

VERBAT-IM1-000 should technically be supported by the YL07 firmware but it won't be very mature as that MID is a new one. Other factors such as a dirty drive/laser could also be what's causing the drive to error out as it tries to format the disc. Your version of ImgBurn is out of date btw.

If that's what it says, the modified firmware update didn't work.

It sounds like the drive doesn't support the media you're trying to burn to. Being a basic CD burner, it obviously won't burn DVDs.

I've no idea. I wouldn't have thought so. Might I ask why you're asking? Are you worried about running out of changes? Once set, you shouldn't ever really have to touch the regional settings. It's not something you're supposed to keep changing, that's why the drives are limited to 5 changes.

If you burnt an image file, yes. If not, no.

If you're usually near the PC and able to push it back in, leave it enabled. If you aren't and would prefer to go away, come back and find it all finished, disable it. I don't rate slimline drives as burners - they're all pretty rubbish. If you're burning enough discs to make pushing in the tray a real issue, maybe you should consider buying an external normal size drive that can eject+load by itself.

Cycling the tray is actually quite important and picks up on issues that would otherwise go unnoticed. Don't think that just because some other tools don't do it that they're correct... they aren't. The option you're looking for is aptly named 'Cycle Tray Before Verify' and can be found on the 'Write' tab in the 'Settings'. The only time I'd ever consider turning it off is if I had a laptop with a slimline drive that has to be loaded manually.

Copy the 2 files to your hard drive, then try to open x.di in Write mode. It'll either work or it won't

Because you can only pick a random region without a disc in the drive if it's the first time the regional code has ever been set. After that, the drive compares the disc's regional code(s) to the one you're attempting to set the drive to. They must match or the drive will error out (not ImgBurn itself). The program does say you need to have inserted a disc from a corresponding region. I'm not seeing a specific bit of code to warn about last chance. The number of remaining changes is clearly displayed in the box where you pick the region.

It won't, no. Or at least not if it's an MDS ImgBurn created.
