LIGHTNING UK!

Same issue at 4x rather than 'Max' (6x) ? If so, you'll just have to wait for another firmware update and hope support for the MID has improved.

As such things don't exist, I highly doubt it!

"AUTO" gets remapped to whatever "AWS" is (depends on the current translation).

Update the firmware on your drive. http://www.firmwarehq.com/NEC/ND-1300A/files.html Update ImgBurn If your discs don't play on your standalone player, maybe it doesn't like the media - 'CMC MAG-M01-00' aren't great quality discs. The burn quality achieved by your burner might not be up to much either - the firmware update may help that. I assume you created a DVD Video disc that your player supports? i.e. it's in NTSC format and not PAL.

Even if you did, you could just use a 'CD' entry and a 'DVD' one.

Your drive failing to burn a disc is not an issue with ImgBurn. Consider this thread moved to support. Now you're here, do as the pink box up the top says and post a log so we can see what's going on.

No but you could configure the 'Automatic Write Speed' feature as per the guide.

Extract the zip to the ImgBurn\Languages folder.

Ah damn, I see the problem ( )... the code looking for the BDAV/BDMV folders was returning the opposite of what it should have been. One of the conditional checks was then passing when it shouldn't have been, causing the MDS to get created. Consider it fixed for the next release.

I don't know what you added to the 'Source' box in Build mode but it was wrong (and tiny in size). You can't just put a VOB in a VIDEO_TS folder and expect the disc to play, it won't. You need a proper set of DVD video files (IFO/VOB/BUP). If your current software can't do that, try another one.

Put the disc in the drive, load ImgBurn, switch to Write mode and look in the disc info box on the right. In there you should find the disc/manufacturer ID somewhere.

It would totally depend on the MID of the discs. It supports 2.4x DVD+RW in general though, yes.

Ignore the MDS checkbox in the settings, I'm talking about the drop down box called 'Create Image Layout File'. It defaults to 'Auto' but maybe you've set it to 'Yes'. When on 'Auto' (and based on the info I see in the log), it wouldn't be creating an MDS when reading that disc.* *Unless it contains a BDAV/BDMV folder.

You want some decent DVD-R discs - Taiyo Yuden (Victor JVC) or Verbatim. What you're burning to the disc makes no difference, data is data.

Buy better discs - and not rewritable ones.

I was talking about this one. http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=59&view=findpost&p=76706 As you say, there must just be something not quite right with the files.

Normally it's stuff like antivirus utils, backup, defrag, indexing etc.

Try clearing the OPC history via the advanced settings (where HyperTuning etc are configured). If the drive light double flashes whilst burning the 'OTCBDR-001-000' discs it means HyperTuning has automatically been enabled for the disc - either because you've enabled it by force or because the drive doesn't know how to burn that MID.

Is this in Windows XP (or 2003)? I believe there's a post in the FAQ that covers it - an updated directshow filter is required.

This is being dealt with on the Trend Micro forums now. http://community.trendmicro.com/t5/Home-and-Home-Office-Forum/imgburn/td-p/58528

I'm sure all this info can be found via Google. It's not specific to ImgBurn. TAO only applies to CD. It was the first write type drives supported and is the most basic. Track at ones has fixed size gaps (2 seconds) between tracks. SAO/DAO gives you complete control over the layout. The only time you'd ever want TAO is if your burner is 3 million years old, doesn't support SAO/DAO and should be replaced anyway.

Ah sorry, a really *blank* disc I'm not sure I've ever really studied them that closely. I wouldn't expect them to have bands in the dye like that when they haven't been burnt though, no.

No. CD-RW, Yes. DVD+RW, No. (it supports direct overwrite as I mentioned earlier) No. (Just DVD+RW, DVD-RAM, BD-RE as I mentioned earlier)

There's a thread about 8 below this one talking about it. http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=19324 The svrapi.dll file should not be on your system.

The 800 sectors thing is for discs that support direct overwrite (DVD+RW, DVD-RAM, BD-RE, you can just overwrite existing data without erasing/zeroing). Their 'Status' cannot be returned to 'Blank' by erasing/formatting, it'll always say 'Complete'. For other discs there's an actual quick erase/format command you can issue that'll return them to 'Blank' status. Zeroing the first 800 is enough to wipe out the file system and make the disc appear blank. Some programs just won't write to a disc unless it's blank (those without an auto erase function and aren't aware of direct overwrite).
