LIGHTNING UK!

ImgBurn burns as-is, so it would appear the format the audio is in within your source file isn't supported by your player. You can find out the format it's in using something like MediaInfo.

Have you tried just changing the destination file to one with the .iso file extension? If it can, it’ll convert your mode 2 cd to mode 1 and save as ISO.

You'd need to find out who actually makes the drive they've put their name on. I doubt it's one of their own.

Post the log please. If you've already changed discs, changing the drive would be the next logical step.

bios and drivers for old silicon image chipsets can be found here - http://www.latticesemi.com/en/Support/ASSPSoftwareArchive Bit weird that windows can't correctly install the driver for it. Get that sorted and don't use ASPI if you can avoid it. It's meant for OS predating XP.

As errors generally happen during the read/write operations , using /CLOSE should be enough.

I guess it's too old and not MMC compliant.

Post the log please

Yeah, just point Build mode at the drive letter of your optical drive and have it make the ISO that way.

What's the message in the status bar at that point?

Out of interest, which game was it?

Post the log please.

They're all closed source formats, so I'm afraid it won't get any better. It can read Enhanced CD's to the BIN/CUE format and then burn them, yes.

UME are not good DL discs. Just try another one. If it fails again, invest in some decent MKM-003-00 discs, as per the pinned thread about DL media.

Right click the device selection drop down box and pick 'Family Tree'. Close the prompt that comes up and then copy+paste everything from the Log window again please. It could just be a driver issue.

It depends on what it’s going to be used for. I tend to do things the correct way in order to avoid problems later down the line. In your case, yes, it appears to have worked. In others it may not and you’d need the bin/cue version - where you then mount the cue file and have a faithful ‘virtual’ representation of the disc in your virtual drive, not one that’s ‘almost’ right.

You could always create a set of par2 recovery files for the image - so you can recover it if that should happen.

Ok so you’ve got 80gb of stuff there.... I guess you didn’t actually mean cd when you said it because it’ll never fit! A reparse point is a virtual link to somewhere else - as in, not a real folder. They’re possibly linked to another folder that’s already being included and you don’t want the data duplicated or the image will get even bigger. Might you not be better off using a real hdd backup tool like Acronis True Image or similar?

Well... if you want to faithfully reproduce a disc (copy it), you need all of the info. If you’re losing some of it by converting to mode1/2048 byte sectors, it’s not a true copy. CDs have mode 1 and mode 2 sectors you see. Chances are, if you’d just specified the destination file name yourself and picked the iso format, the program would have warmed you that your disc didn’t belong in an iso but it might be possible to convert the sectors on the fly so that it could be put in one.

Is using Joliet or UDF not an option? ISO9660 isn't great with unusual characters and I'm English, so I don't see them or have much of a chance to test with them. Your windows settings may also play a part in the attempted conversion, I honestly can't remember.

Just because you got an iso doesn’t mean it’s correct ISO was meant to be mode1/2048, nothing more. Your disc can’t have been that or ImgBurn would have defaulted to iso.

Yes, with slight modifications to the parameters. The readme file contains all the info about that.

You must have been reading a cd that ISO isn’t suitable for.

Post the log please so we can see what we’re dealing with.

Either your drives are duff or your discs are. They shouldn't be failing to burn MKM-003-00 media (although they probably would fail with the overburning part). My advice would be to invest in a new (non slimline) drive and try again. You'll need one that's actually capable of overburning DVD+R DL media though.
