LIGHTNING UK!

It would make the program do a basic 50/50 (still ECC block aligned) split - with no regard for updating the cell flags in the IFO files (be it marking them as seamless or non-seamless). Physically, yes, there always has to be a layer break - and there always will be. That's a media thing. The layer break options are just there to control file alignment and optionally update the IFO based on said alignment/the seamless setting.

There isn't, no. If you leave the fields blank on the main window, the program generates one based on content and then prompts you to confirm it. That prompt contains a button that autofills the fields with the current date. (That's the best I can offer you right now)

http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=12200 It's all in there.

Surely you burn the content of CD1 to 1 disc, then the content of CD2 to another and so on? As for making it bootable, that would depend on what system it uses for booting. Is it a copy of the normal Windows Vista install disc boot method (boot folder with etfsboot.com file) or does it use isolinux etc?

You can't, Wii discs are copy protected.

If your drive errors out 3 for 3, consider cleaning it with a cleaning disc / trying the other supported write speeds / using some discs from another spindle.

1st and only failure? Ignore it and try another disc.

I assume you know what unchecking that box actually does? The % stuff comes from the drive. So if it's inaccurate, it's not ImgBurn's fault. Copy + Paste everything currently in the Log window.

Correct. Right click and 'extract' seems easier though Or mount in a virtual and copy+paste using Explorer... it's all the same thing.

Read it, then write it again. 'Create Image File From Disc' then 'Write Image File To Disc'

At this point I'd probably refer you back to post #4.

Yes, just add the root (D:\ or whatever) to the Source box. Certain pointers will probably have been updated (typically known as 'vts sectors'). ImgBurn would do that again when making a new image so it's not something you need to worry about.

Most new drives can do around 100MB/s sequential transfer... I doubt you'd ever get that over Gigabit network. That aside, your '1270d GH24' drive is probably a Mediatek chipset LiteOn clone whilst the 'iHAS424 Y ZL1U' is an NEC/Optiarc clone. HP don't make drives so you can pretty much just ignore anything they write on their drives! They're all clones of something.

Windows is supposed to send the WM_QUERYENDSESSION and WM_ENDSESSION messages to the application when shutting down/logging off. ImgBurn handles both of those and makes the log window aware that a close event is to be expected. I haven't looked into what's actually happening when that ostrich warning is displayed when it shouldn't be - shutting down is a pain. edit: I have looked into it a bit more now (with the help of a virtual machine) and it seems Windows is sending those messages to the log window directly before sending them to the application as a whole. I will tweak the handling of such messages to workaround the issue.

So did you or did you not get an error in safe mode? I was hoping you wouldn't run into a 'freeze' situation and instead you'd get a proper success/failure message.

Only if you post the log You could just be getting a failure in safe mode because you're using cheapo discs. http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=8000

I can't see any drives on the two systems that match up. If you want to test it properly, use the exact same drive in both machines - and by that I mean physically move it from machine to machine when testing. Try reading a non DVD Video disc too. Some drives reduce their reading speed of DVD Video disc so as to be as quiet as possible when playing films etc. Keep an eye on the buffer levels. You shouldn't have any buffering whilst reading. If you're getting some, think about where you're saving to - is it a network / USB device etc.

Just mount the ISO in a virtual drive and then point ImgBurn's Build mode at it and make another one.

You might also like to try burning in safe mode. Have you tried different USB ports / cables?

The three options in 'Tools' -> 'Drive' -> 'Close' are all that's used internally to close a track/session/disc (aka finalise). Chances are, if it failed at the time of burning, it'll also fail when you try it manually later on. The error you got at the start of the burn doesn't exactly inspire confidence in it anyway.

If it's buffering during a read it means it can't write out to the hdd quickly enough. Post logs from both machines reading the same disc please.

Double check you've got the latest gear driver installed. http://www.gearcdr.com/support/drivers.php Install 'Driver_Installer_x86_x64.exe' and try again. When it gets stuck burning, what happens if you turn the external burner off? Does it then return a proper error?

I think it's related to the postgap being added due to it (the source disc) having been recorded in Track At Once (TAO) mode. I have made some tweaks and got it working ok with discs like that now... now I just need to check everything else still works ok!

Have you tried at their rated speed? i.e. 6x Your thread is basically going to be heading in the same direction as this one - http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=16966 btw, you log isn't showing that the 1.01 firmware has been installed, you're still on 1.00-06.

If the drive never becomes ready, it must mean the drive is having trouble reading and initialising the disc. What sort of disc are you trying to read? Try another one.
