LIGHTNING UK!

Those settings aren't anything to do with ImgBurn, they're LiteOn settings (internal to the drive). You can read about them at the LiteOn website (well, in a round-about way anyway) http://www.liteonit.eu/en/smartwrite/smartwrite.html Buy your discs online. They'll be cheaper and you'll be able to get the ones you actually need.

SmartBurn is on by default with LiteOn drives. It's never a good sign for something to fail with default settings! You should try with some decent (Verbatim) media. You're aware that SP3 is out for XP now (and has been for several years) yeah?

All CDs have a Disc ID like that. The Disc ID on a CD is just a copy of the 'Start Time of LeadIn' value (which comes from the ATIP area on the disc). Every manufacturer/type uses a different value and that's how you can tell them apart and figure which manufacturer made them - in your case, CMC Magnetics Corp.

Get some other discs / try cleaning the drive.

It'll be the button saying 'Repeat' on it or that has an arrow going round in a circle. Also, I have to assume you're just burning files in Build mode. That isn't going to create a disc that'll play on a traditional standalone CD player, it'll only work on an 'MP3 capable' CD player - and even that isn't guaranteed! The proper method of creating an Audio CD doesn't prompt to replace a file (track) that already exists in the compilation.

If you've successfully downloaded and installed the drivers from that link I send you, the next step would be to burn+verify a disc and then copy+paste everything from ImgBurn's Log window.

You need to try the drive in another PC that's known to work properly (or on a PCI card that supports optical drives - a Silicon Image 3512 chipset based card for example). It still looks like a driver issue to me. Drives don't really error out without returning a specific error code - so you'd never get 'No additional sense information available'. As such, I'd say the drivers are losing the error code or the error never really existed (from the drive anyway) in the first place. Whilst your BD-RE burn might look ok, it's probably missing data around the sectors where those errors were reported. You should verify the burn to check everything is where it should be.

This is the normal size of a DL disc. Yours is getting messed up due to the 'max' firmware you've got running on the drive. I don't think the modified firmware lets the program set the layer break position when burning outside of the 'normal' limits/capacity of a DVD+R DL disc. If the program says the image you're trying to burn is too big, it's too big. It doesn't make this stuff up Users normally make mistakes when looking at sizes of files etc due to the units being used... the program doesn't have that problem. Do not ignore the prompt to select a layer break position, just pick one of them - use the 'preview' option to see which offering works best.

If 2.5.6.0 is telling you to use Build mode, the discs you've got from previous versions probably aren't very good copies. It would have taken a disc with multiple tracks / sessions and just treated them as one thing. It was wrong to do that and that's why 2.5.6.0 doesn't do it. All you need to do is add the drive letter of your dvd drive (i.e. 'E:\') to the 'Source' box and then click the build button.

There isn't much you can do if your drive just won't burn them. Try all of the supported write speeds and perhaps cleaning the drive with a cleaning disc. Failing that, try with some Taiyo Yuden CDs... they're the best ones.

If your drive can't burn Verbatim discs, try cleaning it or get a new one. No drive should have trouble burning decent discs - which Verbatim are.

It's in the FAQ. http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=59&view=findpost&p=969

Unfortunately, that's usually what it comes down to... buying and trying. If you're lucky, you can sometimes find someone else with your drive posting success with certain media - but your drive isn't very common.

It just seems your drive doesn't like/support the 'CMCMAG-DI6-000' media very well (or at all). Buy some other (better) discs that don't use that MID/dye.

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

Try the AHCI drivers from here. http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/windows/Pages/raid_windows.aspx

Copy + paste sll the disc info from the box on the right please.

The IFOs say there's (or should be) one English subpicture stream (0x20) in the VOB files. You can use VobEdit to see if that's actually true. Not that I'm an expert but I can't see anything that would stop a player's subtitle button from working to display that stream. (there are no UPO's) To enable that one and only subpicture stream by default I'd open the vts_01_0.ifo in IfoEdit, navigate to VTS_PGCITI -> VTS_PGC_1 and change the 5th Pre Command (right click it -> edit command) so it says 'on' rather than 'off'. It should still be stream 0. Who knows what'll happen if the subpicture streams in the vobs don't match up with the ifo though! subpicture stream 0 in the vobs could just be occasional forced ones for foreign (alien) dialogue.

Is it saying that now you're on the JMicron controller or did it say it before? The latest JMicron drivers can be found here - ftp://driver.jmicron.com.tw/SATA_Controller/Windows/ Don't forget about motherboard bios updates, they'll update the JMicron bios too.

All I can suggest is that you try the drivers listed here. http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/windows/Pages/raid_windows.aspx Optical drives don't like RAID mode drivers so if you have the option/ability to get it into AHCI mode, do so.

Not being funny but it looks like you're just trying to make the player enable a certain stream by default when it starts playing the disc. In theory, the 'Subtitle' button on the remote would work if the player knew the subtitle streams existed... and it can't auto enable a stream that doesn't exist. Any chance you could upload the 2 IFO files so we can examine them?

Yes, you can just specify the layer break value in Tools -> Settings -> 'Write' tab. No, you don't have to create a new image. Alternatively, make another MDS file using the feature in the Tools menu and provide that layer break position.

What controller is that drive attached to? This issue is often due to the controller, 'mode' of said controller (in your case, RAID) and the drivers. ImgBurn hasn't hung, it's just waiting for your drive to say it's finished.

Just pick the truncate option when prompted. If that doesn't work in 2.5.6.0, it is working in (the as yet unreleased) 2.5.7.0.

Tools -> Settings -> Sounds Not sure how you missed that.
