LIGHTNING UK!

Slimline drives are all pretty rubbish. Try burning at the other supported write speeds. Try cleaning the drive with a cleaning disc. After that you're left with things like forcing a firmware update to RR09, trying another spindle of discs (make sure they're Verbatims from Singapore) or getting another drive (external half height one).

All the toolbar threads are quite old now - I've rewritten all the toolbar code in the installer since people first mentioned it was installing without consent - it wasn't even really doing it then, but the 'hang' whilst the consent page was displayed made people get click happy and it ended up just flashing by. Nope, none of that toolbar code is anything to do with upgrading from and to certain versions. The installer starts by setting a variable to 0. It can't ever be anything other than 0 unless the toolbar consent page is shown, the checkboxes remain checked and the user clicks the 'Next' button. Only when that variable is set to 1 does the toolbar get installed. There's nothing more I can do to it.

Wow, 2 VIA controllers - that's just bad luck! If no drivers get your machine working correctly, get yourself a Silicon Image chipset (Sil3512) based PCI card and put the drive on that.

You've messed with the eeprom settings... restore them to their default values. (FHT / OHT / OS off, SB on) If your drive still reports a 'Write Error' after that, try enabling Overspeed in the eeprom settings, clear OPC history and then try burning at 4x. After that I'd try some MKM-003-00 discs.

Ah, try using the proper wavpack directshow filter - as per the Audio CD guide. http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=5555 The info is in the 2nd post.

I don't see it as a track 1 issue (a small 'index 0 -> index 1' is ok), it looks like the entire wv file is decoding to some really tiny size. Any idea which decoder your system is using for wavpack files? Open the 'Create CUE File' window from the Tools menu and add the WV file to the 'Layout' box. Then right click the wv file and select 'DirectShow Filter List'. Press CTRL+C whilst the messagebox is on the screen (to copy its contents to the clipboard) and then 'paste' that info into your reply.

open the cue in notepad and copy+paste its contents please.

You need to make it into a proper Blu-ray video structure if the PS3 can't just play M2TS files. You can use something like multiAVCHD for that (or go direct to tsMuxeR).

Fixed in the new 1.3.34 release - or at least it's working ok here now !

Why can't you just stick the file on a usb stick and play it from there? Not saying the sound would work (it still shouldn't) but it's quicker and easier than burning! Use something like mediainfo to find out the format of the audio in the avi. It could be using a codec the PS3 doesn't support.

Yes, I'm quite sure. The audio is in the AVI file and the AVI file on the disc is identical to the one on your hdd.

It looks like a USB 1.0 (rather than 2.0) issue to me. Try another USB port/cable.

This is a problem with the file or the way your ps3 is configured, it's nothing to do with the burning tool. See if you can pick / swap audio streams on the ps3 or something - oh and make sure it supports whatever format is being used in the file.

You can only use Mode 2 on CD. It's not valid on anything else and the program will tell you that (when burning direct to disc). It doesn't matter which file systems you use for computer use but UDF is better for long files names and unicode etc. I wouldn't worry too much about the revision. 1.02 is the most compatible. 2.50/2.60 are better for redundancy and coping with errors (at there's a mirror copy of all the descriptors). Standalone players might want a certain file system for a certain type of disc/content... look in the manual to see what it wants.

Do you actually have a VIA controller on your motherboard or is the drive plugged into a PCI card that uses a VIA controller?

Can you get it off the via controller?

It's never a good sign to get an error and your drive return 'No Additional Sense Information' as the error. What controller is your drive attached to? Right click the drive drop down selection box and click 'Family Tree'. Close the prompt and copy + paste that info from the log window. Please also post the filter driver info - use the feature in the Tools menu. You might find you get better burns at 4x with 'Force HyperTuning' enabled in the EEPROM settings. i.e. as per my findings in this post... http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=18871&view=findpost&p=136519 Look at 'Attempt 8'.

I think you'd have to load the MadDog 2510 2.FA firmware to get bitsetting support.

Read some xbox news sites that deal with this stuff.

Give it one more go at 16x. Have you tried cleaning the drive with a cleaning disc? If it still fails after that, yeah, get yourself another one.

Nope, no setting... it should just work. Your drive is just erroring out with a 'write error' for some reason. Either it doesn't like the discs you've got (were they made in Singapore? look on the packaging) or the drive is just rubbish - as is usually the case with slimline drives. p.s. Service pack 1 is out for Windows 7.

I can't comment on slimline ones - never use them and wouldn't if I had any choice in the matter. For half height, you're pretty much just going to be looking at LG, Pioneer and LiteOn. Head on over to the MyCE forums and see how the latest models by those 3 perform with the sort of discs you're going to buy. There are threads with loads of (disc quality) scans for each of them.

Please don't post sections of the log, we need all of it for a given session.

Update the firmware on your drive. http://www.firmwarehq.com/LG/GGC-H20N/files.html Try burning at the other supported write speeds. Buy better discs - Verbatim or Taiyo Yuden.
