LIGHTNING UK!

You only think it's weird because you clearly haven't done any reading around/homework/research on that stuff in a long time. Knowledge about anything technical goes out of date very quickly. If you don't keep up with it you just revert to 'n00b' status.

On an unrelated note, there's a newer firmware available for your drive. http://www.firmwarehq.com/Lite-On/iHAS322%2B8/files.html

No such thing exists for Blu-ray. It was a flag set in IFO files and of course they don't exist unless it's a DVD Video compilation. If you're getting a pause with Blu-ray content on DVD then it's down to your player not using a sufficiently large buffer (or a difficult to read disc).

Show me a log where you've actually selected the 'Truncate' option rather than the 'Overburn' one.

That's the sole purpose of the pinned topic dealing with language file differences

I'm not seeing any attempt to 'truncate' in that log, just 2 attempts at overburning - which I'd expect to fail and it's therefore perfectly normal that it is/does.

Can you provide a screenshot of what you've actually got (from the camera) file/folder wise?

Why and where would such an option be useful?

Nope.

You should install the latest ImgBurn. What you're doing (reading a multisession/track DVD disc) will never work with previous versions of the program.

Ok so if it's intel you probably need to install the latest Intel Rapid Storage Tech drivers.

Update the drive's firmware. http://www.firmwarehq.com/Samsung/SH-S223C/files.html 2x isn't a supported write speed for your drive/firmware/media combo. Because of that, the drive would be using 4x - but 4x might not be the optimal speed for your drive/firmware/media combo. What controller is that drive connected to? Who makes it? Intel, AMD, Marvell etc. The drivers for it are blocking the booktype command. Updated drivers may fix that. btw, different versions of the program don't make your drive better or worse at burning a disc. Burning just doesn't work like that.

Try enabling the 'Perform OPC Before Write' option. I know exactly which commands CloneCD sends before a burn starts and that's one of 2 that ImgBurn doesn't also send (by default anyway).

Changing colours/shades probably means the laser power is going up and down during the burn - in an attempt to improve burn quality. All you can really do in situations like this is to (Disc Quality) scan the discs using Opti Drive Control and an appropriate Blu-ray drive (something by Lite-On) and make sure no part of the disc has really high error rates - which, over time, could turn into physical read errors (where ImgBurn's Verify phase would then fail).

No, it doesn't do raw reading/writing at all.

There's just no point in doing anything more than I've already done (allowing the configuration of software and hardware retries). SafeDisc is obviously a form of copy protection and ImgBurn will never do anything to get round that. For the odd few discs that are genuinely damaged and cannot be read by normal means, there are purpose built programs for the job - e.g. IsoPuzzle (as mentioned earlier)

Is it a DVD Video disc? (So there's a VIDEO_TS folder on the disc?) What you need is a program that can go from whatever you've got now (the format of the original disc and nothing to do with 'ISO' files) to one of formats YouTube supports. When you figure out what format the disc is in, the rest should be easy to Google.

ISO files are for burning to disc, you don't put them on YouTube. You've probably gone about things the wrong way. What's on the disc in the first place?

I believe the drives use a different laser for CD/DVD burns to BD ones, so one working and the other not working is perfectly possible. Anything is possible. There's no magic fix for when a drive keeps failing to burn discs, you just have to try and bunch of things (media, firmware, write speed, actual drive etc) until you find a combination that works.

Make your own thread please. Post a log of the burn + verify process. We can't help without it.

You just install over the top of the old one. Yes, your settings are preserved (unless it's not technically possible with one or two).

http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=8000 Slim drives are a waste of time. Never use one by choice.

Thanks, uploaded to website.

Do you have any discs that aren't using the 'PHILIP-R04-000' dye? You need to try the drive with a different one (the higher quality the better) and see if it has the same problem. If it does, the drive might need cleaning - or it could have developed a fault. The logs show you've tried burning at 4x and 6x... it might be worth trying the other supported speeds too. Hopefully each attempt shown in the log was with a new disc and not trying to reuse the same one over and over again.

BlackDex, Just got the bug report you sent and have fixed the crash issue when 'Optimise Duplicate Files' has been enabled.
