It's on that page, you just have to pick from one of the 8 'mirror' sites.

The image doesn't fit on a DVD+R DL disc so what you're seeing is perfectly normal and to be expected.

Does it do this every time? I don't think there's anything I can do to see why you're having the problem. The only way to deal with issues like this is to have a program that can capture all the I/O that's going on and see what (if anything) gets stuck. If I/O gets stuck then it's out of my hands.

As it happens, I've already fixed this issue ready for the next release. (* but you'll never really see it) I generally don't mess around with multisession/track (non CD) discs so this problem had gone un-noticed for quite a while. As Read mode can't really be used on multisession/track DVD/HD DVD/BD discs (there's no way to burn them), it has been now blocked from doing so and I've added a prompt suggesting the user should create a new clean (single session/track) image using Build mode. I believe that almost ties in with your suggestion about making an ISO which contains the data as shown in Windows.

Sorry, I've never purchased an actual 'external' burner so I can't help you with that one. The internal drives seem to get better support and more firmware updates. That's why I'd get one of those and a generic enclosure instead.

The default is and always has been 'Auto'. Obviously it would make no sense for it to be anything else (by default) if it doesn't always work! Anyway, glad it's all sorted now and thank you for the donation

If you've got discs that multiavchd burnt (via ImgBurn) that work and discs you've burnt (via ImgBurn) that don't work, compare the folder structure to see what's different. It could be something as simple as including (or not including) the 'certificate' folder.

The enclosure you've linked to is for a little 2.5" hard drive. You need a 5.25" enclosure suitable for optical drives. i.e. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Tempest-5-25-Blu-ray-DVD-RW-Sata-ESATA-USB-Enclosure-/300555082457?pt=UK_Collectables_HardDriveEnclosures_RL&hash=item45fa7a9ad9 It says they ship worldwide... no idea on postage costs to Lithuania though.

I'm sure it's cheaper to buy discs on a spindle rather than buying them individually. What you'd do is buy an external USB enclosure and put a standard desktop drive in it - something like an Optiarc 7260/7280.

Do you get the same issue if you try burning at 3x or 4x ? If it just keeps failing then yeah, you should get another burner - and not another slimline one!

You didn't verify the disc so we can't see if it's actually readable. Assuming it would have been, the issue must be with your source files (and/or the folder structure). ImgBurn just burns 'as-is', so if something doesn't playback your disc, it must be because it can't read the disc itself or doesn't like what's on it. What software did you use to create said AVCHD structure in the first place?

You seem to be missing the point. Your drive doesn't support the discs you're using. If it did, it would be offering more than just '4x' as a supported write speed.

The GH30N is a 16x speed DVD burner and it's only listing 4x as a supported speed for the 'MBI 01RG40' dye/MID... so it probably doesn't have *any* support for that one in its firmware and is using some sort of generic / fallback write strategy - which is failing miserably (hence the unreadable disc).

You've probably messed with the 'Write Mode' option in the settings ('Write' tab). Put it back on Auto. You need to update ImgBurn too. Oh, and install SP1 for Windows 7.

That's another UME02 dye/MID disc. Ideally I need the info from another one.

Right well that's a complete mess Eject and reinsert it a few times to see if it ever looks correct. If it doesn't, try using some better discs. The drive might not like the 'UME02' dye/MID very much. I'd be interested to see a burn log from the 'other' discs you used - and also the disc info from them. If the drive is playing up with all discs, try cleaning it with a cleaning disc or invest in another drive.

With that disc in the drive, switch to Read mode and copy + paste all the disc info from the box on the right please.

It just does the entire disc I'm afraid. Have a look at Exact Audio Copy (EAC).

What filter drivers do you have installed? Use the feature in the tools menu.

You should look at VirtualBox... it's free

I have the 8102 build in VMWare and it definitely has it I'm sooo not a fan of the new 'Metro' interface/app style though so I'm glad they made Windows 7 as good as it is.

That start screen in Win 8 has a button for desktop. It's annoying that the start button on said desktop then takes you back to the start screen though! lol

It doesn't, no. The quickest way would just be to have a cd template in publisher / word or whatever and copy + paste into it.

That depends... In the 'Create CUE File' window there's a little button next to 'Quick OK' that has an image of a notepad on it. Click that once you've added the tracks and it'll show you a basic track listing in notepad or whatever.
