LIGHTNING UK!

Use Opti Drive Control to do a disc quality scan (at 4x, 6x, 8x) on that disc. Then post a screenshot of the results please. Remember you are burning that BD-R at maximum speed there - it's unlikely to produce great results.

The length of labels has nothing to do with anything. The drive doesn't know or care about what you're burning... data is data. If you have a problem, post a log so we can see what's going on.

The disc might be ok in some drives but yours certainly can't read it. Before classing it as faulty, you'd probably need to try it in a few others.

You can get one from just about any online computer store. Try an Optiarc 7260 or 7280. You can get them for about £20 (I got a 7280 for £20.27 off ebay a few weeks ago) If you want to research their burning capabilities with the media you use, head over to the MyCE forums and read the threads covering those drives.

It may have appeared to burn ok but the disc still failed verification - probably due to it still appearing blank - meaning the drive did a bad job of burning it. You could go either route now really... try a few more burns at different speeds and see if any come out ok OR, get yourself a new drive (research before buying!). edit: ok, you've already tried the other speeds - new drive it is then

What type of disc is it that you're trying to copy? CD or DVD? The program creates the CUE/MDS files itself and they're always named as such. They're just tiny files containing info about the image data (stored in the ISO/BIN). So leave the destination file name extension (type) as whatever ImgBurn sets it to in the first place. It has good reason for going with whatever it goes with When you switch to Write mode to burn the image you just created, right click the little yellow folder icon 'browse for file' button and you'll get a list of recently used files. You should find the image you just created right at the top of the list.

AWS doesn't mean anything unless you actually configure the 'Automatic Write Speed' feature. As such, your discs are burning at max speed - 10x in your case. Try at the other supported speeds... start with 4x and then try the remaining ones. Your drive is a few years old now, it might benefit from being cleaned with a cleaning disc or something.

My virtual XP SP3 install seems to use v1.6.0.52 and that had no problem with it. Any chance you could confirm the version installed on your brother's PC?

Yes, that's correct.

If you don't mind me asking, what did you actually do with this 1 click? From what I can see, there's no 'remove spashscreen' button in the program.

As has been said time and time again, it's only visible whilst the program is busy loading in the background. I only see it for a second or two. The program deals with CLI stuff AFTER the splashscreen has been displayed (and whilst it's still visible), so it's not possible for me to disable it via CLI switches. If you've hacked about with the exe (hopefully not damaging anything else), and stopped it from being shown then that's great.

The same applies in both situations. A retry, even if successful, is never really a good sign. Drives are cheap now, it might be worth trying another one.

Nope, it's just a name and doesn't change the actual file.

There's no such thing as an NTI iso. An ISO is an ISO. You've probably just got some NTI application installed and that's the application you've got configured to work with ISO files. You can associate the ISO files with another application (ImgBurn for example) if you prefer. That of course doesn't then make them ImgBurn ISO files

You don't play Blu-ray discs by clicking on files in the stream folder. If it doesn't show up as an AVCHD/Blu-ray video disc (and I guess it's not if it thinks it's a data disc), there's something wrong with your source files/folder structure. I don't know what the PS3 looks for (or doesn't) when deciding, but I'm sure it's been covered before somewhere if you Google it. Try using multiAVCHD instead.

Post the log please - as per the pink box up the top. I'll remove the picture as it's a waste of time.

It could be any or none of those. If you'd burnt several other discs before that one without a problem, it was probably just a bad disc. Of course it could also be related to temperature - the drive getting too hot. It wasn't a software issue, it was a hardware issue. It's physically readable in that drive... that doesn't mean it'll work everywhere. Failures at the point of closing the disc sometimes means other drives won't be able to initialise the disc (read it properly).

The software has nothing to do with, it's a hardware error. Your drive has supposedly burnt the disc ok, but the disc still just looks blank after the tray has been cycled and Verify is about to start - hence the error.

You seem to be burning and verifying at 1x... so either your machine has a problem or your drive does. Try following the DMA post in the FAQ and uninstalling the 'controller' entries from under the 'IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers' branch in device manager - then reboot. Or try using the 'Reset DMA' feature in ImgBurn's Tools menu.

Post the whole log please. It looks like your drive is just doing a bad job of burning those discs. Slimline drives don't make for good burners. Try selecting one of the slower supported write speeds. Cleaning the drive with a cleaning disc may help too. Did the problem start when you got a new spindle of discs? Maybe they're faulty or not quite identical to your last ones.

It burnt fine and verified fine... so I'll refer you back to this... http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=12200

An ISO is just an ISO - its contents don't really matter... it'll burn fine.

Sorry, that type of formatting isn't possible with ImgBurn.

I honestly have no idea. Maybe it's due to some other software you've both got installed on your PCs. All I know is that ImgBurn isn't making that folder or renaming your other ones to it.
