LIGHTNING UK!

indeed it is.

Burning it as an Audio CD will convert it to normal CD-DA format. i.e. 44khz, 16bit, stereo. I do not know the method used to make these so called DTS Audio CDs.

Whenever you start it? The optional 3rd party apps are only offered by the installer hosted by the direct ImgBurn mirror and they've nothing to do with the app itself. The other mirrors were all given totally clean setup files to host. What they do outside of that is out of my control.

It's DVD-R (write once) media, you can't format or erase them... or at least not in the sense you're trying to do it within ImgBurn.

There’s a button in the source box when you’re in write mode that’ll open up the queue window. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

It’s a burning tool. Not sure why it would take you 2 hours to figure that out. The clue is in the name.

It means the drive wasn't 'ready'... and then it became 'ready'. 'Ready' is when it'll start to process media related commands. That shouldn't be happening mid-burn though

Your drive must have an issue with the 'RITEKF1' media you're using. Try some different discs.

Windows media player doesn’t read them without the use of a 3rd party plugin. http://bmproductions.fixnum.org/moreprogs/wmpcdtext.htm

I'm pretty sure you can do basic mounting of images with DT Lite - for free. It certainly let me when I just tried it.

Ignore the ISO. You wouldn't have an ISO *and* MDS/MDF for the same disc. The MDS/MDF will be the better option. Yes, I mean mounting to a virtual drive. Download and install DAEMON Tools. There's a free version. They developed (or co-developed) the MDS format, so it's the best way of dealing with those types of images.

Mount the mds in daemon tools, fire up ImgBurn and go into Read mode. Point it at the virtual drive and then copy+paste everything from the disc info box on the right. The iso probably came from a bad attempt at converting the mds/mdf. Don’t just use the mdf on it’s own, it belongs with the mds and the mds is the one you pick when mounting or burning.

As you've only burnt 1.5MiB to a disc, the drive will be there for ages padding it out to 1GiB I expect. All disc formats are supported by the program.

I'm not sure why DAEMON Tools is returning that error. It seems there's something wrong with it or the image. ImgBurn doesn't try and certain sectors in a certain format, it's meant to be able to read them no matter which format they're in - so the 'illegal mode for this track' error code shouldn't be coming up. Try burning the original CUE and then creating a new CUE/BIN from the actual disc.

If you just want the file backed up on a disc m, use Build mode. “Write files/folders to disc”

Just load the program, click the 'write image file to disc' button (go into Write mode) and then select the MDS file as the source file. If you get an error when you burn, post the log so we can see what you're talking about.

Aah, another user that read or watched something about the magical 73MiB buffer setting that fixes all problems! Oh wait, it didn't work?! That's because it's complete nonsense. So besides resetting your settings to the default values and ignoring the rubbish people say will fix your problem, do what the guys above have said and invest in some decent discs your drive can burn nicely.

Maybe your issues were nothing to do with me? Your software related ones I mean - it's obvious you have other issues beyond just those.

That wasn't caused by any sort of official installer. Maybe you clicked on an advert or something and ended up with something else?

I guess buffering takes care of any slowdown in actual transfer rate and there's nothing in the playback of such discs that makes it pause based on anything like a seamless flag.

There's no conversion at all. Putting stuff into an ISO is just like putting things in a big box. The contents are the same.

When in Build mode, click the 'Advanced' tab and then the 'Media' one. Set the single layer profile to 'Custom' and then enter something larger for 'Maximum Sectors' - something like 4173824 would do the trick (the size of a DVD+R DL disc). Just don't forget to set it back to DVD-R or DVD+R before you build an image you actually want to burn to disc.

Put this code in a bach file, copy it to your X:\Movies folder and then try running it. Adjust the /DEST bit according to where the output folder is - I set it to "X:\Movies" @for /d %%i in (*.*) do "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\ImgBurn\ImgBurn.exe" /MODE BUILD /BUILDINPUTMODE STANDARD /BUILDOUTPUTMODE IMAGEFILE /SRC "%%i\" /DEST "X:\Output\%%i.iso" /FILESYSTEM "ISO9660 + UDF" /UDFREVISION "1.02" /VOLUMELABEL "%%i" /PRESERVEFULLPATHNAMES NO /ROOTFOLDER YES /NOIMAGEDETAILS /START /CLOSESUCCESS

I think you'll find you're wrong. It's not like I check the installer every day to see what the plugin is doing, but last time I checked, there was most definitely a way to opt out of installing the offers. On top of that, only 1 of the 7 mirrors even has the plugin within the installer.

What I’m trying to see is exactly when this problem occurs. If you create the cue and the info within the file itself doesn’t match with what you think should be in it, that’s very different from things getting jumbled up during the burn or after it’s been burnt. So unfortunately, I need lots of info from all stages of the process. Screenshots of the cue creation part, the created cue itself, a log from the burn + verification process and then a final screenshot of the media info window when you’re in Read mode.
