LIGHTNING UK!

Boot into safe mode and see if your system still gets stuck when you attempt to load ImgBurn. Back in 'normal' mode, have you tried uninstalling the IDE/SATA controller from within Device Manager and rebooting?

ImgBurn uses the 'Track Information' values and they're not right either. LTSA is Logical Track Start Address LTS is Logical Track Size So this is just a drive / media combo issue.

Can you copy and paste everything from the disc info box on the right of the main window please?

The program’s verification process would pick up data corruption issues... which is something the drive’s internal one can’t do. It’s up to you really.

Yes, that’s just what happens when the drive burns and defect management is enabled (spare areas are present). The drive verifies as it goes.

Your drive appears to be unable to read the disc. (playing is not the same as reading every sector) Is it dirty / scratched? You may have more luck in a different drive, or if you can get hold of a different disc.

You're talking about the Log window, yes? Enable it again from the 'View' menu at the top of the main window.

Sounds like your machine / drive got stuck. Kill the power to the machine and try burning it again. (Yes, that disc is a write off)

"Data Phase Error" is not a common error... not common at all! In fact, this thread is the only one on the forum that Google finds containing that exact phrase. I wouldn't be surprised if it was down to some sort of communication issue. Google it and see what you think.

The 3rd party mirror sites should all be fine. The only one with the 3rd party offers during installation is from the direct mirror.

I was told by the site admin that ImgBurn was never supposed to have the 'download manager enabled' link on it... but that it is used for some other downloads. I do not see that type of link when I look at the download page, I just see the direct download to the correct file.

I’m guessing the op can read that language though as it must be displaying it in non-English for a reason (os settings).

No threads have ever been locked on this subject. As a ‘new member’ of the forum, you’re only allowed to make new topics, you can’t reply to (hijack) existing ones. It’s always been that way here. Please forgive me, I don’t understand the language your screenshot is in, but I’m pretty sure something on it says something like ‘click here to customise the installation’ - and that’s something you do for each of the apps you’re being offered. You may call it hostility, I call it bored of answering the same question(s) or being made to explain myself over and over again. People can search, people can read, people have options, nothing is forced upon you. The setup file available from the direct mirror isn’t ‘infected’, it simply uses a 3rd party plugin within the wizard that offers 3rd party software. Opt out of installing the software if you aren’t interested in what it’s offering you and move on.

I'd imagine it's just something in the hardware/firmware.

Go for a reboot. Windows doesn’t always notice the disc contents have changed. Windows 10 definitely supports all current udf versions.

They’re the cheaper LTH verbatim discs rather than the normal HTL ones. I don’t believe M-Disc stuff is involved here.

Opencandy shut down in July 2016 I believe. All of the 3rd party mirror sites should be hosting a 100% ‘clean’ version of the installer. I certainly haven’t ‘wrapped’ anything.

Sorry, it’s not something I can detect. Really that’s down to the OS to block it / lock the drive as I do when burning is in progress.

You have the ‘end of the world’ problem. http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?/topic/6376-How-to-deal-with-%27The-End-of-The-World%27-problem-in-ImgBurn

Have you checked the speed of your hdd is still what it’s meant to be?

http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?/topic/4799-buffer-recovery-threshold/ Does that help? I’m not in a position to check the exact details but I’d assume it’s the number of I/O requests that are queued up for processing - at a driver level. If the queue is too long, it means your drive is being overworked and can’t keep up.

Isn’t it just preallocating the destination file disc space? It sounds like that’s the message you’re seeing flash up in the status bar.

Don’t confuse disc images with picture images. When you see images mentioned alongside a burning tool, it’s probably talking about disc images. There’s no special way of burning picture images with ImgBurn. All you can do is write a data disc in build mode and add all of your picture files to the disc. After that, it’s down to your playback device. Most half decent ones will play them in a slideshow format. That’s something you’d have to try out for yourself. There may also be software out there that will take a folder full of pictures and convert it to DVD Video format. The output (video_ts folder) from that software can then be burnt to disc using ImgBurn.

Right, so your actual suggestion is to have a CD-TEXT editor. That’s all I needed to see / know. Your original post missed that key bit of info.

I'm not really sure what the actual suggestion was though. The program supports CD-TEXT and you can create a cue file by dragging in your audio files, filling out the CD-TEXT info as you go.
