LIGHTNING UK!

I use the plain text one myself. Just copy and paste all of it.

Can you open the mpeg2 file in MediaInfo and give us some more details about it? Maybe it's not compliant with DVD Video specs and therefore *needs* to be reencoded. I don't know if ConvertXtoDVD actually supports a 'passthrough' / 'stream copy' type feature whereby no encoding takes place, but configuring the Encoding options to 'Short project', Target size to DVD-9 and enabling two pass encoding is probably all you can do. A quick google search suggests DVDStyler can do what you're after (use mpeg without reencoding) - http://www.dvdstyler.org/en/ Please check the FAQ on their website though - http://sourceforge.net/p/dvdstyler/wiki/FAQVob/

You'd just need to configure the target so it knows you're aiming for DL media rather than SL. It'll be in the options somewhere, just hunt around.

Try DVD Flick or ConvertXtoDVD to get it in DVD Video format.

You could copy and paste the relevant bit? The log can be opened in notepad. The other option would be to upload it online somewhere.

Try writing at 4x rather than max (8x).

As per the pink box up the top, please post the log.

Ok, so your drive doesn't like the media you're using then. Or it's broken / needs cleaning.

Being on 100% buffer isn't an issue. If it doesn't appear to be doing much (the status bar at the bottom of the main window tells you what's going on), you've probably got hardware (drive/media combo) issues. Next time it gets stuck, make note of the status bar message and put it in a reply here on the forum along with the log. Just copy + paste everything from the Log window please.

I've only tried the images with Daemon tools. I do not know if other virtual drive tools will mount them correctly.

The files can only be used together - as in you mount the mds and the i00 and i01 files are pulled into the equation automatically. It will not 'span' images/discs, which I assume is what you're actually after.

I did say it was readable at that *moment in time*. If you'd fired up Explorer and tried to browse the disc straight after it had verified (without ejecting / reinserting the disc again), the files should have shown up. It's impossible to predict other 'weird goings on' related to media being used.

Verify wouldn't pass if the disc was unreadable. That's not to say the drive couldn't burn, eject, reinsert, recognise the disc and successfully verify it, eject, reinsert and then fail to recognise the disc. If verify passes, at that specific moment in time, it was fine. It just means it's fluke if your burner will see the disc or not. If it worked the first time, chances are it'll eventually recognise it again if you eject + reinsert enough times.

There's no magic in ImgBurn for this. If the read retries eventually worked, that's down to the drive.

This isn't a bug. If the verify operation succeeds, it shows the disc was read correctly and in full on the drive that burnt it at that moment in time. It doesn't mean it'll be perfectly readable in all drives. To get an idea of the actual quality of the burn, you'd need to PIPO scan it using appropriate hardware. Do not mess with any of the options, they will not help here.

Was this a one off or does your drive always do this?

You can't move the layer break on BD media like you could with DVD+R DL media. Multi layer BD discs are to be treated like a huge single layer disc.

It's impossible for me to answer that. You need a different dye/mid to what you've got now. Dualshock? Isn't that the controller for the PlayStation?!

You didn't change CDs, you used the same 'Disc ID: 97m17s06f, Moser Baer India' so far as I can tell / see. Ignoring that, my previous response covered what to do next.

My answer hasn't changed.

No, it's not a settings issue. Both of the disc ids you've mentioned have been the same. Have you actually tried the other 'supported' speeds? If none of them work, try some totally different discs. Beyond that, it must be an issue with your drive. Try cleaning it or get yourself another one.

Unless you can run it through something that can fix it, no.

No. This is nothing to do with the burning of the disc. It sounds like there's something wrong with the authoring of the original disc.

24 bit files might not be supported by the madflac filter. Hardly any support 24 bit actually. See if you can convert to 16bit in a sound editing program.

The advanced features are just part of a real LiteOn drive's firmware. If the firmware on your drive doesn't support them, I'm afraid you're out of luck. Ignoring that, none of them area anything to do with reading a disc and so won't help you with your problem anyway. If there's no way to crossflash it to a proper LiteOn firmware (check the myce forums for that), you'd be better off returning it and buying another drive.
