LIGHTNING UK!

I had another look at this today with a disc I have that goes from 14GB down to 4.37GB. It worked just fine on that and it's got almost 200,000 files! So basically, it's now down to you because I'm happy it's working as it should do.

It already does.

isn't there another FS it can read? Even if it's not a standard windows one. Or get yourself a bluray burner and play from BDRE.

Nope, sorry. If the program doesn't throw up an error when it calls the VirtualAlloc API function to allocate the memory then as far as it knows, everything is fine. If the machine then has problems with me trying to write to the allocated memory I'm afraid it's out of my hands. Have a play around and try to work out the limit for what you can set it to. Personally I've never seen a need to go over the default value. You could also try running memtest+ for a few hours / passes.

Typically, the MKV's I see mentioned in various forums contain Hi Def 720 / 1080p content. If you convert them to DVD Video or Xvid/DivX format you will of course be losing a lot of the quality.

ImgBurn /mode build /output imagefile /src "C:\Folder1\" /dest "C:\Image1.iso" ImgBurn /mode build /output imagefile /src "C:\Folder2\" /dest "C:\Image2.iso" Something like that should work.

Why are you using Build mode? ImgBurn cannot 'Build' discs for the xbox from the raw files - and to be honest I'm not sure how you ever even got the raw files!

MCC-004-00 (from Verbatim - right? Any other brand are probably the ones that didn't meet up to Verbatim's standards) are one of the best dyes available. There are 3 things that go towards making a decent burn... the drive, the firmware on the drive and the media. I'd be amazed if your drive really couldn't burn such top quality media when told to do so at a more realistic/decent speed.

If the original disc has mp3's on it, it's not the same as a true Audio CD. There's no such thing as an Audio DVD in the sense that it'll play exactly like an Audio CD would in your standalone CD player. The Audio DVD's that do exist are a totally different format and you need special authoring packages to make them. What you need to do (if you really want a true CD-DA Audio CD) is to split the songs up onto multiple CD's. With MP3 being a compress format, you can fit loads on a CD but to play them back you need a player that supports MP3. Those types of discs are just burnt as data discs in Build mode.

Burn faster... i.e 8x or something. Slower doesn't always equal better quality, especially if the drive has been designed to burn the discs at faster speeds rather than slower.

'mp3' is too short for a search term. Most of them need at least 4 characters.

You should tell ImgBurn not to retry when finalisation fails and to just ignore the error, then the disc should work ok in your player.

What makes you think it's empty? You know that any OS before Vista needs a special driver to be able to read/understand UDF 2.50 yeah?

Nope

What exactly were you changing?!

post the log.

The default settings are the best anyway, that's why they're the defaults! That said, if your hardware was behaving itself properly, there's nothing you could change to actually stop it from working.

On the server I guess.

Don't forget to burn AND verify!

That top one looks very much like it would have been the designated LB cell on the original. You can't just go by the LBA as that's always subject to change depending on padding used within the file system - even originals use padding sometimes. You can use ImgBurn to show you the pgc, cell etc of the source disc. Just look in the Tools -> Drive menu. Or use Tools -> ISO... on the source image file (if you made one)

Does the status bar actually say it's deleting the buffer? If not, what does it say?

What error message do you get when you try? Maybe the drive just doesn't support it at all.... time to invest in a new one maybe?

The log windows opens by default on a fresh install, so obviously it was closed somewhere along the line. I recommend you keep it open as I use it to tell you things! Make sure you verify your burns by ticking the 'Verify' box just above where the 'Go' button is. This is very important when you think you're having issues.

It's the drivers that are getting stuck here (hence why the entire machine is unresponsive), not ImgBurn. Hopefully that tells you where the issue is!

It's a dell machine yeah? Use 10GE instead. http://support.euro.dell.com/support/downl...mp;fileid=73793
