LIGHTNING UK!

The dates are within the file system INSIDE the ISO. The date you see in 'properties' within Explorer is something totally different.

Wow, did you actually read all that mmalves?! I've just looked and all I saw was a solid block of text with no real formatting... yuk!

Did you burn the WAVs as per the Audio CD guide in the Guides forum? If not, I expect that's why you're having problems.

Yeah but that could take all day if there are lots of images! It's pretty simple to build up a batch file using a list of image file names and once you've set it going you can go back to normal life!

You chosing 1x would have meant the drive used 2.4x anyway as that's the nearest speed it supported. Try at 4x or 6x. Verbs are deffo the way to go though.

make some IFO files for the vob using IfoEdit or something and then 'shrink' it to fit on a single layer disc. You'll lose some quality but at least it won't skip / corrupt.

Ok, enjoy that 'known to be buggy' version.

No because it depends on which command is reporting the info and which bit of info the software relies upon.

This is the ImgBurn forum.... i.e. for questions related to burning discs using ImgBurn. Try a find a more suitable forum for your 'bluray ripping / stripping' stuff, this isn't the place to be asking such questions.

If the firmware update doesn't make it work, try burning at one/all of the other available write speeds. If they still don't work, it's probably time to get yourself a new drive (althought you could try cleaning it first).

Unless their player actually supports divx then burning divx (avi) files won't work - you'll need to convert the files to DVD Video format using something like DVD Flick or ConvertXtoDVD. The defaults work fine but if you're burning AVI files for use on a standalone player you should probably change the 'File System' selection to ISO9660/Joliet as that's what most players will probably prefer. (I doubt they'll read UDF at all for non DVD Video discs)

We don't have a bluray guide but never mind The log is saved automatically even if the burn was successful. Just look in the Help menu.

Please read the guides forum, I made one for burning Audio CD's.

I expect mmalves meant do you have it on an intel / nvidia / silicon image / jmicron etc controller? (ie. which one out of those I've just listed)

I explained what it does in post 2. I runs a dummy decode pass on the file (i.e. exactly what happens during the burn) so that it can get the *accurate* total decoded length of the file and not have to use DirectShow's guestimate and then pad / crop sectors to make it fit with the cue sheet that's been sent to the drive prior to burning (i.e. how many sectors the drive is expecting for each track). Whilst I *could* do away with it for wav files already in CD-DA format (44khz, 16bit, strereo etc), at the moment I haven't made any special exceptions like that. The same routine is called for all the audio files that ImgBurn supports. There's no way to 'turn it off' or I'd have already mentioned how to do it.

ImgBurn is simply telling you what your drive has reported - i.e. it's the drive / firmware that's at fault here. Just ignore the overburn prompt and I'm sure everything will work out just fine. I've no problems on a 216 with that MID. PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-216 1.09 (ATA) Current Profile: CD-R Disc Information: Status: Empty Erasable: No Free Sectors: 359,845 Free Space: 736,962,560 bytes Free Time: 79:59:70 (MM:SS:FF) Supported Write Speeds: 4x, 10x, 16x, 24x, 32x, 40x ATIP Information: Start Time of LeadIn (MID): 97m24s01f Last Possible Start Time of LeadOut: 79m59s72f

As a freeware alternative, install Virtual CloneDrive. There are CLI options to mount the image, then just use a simple DOS 'Copy' routine to move the files elsewhere. Mount the next image and repeat. 7-zip might still be easier though as you can make it extract all the files to a folder with the same name as the ISO. So assuming you've given them nice names it'll make the folders easier to work with.

1. As you have probably now read, the media stuff is for the program to work out when a double layer disc (and hence a layer break) is required, nothing more. Build on the fly (i.e. where 'Output' is set to 'Device') and it'll go by the media in the drive. 2. Boot images don't have a name and all the info you need to faithfully reproduce its details is put into the log when you extract it. The next version even asks you if you want to reuse all the info from the place you extracted the image and fill out the fields for you. It doesn't get any better than that.

That log doesn't show any error. Is your drive old? That media should do 16x speed so I guess it must be as it's only offering up to 8x. As such you might have better luck with 8x (older) media. Try some Taiyo Yuden DVD-R with the TYG02 dye.

Memorex don't really make discs, they just use the dye made by some other company and stick their name on it. Unless you're using MKM-001-00 or MKM-003-00 dye (which is all Verbatims use) discs, they're regarded as 'low quality' by most people that provide support rather than ask for it.

Just so long as you're aware that the brand name stamped on a disc doesn't mean anything. It's the dye they're using that's important - and in this last case that was 'RITEK-S04-66'.

The 500 changes is a hardware thing. NEC probably added it so the chip that has to be flashed/changed/programmed doesn't die. As corny said though, you pick the option you want - i.e. DVD-ROM or DVD+R and just leave it at that. I can't see any reason to keep changing if the drive should booktype to DVD-ROM or not.

Multiple simultaneous (and therefore 'random') access kills hdd transfer speeds. You really want to avoid any other disk I/O on the same physical drive that you're burning from.

If you have a problem burning with ImgBurn, please tell us exactly what the problem is and include a copy of the log file showing you burning (and verifying). If you have a problem with anything else, it probably doesn't belong on this forum.

I'm sure you must be able to cross flash it to the real LG firmware, check with the peeps on the forum at cdfreaks.com
