LIGHTNING UK!

I don't set it on any sort or ratio, I just don't see a point in having a huge software buffer. I also don't like telling people NOT to have one so the option is there if they want it.

ImgBurn won't do a video cd from an nrg file. (I don't have the nrg file specs to understand all the stuff in them) It'll only work from a bin/cue file.

Had you modified the .dvd files at all? There's no point in them being there if they're messed up and I bet they must have been ok at some point.

I think you'll find that's not for the 216

You've been burning them as files having selected the 'profile' or whatever to build an Audio CD. ImgBurn doesn't have any option like that (at the moment) and the only way to do it currently is via what's known as a 'cue sheet'.

Ah not a true vob file then, you've just used that tool to fudge an mkv into one Can the ps3 play those files from a bdre too? It might be worth you investing in a bluray writer and using a 25gb disc where you then wouldn't run into 'layer' issues. If you must stick to using DL discs, make sure they're Verbatim 2.4x DVD+R DL ones (MKM-001-00 dye, made in Singapore).

There's normally an error before the 'Invalid Address For Write' one and it's that one you should be paying attention to.

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.
