LIGHTNING UK!

If your drive won't burn the media there are normally only 3 things you can do: Drive - clean it or replace it Firmware - update it Media - change it

Every drive is different, media that works in one doesn't have to work in another. Which specific model (and firmware version) do you have?

You probably just had a 'problem' file that directshow didn't work for, hence the ACM fallback method kicks in and that had a bug in the version you were running.

Thank you, fixed for next release.

Any of them. There are lots of sites that review drives and offer support on that type of thing. Might I suggest you start your search at cdfreaks.com

If it's just one file, please email it to the address in the program's 'About' box so I can debug it and see what the issue is.

Are they Mitsubishi branded discs? or branded by Verbatim / someone else? (if so, who?) Your drive is getting on a bit now, have you tried cleaning it? Have you tried discs from another spindle incase you have a duff one?

Fareek, make your own thread instead of hijacking other people's please. Don't forget to post your burn log.

There's not, no.

My reply was indeed sarcastic. Sorry, that's just my sense of humour. Update ImgBurn and that problem will cease to exist.

You can't read xbox games with ImgBurn, they're protected against casual copying.

did not help how? Process explorer didn't find anything? Did you search properly? If so, you probably need the hotfix from microsoft as the 'system' process has an issue where it keeps handles open to the drive. You sould put Vista SP1 on too.

Sorry but this is how it's designed to work and nothing will be changed.

Ok, nothing to remove there so it must be some other issue. Try uninstalling the controller entry from the ide/ata/atapi/raid controller branches in device manager and then rebooting.

Yeah but you've just said it's on a jmicron controller...so that's already a 3rd party card. You won't get an intel board with a proper ide port anymore so you're out of luck. Maybe an sata -> ide converter block would do the trick and then just hook it up to an sata port on the ich9r controller.

Your drive is a CD writer, not a DVD one.

You need to buy a DVD writer, yours can only read DVDs.

ImgBurn only tries to open 'cdrom' devices so unless that's what it emulates, I see no problem here.

This is why I release new versions of the program.

1x doesn't exist on that media. Regardless of what you set the write speed to, the drive will only ever burn them at 2.4x. Any difference in burn quality you *think* you're seeing is, I am afraid, all in your head. The quality of the discs in these cheapo packs seems to vary quite a lot, I expect that's why the odd few work and the rest don't.

Update the firmware on your drive and try again. http://www.liteonit.com/DOWNLOADS/ODD/SHM-...re/DR16HS0E.rar I don't rate your media though, you'd have a better chance with decent stuff by Taiyo Yuden or Verbatim.

It all comes down to the bootloader itself, I've not seen any mention of emulating specific hardware (beyond what's already possible) in the el-torito specs. The zip one is probably just done using the 'None/Custom' format and using the correct boot image file. So anyway, I believe you're barking up the wrong tree.

To be fair, you can't open the queue window when it's on the bit where you're asked to insert another disc. I'd made it like that because it can't handle queue order changes at that point and it was just easier to prevent them from happening rather than to allow them and deal with them quickly. I'm sure I'll revisit that bit of code in the future and do it properly.

Are they genuine TY's or something by the likes of datawrite / datasafe? (i.e. all the ones that didn't quite pass the TY quality tests or whatever!)

I was gonna say, track 4 - index 1 has a time of 0 seconds/frames... and that can't be right.
