LIGHTNING UK!

Use DVD Flick or ConvertXtoDVD to convert your mp4 to DVD Video format (don't worry, you won't lose the sound), then burn it. I have no experience of putting wavs on DVD, I guess the authoring program would need to make up some sort of still video/picture to go with it. You can probably just Google that one.

It says you're running the 1.04 firmware, not 1.05.

Burn one, scan it and see the quality for yourself (if your drive supports it of course).

It should have actually told you that it would fit on a single layer disc - did it not do that?

Can you get hold of some decent Taiyo Yuden DVD-R / Verbatim DVD+R discs to try out? It's a waste of everyone's time trying to troubleshoot with media we know is rubbish.

Put it on a single layer disc.

No idea, full erase is a 2 part process. The first is 100% the drive (i.e. you send it 1 command and it does its thing), the 2nd is just imgburn writing zeroes to all the sectors on the disc. Quick erase just zero fills the first 800. You've nothing to gain by performing a full format twice unless you're going between having spare areas enabled / disabled. You might aswell just use discovery mode to zerofill all the sectors.

Yes, ImgBurn has lots of command line switches that you can use. Take a look at the readme.txt file in the program folder.

Your drive (with its current firmware) simply doesn't support it.

No, take a look at the 'Supported Write Speed' in the disc info on the right.

There's nothing in ImgBurn that makes one type of content work any better than another, it's all down to the source files.

Yes, build mode works with whatever you want to burn to disc - just remember that it doesn't convert anything.

Burning to dvd and converting to a dvd video disc are two very different things. You first need to work out which one you want. Do you want to keep the mp4 file as an mp4 file or do you want a disc that works in all standalone DVD players? As for the wav file, you can only burn that as a data file really (i.e. via Build mode) because DVD's don't support audio in the same way CD's do (i.e. CDDA / CD Audio discs).

The drive is slowing itself down, it's not ImgBurn that's doing it. ImgBurn will always read as quickly as it possibly can. Basically, because the drive can't 'stream' the data off at the rate it wants to, ImgBurn's buffer will no doubt be filling up or something and because the drive has to keep stopping and starting it's just messing things up and the speed then drops to one it *can* stream at. Is your DVD drive on the same channel / cable as the hdd you're writing to? Is the drive correctly connected to the 'master' position on the cable and set as 'master' via the jumper? Have you tried uninstalling your ide controller from within device manager and rebooting?

It's probably more of a windows issue than anything else, I shouldn't worry about it.

What media are you using? DVD-R DL or DVD+R DL? If no LB can be found then you won't get prompted. That could happen if you're using DVD-R DL and nothing lines up nicely. Have you actually tried burning? What does it say in the log when you do? (copy + paste it all please)

If the drive doesn't like the media then there isn't much you can do. You'll have to wait for the next firmware update and hope that it fixes the problem.

Nope, I don't do eye candy (in my program anyway!) Windows themes are fine for me.

Do the source files play? Do the converted files play? (if any conversion is taking place) Do you verify your burns? Have you tried updating the firmware on the drive and buying some decent discs? (Vetbatim or Taiyo Yuden) Where's the log file?

Same difference really. Read mode just writes what it reads to a file. It's all the same commands going to the drive - well 1 command repeated over and over and over again with an increasing address of where to read from on the disc. For the firmware just goto the pioneer download site. http://www.pioneer.eu/eur/content/support/...t/software.html

Try using a DVD-RAM disc, I believe windows has semi native support for those.

You need to look in the Help menu within the program. 'Graph Data' should then be pretty obvious. That said, you appear to have sent the correct file. Ok now you need to go into Verify mode, uncheck the option to verify against and image file and then verify again. I'm guessing it's going slow because your machine can't keep up with doing both at the same time or something - that's why the graph is all over the place. You could try updating the firmware on your drive too. v1.22 is out now.

Are you burning onto DVD+R or DVD-R ? DVD-R sometimes register with more free sectors. That said, DVD+R will sometimes overburn.

It always starts centered over the main window - but the upper co-ordinates should be adjusted so it's not off your screen. Of course if it's on the lower 2 of 4 screens, maybe that's not happening. I don't have a setup like that to try it on.

No idea. Can you post the graph data file? Either the IBG itself or what it looks like when you open it with DVDInfoPro.
