LIGHTNING UK!

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.

It doesn't appear to be stuck on anything, what does the status bar say?

Get yourself a copy of Acronis True Image. ImgBurn is not a hdd backup tool.

The next one looks exactly the same as all the previous versions. If you don't like the interface there are plenty of alternatives.

Ok, Intel Chipset drivers can be found here: http://www.intel.com/support/chipsets/inf/ Intel Matrix drivers can be found here: (but only apply if you're in AHCI or RAID modes - they won't do any hard, they just won't install) http://support.intel.com/support/chipsets/imsm/ The standard dual channel thing is probably a jmicron controller. Drivers for that can be found here: ftp://driver.jmicron.com.tw/jmb36x/Win2k_xp_Vista/

Delete the controller from the ide / ata / atapi branch within Device manager. Make note of the name of the controller entry first though and let us know what it says - or get a screenshot. You'll probably need either Intel or nvidia drivers as they're the most common chipsets in use these days.

Set ImgBurn back to using the SPTI I/O interface too, ASPI is very outdated.

Go with whatever works for you then.

If you're off the front page I wouldn't ever see it. I'm sure it should be able to write them so I guess you have either a dodgy batch of discs or a dodgy drive.

Did you delete the .dvd file? If so, that was silly.

Have you recently updated your drivers or anything? Windows is returning an error code so it's not even from the drive itself. What controller is your drive attached to?

Yeah but that could just be a media issue. I have an nforce4 board too and it works fine when everything is configured correctly.

I'm amazed that a TYG02 is unreadable, they're all I ever really use and I've never had a single problem with them. Are you sure the surface isn't damaged? Pretty much all you can do is try the disc in every drive you can lay your hands on and hope one of them can read it properly. You might like to slow the read speed down too, sometimes that can help.

Nope.

I think you just hold CTRL down to make it do number 1. The same applies when dragging to the 'Source' box when you're in write mode. Don't forget that the drop zone also works for Build mode so even without number 1, it's unfair to call it useless.

Yes it's being worked on as time and motivation permits.

That depends on if it's running the RAID bios or the 'base' one really. Either way, make sure your motherboard bios is up-to-date as that'll no doubt update the Sil one too.

Back on the main screen in read mode, please copy + paste the disc info from the right hand side when that disc is in the drive. Update the firmware on your drive first though please. You should be on 1.04 now. http://www.sony-optiarc.eu/en/support-serv...-ad-series.html Just scroll down to the 7173 P-ATA model.

I very much doubt it's anything different to opening 10 instances yourself. The chances of you having a storage array that can keep up with 10 parallel accesses to 1 image file are slim to none though so you'd end up burning at about 0.1x speed.
