LIGHTNING UK!

Sounds like a problem with your drive / media.

I did mention in post number 2 not to use rewritable discs, the burn is never as good as one you'd get from write once media.

Most MDS files now just list a '*' for the image file name so if you rename the MDS it'll look for an image file of the same name (with an iso extension or whatever).

The best thing you can do is get yourself a decent external drive. Laptop ones are never any good and I guess yours is particularly bad.

Yeah and the link is in there if you just remove the | character!

Try some Verbatim DVD+R's or some Taiyo Yuden 8x DVD-R's (TYG02 dye)

We can't do anything without a log. That said, if the drive isn't working it's probably easier to just buy a new one rather than keep on wasting expensive DL discs (which are DVD+R DL btw, not DVD+RW DL).

Probably another nvidia controller, their drivers introduce bogus errors.

Try it, you get 30 days.

They will have.

Where were the verbatims made? Singapore? India? Either way, your drive doesn't like them. If they're from Singapore you should consider buying a new drive. If they're not you should consider getting some made there instead (as they're the best).

slakkre, The bit in blue within my post is my 'signature' and it's automatically appended to every post I make. It wasn't directed at you and yes you did post in the forum

For me, the top link in Google when searching for 'l3codecx.ax 1.9.0.311' works perfectly fine.... you will have to improvise a bit though.

It'll probably be a case of either: 1. Buying media your drive supports 2. Buying a drive that can actually burn DVDs (rather than just read them or burn to CDs).

Yeah and limit it to 8x or 12x for burning.

What does it say in the status bar?

The disc that works has been left 'open', maybe that's got something to do with it too.

Not really, no.

It's probably just too old for those discs, get some Verbatim 2.4x MKM-001-00 dye ones instead. They were probably the first ones to come out so if the drive supports anything it'll support those.

Your player probably wants the Joliet file system so just make sure that's one of the ones present in the image/on the disc by changing the 'File System' option.

What dye is used on the disc that does work? Does the player give an error message when it tries to read the disc you burnt there? Have you tried burning at 8x or 12x? Slower isn't always better.

That's the sole purpose of that guide... to make a CD-DA disc that plays in normal bog standard CD players.

The other checkbox to the side of that one will auto-ignore (same as 'continue') the error... just to save you from doing it manually

Is it a USB 2.0 port? You might have buy a decent PCMCIA -> USB 2.0 card before you can run the drive properly.

Going by what you've told us about the files present in the folder, it's an incomplete set of IFO/VOB/BUP files. You can't just take certain ones and expect it to work, the disc must be authored properly. The fact that the raw VOB files will play doesn't mean anything. The only logging is put into the log window.
