LIGHTNING UK!

It's the 'reason' that's important really. MadFlac is a *.ax file yeah? I believe it goes into the windows\system32 folder.... but it'll need registering too. On a Windows PC that would be done with regsvr32.

If you know in advance that you're going to be backing up to a disc of a fixed size, is it really that hard to just organise your folders that way? i.e. make a folder called '1', when it gets to 700mb / 4.37gb you move onto folder '2'. I've been doing that for years and it hasn't killed me yet! *touch wood*

If the drivers report RAID and you say the bios is set to ATA then you can't have the drive on the right channel. Do you have a 2nd controller on that board? Maybe by jmicron / marvell etc? Your controllers will be in the scsi/raid branch rather than ide ata/atapi one. I assume you've loaded the latest intel inf chipset and matrix drivers?

What's the exact error? Copy + paste the entire contents of the .DVD file.

You might find that nobody has! Have you tried the madFlac ones? What exactly is the error message?

Notice I did mention this in my first post... Your drive is old and simply cannot handle newer media.

If the controller is set to ATA then the Matrix driver wouldn't even install - it's only required for AHCI and RAID modes. Of course I'm not sure how things work if it was installed once upon a time when it was indeed set to one of those modes... perhaps you're allowed to update the driver if it's present on the machine even if it's not currently in use.

I will indeed consider it

It's ok, I know what a messagebox is I just wanted to make sure we were talking about the same thing. You can turn the clunk sound off via 'sounds and audio devices' in control panel.

You'll have to do some Googling if you want access to a USB drive (that's not under BIOS control) in a DOS based environment.

For the most part, IMG and ISO files could be the same thing. Just rename it. ImgBurn doesn't convert from one to the other so even when you say you'll use ImgBurn to perform that task, you can't. Adding that file to the Build mode source box and wrapping it up in a new ISO is NOT the same thing as converting an image file into a different format. So basically, this has nothing to do with ImgBurn at all. Please put your PS / PSP related stuff in a different forum, it doesn't belong here.

Have you tried other speeds from the 'supported' list?

Speed the burn up a bit. You might find your drive is better geared towards burning that media at higher speeds than lower ones.

Do you mean the 'Success' type window?

Nope.

just google 'ape directshow', download and install the filter.

Get both

If you're reading this then you're probably someone that hasn't been clued in just yet as to how bad all the 'cheap' double layer discs are. (or we've told you to read this thread for another reason - read the 5 'options' below!) We see far too many people having problems with RITEK, CMC, RICOH media etc and I can assure you that it isn't just fluke when we suggest the user give Verbatims a try and their issues magically disappear! You get what you pay for in this world and whilst Verbatims might cost you a couple of quid more to start with, you'll be saving in the long run because you won't end up with a stack of coasters! Verbatim DVD+R DL discs are the way forward! (Please note that I said DVD+R DL and not DVD-R DL!!!) Before splashing out on new (better/more expensive) media, you might like to consider your options: Note: The following options actually apply to anyone having problems burning any sort of media. Update the firmware on your drive - right click the drive selection box and click 'Check For Firmware Updates' (or find it in 'Tools' -> 'Drive'). Try cleaning the drive with a cleaning disc (or if you're feeling confident, take it apart and clean it manually). Try burning your current media at all of the write speeds your drive says it supports for that MID (look in the disc info text on the right of the main screen to see what they are). Avoid using slimline laptop style drives - in general, they're rubbish. Buy a new drive that supports your current media better/properly (this is still going to be a bit hit and miss). Verbatim DVD+R DL are currently available in two varietys... Dye: MKM-001-00, Write Speed: 2.4x (often 'overspeed' to 4x, 6x or 8x in modern writers) Dye: MKM-003-00, Write Speed: 8x The 8x ones are newer and some older drives don't really have the firmware tweaks required to burn them. For that reason we recommend you stick to the 2.4x ones where possible as these have been around since the beginning of time! Of course if you're having problems with the 2.4x (MKM-001-00) discs, try the 8x (MKM-003-00) ones instead!

There are loads of places you can buy them from online.... don't give up so easily!

Use Verbatim DVD+R DL 2.4x discs with the MKM-001-00 dye and made in Singapore. All the others are rubbish.

Being branded by TDK means nothing if the disc dye is cheap crap... which PRODISC is. Ditch them and buy some higher quality Verbatim / Taiyo Yuden as suggested earlier.

Are you sure you're not just looking at what the OS is caching? Looks at ImgBurn as a process, I'm sure it won't be using up your RAM at all beyond what it normally does (and that depends on the size of the buffers you've set).

The ones you're showing are just when you open and close the program without doing anything. If you're burning via something else (i.e. DVD Flick) the log will probably be missing those sessions because they're local to that application.

That goes in the log when YOU close the program. It's just so quick that you don't notice it in the log window.

If you're sure the correct controller is set to ATA in the BIOS, the BIOS itself is up-to-date, the firmware on the drive is up-to-date and you've uninstalled your controllers from within Device Manager and rebooted then there's no reason for it not to work. ImgBurn just sticks to the MMC specs so basically any drive will work with it - they too stick to the MMC specs. I had a 212 in my machine for a while and I have the same P35 chipset on my board with the ICH9R, I never experienced and 'hangs' with mine. Have you tried it on a totally clean build? i.e. install the base OS, put the latest intel inf chipset drivers on (and NOTHING else) and then try ImgBurn.
