LIGHTNING UK!

ImgBurn's build mode just wasn't designed for that. It's purely meant for burning an existing folder structure 'as-is'.

kandyman, Sorry but that's rubbish. If it's right in the log then it'll be right on the disc. evil, It burns at 2.4x no matter which speed you selelct. It's the only one your drive supports - note the 'Supported Write Speeds' in the Disc Information panel on the right. Your drive is complaining that it can't write to the disc. Maybe the lense is dirty? Laptop drives are pretty shit, period. If cleaning doesn't work, invest in a decent external one.

Because unlike with write once media, the 'track' on a DVD+RW disc is the entire size of the disc, not just the size of the data you've written to it.

Ahh good old Nvidia nForce... THE worst controller/drivers in the world for optical drives! We've been seeing loads of problems with those recently, I guess it's down to their new drivers - or that more people have been buying their boards.

For the sake of a 10-25p disc why not just burn it and then come back to us if it doesn't work?!

There is actually an issue whereby an error can get missed when Immediate I/O is disabled. The error your system is returning is not detailed in the MMC specs so I doubt it's actually coming from the drive itself - it's probably a dodgy controller driver or filter driver. Which controller is your drive hooked up to exactly?

Yes. What exactly is in the 'video' folder? And you have normal ifo/bup/vob files in the 'video_ts' one yeah?

Isn't there an actual option in the PS3 dashboard for loading / installing an OS? You have to partition the drive first too yeah? I know I had no issue getting yellow dog onto mine a few months back.

Is your hard drive ok?!

You can't extract them in 98, it's not supported due to the commands I'm using.

Taken from the 'SHA1SUM' file on that FTP site... Yellow Dog Linux 6.0 for Apple, Sony PS3, and IBM System p 6ebc178539eb4d611f4455fd2c8c7264b5804b82 yellowdog-6.0-DVD-20080205.iso f0862b7442e2f38bd01039ab6a6e28db84fe5ded yellowdog-6.0-DVD-20080207.iso Install something like 'HashTab', right click your iso and click properties. Switch to the hashtab tab and let it calculate the SHA1 value. Then compare that to the one above.

ISO9660 is the wrong file system to be using. Use Joliet and/or UDF. Windows etc will read UDF before Joliet and Joliet before ISO9660.

Your drivers are probably reporting bogus errors, not much I can do about that I'm afraid. RITEKG05 are rubbish too, get yourself some Verbatim / Taiyo Yuden discs as recommend in just about every media related post on every forum.

A new version may have fixed it anyway. The problem wouldn't go away by just reinstalling unless you'd been messing with the settings and set something to a silly value.

I'm in the UK and so probably not the best person to help you find a shop to buy from. One of the other guys will do that.

Your best bet is to leave the settings on their default values (or reset them if you've changed stuff). The only thing you need to adjust is the write speed depending on your drive/media/firmware combo. I find 8x / 12x a good speed for burning.

You have to write a DLL to add icons to the context menus, ImgBurn just uses plain old registry entries.

When you say 'AUTO' you do mean the Write Speed thing yeah? If so, please go and read the Guides forum. Having it set to 'AUTO' means *nothing* if you don't actually take the time to configure it. ('It' being the Automatic Write Speed feature)

They're probably protected against being copied and ImgBurn is therefore of no use with these discs.

If you used ImgBurn to read a CD and it created a BIN file it would have also created a CUE file to go with it. The default read speed for CD Audio tracks is 8x. Everything else defaults to MAX. MAX isn't the optimal burn speed, you have to decide that for yourself based on your drive / firmware / media combo.

Can you not order them over the internet?

Leave the layer break setting as it is. DVD/MDS files contain the correct LB value. Junk discs working in a drive doesn't mean anything, they're still junk. If they're not Verbatim, don't waste your time/money on them.

ImgBurn will perform booktyping to DVD-ROM automatically with that drive - IF it supports it. Verbatim DL discs are the only ones worth buying. Don't waste your time / money on anything else.

Learn how to use the program and then suggest stuff please. Working from a list with no real world experience of something isn't going to be of any use.
