LIGHTNING UK!

fast write would make a 2x verb bd-re burn at about 2.3x and not 1.1x. So it more than halves the time it takes to burn. It really does just sound like your PS3 can't read the disc properly. The same thing happens (unable to FF, stuttering etc) on a normal DVD player when the disc can't be read.

The 'MediaType=DVD' thing is an unsupported keyword at this time. Just delete it from the .DVD file as it's only used/useful when mounting the image in Virtual CloneDrive.

Perhaps? Can you still burn SL media? You can actually pay

Sounds like you're getting the 'delayed write' failure message if you've got a yellow triangle in the system tray. Try a new cable. You might even find it's due to whatever is powering the external drive. Can you undo the case and take the drive out? If so, do that and make it internal (outside of the case though), read the stuff off it and then return it / get a new one.

That's pretty much how it is for the entire GUI. I might get around to offering both sets in the EXE but it's not actually that straight forward at the moment, I'd want to tidy some things up first.

'Check Condition' is pretty much a constant error code in all I/O errors - i.e. it's the LEAST important. Without the full error (the sense area stuff) we can really tell what's going on.

***Merged some posts from another thread *** If you've tried loads of firmwares, how comes you didn't finish on (or at least go back to) the latest one - v1.24?

It just disables that bit of powerdvd. i.e. the stupid annoying thing you'll never use and that makes it look like discs are unsupported until you read what it says carefully I only mentioned it because I've just done it on my machine.

btw, if you want to get rid of the movie remix stuff, just save this as a reg file and import it. Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cyberlink\PowerDVD8] "EnableMovieLibrary"=dword:00000000 "EnableMovieRemix"=dword:00000000 "UI_MLiveEnableFeature"=dword:00000000

Where exactly are you seeing this 'unsupported' message in powerdvd? You're not talking about the 'movie remixes' bit on the right that says 'This feature is not supported for the current disc format' are you? Obviously that just means that 'movie remixes' (whatever that is!) isn't supported for bluray. If that's not what you're talking about, I can't see why your PowerDVD has problems and mine doesn't. If you're not already using the verbatim BD-RE discs, give them a go because they work ok in my ps3.

There's nothing to 'crack' mate, it works fine I'd run ImgBurn's images through the Philips UDF verifier and tested them in PowerDVD and on the PS3 before the program was ever released with UDF 2.50+ support.

You did what?! You don't build a new image with the bin/cue inside it, the BIN file IS the ISO image. Just rename *.bin to *.iso. Personally I can't see that working though because technically the images are in the wrong format for using the 'ISO' extension. Still, I have no idea how this 'HD Loader' program wants / deals with its files so maybe it'll work.

So people just look for the 'Help' option regardless of which program it's in? I suppose if you don't know any better then ImgBurn could appear to just be part of DVD Flick.

Ah ok, I thought you might have been using a new one. I've done about 5 burns tonight testing this (on Verbatim BD-RE in my H20L) and they've worked in PowerDVD and the PS3 just fine. Maybe the laser just needs cleaning?! Is the system software on it up-to-date? Is your powerdvd up-to-date? That's not exactly 'bug free' software itself!

The program will rip to ISO when the sector format on the disc is Mode 1. When it's not, you get a BIN/CUE. The BIN is basically the same as ISO so maybe just renaming it would work?!

DVD-R DL discs are useless, don't waste your time / money on them. You want Verbatim DVD+R DL 2.4x (MKM-001-00 dye) and nothing else. For the locking issue, please read the FAQ. For the xbox stuff, please read an xbox forum... this isn't really the place for it.

Forget the whole 2hr / 6hr thing, it's rubbish. All you need to know is that you can fit 4.37GB of data on a DVD-R / DVD+R disc and ~8.5GB on a DVD-R DL / DVD+R DL disc. If you don't want to buy double layer (DL) discs for the stuff you're burning you will need to 'shrink' it. I'm not going to tell you how to do that because Google is more than capable.

You can't use PowerDVD to play from an image mounted in DT now, the latest DT had changes that prevent it from working.

It's probably easier to just have Nero and ImgBurn create an image (rather than burn to disc) and then compare them. You could also try reading a nero disc to an image and burning the image in ImgBurn. Obviously then we know the content would be identical (removing the differences in file systems from the equation).

Do the folder structures of the Nero / ImgBurn discs (or images) match? What about the file data itself? Make an image in each program, mount the images in DAEMON Tools (using 2 virtual drives) and then use a program to compare the files on both drives - something like Beyond Compare should do the trick

It'll only update things when the pointers in the IFO's are wrong. If you don't fix them then players won't like the disc.

BD drives perform automatic verification during the write, that's what slows it down. You have to enable 'FastWrite' in the settings so that ImgBurn will then try to tell the drive not to do that.

Ohhh you're running it via DVD Flick! That doesn't save your settings at all. (Their doing, not mine) If you want ImgBurn to work properly for when you're burning outside of DVD Flick you need to have a standalone one... i.e. install it normally having downloaded it from www.imgburn.com

Oh, sorry I see what you mean now. No, leaving it enabled won't harm anything.

The only way to do it is to forget the extras folder for a second, make an image, build par2 files based on the files inside the image (mount it in DAEMON Tools or something) and then add the extras folder. You might find you're better off just par2'ing the image file and burning the par2's from several discs on a disc of their own (and burning 2 copies?!).
