LIGHTNING UK!

If the ones on the liteon tab work, hit the advanced button and add your device identifier (SONY DVD+-RW DW-Q58A) to the liteon tab in there - that way the program will do it for you automatically each time you burn.

The whole point of it being there is to fix a problem.... so it's unlikely I'll make it optional.

You should post the full log so we have all the info to go on.

Nope. Do you have a slow PC or something? It must take 20 or 30 seconds to analyse the files prior to a burn... that's not a lot of time really!

I had someone try that OS build you're using and theirs didn't hang for ages in the way yours is. Maybe you could do a rebuild of that one - or better still don't use such a hacked up version!

Do any of your settings get saved when you close the program down? You're not using an .ini file for saving them are you.... just the standard method in the registry? Open up regedit and browse to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ImgBurn The Auto Write Speed entries should be right at the stop, all starting with 'AWS_'. What do you see? If in doubt, delete the 'ImgBurn' key (when the program is closed), open ImgBurn and then close it again. Now refresh regedit (press F5) and see what's been written to it and if the 'ImgBurn' branch has been recreated.

Maybe your drive is just playing silly buggers and not updating the info quickly enough after I've told it where the new LB should be. Eject the disc and reinsert it, then copy + paste the disc info from the panel on the right. If you have any other drives available anywhere, you could try it in those too. That way we'll see what other drives make of the LB position and if it really has/hasn't been moved. I'm sure I don't need to tell you that you should be using Verbatim DVD+R DL 2.4x (MKM-001-00 dye, Made in Singapore) discs for all your DL burns do I? It's mentioned in just about every DL related thread on this forum (and most others).

That's not verifying then, it's analysing! It needs to do that so it gets an accurate/exact size of the decoded PCM info - otherwise you end up with unwanted gaps between the songs or stuff gets cut off / lost. So basically, you're stuck with it.

Can you do a complete read of that disc still? If so, I guess the drive is ok with it. If in doubt, burn it again.

Please post the rest of the log. That said, everything I've said above this post still applies to you!

before write? Verify happens after the Write operation and is controlled by the 'Verify' checkbox in the 'Destination' groupbox on the main screen.

Change 'Folder Content Location' to 'Start' and try again. (Tools -> Settings -> Build -> DVD Video)

Yes, that's correct. You use ImgBurn for the actual burning part... but you only do that once you've got a proper set of file to burn.

Use tsmuxer to make the proper bd layout then. You're not inventing the wheel here, I'm sure there are guides for this on Google if you search. The Doom9.org forums must be full of the stuff.

Drag the BDMV folder to the 'Source' box in Build mode and then click 'Write'.

Why would you join the ImgBurn forum and post this kind of question in the ImgBurn Support section?! Surely you'd at least be using ImgBurn wouldn't you?

Hmm I guess I need to extend my 'Create CERTIFICATE Folder' option from a simple 'Yes / No' checkbox to an 'Ask / Yes / No' combobox. It doesn't even sound as if I can always leave it out when I know I'm burning directly to DVD media. I guess I could always include it when going direct to Blu-ray though, that should be safe enough.

It means your drive can't read (verify perhaps?) the disc.

If that's all the drive supports then that's all it'll burn at... me telling it to burn at an 'unsupported' 1x or 2x won't do anything, it'll just burn at the closest 'supported' speed. It all comes down to the drive/firmware/media combo.

You can post a filter drivers list via the Tools menu. Copy it to the clipboard and paste it here. You might also be able to update to the newer nforce drivers via the nvidia site. What I really need to see though is the log with the error. See if you can find it via the 'Help' menu.

Wow, I'm not sure I've seen that error on DVD-R before!

You could try getting the latest nForce drivers down from the nvidia site then. Are you actually using RAID at all on your hard drives? If not, see if it lets you skip installing that part of the driver set. You might want to do an uninstall of the existing set before putting the new ones on. I believe 15.23 is the latest set and they came out a week or so ago. http://www.nvidia.com/object/nforce_vista64_15.23.html

It's not ImgBurn that's not releasing control, it's something further down the line... the controller drivers or some 3rd party filter driver.

If the drive won't see the disc then there isn't much you can do. Look for a firmware update for your drive or try just ejecting / reinserting the disc a lot... maybe it'll fluke read it!

Well when PowerDVD won't play them due to the BD-ROM thing you can use the 'Tools' -> 'Create DVD MDS File' feature in ImgBurn to create an MDS that can be loaded in DT and the virtual drive/disc will then look like a DVD-ROM. Open the feature up, add the ISO to the box, click 'OK' to create the MDS file. Mount the MDS file in DEAMON Tools instead of the ISO. I believe PowerDVD has no problems playing from that. I have no experience of TotalMedia Theatre but I've read comments from a lot of people saying it's very unstable and some say it doesn't even load up. Can you get a list together of all the folders in the image you've created and the files within those folders? A screenshot of IsoBuster opening the ISO with the folder branches expanded will do.
