LIGHTNING UK!

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.

You need to find out which chipset is on your motherboard.... Intel, Nvidia etc. Look in device manager at the ATAPI/IDE controllers branch, you might get a clue from the names of the entries under it. Get a screenshot if that makes things any easier - and then we'll help. You can Google for things you don't know/understand, EVERYTHING has been covered before.

Oh so it just hadn't updated the volume label visible in 'My Computer', is that all? You could probably just eject the disc, press F5 (refresh) whilst in the 'My Computer' window and then put the disc back in.

That's probably because the CUE is created for the original WAV file that then gets converted to an APE - but the CUE is never updated to reflect that WAV -> APE change.

It'll just be your drivers... ^^ that isn't right. Find a new driver for your controllers or revert to an older one. You could also try going back to the standard microsoft one.

RE: exclusive access Use process explorer as mentioned in the FAQ.

ImgBurn would prefer it if you changed 'WAVE' to say 'APE'... I think it copes either way though.

You're supposed to have an AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS folder. If that's not what you used to get when burning an ISO you were doing it wrong.

PowerDVD won't play BD content from a BD-ROM if AACS isn't present. Previous versions of DT made an image of that size look like a large DVD-ROM.

Mount your ISO, go into ImgBurn's Read mode with the virtual drive selected and copy + paste the disc info from the panel on the right.

When you put a disc in the drive that won't autoplay, what exactly is happening? If you have the 'My Computer' window open when you insert one, does the drive name/icon change? What options do you see on the right click menu once the disc has been in for 30 seconds?

Doh, I just noticed you've already done the right click -> properties thing on your drives. The autoplay stuff can be enabled / disabled via the checkboxes on the 'Device' tab within ImgBurn's settings (as mmalves mentioned earlier). (i.e. that's the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/System/CurrentControlSet/Services/CdRom that blutach just mentioned)

No, there's not. You can just follow the Audio CD guide in the Guides forum.

look at hkey_classes_root\DVD in regedit. Export that key to a file and open it in notepad. Then copy + paste what it says into the forum. Assuming all the relevant keys are still in place (which they should be), right click on the dvd drive in question within explorer/my computer and select properties. Hopefully in there you'll find an AutoPlay tab and will work the rest out yourself.

Did you try searching? http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtop...t+communication http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtop...t+communication http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtop...t+communication http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtop...t+communication

The performance counter stuff uses pdh.dll. If it's not present it just won't attempt to use any of the functions. What language is your Windows in? If you run 'perfmon.msc' from Start -> Run, what counters do you see? Can you provide a screenshot? Do one more test burn but this time press F6 before you hit the 'Write' button. Then save the log to a file and upload it here on the forum or email it to me (The address is in the 'About' box).

1. If you read a bootable to an image and then write a disc based on that image, the disc will be bootable. (The boot section is part of the image) 2. If you get everything required by the boot code, yes. (i.e. an XP install disc would need the 2k (2048 bytes) boot image and all the files in the I386 folder that it relies on). If the boot image is in floppy disc format etc then it'll probably be self contained, only the 'custom' ones rely on other stuff also being present. 3. I'm not 100% sure what you mean. A bootable CD is a boot image + other files. A boot image is just a boot image. 4. No, these boot images are not files you can copy, they need to go in a certain place on the disc and structures have to be put in place so the machine / bios / operating system know they're there. 5. An image (ISO) is a sector by sector copy of the disc. So you read sector 0 and write it to a file, read sector 1 and write it to the file. When burning you read sector 0 from the file and write it to the disc... etc.

DMA issue? Look in the FAQ.

Nope, this is their problem, not mine.
