LIGHTNING UK!

Put the I/O interface back on SPTI. Try adjusting the write speed down to 4x. If the drive still can't burn the discs, try cleaning it with a cleaning disc - or manually if you're feeling brave and find a video telling you how to do it.

Because burning has to happen at the speed the drive burns at or burnproof kicks in. Verifying happens at whatever speed the drives can manage between them.

Yes

As it turns out, I have a drive that can do it already... I just need the media. There's nothing showing up on eBay uk.

The sort order applies to the drop down boxes, nothing else. The scan lists them as they're found... and yes, that's down to Windows.

Free-Codecs, TechSpot and MajorGeeks all seemed fine just now when I tried them. BetaNews is offline, Softpedia has repackaged it and Diigital Digest are currently doing the same.

Your drive seems to be burning a disc it can't then read back. You could try slowing the write speed down to one of the other 'supported' speeds. You could also try with different discs (ideally, some Taiyo Yuden CDR) or cleaning the drive.

Forget about converting or creating cues, you can't truly generate something from nothing. How exactly do you want to access them? Via which program? At best, what you've got there is a bunch of 2352 bytes per sector basic image files. All track info has been lost - or would be in a conversion to ISO as it can't represent anything more. You could write a batch file loop through all of the bin files in a directory and create a basic cue with the right name in it. I'd expect most programs that open cue files to open bin files directly anyway, so making the cue seem pointless - hence my initial sentence.

I don't know why they're blocking the website, it doesn't try and do anything. Probably just people reporting issues that don't exist. Lots of applications have an issue with the opencandy plugin used by the installer.

Did you download from ImgBurn.com? Did the md5 match what's posted on the download page? If 'yes' to both, you've nothing to worry about. That detection (suspicious.cloud.2) is not what I'd expect it to show, so it could be you've downloaded the wrong thing... perhaps by clicking an advert.

No, it's not possible. The program reads the data from the hdd into its internal buffer in your machine's RAM. That's the bit that was failing. Nothing to do with your optical drive or the media in it at all. If you've just got a bad sector or two on your drive, you aren't going to run into the same problem until you try and read from something that's occupying that sector. Now I don't know how big your hdd is, but consider the following.... There are 1,073,741,824 bytes in 1GiB. Given there are 512 bytes per sector on an older hdd (which I assume yours is), that's around 2.1 million sectors per GiB. So there's a good chance you won't always read from that bad sector unless you don't touch (overwrite, delete, defrag etc) the file using it. The drive may also have managed to recover it now if it's been overwritten again or reallocated it elsewhere.

Try using one of the DirectShow filter manager tools to enable or disable the one you had originally and the two you've just added. It could be a Windows 10 issue as no doubt they came out long before it did.

Oh well if you've checked websites, you must know more about where the errors reported by my program are coming from than I do. (yes, that was sarcasm) We're just trying to help you. The OS reported an error trying to read the file on your hdd. It 110% has absolutely nothing to do with your optical discs. That's not to say your choice in media won't cause issues elsewhere, it's just that specific error was not caused by them. The two are totally unrelated. If anybody reads that error and blames the media you're using, they have probably have no business offering support in the first place.

Probably because the new '3 title' project they created wasn't located in the same 'bad' spot on the hdd.

Try with the filters mentioned in the guide. http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?/topic/5555-how-to-write-an-audio-cd-from-music-files-using-imgburn/?p=91374

No, drives read them at whatever speed they like. The read speed on recordable discs is just normally lower than dvdrom discs.

It isn't fixed, your hdd is dying. Run chkdsk on it asap and scan for bad blocks. You may need to replace it before it dies and you lose everything on it.

None of those probably display it. WMP needs a plugin installed. Google wmpcdtext.

Right click the item that gets added to the cue window and pick the directshow filter list option. Let me know what it says. If the filter being used isn't at fault, there's something not right with the files.

The md5 are listed on the individual firmware file pages aren't they? The files are just downloaded from the official sites and then added to the firmwarehq site. Most of the time, it's probably me doing it.

I haven't used anything but Taiyo yuden and verbatim for years. I use people like totalblankmedia, discdepot, svp etc.

Windows formatting has left the disc in an 'incomplete' state and I'd say that's why it's now accepting the 'write' commands. There should be no difference between write and build mode as they use the same code to burn. I'd love to get it working properly but HD DVD stuff is so hard to come by these days. Even if I had a drive, I don't know where to get a HD DVDRW disc from.

DVD+RW and BD-RE both need formatting before first use, so it's nothing unusual. In any case, the drive's error message suggests that's what needs to happen

Yes, for that disc at least. The drive probably resets when the disc gets ejected anyway.

Going by your log, it's already active - as is the 'norm' for all liteon drives.
