LIGHTNING UK!

Generally, you'd install the codecs so you can 'play' the files in any directshow compliant player. MP3 is built into the OS though.

Your AV might be kicking in slowing it all down, I really don't notice any on my machine. Perhaps if you have 1 million apps running on a Pentium 133Mhz, it might cause an issue To disable it, just uncheck the appropriate 'Warning' box in the Settings (General tab).

I don't recall ever saying a 'Copy' mode wouldn't be implemented, quite the opposite infact. You don't really need to suggest thing like this, they're 'no-brainers'.

It is indeed odd, like you say, it would be hell if it did it on data sectors! A 'sample' of CD-DA is just 4 bytes yeah? (remember I'm not an audio person and generally deal in 'sectors' when burning stuff!)

I didn't think MS's stuff had ever been case sensitive, that's a Linux trait.

When you say 'write offset', is it basically where I write 2352 bytes of data (i.e. an audio sector) to a certain LBA and then read it back and the two differ? If I compare the two, I should then find that at a certain offset, the data from the read begins to mirror exactly what was written, with the stuff before it just being junk? I guess it wouldn't be hard to just insert a few bytes of nothingness into the buffer before the real data. I noticed that during my own testing actually. The only drive that seemed able to write exactly what I sent it (so I could compare it exactly when read back) was my Lite-On.

You should probably give up with burning DL's on that drive and get yourself another one. If you don't, it'll end up costing you more money in wasted discs.

You can only do that on DVD+R/+RW media and you'd need to ensure the 'DVD+R Reserve Track' option is not enabled in the settings if using DVD+R.

No, something is wrong if it's saying that.

1. Drive is getting old 2. Firmware is out of date - http://forum.rpc1.org/dl_firmware.php?download_id=2110 3. Media is old/bad in the first place 4. ImgBurn version is old (and buggy!)

It's very unlikely that a disc would have something so close to a whole second without it actually being a whole second - so the problems comes from the whole 'pregap detection' thing not being accurate enough (drives can return different values each time I try). Snapping is my attempt to get around that. Turn it off by setting it to 0 if you like. It only applies when reading a disc, not writing one.

Fixed in silent 2.4.1.0 update on ImgBurn.com mirror. Shhh, don't tell anyone!

Looks like all of them are being enabled. Not a big deal as this doesn't apply to 99.9% of people.

It doesn't matter too much, I'll get them either way. However, given the option it's probably better if they're emailed. Use the address in the program's 'About' box. To make things easier, if you can just call it 'french.zip' that'll save me some time. Oh and change the 'sourcelangid' to 2057 (English UK) rather than 1033 (English US). TargetApplication can just be 'ImgBurn'. Thank you.

Interesting... you must have a v1.5 file that's not using unicode for the file name... I assumed they all would. Please email me the mds file so I can examine it properly. Look in the program's about box for the address. Thanks. btw, you can get around it by hex editing byte 17 in the mds file from 05 to some number lower than that. (i.e. 01, 02, 03 or 04!)

The 'Medium Not Present' message is what the drive is reporting to the program. So either you don't have a disc in the drive or the drive doesn't support the disc.

AFAIK, a real windows install cd only uses ISO9660. If you don't then also select Level X (or at least Level 2), you'll be cropping some of the file names. Likewise, if you don't select the ASCII character set you'll be modifying the file names. EDIT: I've just taken a SP1 image, mounted it, copied the files to my hdd and integrated SP3 RC2 (or whatever it is). It's installed just fine in VMware.

Only you can answer that question. Test the discs... scan them... do they look ok? There's no reason for the burns to be any less readable but you'd need to talk to the drive manufacturers / firmware programmers to find out the real difference, I have no idea!

Ez Mode picker is not a wizard. It simply provides an easier/quicker way of selecting the 'mode' you want when the program starts and potentially saves you having to wait for the disc to be initialised before you can then change to the correct mode (assuming it started in the wrong one). If you don't like it, change the options so it doesn't appear.

They're not needed. That page is just for DVD Video DL really so the program knows the media sizes when working out where to position the layer break.

Happy Birthday

Are those Verbatim discs the MIS (Made in Singapore) ones? If your drive won't even produce a decent burn on those then I'd recommend investing in an external drive - laptop ones are hardly ever any good.

PTP source probably. Rebuild it.
