LIGHTNING UK!

Use Build mode -> Advanced tab -> Bootable Disc tab -> Extract Boot Image. Point it towards an existing disc in one of your drives - or mount your ISO in a virtual drive program and point it at that. Then add that freshly created boot image in the other fields above and add your normal files to the 'Source' box on the left.

...and that's why I'd REALLY prefer it if DVD Flick used the proper installation of ImgBurn and didn't bundle it.

lol cool pic Cynthia! Happy Birthday Jersey Guy

You really want the MKM-001-00 dye 2.4x ones rather than the newer 8x ones.

Everything only takes a couple of hours to people with no idea what they're talking about.

Indeed, when I said it's 'Automatic', I meant that it's not something *any* software can control. Pioneer drives ALWAYS booktype DVD+R DL media to DVD-ROM.

Bitsetting is automatic on Pioneer drives - well, for DVD+R DL media anyway. If you need full bitsetting capabilities you'll have to modify the firmware using Media Code Speed Edit (MCSE) to enable it. http://ala42.cdfreaks.com/MCSE/

It doesn't. It's just a burning tool, not a (re)authoring one.

Is that size correct if you check the properties on the actual file? Open the burnt disc in IsoBuster and compare it to the image file in the same program. Is everything there in both?

If you rewrite the drive's firmware, yeah I guess so!

What exactly are you trying to burn for playback on the xbox? I don't have an xbox so it's impossible for me to really look into it, you need to tell me exactly what's different between the images created (equally) by both programs. Something like IsoBuster might be of some use here.

This is a drive / firmware / media thing. Look at the 'Supported Write Speeds' text in the info section on the right of the main window - or in the log during/after a burn.

You can only burn an ISO in Write mode. If you did that and it didn't work then there's nothing you can do to fix it. When you load the image what exactly does ImgBurn say in the little 'Source' box? Does the 'Size' match up with the real size of the ISO? Do you have the log of you burning the disc? (Help menu -> ImgBurn Logs)

Does it now do this with all discs you use? Do you have any *different* discs to the Sony ones you say you're using? Even a rewritable will do for testing. What have you changed since it last worked ok? (Assuming it has worked ok at some point of course!) Have you checked with whoever makes your PC that the drive has the latest firmware on it? It seems like a bit of a drive bug to me, that's not a status code it should be returning and I've never seen the issue before - nor has Google so it would seem, I just did a quick search.

I'm glad the Verbatims are working ok for you Your PC (i.e. Explorer/My Computer) doesn't report the same 'size' info that a burning program will. It shows the size of the data on the disc whereas a burning tool will show the physical size of any tracks/sessions on it.

Ignore the manual, I'm sure it'll work just fine with DVD+R DL media.

I've ordered a couple of those discs from SVP. They should be here tomorrow or the day after. Check back in a few days, at the moment there's nothing we can do.

Your drive is producing bad burns on that media... so bad that it can't even read the disc itself. Get yourself some Taiyo Yuden or Verbatim discs instead. You might also like to check for any available firmware updates.

That's down to the media format. The LB on DVD-R DL is in a fixed position (unlike DVD+R DL). That's why you'll never see anyone recommend them!

Please get me another debug log after the firmware update so I can compare. Thanks.

That ^^ is not a normal response! Try the 1.02 firmware update. http://dlsvr01.asus.com/pub/ASUS/ODD/DVD-R...2014L1T_102.zip

It asking you to confirm the disc type isn't a huge problem. All you need to do is pick BD-RE and i'll run the appropriate code. The problem is what happens after that.

There's no reason I couldn't just insert a few amongst the existing ones. Sometimes funny, sometimes informative... I almost like the idea... glad I thought of it

Nope, none at all. Just so long as you know which is which when looking in Explorer / My Computer. Have you actually turned off the 'Perform OPC Before Write' option in the settings now as suggest earlier?

Just so I know we're on the same page still, the current problem is that your drive keeps changing it's mind and saying the current profile is BD-ROM one minute and BD-RE the next - all without you actually doing anything except maybe ejecting / reinserting the disc?
