LIGHTNING UK!

As that's a liteon drive, do a disc quality test in cdspeed and see how the graph looks.

Yes it's fixed on the disc, it's just like 2 singles and you have to burn right to the end of the 1st before it moves onto the 2nd. Build mode knows where it is and will align cells on it (and only on it) when showing you the potential LB positions in that nice window. If you burn an image in Write mode it'll still try and do the same but it's far more likely to fail.

Hmm I think you might have some sort of DMA issue. Check/replace the cable going to the drive and follow the DMA post in the FAQ about uninstalling the controller.

Your drive produced a bad burn.

Ok, examined and fixed. There's actually a bug in the file system within that image that causes an infinite loop in my code.

It's in the programs 'About' box.

Ok well Port 21 appears blocked and that's the default FTP port. I only have very basic knowledge of FlashFXP and that won't connect. Care to put it somewhere that 'normal' people can access?! Or just email it to me. Your choice.

Uploaded where?! As mentioned above, it won't let me into the FTP. I just get 'Connection Refused' - i.e. it times out. Is it locked down to certain IP's or something? Looks like a firewall issue to me.

So you put bootable images inside a bootable image? That's pretty cool! You should probably get your rescue disc bootable in it's own right before then starting to worry about putting the multiboot menu around it. What do you need in order to get the rescue bit working? Just something that gives you a command prompt?

FTP isn't working. Get this file http://download.imgburn.com/grab5m.zip it's a command line tool, just type: grab5m [source file name] [destination file name] i.e. grab5m "C:\input.iso" "C:\5meg.iso"

Isn't the image that Boot CD Wizard and BartPE made already bootable? Just burn it in Write mode. I have no experience of either of those tools and you're probably better off asking for help on forums that deal with them.

The warning for disc tracks being smaller than image tracks isn't in a version of ImgBurn that's out yet, it's in 2.4.1.0 - whenever I get to the stage where it's ready for release. The real fix here is to use a different drive for burning. That plextor seems to keep losing the last 16 sectors for some reason.

You want the 2.4x ones (MKM-001-00), your drive doesn't support the 8x ones (MKM-003-00) at all - hence the really weird 'Write Speeds' that are being reported.

The buffer gets filled? That must mean reading the disc isn't the problem, writing to your hdd is (or at least something between it being in memory and being written to the hdd. In the main window ('Information' box), how many sectors does it think have been processed? Send me the first 5 mb of whatever image you manage to make in whatever programs and I'll at least try that bit my end.

A copy of the log from that burn session is a lot more useful in diagnosing problems than just the contents of the error box. Please post it if you have it. (Check Help -> ImgBurn Logs from within the program)

Windows (XP) doesn't support UDF 2.5 or above. I think Vista does/should. You need to install a driver so that XP can understand the file system.

The verify line in that graph doesn't exactly look healthy! You should run a PIPO scan/Disc quality check on it via DVDInfoPro/CDSpeed.

Before burn... After burn... Do you have another drive you could use to see how that disc is read / initialised? It's coming up 16 sectors short again in the plextor. This is NOT a good thing!

As you would have been told back in February (if you'd ever actually made it back to the forum) when you made THIS post, please post a copy of your log file.

No it's not possible and I very much doubt it will ever be.

'Too fast' doesn't come into it. DS tells me when it's done, that's how I know I have to insert digital silence to pad the track if there isn't as much decoded data as originally estimated. The only way you're going to get anywhere with this now is to go to the madflac bloke or whoever and ask why the DS filter comes up short (or doesn't work at all). As mentioned previously, if you want a seamless disc you need to use a single large file. Even ImgBurn could be semi useful for that, it'll read an Audio CD to a WAV file, then just compress it using a Flac GUI type thing. Change the .cue file so it points to the .flac file (and not .wav) and then burn away!

Playback time is shown in the 'Time' column within the 'Create CD CUE File' window. If the CUE file comes from elsewhere, press the 'Image Information' button once you've loaded it in to Write mode. (That's the button with the picture of a disc and a question mark on it)

It may happen one day. Never say never! (although I often do ) Personally though, I'm really not fussed about it - and I tend to implement things that I want to add.

Sorry, that's beyond the scope of a burning program.

Try 8x and 12x too.
