LIGHTNING UK!

I doubt you've had that exact dye before. You cannot go by the brand name, it means nothing. It's the dye that's important.

I 23:41:04 Writing Layer 0... (LBA: 0 - 1913759) I 23:49:55 Writing Layer 1... (LBA: 1913760 - 3697695) I 23:58:07 Synchronising Cache... The speed isn't changing after the LB, it's burning at 6x all the time. But then for that burn you'd left 'Write Speed' on MAX. I 23:39:58 Write Speed: MAX

Throw it in the bin and try again. If it happens again, switch to Verbatim 2.4x DVD+R DL media.

Verbatim often use Taiyo Yuden dyes. Both are excellent quality and only do the grade A discs. Verbatim discs using the MCC dye are also excellent. I personally use TYG02 dye discs (Taiyo Yuden 8x DVD-R media) most of the time. They're available under both brand names.

That's a brand new dye and your drive probably doesn't support it. Get some different discs - Verbatim or Taiyo Yuden.

No, not really. You'd be breaking the DVD Video spec if you used unicode. So just think up another volume label.

Oh shit, hang on... you're burning a DVD Video disc yeah? Unicode is forced to 'off' on DVD Video discs as it's not supposed to use it. So your Unicode text is being converted to Ascii.

You probably need to remove software like 'Nero InCD' and whatever Roxio's equivalent is - not the whole package. I couldn't say if that'll make a difference to you, only you know how you normally burn things. Personally I've never installed that stuff and I'm obviously still alive.

Thanks for that. The real issue is from the data returned by this command: It doesn't match the info in the TOC (table of contents). I'll try and implement a workaround for the next version.

Just try one more thing for me.... Eject the disc and then press the F8 button to enable debug mode. Now reinsert the disc and when it comes up with 'Disc Not Supported (Audio)' in the status bar as it normally does, press F8 again. Now copy + paste everything from the log window into your next post.

Looks like a firmware bug as it's reporting incorrect TOC info and not saying the track is a data track. I assume it's fine if you put the disc in a different drive?

2 years old?! Double it and you'll be closer.

Sorry, I can't do anything if the unicode part isn't working for you. The controls I'm using must just not support the ones you're typing in.

You read the disc to an image in 'Read' mode and then write it to a disc in 'Write' mode.

ImgBurn being 'outdated' doesn't come into it. This isn't ImgBurn's problem. This forum has nothing to do with decryption and I'm afraid we can't help you.

Copy + paste the info from the panel on the right when you've got one of the problem discs in the drive.

Not when you're in Write mode it doesn't. Perhaps you weren't following the right guide?!

Didn't look very hard then Advanced -> Restrictions. Then you'll see a UDF tab.

There's a guide for burning images in the Guides forum. It's about the easiest thing to do within ImgBurn.

ImgBurn can't copy protected discs.

You don't have any problems with the program, your drive has issues with the media. Using decent stuff would sort that out.

Don't burn onto RW discs, get yourself some decent Taiyo Yuden or Verbatim media.

Nothing obviously wrong with the burn besides it being on cheapo DL media. Maybe your xbox just can't read those discs very well?

It really doesn't matter what you use for data. Just remember that if you want long file names and unicode support then you must have Joliet or UDF present on it. As for the international chars, you need to make sure that unicode is still enabled for UDF! Look on the Restrictions tab. I only use British English so it's hard for me to test these things myself but I've seen posts where it's been working fine for other languages.

Are you running some other 'packet writing' type software? For the OS to say it's not ready, I'd have to guess the drive is already being used by something and it has total control of it.
