LIGHTNING UK!

Sorry, but I very much doubt it. ...and by 'very much' I mean never ever ever ever ever Why the change to Mac? I'm sure you can get a PC emulator or something. You can probably even install a virtual Windows XP session.

That's one of the reasons I forgot about RAID 0 when putting in my latest board and after a hdd died in my last set taking 1TB of data with it. I knew I needed to have 2 SATA optical drives on the new board (after Intel removed the IDE port from their chipsets - doh!) and in testing I found them to be much more reliable when running as standard ATA rather than RAID/AHCI. The hdds I've got will do 90mb/s anyway so RAID-0 isn't that big of a deal. Not only that, they're only storage drives.

If it's a laptop drive you'll need to close it manually!

ImgBurn is a burning tool, not a backup one. If you want to backup data to multiple discs you need a backup tool - or at least a burning tool that's geared that way - ImgBurn is not. With ImgBurn, what goes in = what comes out. If you give it 10GB of files it'll create a 10GB ISO file. It won't create multiple discs with independent file systems and a few folders/files on each.

Awww, they weren't all that bad Jill, some of them could probably be used.

ImgBurn is just a burning tool, it won't convert anything. It would help if you knew exactly what you'd downloaded, but it appears you don't.

Is it a VCD/SVCD? If so, you need to convert it to DVD Video format.

Update the firmware on your drive and/or switch to some different discs.

If you use the CLI command stuff the return value from the program is different depending on success / failure. As for working on the changer... this is about as far as I've got!

They're just going to be used in the 'caption' area of the groupbox on the new 'Ez-Mode Picker' screen. Almost like a quote of day type thing. I already have the 'blow the bloody doors off' one in my list

Unless a command is failing somewhere, I don't know what the issue is there. Sorry. (Trying something other than CMC media might help though) Assuming you're running that drive (sata controller) in AHCI mode, any chance you could put it back to std ATA mode and try again? My sata drives just show up as ATA so it could be a driver issue.

Good ones will be added to something stupid in the up and coming new release.

Looks ok but then it's very minimal at the moment. By the time all the google ads have been shoved back on it (yes, I do need those on there!), it'll look very different.

The info from the log would help us here.

Exactly what I said in post 3 then! Hmmm should I use my invisibility to fight crime or for evil?

Martin H, I personally don't see it as a wizard, it's just a screen where you pick one of the various modes. It can actually be a good thing as it save times loading the progeam up in the wrong one, having to wait for it to finish initialising the disc before you then change to the one you want to use. I've simply called it 'Ez-Mode Picker'. It's just a screen with 6 buttons on it (one for each mode - 2 for build due to output methods). You hit the button and it then switches to the appropriate mode. Oh and yes of course it's configurable

Extract the files from the disc and rebuild the image using build mode. You might get a proper layer break then.

Have ImgBurn verify the disc as part of the burn. It too will keep a record of read/write speeds that you can display in a pretty graph using DVDInfoPro (see the 'drives and media' forum for examples). You might also like to try setting the 'Write Type' to 'Incremental' within ImgBurn's settings window - on the 'Write' tab. Some weird drives can perform better using that rather than DAO.

Just change the file system to 'ISO9660' in the drop down box (within Build mode). It's always Mode 1 and never multisession. It'll make an ISO but that doesn't make any difference, it's just an extension.

Well to read any file system you need a file system parser (these are normally built in). Windows can parse UDF just fine but I doubt anything command line based will do. ISO9660 on the other hand, can be read by just about everything.

I wasn't really talking about the logo, I was more interested to see what you think the bit below the blue bars should look like.

Splitting isn't the issue here. The ISO9660 file system has a limitation whereby it cannot contain files that are 4GB (or larger) in size. This isn't anything to do with ImgBurn, it's just part of the specs for those file systems. If you want to burn huge files onto a discs like that then you need to use 'UDF' on it's own.

I'm not sure a website redesign is really urgent at this time. I don't look at the current one and go 'Oh my god I hate it', so IMO it's not due yet. If you fancy showing me more of the new layout (as you see it) please do so. I can't tell much from the header. I like the idea of the newbie friendly welcome screen and have toyed with the idea in the past. I'm working on it right now.

Scan it again, a graph just wouldn't look like that due to the software being used. The software has nothing to do with anything.

USB drives bomb out like that sometimes, you have to be 'lucky' and get a decent chipset in the enclosure and one that won't keep generating that semaphore timeout issue. That aside, you appear to putting a CD sized image on a double layer DVD disc. Is there a specific reason for that?!
