LIGHTNING UK!

They're quite low level errors, they'd only come from your drive / miniport driver. Did you actually change the cable / set the drive as master / check it's UDMA in the bios / follow the DMA post in FAQ? Simply looking at these things and saying 'yeah, that's fine' isn't good enough. You have to actually do them! Basically, at some point along the way the data going to/from your drive is being corrupted. Normally it's the cable, but I guess it could also be a memory issue. So after doing all the above mentioned things properly, you might like to take 5 mins (or an hour) to run Memtest+.

Where did you find it for 51?

It's CMFUSB2.0-8GB Vs CMFUSB2.0-8GBGT The GT's are the black / red ones. Normal are black / blue.

Ah, that's not my one. The one for 46.50 is the non GT version. Mine is this one: http://www.google.co.uk/products?hl=en&amp...1&scoring=p For some odd reason mine isn't even on ebuyer now!

46 already?! I only got the bloody thing yesterday! I was on the cheapo 3 day free shipping though so I guess I ordered it a few days ago. Damn it, I've been done!

Sounds like you've just burnt a couple of AVI files or something. ImgBurn is a burning tool, not a conversion one. It burns exactly what you give it.

Yup, shame they didn't do a 16GB but then 8GB is still a lot bigger than my previous one - a lexar firefly 2gb! I got mine from ebuyer for ~

If things are that bad you should look at using a program designed for disaster recovery. You should also consider: a. Using better discs. b. Using a better drive. c. Taking better care of your discs! d. Making 2 copies of important stuff and storing the 2nd away somewhere where it's never touched.

Why bother asking for help if you think you already have all the answers?! You're not in a position to 100% dismiss the media as being the issue. I bet if you tried some decent discs it would work fine. These errors come directly from the drive. It's not complaining about what I'm doing, it's complaining that it can't write to the disc. That's a hardware problem, not software. EDIT: Just saw you said Verbatims do the same thing. Ok, well they don't do it on my Pioneer 112. Oh and drop the buffer back down to a 'normal' size (say 40MB). 256MB is way overkill unless you have a specific (odd) need for it. All you're doing is taking resources away from Windows.

Try enabling the 'hardware retries' checkbox in the settings ('Read' tab). Play around with different values and it should speed things up. You could also drop the 'Software Retries' down for known problem discs and of course enable the 'Ignore Read Errors' option.

No.

Actually, you have a problem on your hard drive where it's reading the vob files from.

Stop switching the I/O to ASPI, put it back on SPTI.

/NOSAVESETTINGS would kinda get around that, but of course then it won't save them at all, and not just not the forced reg key stuff.

yup, it sure does.

Cool, glad to hear it.

Might be a problem with UPX v3 compressed programs then - which both the ImgBurn ones are.

Ok, I've added another 'fallback' search to determine the image file format if the other attempts fail. It now loads the image ok, but will only work properly if the image is a 'basic' one (i.e. single session, single track). If it's not, it'll be burnt as one anyway.

What does it find it in, the installation program or ImgBurn.exe itself? The NSIS installer I use always has these issues! Either way, both are free from viruses so please report this 'false positive' to Kasperski.

The file is in their own proprietary format with loads of rubbish stuck on the front of it.

Get some other discs, your drive doesn't like those. Verbatim (MCC dye), or Taiyo Yuden are the ones we recommend.

email it to me. Look in the program's 'About' box for the address. Ta.

Well, you could use a hex editor - something like hexworkshop. Or if you can use the command prompt (cmd.exe), use this: http://download.imgburn.com/grab5m.zip Usage : GRAB5M i.e. Extract to a folder called 'grab5m' in the root of c: Open a command prompt window. Change the grab5m folder by typing: CD \grab5m Then type: grab5m "c:\my_odd_img_file.img" "c:\5mb_of_image.img" Zip/RAR up the '5mb_of_image.img' file and email it to me.
