LIGHTNING UK!

I'm sure there must be an option on the build tab in the settings that does something with filtered files. Try unchecking it. That said, thumbs.db is usually made by the os when someone views a folder in explorer that contains images. So really, it has no reason to exist on your disc and that's why ImgBurn filters it out.

ImgBurn isn't going to lie to you. If it says something isn't right, then at that moment in time, something wasn't right. My guess is that having ejected and reloaded the disc, your drive failed to initialise it properly and probably just reported it as being empty - hence the reason it told you the session count wasn't equal. It expected the drive to report the disc had 1 session, but it told it there were 0 sessions. There's nothing to say that it won't then work fine if you eject and reinsert it a second time or if you try to access the disc in another drive. Have you tried burning at 8x instead or cleaning the drive with a cleaning disc?

Have you tried at the other available write speeds? Don't worry about burning images versus burning files / folders. The actual burning phase (and code within the program) is the same thing.

Give the 1.01 firmware shot. http://www.firmwarehq.com/LG/BE14NU40/files.html I don't know about other drives with the LTH media I'm afraid, sorry.

You're basing it on inadequate information Stick to HTL media where possible, burning to LTH stuff appears a bit 'hit and miss' with your drive. Oh and you should have posted the log so we could see the error messages the drive returned as it attempted to burn the discs.

Please right click the drive selection box once you've selected the LG drive and pick 'family tree'. Close the prompt that comes up and then copy and paste the contents of the Log window.

No, it's 2048 for DVD and BD media.

I don't know, you'd have to ask Intel.

By removing the filter drivers, iTunes obviously won't be able to burn (and possible not even 'rip') your CDs. By removing the anydvd one you will have stopped that from working too. Your driver version for anydvd seemed like an old one. Just install the current version and you'll be fine. The iastorf one is part of the Intel rapid storage technology driver.

You didn't say if your controller is in ahci mode or not? Go into the bios and try switching it to ata/ ide or whatever. There's a firmware update available for your bh10ls38 drive. http://www.firmwarehq.com/LG/BH10LS38/files.html Don't forget to give the OS's safe mode a try too.

Your drive is unable to burn them and just keeps erroring out as it tries. If the drive's firmware is up to date, there's nothing you can really do to help the situation. You're then left with trying some different/ better discs.

Stop using discs with the UME mid.

Sectors

Yes but at least turning it off and on again makes the drives appear in device manager. Is your controller still in ahci mode? What happens if you switch it to ide mode? I can't see what the drive is actually reporting error wise because the OS error is replacing it.

Do the same thing again.

Try another cable and port on your motherboard. Udma crc errors usually indicate a cabling / connection problem.

Do you have a disc in the drive? It would appear your drive doesn't think you do. Copy and paste everything from the Log window please

ImgBurn always finalises discs. Post the log so we can see how the burn and verify operations went.

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows-8/where-is-device-manager Microsoft has fixit tools for optical drives too. https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/mats/cd_dvd_drive_problems https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/314060

ImgBurn only burns 'as-is'. If you want to author a DVD video disc with a menu etc, use something like DVD Flick or ConvertXtoDvd.

You've got the wrong verbatim discs. Get the MKM-003-00 MID ones.

Go into device manger and see what's wrong with them. Windows makes them available to the program and it appears unable to do so.

Please make your own thread, don't hijack someone else's from 4 years ago!

It sounds like you're attempting to use Write mode. Write mode is for burning disc images - ISO files and alike. What you've got are video files and not disc images. Use Build mode for burning regular files. Please note that no conversion of such files takes place. If you add an MP4 or avi file to the disc, you'll end up with an MP4 or avi file on the disc. The program won't make a DVD video compatible disc for you.

And what happens if you use a decent write once disc instead of a rewritable?
