LIGHTNING UK!

Can you post the log of you burning and verifying the disc please?

No, I meant when going from 1 / 2 layers to 3 / 4 layers. I'm sure it's all in the spec sheet somewhere if you can find it

And does it remember other settings ok between closing and reopening? I see no reason for it not to work.

They changed the layer size when going to triple / quad.

Are you loading ImgBurn directly or is another program doing it? You must load it directly. Many 3rd party apps that call it up will tell it not to save settings or override yours via the command line.

It would help if we could see the error and problem files in the log. I'm assuming it's just a file name length thing? Are you using UDF on the disc? You could just have UDF enabled and go from there.

If safe mode worked, it's more than likely your drivers for the controller are causing the issue - or a filter driver installed in the I/O chain somewhere.

This isn't XP related, it's down to your AV software not liking the OpenCandy plugin used by the latest installer and just deleting the file. Get your software to prompt you before taking action and tell it not to. Or add an exception / pause it for a few minutes whilst you go about your business.

So you've dragged and dropped the contents of a disc into a folder on your hdd? Assuming you no longer have the DVD (as that would be easier), just add the folder on your HDD to the 'Source' box in 'Build' mode and make yourself a new ISO.

You aren't burning your files as a DVD Video disc. Notice the 'Content Type' field in the log just says 'Data' rather than 'DVD Video'. Which files have you actually added to the source box? ImgBurn would normally detect you're trying to burn a DVD Video disc and configure itself accordingly. You must be doing something really strange if that isn't working. Do you have a VIDEO_TS.IFO file?

I can't see that update making any difference to ImgBurn.

Boot into safe mode and see if you have the same problem.

If that's all it says it supports those discs at, that's all it supports them at. It's a firmware thing, so unless you've updated that recently, nothing will have changed. Different drives support different discs at different speeds.

Recurse subdirectories doesn't do what you're saying it does. With it enabled, it'll include sub folders of what you add (and sub folders of those folders). Without it enabled, it won't. It's the 'preserve full pathnames' option that makes the program include the names of parent folders, right back to the root. Turn off the preserve one, turn on the recurse one and do as ianymaty said.

Please verify your burns. We can't tell if the burner can even read the disc, let alone the playback device. Those discs have the RITEK MID/dye, not the proper MKM verbatim one.

I see no reason for this problem to be image specific. The disc is coming out unreadable, that's it. What you have to understand is that working burns are down to your drive / firmware / media combo. The software simply passes the data to be written to the disc to the drive. If I ask you to write down a sentence and you have awful handwriting, use a thick marker pen and use blotting paper, it's not really my fault when someone else can't read it. Use your best handwriting, a decent pen and decent paper. I wish you every success with other software.

What happens if you use decent media with MCC or MKM disc id/ dye?

I did suggest 8x but never mind You'll have to try some different discs and perhaps cleaning the drive with a cleaning disc.

Have you tried burning at something other than 'Max' speed (i.e. 8x) ?

They don't, no. The padding is just for DVD video double layer burns.

If you're burning an ISO, the /filesystem, /udfrevision and /volumelabel options don't apply - remove them. Your current command line seems to have an extra " in it. That could be why it isn't working.

The bootable disc tab in Build mode is where you'd do that.

Your drive reported a 'write error' as it tried to burn the disc. Try dropping the write speed to 4x rather than using max speed (10x). Failing that, try some discs with a different MID.

You can configure it to read 64kb (32 sectors) or 32kb (16 sectors) at a time. Asking a drive to read 1 sector at a time results in very slow performance, so it reads 16 or 32 and drops down to single sector when the drive reports an error. It then returns to 16 or 32 after a while. Only the errors during single sector reads are actual errors that'll cause data to be missing from your image file. For DVD, the ECC block size is 16 sectors. For BD it's 32. So reading in chunks of 16 or 32 is normal.

That's all your drive reports it supports for that media. Software can't make it go faster than it wants to.
