LIGHTNING UK!

ImgBurn doesn't really 'copy' anything, it's just a burning tool - hence the name!

It's probably copy protected, in which case, ImgBurn cannot help you.

No, the device buffer should always work. It's updated about 4 or 5 times per second and will always display the value returned by the drive.

Try burning with some better quality disc - i.e. Verbatim (MCC dye) or Taiyo Yuden. Your log shows the drive is having real trouble burning as it's taking 4 minutes for the 'abort' to kick in - and that's only happening because the drive is timing out (perhaps where you say you're unplugging it?) USB is never as reliable as IDE etc but internal laptop drives are normally awful... tough situation to be in!

Yes, the next version supports unicode. That should cover everything you've said / asked!

Well do you have a blank disc in the drive? If not, the program can't possibly be ready for burning anything. Do please remember that ImgBurn is a burning tool, nothing more.

That's a warning message, nothing more. It's just so you know that if you try to make a file thats > 4GB and save it on the D: drive, it'll fail and it'll be all your own fault!

Forget all the others, you need Verbatim 2.4x DVD+R DL media. They're the only ones that give consistently good results.

Yeah, it's that or you've got a faulty batch of discs.

I'd be very surprised if the PC that burnt / verified the disc then failed to play it! The verify stage has proved it can read it, so if it won't play, maybe the files weren't right in the first place? What software are you playing the disc with?

Don't forget, it's normal for the device buffer to empty out when the drives perform WOPC type functions. Mine do it too.... don't worry about it too much!

If the drive won't verify, it's because the burn it just made was of low quality - well, it's that or the drive is faulty. Try burning at 8x, you might find it does a better job nearer the media's proper 'rated' speed (i.e. 16x) rather than the slowest it will do. No you should not just ignore verify errors, they signify problems somewhere in your config / setup.

If it burns and verifies in the laptop, the laptop drive MUST be able to read it ok - is ImgBurn set to eject the tray between burn / verify? (If not, what I've just said may not apply!) Or perhaps when you say you burn + verify and then 'put it back into my computer', you're actually talking about a different computer?

What do you mean 'why' ?! Ok, so it does depend on the exact error message you're getting, but that's pretty much the very question the FAQ answers! Follow the FAQ and do what it says. You'll then find the problem and hopefully can eliminate it.

Looks to me as if you have a duff image (the UDF filesystem is screwed) - or it's just one ImgBurn cannot read / doesn't support. What made the image? Where did you get it from?

Verify that same disc a few times against the same image. Does the error ever change? (by that, I mean the LBA of the error and the byte values) You could have a duff cable that's causing corruption to the data stream. It could also be your memory - run memtest+ on it.

RITEKF1 discs are useless. You'd do well to get some different ones. That image is CD size anyway, how comes you're burning it to a DVD? You could also check and see if there are any firmware updates available for your drive. Finally, next time you burn something, tell ImgBurn to 'Verify' the burnt disc too - it's just a little checkbox on the main screen. If it burns and verifies ok, there's no reason for other programs to not see the data - unless the image was screwed up in the first place. Maybe Windows just isn't refreshing properly?

You need another program. UltraIso, PowerIso etc should do the trick.

Recreate the image using ImgBurn's 'Build' mode. You can't use ImgTool Classic for double layer images.

I've already done this for the next version.

This is detailed in the FAQ.

hetster, Can't you post a log of one of your burns + verify failing.

As lmao2k said, you need to find an update for your usb enclosure too. Even with decent discs, it'll be no good if you keep getting... ... type errors.

Verify should be 100% accurate, yes. If you get an error when burning + verifying a DVD image, you've got a problem somewhere.

Why on earth would you join this forum and talk about Alcohol 120%?! Your drive doesn't support those discs. A firmware update may fix that but the discs are pretty awful anyway.
