Yes, the format rate would match the write speed rate.

What 3rd party apps were you offered to install? You had the chance to opt out of installing them. It's not cool that something removed your custom searches and you should contact opencandy about that so they can get the 3rd party app developer to fix it. It's not something I've done.

If the text in that box from the CMD line is 110% the same as what gets put in there when you click the browse button and select the file manually, it should work fine. Copy and paste each version into notepad or something and compare.

What's written in the boot image file field on the 'bootable disc' tab when you close out of the error prompt? Has it been filled out with what you expect it to say?

Ignore that bit of text, it's just my signature and gets appended to all of my posts. It wasn't aimed at you.

Start with the default settings and then just change the file system selection to UDF.

Well, vcd doesn't support bin and cue so that'll never work. I have no experience of disc magic or ofs mount. If they only work with ISO images, they won't work either as it's not an ISO.

It can make an image of multisession CDs and burn them ok, it can't do it for DVD or BD though. If reading a cd, just be sure to go with the default .bin extension and don't try to manually override to .iso.

Yes, probably. You can drag and drop onto the drive's window in Explorer too. That said, you may need to have started out by having Explorer write the first lot of files to begin with. It's not something I ever do I'm afraid, so I can't be 100% sure.

A quick erase is always pointless on bdre if you're about to write to the disc anyway. All it does is write zeros to the first few hundred sectors and no doubt what you burn will do that anyway. You shouldn't need to keep full erasing the disc though. If the drive errors out during the burning process if you don't do it, it must have an issue with the discs.

ImgBurn doesn't do multisession. That functionality is built into Explorer if you're running Windows 7 or above though.

I just made an empty file of '740,880,000' bytes in size so it could in theory match the CUE you uploaded and the CUE mounted just fine in DAEMON Tools Advanced v6.2 You may have to talk to the DT people to see why their free one won't open it. It would be helpful if their error message was a little more descriptive!

Sorry, I don't see anything special with that. What's the exact error DAEMON Tools reports when you try and mount it? Are you on the latest version of DT?

What made the bin and cue in the first place? You're saying 'burned' but burning a disc doesn't give you a bin and cue file... so either you used Read mode to create it from a source disc or you got it elsewhere. Just trying to understand exactly where you're at Can you post the cue for me to look at please?

Why not let ImgBurn verify it? Is your PC your playback device for these discs? Different drives are better/worse than others. You should try some different discs.

Correct, it's not possible.

That's correct, it only works with optical discs.

They should be sorted by name. It's not a 'logical' sort, so it's not necessarily the order Windows might list them in. You can probably check the burn order using isobuster.

Indeed, that doesn't look like a new 'blank' disc. Put another new one in, you can't reuse something you've already burnt.

9.3 is a really old driver version for the controller. Try installing a more up to date version of the Intel rapid storage technology software.

I have no idea. The cycling the tray message isn't bad, it's meant to be there. The system freezing at that point isn't good though, but that's something outside of ImgBurn.

I'm going to assume you have another spare port on your board somewhere that isn't connected to that asmedia controller. Connect the drive to that instead. Optical drives don't like some controllers very much... especially if the controller doesn't have certain firmware / drivers installed.

Your drive doesn't like the discs. Have a look for a firmware update for it.

The way it does things isn't going to have changed. It would always have tried to convert to cdda format as that's what it's designed to do. So basically, if you got it to burn a dts cd, consider yourself lucky!

If it's cycling the tray, it's simply issuing the commands to eject the tray and then load it again. Something else on you system must be preventing those from completing and causing the freeze. Right click the drive selection box and pick Family Tree. Close the prompt and then copy + paste everything from the log window please.
