  1. its imminent is about as much as anyone can say . the only person qualified to really answer this one is Lightning_UK himself.

    When he's happy then he will release it.

     

    I'd get v2.3.2.0 and get started with it whilst your waiting if i was you.

  2. when you install Imgburn, it will give you the option to check for program updates as well. so you could use the current one as per spinners advice above , and change to the new version when its released and you feel confident using it.

    Its not a big download anyway, less than 2 MB

     

    the new version will look similar to the current version anyway( apart from new additions to it of coarse), so you will know your way round most of it anyway

  3. use the "check for firmware updates" feature within ImgBurn

    In rwrte Mode, hit TOOLS > DRIVE > check for firmware updates

     

    there is a couple of options, but let ImgBurn sort them out for you.

     

    I "think" you will be able to go up to 203E which i also think is for Dell machines

  4. if you've got 2 drives ( 1x rom/writer and a 2nd writer,, or 2 writers) the new version will let you read from the rom drive in build mode and write to the writer all in 1 go :thumbup: providing you slow the write speed down a little on the burner drive

  5. for each copy of the wedding video you do , it lets you know what each year of marraige is going to be like ..................................... they just get worse :thumbup:

     

    check the FAQ page for why you got

    W 00:46:18 DeviceIoControl(FSCTL_LOCK_VOLUME) Failed! - Reason: Access is denied.

    W 00:46:18 DeviceIoControl(FSCTL_DISMOUNT_VOLUME) Failed! - Reason: Access is denied

     

    EDIT , must stop posting when im pissed at 4.30am LOL , even though the typo's seem to improve

  6. do you see the pink/red bit at the top?

    we need more info from you , to be able to assist you ;)

    Im having the same issues with new dvd players all the dvd 's i have copied and played will not play on these new machines. Even my home movies. The machine is a magnavox, so now ive spent hours looking online for a soulution. Havnt found one yet.

     

    as per the previous answer , post a log file from 1 of those discs

  7. as an extra ,you could check "Test Mode" for every burn , this doesnt actually write anything to the disc, then when you've had an extra 8-10 minutes to think about things, uncheck it and burn it to disc >_<

     

    With any prog there has to be a certain amount of "user intervention" . I can see the point your trying to make , but as mentioned, once the laser starts working theres no going back................unless its in Test mode :whistling:

  8. thanks for the quick reply

     

    I already did, and i also reinstalled the IDE controller.

    but if that was the problem then the first disk would have been burned at 1x and not at 16x...... right?

    The device buffer goes up and down quite a lot, between 20% and 99% does anyone know what could cause this?

     

    Also in your signature your saying use verbatim, i'm burning normal 4.7 gb dvd-r, is it still better to use verbatim then?

     

    Taiyo yuden and Verbatim is probably the most consistant medias amongst burners and players, you may e lucky and use cheaper media that works for you, but the same media may not work for someone else. so we suggest TY and Verbs as these work for near enough everyone . I personally use Taiyo's and have only found 1 standalone player that wouldnt play them correctly.

     

    Its possible that your philips drive doesnt have a proper write strategy for 16x tdk , most likely cause though is DMA issues or possibly your actual burner. what model burner is the philips.

     

    what happens if you choose 8x ?, does it burn ok faster than 1x ?

     

    have you set up automatic write speeds ?? and accidently set the TDK 16x at 1x ?

     

    your happy you've followed the FAQ exactly as it says ? ( and no im not trying to suggest you didnt ) but its worth trying it again

  9. One thing that would be nice, although I don't know how possible it would be is some speed/burn level control. As I mentioned in another thread, I usually burn all discs at 8x...and sometimes 6x if my HDD is fragmented. Otherwise looking at the "rings" on the disc there are areas that are fainter when the drive switches speeds or ramps up the speed from the 4-8x it gets to fairly quick to 12X+ which takes it until mid disc to get to. Is it possible to send the drive a command to tell it to say..."Get to 12x, then start burning", so it is up to speed and the whole disc is burned at the same rate and no sections at a different rate?

     

    this is controlled by your drives firmware and write strategy and physics

    your drive writes faster at the end than the beginning , so the write strategy controls thi speed thru out

  10. without scrolling back thru everything, does your back up program give you any option on where to save and if you can rename the destination from its settings ?

     

    what program are you using to make your back ups ?, someone else must have had this problem in the past as well

  11. in build mode all you need is a folder containing 1x VIDEO_TS folder and 1 x AUDIO_TS folder

    for example lets say you name the top folder as "project" then within the "project" folder you should have 1 x folder called VIDEO_TS and 1 folder called AUDIO_TS

     

    "project" folder should have the following 2 folders inside it

    the VIDEO_TS folder which should contain BUP files IFO files and VOB files

    and

    the AUDIO_TS folder, which doesnt usually have anything in it

     

    when you see the source window, hit the folder icon to the right of it ( hover over it and it says "browse for a folder" )and browse to your "project" folder source in BUILD mode , just select the folder called "project"

    then ImgBurn will know your trying to create a DVD compliant ISO or Disc

     

    if i understand what youve explained, and you end up with VIDEO_TS folders within VIDEO_TS folders, just empty the contents of 1 folder into the other, and delete the empty VIDEO_TS one, likewise if you dont have an AUDIO_TS folder, just create a new folder and name it AUDIO_TS ( in caps and with an underscore between AUDIO and TS

     

    hope thats of some help

  12. in WRITE mode

    go to TOOLS , then DRIVE and choose "Check for firmware updates"

     

    on the bottom row it will tell you what firmware your curently using.

     

    if its a E*** then use the next E(number) firmware from the list and work your way up to the highest E(number) firmware available

     

    if its a 1.0? then use the next 1.0? number up from yours, until you get to the highest number shown on the list

     

    dont have a disc in the drive when you do it, and make sure the power supply doesnt get interupted whilst doing it.

     

    the simple way to decide is .whats your PC ?, a Dell or a fujitsu ? if its dell then use the E number firmware , if its a fujitsu use the 1.0* firmware
