Thought I would update this with what I've since learned . . . I had read that I should burn BR discs at the minimum speed for best results so I was setting ImageBurn at 1X, although I think it defaulted to 2X because my discs are 2X/4X/6X. I also use ImageBurn for DVDs and CDs but I set it for AWS for these. One day I forgot to change the write speed back for BR and burned one at AWS (6X). Low and behold it verified. I did the next one at AWS as well and it too verified. I have since done about 35 and all have verified. I've come to the conclusion that the minimum burn speed isn't always the best idea. I have since never had an issue with LTH discs, no coasters, no skipping, nothing but fine movies!

Oh yes, I had forgotten about LTH and HTL. I have always used T. Y. Watershield DVD's and so just went with the same thing when I started doing Blu-rays. I did check first though to be sure my drive and player supported LTH and they're both supposed to. Good thought Lightning UK. Thanks for the suggestion.

My last two Blu-ray discs that I burned failed to verify right at the beginning of the process, and my computer is unable to read the discs at all. Strangely enough they both play fine in my Blu-ray player. Since they play, should I just be satisfied with what I have or should I try again? I'm using Taiyo Yuden 25Gig Watershield discs and an LG WH16NS40 burner and Imgburn 2.5.8.0 The log is attached. ImgBurn.log

The problem has disappeared! Cynthia had it, you should give her a raise! I had removed HP's Share to Web utility but had trouble with the Share to Web icon on my destop. When I right clicked it I got the eternal hour glass. When I tried to delete it nothing happened. I found it listed with the folders in My Computer where I was able to right click and select "disable" but since I have never used it I wanted rid of it. I wasn't able to delete the folder in My Computer nor in Explorer under Application Data so this morning I resorted to my very first OS (DOS!). I rebooted into DOS, and methodically deleted all Share to Web files and folders. When I got back into Windows, Share to Web was totally gone and I discovered ImgBurn behaved like the good little program it is. I want to say a grateful thank you to LIGHTNING UK for sticking with me on this and the ultra fast repsonses that no other tech support provides, to Cynthia for coming up with the key that opened the lock, and to LOCOENG, cornholio7, chewy, weisborg, blutach and the rest of your team behind the scene that spent time and effort on this. Your input and suggestions made me realize what a great team you all are. I learned some new things plus got myself some helpful programs and links. I hope you all have a great day today, you've done well. Thanks again. 45 minutes later . . . I just made a small donation to help support ImgBurn development.

Wow! I'll get into each suggestion and question shortly. In the meantime . . . mbam_log_4_9_2008__05_00_52_.txt

I really thought you had it there, but . . . I uninstalled HP's memories disc, removed the Share to Web thing using that control panel applet, and got rid of HPGS2WNS.DLL altogether. I'm afraid no change. I'm going to continue to work with Mike Lin's applet though and see if I can eliminate some other possibilities. Since Cynthia has seen the same thing with another program it's possible we're on the right track. I'll have to continue in the morning now. I'll run the Malwarebyte software overnight. ImgBurn_without_HP.TXT

Well here's the same test in safe mode. It stays in memory here too. If you see something you think I should temporarily remove I'll try it. ImgBurn_safe_mode.TXT

I had to cancel it. It was 45 minutes and still on my smallest drive, but hadn't found anything. I'll restart it tonight and post the result tomorrow.

Malwarebytes is running now. Looks like it'll be a while though.

Here you go . . . And BTW . . . using Process Explorer I got a list of threads pretty much like yours. When I closed ImgBurn all but the first line disappeared and ImgBurn was still resident. ImgBurn.TXT

I don't have any Borland products installed. I just downloaded and installed Process Explorer. It shows me properties of any process that really is there but when I try to get the properties of one of the ImgBurn processes that's a "leftover" it hangs and I have to call on TM again. I haven't got a clue how to use Process Manager so if you want some info just ask. And BTW my DLL's shouldn't be too outdated as I reformatted at Xmas and reinstalled everything by downloading the latest versions and drivers for everything I own. Some programs may have installed DLL's that may be old as some of the programs are old.

Here's a shot of TM showing everything I have running right now. All the Fs*** stuff is F-Secure, all the Hp*** stuff is my HP printer, SMax*** is my sound card, the rest you might know already.

I just rebooted into safe mode then loaded ImgBurn, broused for a folder, canceled and closed the program. It was still in memory in safe mode.

I don't know what you're refering to there. I have Win XP SP2 and all MS updates, and stand alone programs installed. I don't have any windows ad-ons or accelerators or customization utilities etc. Whatever it is, it affects only ImgBurn and Decrypter, and for our purposes here they're both the same thing really. No other program I have continues to reside in memory after it's closed.

I just installed the old DVD Decrypter. It stays in memory too after selecting the brouse for folder button.
