He may use the same discs but sure not uses your drive...

Here are what you can try http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=8000

This might help you with the flashing thing http://binflash.cdfreaks.com/ Yes, you need to restart after the flash and also after reset DMA if you intend, in order to redetect the drives.

The log looks fine. Burn and verify OK. ImgBurn has done its job perfect, hence you can play it on computer. Your problem may lay in players compatibility to read the media you use or most probably PAL/NTSC system incomaptibility. Does your players support both standards? Look in manual.

ImgBurn was designed to burn various types of disc images. In time it was added a Build mode to create discs from files/folders from hard drive. ImgBurn burns the files "as is", it does't modify the files in any way. What you give in, is what you get out to disc. DVD Flick was designed to transcode a various video files in a standard DVD Video structure. It uses his own version ImgBurn (old v2.4.4.0) to burn the output of the transcode to disc. Now, if your standalone DVD player can't play other type of files (avi, mpg, mkv) you need to use DVD Flick or similar program to make the DVD Video structure and finaly burn that to disc with ImgBurn. There are guides at DVD Flick how to use it and here, on this forum you can find the guide to burn a DVD Video disc using ImgBurn. http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showforum=4

You can change the write speed in the Device tab on the right. There you will see the line (with the disc in the drive) Supported Write Speeds: Only pick what's available. Try all, one by one. If it manage to burn and verify OK at a lower speed it's alright, you don't have to abandon them. In case it don't, you have to try the 2.4x version media MKM-001-00. It is more accepted by a variety of drives but seems is more harder to get them now.

Update to latest firmware and try again http://www.firmwarehq.com/NEC/ND-1100A/files.html Post a log as the pink box above instructs.

OK, you edited the post with the log... Laptop/slimline burners aren't a good choice when you burn Double Layer's. You are using 8x rated media and your drive can burn that disc at max 6x. Try 4x and then 3x to see if that produces a better burn. Try to find 2.4x rated media MKM-001-00

Post the log as the pink box above instructs. In the meantime update ImgBurn to current version.

This is the latest firmware for your drive http://www.firmwarehq.com/LG/GH22LP20/files.html You currently have 1.03 installed. Did you installed 2.0? If not working either, follow the other steps, cleaning the drive lens/use other speeds/Verbatim discs. Post the new log. If Verbatim disc don't go, most probably your drive is toast.

Disconnect the Samsung drive and leave the writer as master single on cable. Try flashing the drive again.

It should, but we don't know if it would, until you try...

Yes, that option to close track/session/disc is for when another program or a DVD recorder not finalize the disc.

Do you use the latest version of ImgBurn. If not, update it and try again. Post the whole log, not just a cut of, there are more important stuff there, that can help us to pinpoint the problem.

Do you know that is a pinned topic with exactly this title? http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=8000

Your drive isn't show any available burn speed for that MID, meaning it's not quite know it. http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=8000 Do you have the latest driver for chipset/controler installed?

This drive is a clone of Lite-On LH-18A1H. Try updating the last firmware listed for Lite-On and try again http://www.firmwarehq.com/Ativa/LH-1H18A/files.html

Try a new disc from the spindle. Can you post a log of a burned disc? Look in the pink box above for instruction how to.

Laptop drives aren't such a great burners at all, regardles of manufacturer. Obviously, the drive in the other laptop managed to burn the disc but your's not. This is due to drive/firmware/media combination. You can try a lower speed instead MAX, you only left 4x. Try some quality disc from Verbatim or Taiyo Yuden.

Your description is a little vague. Can you describe im more details what you intend to burn? Is it a DVD Video or other type of files? What Guide you followed? Did you start to burn that disc and stopped? Post the log as the pink box above suggest.

ImgBurn don't alter the files in any way, it burns them "as is". You need to look at DVDFab output settings

Samsung can't do anything regarding to disc quality. As you can see Samsung is trying to fix what it can and LUK! gived you already the link to latest updated firmware listed on 3rd January, 2011. Did you instaled it?

Don't listen to old stories. That was a long time ago. All you need is a good quality burn at whatever speed is that possible. For that you need to try all the speeds available and always verify your burns. Only that will ensure you that the disc is readable, at least in the drive that burned it.

You are confusing disc image (ISO, BIN, NRG, etc.) with picture image (JPG, BMP, PNG, etc.) That function is to burn disc images to disc not picture images. You need to use Write files/folders to disc. Read the Guides for The ImgBurn Functions http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showforum=4 You'll use CD or DVD acording to what amount of data you have to free from hard drive. A DVD can hold ~ 6 CD's or more.
