Only way to find is to try, I'm affraid.

I'm just curious. Why aren't you use Video_TS folder instead of ISO when copy and let ImgBurn to Build the final disc from Video_TS folder? That way you rule out the bad ISO creation. Or maybe you wanna to try mount the ISO and Build the new disc rather than burn the ISO. Would you wanna try?

You have a drive with bad reputation. You have to choices: buy better media or buy a drive that burns that media you are using The media are 8x after all and your drive claims that it can burn it only at 2.4x

Se how you can find previous ImgBurn logs and reopen the log window http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=14632 You should not close the log window. It is there with a purpouse.

You restored from the Recovery Partition, did you restore to an earlyer stage with System Restore or reinstalled from scratch? How was the first time, it came installed or you did the installation. You may missed the chipset/storage drivers. How is looking now a log, you have more speeds available?

If you intend to play it on a regular DVD player it is your only option to convert the files to DVD Video (VIDEO_TS). Might be your player supports .mkv but you did not mentioned. See player's manual for the supported video formats. To write the file as is to a Dual layer DVD use Write files/folders to disc. Depending on the length of the video you will lose some visible quality if you squeeze more than two hours on a Single layer DVD. To preserve quality you can make the project fit to a Dual layer DVD. You can try DVD Flick instead of Total Video Converter to see if its faster to do the job.

It is literaly written on it rewritable or you got fooled by DVD+RW Alliance logo? http://www.dvdrw.com/ Even it says 2.4x on disc your drive can only burn it at 3x, 4x as it reports it.

I allways loved the skiping function on mine, it works so fast and precise in comparition to other players that I view at my friends. It has High Speed Linear Access in less than a second, it literaly jumps to track selected not scanning on track. Those were the original prices when they came out to market I think. I got it mine from a friend, can't remember the year, maybe 1995-1996 for $80 and was happy that I own a Technics CD player. It works even today, though I not used it for quite some time now. I just clean it from dust from time to time...

Three times and you still don't get it? Your drive can't burn the media you are using. Don't make us to spoon-feed you. Try those 5 points to rule out. Tell us what you tryed and where are you stuck.

Check the Feature page and you will see it is listed at Supported container formats as MPEG-2 PS, TS As long as you can play a file on your computer I think DVD Flick will import it easyly by changing to All files. There may be other programs for .m2ts specificaly, but most probably will cost you some money. DVD Flick is free and as long as it is doing what you want I'll say it's perfect.

You need to use DVD Flick to make a valid DVD Video structure (Video_TS folder with .ifo .bup .vob files in it). As DVD Flick comes with an old version of ImgBurn, I suggest to untick "Burn project to disc" in DVD Flick Project Settings. Use this Guide to burn the final Video_TS folder to disc.

The log is fine, burned and verified succesfuly. The first warning about SPTD is usual if you have installed software like Alcohol or Daemon Tools and in general not causing problem, but sometimes have a detrimental effect on drive performance on reading in verify session. The second warning is by design and is part of ImgBurn process of cycling tray before verify and waiting for device to become ready. All you can do is burn as many disc you need in next period and see how it perform. Come back with a log if it fail to write a disc. If it's not causing you trouble you can happily keep it. About Graph, maybe Cynthia or LIGHTNING UK! could tell you more if it's realy need attention the way it looks...

A full log where we can see more details like: OS, error or warning, will be more helpful than a screenshot where all seems good. http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=14632

If you are using Windows XP, I think you need this http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=pv-51944-1&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=uk&os=228&product=1824763&sw_lang=

I own a similar player to yours, mine is Technics SL-P310, and have no problem on reading any kind of home made Audio CD, even if the disc is CD-R 800/900 MB. Probably yours is a bit picky. Try a lens cleaning disc. I mostly burn them at 16x without reading problem in any player, even at 48x don't recall to be a problem for my player, or others. Actualy the 8x (16x) burn speed probably is the slowest speed that your burner/firmware/media combination allow. Maybe you can update your burner firmware, get some decent media like Verbatim or Tayio Yuden and try the speeds up to say 32x and I think will be no problem.

For archiving purpose you can put them as iso files, what many fits on a disc but it wont work as bootable to install from it. If you want to make one of those AIO disc, you have to merge them with several programs and require some knowledge and skill. That is not ImgBurn problem and it is covered here. Google sure will find some tutorials for you.

Turn on Automatic Updates and update XP to SP3 and latest patches. Update chipset/storage drivers to latest. Your drive can only burn on that media with 4x and 8x. Start looking for a new drive.

I suggest to put that hard drive in a working computer, save any personal file and do a Low Level Format with this software http://hddguru.com/software/2006.04.12-HDD-Low-Level-Format-Tool/, that will wipe out any remaining and conflicting partition on that drive. How old is the computer that you want to put Windows 7 on it?. Is it meet the mininum criteria for Windows 7 to allow installing. Check here http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/get/system-requirements.aspx

Just put it in a working computer. ImgBurn will show with what name it is recognized by system. ImgBurn will show in log something like this...

Can you install the reader in the working computer? ImgBurn can find via Tools > Drive > Check For Firmware Updates... in any mode (other than EZ) or you can manualy find a newer firmware if it exists one at http://www.firmwarehq.com/ Try read the disc back to an Image using ImgBurn with the reader on the working computer. If it reads it the drive is OK.

The firmware update in this particular situation might not help. Since your burn was verified by the drive that write it, it is considered a good burn. Worth a try, every firmware comes with improved support for a variety of discs sold on market. What you can do is take out and move the writer in your computer and try instaling from it.

Try a lens cleaning disc in that drive Try other speeds available Try other media, Verbatim are recommanded.

There is also a newer firmware D400 for your drive that you should instal http://www.firmwarehq.com/Samsung/TS-H653B/files.html Even the disc you are used is considered "junk" the burn was verified as good in that drive. The problem can be the DVD reader.

I think that this Guide is what you need http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=5555
