Yeah, from all you mentioned there, it lead you to a DL source disc. Who are "they"? These days almost any comercialy DVD comes as DVD DL from various reasons: the feature runtime is longer than ~60 min, some added commercials, multiple language sountracks and subtitles, trailers and a lot of extras, etc. So there is no room for all that on a SL disc.

In no way you can copy a DL (DVD9) disc and put it directly on a SL (DVD5) disc from one reader to the burner. You have to make a copy of that DL disc to a temp folder on your hard drive. Than use a compression tool like DVDShrink (google it) to make it fit on a SL disc. In DVDShrink you can eliminate some of you don't need to preserve quality as high as posible of the main feature. Keep in mind that DVDShrink and ImgBurn can not deal/copy copyright protected discs and here you will not find any help in circumverting the copy protection. When you sorted out the copy problem and not manage to burn it to a disc, come back and will give you advice if you need.

Oh, I thought you get it from MSDN, but you get it elswere. Your problem... anyway. Still... you should have an *.iso file in each of those x86 and x64 According to your configuration burn one of the .iso file in Write mode an you are good to go and install your OS.

What name and extesion are those files? You can put a print screen if you want of that folder content.

Capture your VHS tapes to MPEG 2 (DVD compliant) first. Than use DVD Flick to convert the capured file to a valid DVD Video structure (VIDEO_TS folder with .ifo .bup .vob file 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.

You realy don't need to add AUDIO_TS, ImgBurn will generate it however automaticaly, so don't bother it. Just drag VIDEO_TS folder to Build mode window and hit the big button. You don't have to make the ISO either, just switch to device and it will be burned directly to disc. Hope it's clear enough. For spep by step, follow this Guide.

See how easy it was? Good to know that you work it out.

Did you ever try one of the supported speeds? Maybe a lens cleaning disc would help. Also you could try update chipset/storage drivers. This site might help identify newer driver. http://www.ma-config.com/en/home/

In what format ProShow Gold 4 saved the final output files?. What is in that ISO? As I see on their site, it can output in multiple formats? I think you should choose DVD Video, they say DVD (with PC playback) It should be a folder named Video_TS with a bunch of .ifo .bup .vob files in it. Double click on Video_TS.ifo and it should be played by Media Player. If everything is OK, burn Video_TS folder to disc in Build mode. Follow this Guide.

Your drive have a new SB04 firmware, you can download it from here.. Install it and try again. Also you can try the other speed available

Any valid reason to force it to burn at 1x when your drive can only burn that disc at 2.4x, 4x, 6x? You have to try one (maybe all) of these speads, to see wich one will burn that disc correctly.

OK, your problem was sorted, but take in consideration that ImgBurn that's included with DVD SlideShow GUI, as you say, is outdated...

Any software player can't read CD TEXT out of Audio CD. Put the CD in a car stereo or a player that has support for CD TEXT and see if it is there or try to extract that CD to .mp3 with EAC or CDEx. If it has CD TEXT in it, you will see it. There is out there some kind of plugins for media players, that use a text base list extracted from CD TEXT with EAC and placed in CDPLAYER.INI. Use Google and you'll find.

Happy Birthday Cynthia! All You wish, may come true!

Update ImgBurn to latest 2.5.1.0 version, you have 2.5.0.0. Update drive firmware to latest D400 from here, you have D300 now. Try again.

http://http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=14632 Here you can find old logs of ImgBurn. Find one with problem and post it here.

For safety leave it enabled. When you are in hurry and what you burn don't matter much, you can uncheck it. Post a log, sounds like you have SPTD installed. http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=14632

As spinningweel said yor discs are CRAP (now I said it lowder) 2.4x and 4x are the only speeds your drive can burn those crappy discs. If one not works, try the other. If any of them not work, try change the crap disc you use. If you not follow our suggestions, why are you here anyway?

Try move the drive to other port if have any available and change the data cable with a new one.

Your drive is ancient. Try the latest firmware from here A lens cleaning disc could give you a helping hand. A full log would tell us more. http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=14632

I recall, some years ago I attempt to recover a such unfinalized disc, it was a miniDVD from a camcorder that the camcorder won't finalize. I used Ulead Video Studio, not remember exactly what version, I used them from v7 to v9. Even if in Explorer not show anything, Ulead Video Studio managed to import the video. I think it was Import DVD-VR... And I always know TMPGEnc DVD Author can import DVD-VR. Wanna try?

Discribe what are you intend to do and post a log of that session http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=14632

Yeah, I gave you two solutions. Extract the drivers (not run to install) to use with load drivers or integrate them directly in install disc. At least tell us motherboard brand and model if it is a desktop or the manufacturer and model if it is laptop computer, anything you know about chipset/storage controller. If now you have OS installed on that computer this site may help you identify your components.
