The disks are SONY. Here's the ImgBurn ID. When inserted in the PC, Windows can't read them (similar to an unfinalised -R). You can clearly see the minute or so of the recorded vid on them. As for a brand new disk, I am fresh out, now. Only got buggered ones. The Camcorder definitely recoignises them first time round - it's a Hitachi DZ-BX35E (entry level cam for I bought for Firey). And one side of the another disk I have still reads well and is recognised in the PC and cam. Trying to run a Tools-Drive-Close-Session now. Will report back. EDIT: Didn't help. Windows still can't read it and neither can the Cam. Bit stumped on this one. Regards

It can be seen - but will ImgBurn lay down the "correct" format for the Camcorder? ie DVD+RW 1.2 If so, I presume a full format is what I should be doing? Regards

Something is eating my +RWs for my Camcorder! They are standard 1.4Gb per side. I like the +RWs because they supposedly auto-finalise. They cost a bucket (A$18 per double sided DVD) and are driving me bananas. Here's the story - put in blank and the cam recognises the DVD as unformatted and "formats" the disk without a problem - I can tell that it's not a full format 'cos it takes only about 15 seconds. I can then shoot some video. Turn off the Camcorder and turn it on again and the disk can not be recognised! I noticed it did not auto finalise. Not sure if I turned it off when the "Access" light was lit (this supposedly fucks them up but good), but I don't think so. Window$ won't even recognise there is a disk there (this is usual for an unfinalised DVD-R/W but not for +R which are supposed to auto-finalise). Question: Can ImgBurn help me format these back to the start so I can at least experiment on them? I believe they use the DVD+RW spec 1.2 which is UDFFS. Thanks for any help. Regards

Why would you ignore the brackets? Bloody poms - someone oughta teach em the Queen's English!!! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Regards

I use them (Advanced AZO) but only 8x (MCC-003) and they are terrific. Here they are A$0.70 per blank, so that's a great price. Regards

@LUK! You gotta stop paying these folks off!!! :D =)) Regards

Yep - add a minus sign db!!!! Regards

Yes, you are Regards

And to think, I'm supposed to be an investment banker Regards

Macromedia flash player? See Ctrl Panel --> Add/remove progs. Haven't heard of Adobe flash. Could be my ignorance though. Regards

Just thinking off the top of my head (or blowing it outa my arse - one of the 2). You could make a little batch/reg file to kill/start things (look for help under regsvr32 to get it setup the way you want). Have that in your run or runonce key (runonce evaporates after running it). Regards

@Defenestration - you may care to buy a bigger drive!!! Regards

Hey Jersey - long time mate! Regards

Nah mate - it was Jack, alright. And I have the nerve to complain about LFC. Night all. c u tomorrow. Regards

@LFC - Dunno - wouldn't have been jack lurker though! Regards

May I then suggest that you go a write a burning program that you think users like and need? Clearly, in your eyes, ImgBurn just ain't good enough. So, go away and some time we'll come and critique your product and let you know how it stacks up. OK? In the meantime, please do not make out you are God and know what "people" want. That sickens me, quite frankly. All I know about what "people" want is that hundreds of thousands of people have decided (for themselves, strangely enough) that they like ImgBurn - that is a verifiable fact from the downloads. I truly don't like being told what's good for me. Regards

Here's the PgcEdit guide, written by a total idiot (well, that's what CD freaks says of him). http://www.digital-digest.com/~blutach/dl_..._pgcedit_v2.htm Regards

This happens to me sometimes too when the machine decides to do something different - eg download an update, download new emails etc. Try turning off outlook and see if that helps. Regards
