[unable to save settings to registry]

Hello LUK! TY for reply.

Normally I just double-click on ImgBurn.

I tried disable AVG antivirus, but it didn't work.

 

Problem is gone only when I right-click "Run as administrator".

Maybe something gone wrong to my system during my Uninstall of previous antivirus.

 

Anyway, I uninstalled ImgBurn 2.5.5.0 from my computer, reboot, and reinstall 2.5.5.0, now the problem was gone.

Thanks for the update of new version of ImgBurn, i'll check it out.

Thank you very much!

Enjoy the holidays!

[unable to save settings to registry]

Hello all.

Whenever I quit ImgBurn lately, i get this error message "unable to save settings to registry".

I'm using ImgBurn ver 2.5.5.0

System is Windows 7 Pro 64-bit.

Recently the only thing I've changed in my system is the antivirus program, from AVAST Free Antivirus to AVG Antivirus.

I'm the only user in this computer, it is already admin.

Do I need to edit the Windows registry manually for ImgBurn?

Please advice, thank you.

BTW, Merry Christmas to all!

[Program Memory Area Update Failure]

I guess you don't really know what AWS means/does

 

http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=4249

 

WOW Thanks LUK!

Actually I did guess it was "Auto Write Speed", but what I didn't know is that the speed settings can be manually saved. Cool!

Originally I thought the speed thing was auto-detect and pre-configured already to the ImgBurn program.

8X seems to be a good speed for my media, today will be my first day to use the "little green man" hehe

Thank you Thank you

[Program Memory Area Update Failure]

Hello.

If I set the burning speed to 8x instead of "AWS", will this provide a better stable burn?

Thank you

[Program Memory Area Update Failure]

Sharing an experience from this weekend ...

 

I replaced an old drive over the weekend with an LG GH24NS70, used the same power cable, SATA cable and SATA port. But the drive is slow at the start of every burning process, kind of hang-up while buffering, and often shows this problem "Program Memory Area Update Failure". So I did a search from google and saw this error topic discussed as early as 2008 in the forum.

 

Since I'm using the same regular CMC MAG-M01-00 media from my local shop, and my write speed set to "AWS", the drive was burning at 8X as compared to similar drives from another PC burning at 12X, so I thought maybe I recheck the wirings. Then I found out that the power cable was not connected properly, I also decided to replace the SATA cable and even changed to another SATA port. But could my problem be simply the loose power cable connection? Anyway at least the drive is burning between 8X and 12X, problem solved, and I haven't seen the "Program Memory Area Update Failure" issue in the last 24 hrs.

 

Cheers guys!

[ImgBurn not burning properly]

I took my defective PC to my local shop.

They don't have the Intel board with B3 for replacement,

and would really need to send defective board to distributor.

 

To have my PC back same-day, I bought an new mainboard

ASUS P8 P67 Pro (New P67 B3 Revision)

Photo http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/Intel_Socket_1155/P8P67_PRO/

 

Good thing they don't need to re-install Win 7.

They only installed the new system drivers.

 

Many thanks to LUK! and ImgBurn.

Cheers!

[ImgBurn not burning properly]

I knew they died over time but I didn't think it would happen this soon!

 

Either way, you're better off with a B3 stepping board, especially if it's free

 

My system was bought mid-Feb this year. I guess the local shop didn't know about the recall either.

The technician told me today, it might take 3 days for distributor to get it replaced.

I'll try to negotiate to get my mainboard replace same day.

 

Otherwise I might buy a new mainboard, have them installed same day, and

use the replacement mainboard to upgrade an older PC.

 

Thank you LUK!

*** UPDATE ***

 

Hello all.

 

Just would like to let everyone know that my problem is not with ImgBurn,

but it's due to the Intel 6-Series Express Chipset problem.

 

Intel Feb 7, 2011 announcement:

"Intel Identifies Chipset Design Error, Implementing Solution"

http://www.intel.com/consumer/products/processors/chipset.htm

 

"... SATA ports 2–5 that may result in these SATA ports experiencing a functional issue over time.

Systems with only integrated SATA ports 0 and 1 enabled are not susceptible to this issue."

 

Q: How do I determine if my system is affected?

A: Desktop systems using the Intel® H67 and P67 Express Chipsets and mobile systems using the

Intel® HM67 and HM65 may be affected by this issue. Intel recommends that end users contact their

place of purchase or system manufacturer for more information.

 

Q: Which specific Intel®-branded desktop motherboards are affected?

A: Intel®-branded desktop boards that are potentially affected include:

DP67BG, DH67CL, DH67GD, DH67BL, DH67CF, DP67BA, DP67DE, DQ67SW, DQ67OW, DQ67EP, DB65AL.

Intel-branded desktop boards based on H61 SKU of Intel® 6 Series Express Chipsets have not gone

into production with B2 stepping and are not affected by this issue.

This includes DH61CR, DH61BE, DH61WW, DH61DL and DH61AG. The Intel-branded desktop board layout

diagrams showing the SATA connectors are available at: http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/sb/CS-032282.htm

 

 

I've contacted my place of purchase, and they will replace my motherboard this weekend.

Hope this helps for those with Intel 6-Series Express Chipset.

You are not yet running SP1 for Win7, you might want to consider downloading that as well.

 

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/downloads/service-packs

 

Thank you Rincewind, I'll look into this Win 7 SP1 also.

Many thanks!

[ImgBurn not burning properly]

Yeah, try installing the Rapid Storage Tech driver from here - http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?ProductID=3334&DwnldID=20023&lang=eng&iid=dc_rss

 

You should put that on if the controller is in AHCI or RAID mode. I think it'll say it's not required if you aren't in either of those two modes.

 

Hi LUK!

I've installed the Rapid Storage Tech driver.

This also provides system status of both harddisks and ATAPI devices.

Currently system is functioning properly.

Originally I was thinking of reinstalling Win 7, good thing I came to this forum first.

Thank you.

 

About the media "CMC MAG-M01-00" dye being not decent, you were right.

I've tried a different batch from the same brand and burning was without problems.

I guess the dye has a stability issue.

Thank you.

[ImgBurn not burning properly]

That error is from your controller drivers - potentially masking a real error from the drive.

 

What chipset does your board use? What controller is the drive attached to?

 

Try burning at 8x, you'll have more chance of getting a decent burn.

 

'CMC MAG-M01-00' isn't a dye we'd associate with decent discs.

 

Hi LUK

I'm using an Intel DH67BL mainboard

Mainboard Photo http://www.intel.com/Assets/Image/prodlarge/DH67BL_lg.jpg

Mainboard Overview http://www.intel.com/products/desktop/motherboards/db-DH67BL/DH67BL-overview.htm

 

The mainboard supports Intel Rapid Storage Technology for RAID 0,1,5 and 10.

But I don't use RAID, should I still install the drivers to the system?

 

It uses the Intel H67 Express Chipset.

The harddisks are connected to the 2 blue SATA controller of the mainboard.

The 2 LG drives are connected to the 2 black SATA controller of the mainboard.

There is one red SATA controller with no device connected.

 

I've been using HP DVD+R due to its lower costs.

OK I'll try to burn at 8X.

 

Thank you.

[ImgBurn not burning properly]

Hello all. I've been using ImgBurn awhile now, and currently using the latest version 2.5.5.0

Yesterday was still okay, but today I'm having problem burning.

 

I'm using Windows 7 Pro 64-bit, LG GH22NS50 drive and HP DVD+R media.

 

Is my LG drive bad and needs replacing?

Thanks in advance for advice and help.

[Browse for a Source File .... not responding in Windows 7 64-bit]

Yes, even if I restart Windows, there is possibility that problem will repeat itself, being unable to browse for a source file in the Write mode. The program would hang even if I choose from the top menu. What I did, in order to avoid the program not responding, I have to go first into Read mode, click once the browse icon, then switch back to Write mode, before I can properly browse for a file without the program hang up.

 

I have two PCs both using Windows 7 64-bit Pro, the older PC using Windows 7 from last year does not have this issue, but only the recently bought PC has the problem.

[Browse for a Source File .... not responding in Windows 7 64-bit]

I tried again earlier, changing the 2nd instance of imgburn to read mode, browse for a file, then back to "Write Image file to disc"

It works okay now!

I think it's just a Windows bug. Case solved.

[Browse for a Source File .... not responding in Windows 7 64-bit]

I'm trying to open 2 instances of the program Imgburn.

After selecting "Write Image file to disc", then choosing the "Browse for a Source File" using the icon or from the menu,

the 2nd instance of the program would just hang up, program not responding.

 

Is this an issue with Windows 7 64-bit Professional?

But I tried reinstalling Windows 7 already and still having same problem.

Please advice what else can I do.

Thank you.

[Book Type Setting: DVD-ROM (Reason: Invalid Field in CDB)]

You don't need to change anything.

 

That extra bit of text on the right of where it says 'DVD-ROM' is new and is there to help us help people - it helps us explain why the booktype stuff may or may not be working.

 

Thank you LUK !

It had me worried earlier that my "DVD-ROM" disc is somehow different ... thank you thank you.

Btw, Happy New Year to you and all moderators of imgburn forum!

Best wishes for 2011 !!!

[Book Type Setting: DVD-ROM (Reason: Invalid Field in CDB)]

If you have the book type version flashed, you shouldn't need to deal with the "NEC inside booktype setting" and you should also have the setting "Auto Change Book Type" that is normally on by default.

Yes I see default "Auto Change Book Type" inside Settings. Thank you

How about the Advanced "Configure Drive OEM" & "Drive ID"?

Do I leave it blank, or should I enter my drive details for ver 2.5.4.0

[Book Type Setting: DVD-ROM (Reason: Invalid Field in CDB)]

Hi again.

I've just upgraded to ver 2.5.4.0 but now I'm seeing this message:

"Book Type Setting: DVD-ROM (Reason: Invalid Field in CDB)"

Before I only see "Book Type Setting: DVD-ROM"

Any setting I miss or can I continue burn without problem?

Thank you.

 

My drive is a LiteOn "iHAS324 Y" Optiarc model

Firmware been upgraded to Liggy's firmware before.

And I've chosen NEC inside booktype setting.

[DVD+R booktype to DVD-ROM DVDRW drive list]

I think I got it.

Now I chose NEC instead of LiteOn, before choosing the DVD+R Media.

And I was able to change bitsetting to DVD-ROM.

Is my LiteOn now a NEC because of the Liggy's firmware

[DVD+R booktype to DVD-ROM DVDRW drive list]

LiteOn, Samsung and LG burners can do it right out of the box. Optiarc and Pioneer (avoid the 118/218 models) burners can do it after flashing a modified firmware.

 

Now if you meant DVD+R DL then all burners automatically booktype that type of media to DVD-ROM.

 

Thank you mmalves. Local stores have LiteOn and LG. Previously I was using LiteOn iHAS324A.

Now I've bought a LiteOn iHAS324-32Y, but unfortunately the firmware seems won't do bitsetting.

I have just patched the firmware with the one from Liggy's site, flashed process successfully.

 

Now I'm having a problem with imgburn when I try to choose DVD+R Media.

Error message: "Unknown (FAILED!) Reason: Invalid Field in CDB."

 

What is CDB?

Under Advanced settings Drive OEM, I chose "LiteOn" and Drive ID is "ATAPI iHAS324 Y"

Is this what's causing the problem?

Thanks to all who can help. TY

[DVD+R booktype to DVD-ROM DVDRW drive list]

Hi. I need to buy a new DVD-RW that can booktype DVD+R discs into DVD-ROM.

Which brand(s) and latest model(s) are capable of doing this bitsetting?

Please advise. Thank you.

[Another Burn Speed Question]

First of all, you should always use the latest version of ImgBurn. Older versions aren't supported.

 

16x is only reached near the end of the burn (i.e. when the burning laser is near the border of the disc). If there isn't enough data to completely fill the disc (e.g. less than ~4gb) then it won't reach 16x because it won't need to burn near the border.

 

You can add as many SATA burners as your system can handle and one won't impact performance of the other. As for opening several instances of ImgBurn, the bottleneck will be the HDD(s) where the image/files are being read from: if it can't keep up with the speed then there will be buffer underruns.

 

You can use the burners in sequence by using the Queue feature, have you looked at it?

 

LUK and Cynthia have also suggested the Queue in my other post, but I still haven't implemented this yet

Thank you mmalves !

[Another Burn Speed Question]

Media is DVD+R

Disc ID: CMC MAG-M01-00

Speed: 6x 8x 12x 16x

 

While waiting for enough $$$ to purchase a DVD duplicator, added a 2nd SATA DVD writer. Tried burn with both 2.4.2.0 and 2.4.4.0 but is still confused with the burn speed. I set both DVD writers at 16x but the Average Write Rate and Max Write Rate is not consistent; rate is either 7.1x - 8.1x or 10.1 - 14.4x accordingly.

 

When the rates are 7.1x - 8.1x, does it mean the media may be not good?

I'm planning to buy some Verbatim DVD+R for comparison. It's better quality, right?

 

Suppose I add a 3rd SATA DVD Writer, it will drag down all DVD Writer's burn speed?

If I opened 3 instances of imgburn, how best to keep burn speed at optimal?

Thank you for help again ^^

Yes, buy a duplicator.
