I usually do not burn DVD-DL's, but this time I had a big ISO, so I bought one, but unfortunately burning did not finish. I have tried searching the forum, but it does not like words shorter than 4 chars. What can I have done wrong? I never have problems with single layer DVDs.
The only thing I have noticed before the error is that IMGburn was giving a wrong estimated time: I was burning at 8x (no apps open, just booted the PC) and at about 15% it said it was going to finish in 9 mins, which is the average time it takes for a single layer disc.
This is the log:

Ok so I've figured out the problem... the nvidia drivers don't/can't handle more than 18 bytes of sense area buffer being made available - at least not when processing the 'TEST UNIT READY' command.
ImgBurn allocates 24 bytes for all its I/O and I guess that hits a bug in their code and they don't fill the buffer properly - meaning ImgBurn receives bogus error codes etc.
Anyone fancy reporting it to nvidia?
Ehr, I would be glad to do that, but your words are quite obscure to me, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to sustain any discussion on the matter with an nVidia tech...
I mean, I can cut&paste your post, but then?
Anyway if there is an easy way, I am available.

Nero lies, not all disc's are the same. Nero lies.
In this case, it was the same DVD-RW and same ISO. Not a problem for me, just posting it as a statistic info. :-)

Wow, that was fast, thanks!
Yes, it works. The only difference is Nero needed 26 sec for lead-in while ImgBurn needed 1 min 38 sec. I suppose it's because it's using an external DLL. I will wait for your results.
About log: yes, there was a DVD-RW inserted in both cases.

Hi all,
I have come to this thread after searching the forum.
I think I have the same problem or almost the same: I have installed today a Samsung SH-S203B SATA DVD-writer and ImgBurn says "Device Not Ready" *only* after trying to use it, like burn or erase. Before that it says drive is ready. I have an Asus A8N-E mobo, which has an nVidia nForce chipset (although I can't find its version number). As you can see, I have both nVidia SATA drivers and VSO. But my problem applies to ImgBurn only. I have tried to burn and erase a couple of DVD-R/RW with Nero 8 and it worked. So, do I really need to remove those drivers from my system? Why does Nero work and ImgBurn doesn't?

Ok, thanks guys, I'll look for verbatims, I wonder what's the purpose of selling media that cannot be used. Once you waste one, you won't buy that brand again..
