  1. 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:

  2. 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.

  3. 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. :thumbup:

     

    About log: yes, there was a DVD-RW inserted in both cases.

  4. 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?
