Hi, I have a Cd master that came from the audio studio of my sons band. I want to make copies of that to sell. I tried to make an image from Image burn but it said not right file type. I ripped the files from the cd to wave files onto the hard drive using Exact Audio Copy. But is this really right? I then decided to put track names on Cd so I used Burrrn and I think it did this correctly. But if I use that program there is no verify function and it appears no save function so when you close the program and reopen you have to retype in all the track info. I am about to give up on the track name issue and just go with burning unless someone can tell me a way so that I can get the track names on there and then make an iso and then use image burn with it's verify function.

Success at last ! Thanks for the help. I went from using a dual core athalon with 2 gigs of ram and a liteon drive to an old 1100 mhz computer with 512 megs and a samsung drive. I now seem to be able to burn them with out trouble. I think it is the samsung drive that is working. I was able to update the firmware in the samsung with something recent. The liteon's that I have don't have any updates available for the firmware and they were purchase a few years ago.

I tried it a 4x and got the failed message again. Also I notice that in imgburn the program goes through the whole process and acts like it is doing great and then in verify the program says fail. But when you take the disc out and look at it it is obvious that the disc failed way earlier and did not make it to the end. It looks like the lazer got stuck have way and burnt grooves in the disc. Nero at least burns the thing and it is truly burnt and it plays but does not pass verification. Doug

They are verbatim and the package says made in Singapor and the info part of Imgburn says MKM-001-00. The first successful one I burned in Nero was at 4x and then when I had trouble I went down to 2.4. I will try some at 4x. I also found a bad spot on the ones I have burned. It is not at the layer break and it seems that by moving the movie slider around I can find the layer break on the dvd. It plays fine on both sides of it. The problem is earlier in the movie not at a menu or anything fancy just a scene where the movie gets jerky and then freezes up. Thanks for the help. Doug

I have been burning discs on three different home computers for the last two years. These are movie dvds and I have been using Ridata 16x printables. I would say that in doing about 100 to 150 a month I get maybe one bad one every two months. Now I have decided to get in to the double layer process to put more on one disc. I first purchase dvd - RDL. I quickly found out that these are no good because none of my burners supports them. So I got + rDL and I went into Nero and burned the first one. It verified and plays well. I burned another and and it worked. When I went to burn more they all are failing verification. So I got imgburn and burned some with it. I think I got one good one but all the rest fail. I have to do more checking but one of the ones that failed seems to play fine in the computer. Or at least I can not find the problem, it has 8 hours of video on it. My question is; should I just forget the idea of using dl discs? I see where it takes 30 minutes to burn and if you are only going to get one or two good ones out of twenty they are very expensive. I am wondering if I should some how go into the video and try to set a layer break in the editing process? Would that help? I tried to burn a image of the video files and that completed successfully but when I tried to burn that it failed. I will attach my log files I think the first one I am showing is a failed burn of video files. //****************************************\\ ; ImgBurn Version 2.4.2.0 - Log ; Friday, 23 January 2009, 21:19:35 ; \\****************************************// ; ; I 19:16:19 ImgBurn Version 2.4.2.0 started!
