Yeah, those have similar blue and white branded labels to the Verbatim BD-R SL that were fantastic for a decade and then became shit over the last half year.

Invalid Field in CDB is a write error. So, it's either the hardware or the media or a combination of both. It wouldn't have anything to do with the source material being put onto the disc/into the image. Writing to an image file first is generally preferable in common usage. A lower speed might help, but most likely wouldn't. I have that model ASUS BD burner, but I've never burned a BD-R DL in it before. Or any BD media beyond SL except BD-RE DL in LG WH16NS40 and NS60. Can you provide a link to where you got these BD-R DL you're using? I'm curious to see what they look like/the packaging. If they are the branded blue and white Verbatim discs, as I said, their BD-R SL went to crap.

Wouldn't be the first incorrectly authored image, audio, or video file I've seen downloaded by people before. In fact, it seems like 50% of them are.

It sounds like you downloaded this ISO instead of creating it yourself, because whoever made the ISO didn't make it correctly. Probably the only thing you can do is use something to mount or extract the contents from the ISO to a temporary location and use Build mode in ImgBurn to create a proper ISO. Another possibility, though highly unlikely in this case, is the use of CMC Magnetics media. They are the worst media out there and should always be avoided for DL DVD. The only reliable DVD+R DL is the Verbatim DataLife Plus. NOT the Life Series you find in brick and mortar stores which are CMC. DataLife Plus can generally only be found in online stores. It's possible, though as I said highly unlikely, the cheap media could be the cause of this issue. CMC discs being even unable to burn has been a thing before in the past.

There have been many reported issues with DL BD with many burner models over the years. I've only experience with burning BD-RE DL and they aren't ready for prime time. Another problem has been Verbatim's branded blue and white BD-R have turned into trash over the past 6 months, after a decade of solid reliability. So, the bottom line is, probably, you won't get a successful burn. You could try seeing if there are DataLife Plus BD-R DL out there, though they will be inkjet printable and a bit more expensive for something you won't need. DataLife Plus are the higher quality Verbatim discs, so maybe those BD-R DL will be better. I still need to test out the DataLife Plus BD-R to see if they can still be trusted like they were in 2023/early 2024. So, the bottom line is the only hope is Verbatim's inkjet printable surface DataLife Plus, which may or may not still be reliable.

Well, it's hard to say which is at fault. If I were to make just a cursory guess, the first 2 XL discs you burned were not nearly 100% full. The one that failed apparently was. So, a 2nd burn would rule out if it was the media or the drive that's bad. Or it might be a combination of both. The drive might not like that media. I would not necessarily blame a defective drive immediately. It's most likely a combination of the media not being liked by the drive. Attempting to burn that same 2nd disc to another XL BD would be more indicative. If that fails, too, it would be more likely the media, but not defective media. Just bad media. For instance, I have proven that the for a decade Verbatim branded blue and white BD-R which were rock solid with no failures are now just junk within the last 6 months. The most common areas for failure are at the layer changes and the inner and outer edges of a disc. For XL media, burning the entire disc involves both a layer change and the outer edge.

You should never trust discs that even recover from unreadable sectors. It is indicative of some future failure down the road. And definitely any Verify failures should cause you to not trust the final disc. Just a few weeks ago, I came across a BD-R I burned about 8 years ago that had a recovered read error on Verify. That disc was partially unreadable then. I should have burned the disc again, but it recovered from the read error and a manual Verify on the disc in a new, replacement drive showed no errors. Don't bother reinstalling ImgBurn. These kinds of errors are indicative of hardware or media errors. Reinstalling ImgBurn will rarely help in those cases. The ImgBurn Log tells you what file that sector mapped to: \VIDEOS\phonevideos\201003\201003A0\31032010123.mp4

Not from that alone, no. Post the entire Log of the operation.

I don't think it's possible to make a bootable Windows DVD that runs Windows except as a recovery/install environment. Now, there is something called Windows To Go, but that apparently requires some work and a special license to run it. As for making a bootable Windows disc, I've never gotten it to work with ImgBurn. You need some preconfigured settings plus a Windows bootloader to put on the disc.
-
Yeah, I never would have guessed waiting for nearly 90 minutes would be a workaround.
-
I never waited that long, but it may have helped me in the past to do that. Getting stuck at Track 2 seems to be a common place for ImgBurn to appear getting stuck Analyzing.

I suppose this belonged in Chat rather than ImgBurn Support as it has nothing to do with ImgBurn. I've never used this program before but I am guessing what it was saying with that notice to the user is you had some files added to be turned into DVD's that weren't converted. So, when you closed/opened the application again, it detected "uncompleted" work and asked if you wanted to clear out the cache of files. Basically, to start all over again with nothing on the slate to be done.

ImgBurn can burn any kind of optical disc image you throw at it. As long as the Blu-Ray is not encrypted, ImgBurn can even copy it, although the legality of copying BD Video is up in the air depending on where you live in the world. As for BD authoring software, open source or not, I've never used any. Although for about 20 years now, I've used ConvertXToDVD to make DVD's and I think the same company makes ConvertXToHD, which would make BD Video. However, it's not open source.

How to burn a DVD movie that is playable on any DVD player
dbminter replied to Wolverine's topic in ImgBurn Support
I remember saving BASIC programs on audio cassettes. In fact, in the BIOS of even modern computers, there is still the I/O interface for data transfer between audio cassettes for backwards compatibility. I think it was initially supported all those decades ago and just forgotten about. Where I last worked, for the first 3 years I was there, we saved things on reel to reel tape! We had a 1970's mainframe that was nearly as tall as I am and I'm 6' 6.5"! -

What age are we talking? I turn 51 on January 25th. I've been working with some sort of computer since I was 10 in 1984. TI's, Commodore 64, TRS-80, 286, 386, 486, Pentium, and onward.
