What are SACD musical discs? They can't be audio CD's. Audio CD is capped at less than 1 GB total size. So, they could be DVD-Audio discs. 7.97 GB would fit on a DVD+-R DL. You're better off not merging the contents from the ISO's in this case. You're better off inserting the original source SACD and copying the contents from it. Inferring they're not CD's, which they can't be. Not at 7.97 GB. If they are audio CD's, then something else is up because no audio CD can be 1 GB or greater. Since I don't know what SACD's are, I don't know if they're proprietary. If they're not actual audio CD's, then you can copy the contents. If they are audio CD's 1.) you can't copy the contents in Build mode and 2.) something is wrong because CD's can't be 1 GB. Actually, you may be better off in this case inserting the SACD disc that Super Author made 2 ISO's out of and using ImgBurn's Read mode to read to a single double layer ISO file. Then use ImgBurn to burn that. You'd have a better likelihood of success and getting an exact copy doing that, probably.

Um, I don't know what's going on here but any program worth its salt will NOT generate two separate ISO's, one for each layer, for a double layer target image. What are the sizes of these two ISO files? Maybe the first ISO is already a double layer disc and the 2nd ISO was generated for a 2nd disc because it exceeded a DVD+-R DL. In that case, the ISO would need to be burned to a BD disc. But, the program should still have created only 1 ISO. I just don't see why this program couldn't just create 1 ISO with both layers on it. Anyway, you can't burn more than 1 image to an disc. Your best bet is to use ImgBurn's Build mode and merge the contents from the two ISO's into a new image it builds. Open each ISO in File Explorer and copy the contents to a temporary folder from each ISO. Then, add those files in Build mode. Unless you need something specific like a bootable disc. Then, you're better off injecting the files into one of the ISO's with something like UltraISO.

I was going by it was one of only 3 clickable options there because there were 3 highlights. And I know aqui means here, so I guessed at the possible word being click because it was spelled similarly. Usually, links at the bottom are generally ones for the user agreement and other general software manufacturer links. So, I ruled those out.

Ah, I didn't think about the OS might have been assigned a different language. And that the OP might be multilingual or using a translation engine to post in English. Yeah, sometimes I'm pretty stupid.

I believe the Clique aqui line means Click here to customize your install. That might have been the necessary step to prevent installation. However, admittedly, what good does it do when the bundleware being offered is in a language you can't read?

I did decide to look it up, smart guy! In fact, it seems I had a DVD burner that probably had a 2nd laser in it. Came across an instance of a BD burner with 3 lasers! One for CD/DVD, one for Blu-Ray, and the third for burning Lightscribbe labels. So, it seems that Lightscribe capable DVD burners might have had a 2nd laser for burning the Lightscribe label side. I had a few LiteOn DVD burners that were Lightscribe capable.

That explains why a Blu-Ray can fail to start burning correctly, but CD's and DVD's can. Or the other way around. Doesn't explain how a burner can start failing on all DL DVD media but not SL media. I had wondered if Blu-Ray might be closer to Violet Ray. Why jump from red to blue but stop short of the last two colors of the spectrum, indigo and violet? So, there's nowhere to go from Blu-Ray, then? There won't be an Indigo Ray or Violet Ray?

Are Read speed rates set as a flag on each disc? Like how recordable discs have their rated Write speeds set on the physical media itself? Or is that even relevant? Is it entirely set in the drive's firmware? Or is it a combination: there's a maximum rated Read speed on the media and it's down to the drive's firmware to support that maximum speed or less? Thanks!

There are 2 different lasers in a BD burner? Is that true? I did not know that. Why is that? Are there 2 different lasers in a standalone Blu-Ray player, one for CD/DVD and one for Blu-Ray?

One thing I just happened to come across randomly, but after testing it a few times, I've determine it does seem to be happening. ImgBurn can eject a disc with the Eject command even when a "write operation" to a formatted disc as a giant floppy in File Explorer has not completed yet. I don't know if there's a way to check for this before ejecting, but if there is, can it be added to ImgBurn? The way I do it now, to be safe, I don't use ImgBurn's Eject command when a disc formatted as a giant floppy by File Explorer is in a drive. I use File Explorer's Context Menu Eject command. If the write operation hasn't been completed yet, File Explorer won't eject the disc. Thanks!

You can retrieve the Log from Help in ImgBurn.

The "easiest" solution, for me, is to use DVDShrink to shrink the DVD-9 VIDEO_TS contents you want to burn to a DL disc by a few percentages. Once you get a shrunk size that ImgBurn will accept, you can burn that. With most modern DVD players, you generally get upscaling on DVD playback from recordable DVD discs. (It's a long story on media versus video connection combination about whether you'll get upscaling or not.) With upscaling, you won't notice the difference. Plus, if there are audio tracks you don't need, like foreign language tracks you'll never listen to, you can remove them with DVDShrink and maybe not need to shrink the contents by anything.

I think I may have been the victim of a possibly messed up Windows configuration. I restored back to my last image made after the installation of Fall Creators Update and updated Windows Update updates to the latest Windows 10. I don't seem to have the light constantly flashing anymore or the slow down. I'll have to see if any thing I installed or updated since then, in my list of things I've done, causes the issue to return. I had hoped to put off doing this until the new Windows 10 version came out. That way, I could update Windows 10 and all of my applications at the same time. Theoretically, an install of a new Windows 10 version from the ISO may have fixed my slow down issue. Well, I've updated a few things and so far everything is going well.

I'm not entirely sure how I'd do that. I don't even know what speed this HDD is rated at. I believe it's a 7,200 RPM, but I don't know. I do think it's the Spectre/Meltdown BIOS update. I restored an image of Windows a bit back to test it, with nothing else installed, and it did the same thing with the HDD light.

That does help, thanks! I'm mostly concerned about this because of my most recent BIOS update to patch Spectre/Meltdown. I did take some noticeable hits. For instance, Freemake Video Converters conversion of 1 hour MP3's to MP4 video container files leaped from 2 hours for 4 of them to 8 hours! I'm also getting some slow down in creating image files in ImgBurn to HDD. However, my PC was bought in 2014, so its Spectre/Meltdown hit is going to be higher. However, I've been getting more and more buffer recovery hits lately burning media. That's because ever since I updated the BIOS, my HDD light stays on pretty all the time for extended periods of time. And it's constantly, pretty much, going off and on when it's not. So, the drive is being accessed more since the update. In fact, sometimes the access is so severe I have to restart the PC to "recover" from this slowing down. These buffer recoveries during Writes can last about 2 minutes. I'm just concerned that, some day, a write will never resume because the HDD is constantly being accessed.

So what does Average Disk Queue Length mean it says 1.0? 1.0 what? What are the potential consequences of disabling Buffer Recovery? Would it be a return to the days of buffer (I TYPOED BUGGER! ) underrun errors?

Thanks! Unfortunately, I couldn't check the Settings myself to see because I was formatting a BD-RE DL, which takes 90 minutes. I didn't think about just opening a 4th (I was actually formatting 3. ) instance of ImgBurn and checking the settings myself.

Freemake Video Converter, I think, can do the same thing. And it's "free." Better features, of course, cost. Also, I'd think any DVD player should play CD's, too. As long as the device supports displaying JPG and loading them from CD, it would work with CD's.

When creating an image file to disk, ImgBurn says in the bottom of the main interface windows "Writing Image...". Sometimes, this message disappears and is very briefly replaced by another message. However, it appears so swiftly, I don't know what it says. I believe I've made out the phrase "Data Storage Area," but I can't be sure. What exactly does this output message say and what does it mean? Thanks!

Sometimes, a Write operation is put on pause when some kind of disk read Threshold is reached. The target for resumption, I believe, is 1.000. What exactly does 1.000 mean? 1.000 what? Also, not that I want to do it, but is this Threshold value a constant set in ImgBurn or is it a variable the user can designate? Or can this even be turned off somehow? Thanks!

Pioneer did a somewhat similarly silly thing with their tech support with me recently. I told them their BD-209M and D series drives don't recognize Ritek 6x DVD-RW when inserted. (Most drives don't, anyway. Only LiteOn DVD and LG BD do.) They forwarded me a PDF of all MID's their drive supports, because they said not all Ritek media were supported. The PDF contained the MID of the discs they said it supports, but doesn't. When I pointed this out to them, the best I got was they said they'd forward it to the engineers. Now, it is possible that a BD drive might support BD-R XL/TL but not BD-RE XL/TL. My first DVD+R drive was an HP that only supported DVD+R, not DVD+RW. They said it would eventually support DVD+RW with a firmware update and then later finally had to admit they were lying because the drive laser was never designed to support DVD+RW!

I'm not entirely sure, but I think if ImgBurn does a Format before a Write to an unformatted rewritable disc, it does not eject the tray after Format is finished and before Write starts. I'm only going by memory here, but I think that's the case. If there's not such an option, I'd like for there to be one to eject the tray after Formatting is finished but before Write starts. On my Pioneer BDR-209D, when it formats before writing Ritek 8x DVD+RW, it seems to want to fail on Verify. If I manually do the Format before the Write and let the program eject the disc after Formatting and then do the Write manually after reinserting the disc, it doesn't seem to do this. So, though it probably shouldn't make a difference, it seems in this case that ejecting after Format but before Write might make a difference for me. Thanks!

Yeah, the optical disc market is pretty much dying. So, I also doubt we'll ever see a development of BD-RE discs so they write faster than 2x. It's been like 10 years since the introduction of recordable BD, and we're still only at 2x for BD-RE. But, it does beat 1x. Man, I can remember the days of DVD writing at 1x back in 2002. You'd spend 59 minutes of your 1 hour write time, only to get a buffer underrun error at the very end and lose all that time and a disc. Buffer underrun protection was one of the best technologies ever put into optical burners.

I've never heard of those two drives by their ID string. Maybe they're junk? Are they slim model drives? If so, that might explain it, as they're junk. Since you're using the quality Verbatim media, the problem is something to do with your drive. It doesn't like those discs for whatever reason. You could try disabling SPTD and see if that helps That can cause read problems, where you're getting this failure.

No prob! Sharing (information) is caring!
