It was probably the LG's fault. For burning multiple layer BD media, well, it just doesn't work. 9 times out of 10, they burn them wrong. Even the on the fly "fix" that someone reported and I tested seemed to work at first but eventually revealed its true colors in that it doesn't properly burn to BD-RE DL media. My Pioneers have always burned them correctly. It also seems that Pioneer is one of the few companies that makes a decent quality slim drive, too? Say, maybe you can answer a question I have about slot drives like your BDR-XS06. Do you have ImgBurn's options set to automatically eject and reload media before an automatic Verify after burn? If you do, does a slot drive eject and reload the disc? I've always wondered if a drive that isn't a tray loader can do that. Thanks!

Thanks!

For over 24 hours, the View New Content option on this forum hasn't been working. It returns a database error. Actually, it returns 2 things. The header at the top of the page says forum.imgburn.com Driver Error Then, it says "There appears to be an error with the database. If you are seeing this page, it means there was a problem communicating with our database. Sometimes this error is temporary and will go away when you refresh the page. Sometimes the error will need to be fixed by an administrator before the site will become accessible again. You can try to refresh the page by clicking here ← Return to the index" But nothing really helpful, of course! It does say that the administrator may need to be contacted. So, I'm posting it here. New posts on the forum are apparently working and the forum front end loads. So, it's just something with View New Content that isn't working. Thanks!

If you have the check box for Delete Image in the Write dialog enabled and the image fails to burn for whatever reason or you cancel the Write, does the image file still get deleted? Or is it only deleted after a successful burn? Thanks!

After trying it with Auto turned off, I'm actually doing more work than I'd be doing by just clicking OK in the 2nd layer break dialog. Because without Auto calculate, I have to manually set the Options for a DVD Video job. ImgBurn will do this before building an image, but it won't let me change the ISO label field without cancelling the build and manually going in and changing it afterwards. ImgBurn will set default labels for the ISO and UDF fields, but it rarely sets them to what I want. So, I'll just stick with Auto calculate. I'm doing less work by going into the layer break options twice versus turning off Auto calculate.

It's National Brotherhood Week! Or it used to be. Here's a song by Tom Lehrer satirizing that we even need such a silly thing. That we are too stupid to just make every day it and be nice to each other all year around. One week of every year is designated National Brotherhood Week. This is just one of many such weeks honoring various worthy causes. One of my favorites is National Make-Fun-Of-The-Handicapped Week, Which Frank Fontaine and Jerry Lewis are in charge of as you know. During National Brotherhood Week various special events are arranged to drive home the message of brotherhood. This year, for example, on the first day of the week Malcolm X was killed which gives you an idea of how effective the whole thing is. I'm sure we all agree that we ought to love one another and I know there are people in the world that do not love their fellow human beings and I hate people like that. Here's a song about National Brotherhood Week. Oh, the white folks hate the black folks, And the black folks hate the white folks. To hate all but the right folks Is an old established rule. But during National Brotherhood Week, National Brotherhood Week, Lena Horne and Sheriff Clarke are dancing cheek to cheek. It's fun to eulogize The people you despise, As long as you don't let 'em in your school. Oh, the poor folks hate the rich folks, And the rich folks hate the poor folks. All of my folks hate all of your folks, It's American as apple pie. But during National Brotherhood Week, National Brotherhood Week, New Yorkers love the Puerto Ricans 'cause it's very chic. Step up and shake the hand Of someone you can't stand. You can tolerate him if you try. Oh, the Protestants hate the Catholics, And the Catholics hate the Protestants, And the Hindus hate the Muslims, And everybody hates the Jews. But during National Brotherhood Week, National Brotherhood Week, It's national everyone-smile-at-one-another-hood week. Be nice to people who Are inferior to you. It's only for a week, so have no fear. Be grateful that it doesn't last all year!

Looks like it's been taken care of. Funny thing is, Waterfox doesn't apparently use Google's "deceptive sites" list as WF never had a problem loading this page when Firefox did.

Actually, now that I think about it more closely, I can probably do without Auto calculate. In the Advanced build interface, the bottom of the window tells you the size the image will be, the media it fits on, and how much space is left on that particular media type. I generally pay more attention to that than the Calculate window's information. And if I ever need that info, I can always manually press the Calculate button in the few cases where I might need it.

Hm, I don't think turning off Auto Calculate would do me any good. I disabled it, but discovered I'd have to manually press Calculate each time I create something to make sure it doesn't exceed type size limit. It's just as "time consuming" as having to do 2 layer break calculations. I'm not saving much time either way. I think it's "more convenient" to have my jobs auto calculated and have to double up on the layer break positions versus pressing Calculate every time.

This is why I ask such things. Thanks!

When creating a DVD-9 DVD Video where the VIDEO_TS contents span across both layers, when you exit Advanced edit mode, ImgBurn asks you to set a layer break position. Then, when you go to actually build the image, ImgBurn asks, again, where you want to set the layer break position. Can this 2nd setting of the layer break position be turned off? If no, should the code behavior be altered so you're not asked twice for the layer break position? If you already know where you want to set it when first asked, it just takes extra time that you won't need to close off the dialog again. I never require changing the layer break position after I set it the first time. Thanks!

Ah, in this case, it was probably iTunes trying to read it at the same time. I had iTunes open, too, and it was loading the disc in as well on insert.

Firefox is returning this web site, via a Google recommendation, is a deceptive phishing web site. I sent a report to Google saying the site was okay, but, who knows how far that will go anywhere?

Sometimes in Read mode of CD's, I get long pauses at the Getting Media Status part. It can take up to a minute, sometimes. Is this based on the number of Tracks on a CD? I've tended to notice this happens more often on CD's with the maximum number of tracks, 99. However, some 99 track CD's in the same boxed set wouldn't do this. So, I don't know why it may happen sometimes and sometimes not. Thanks!

Yeah, I was thinking, but couldn't verify, that there was an MD5 file option available somewhere. I remember I used to get them because I had it enabled but I never used them. MDS I could, but I generally don't do anything with hashes so it wasn't something I'd think I'd ever use.

I didn't use a root kit. It was pre-installed without my knowledge on the PC. I don't remember what root kit it was that was removed. I THINK what I used to scan for root kits and remove it was Rootkit Revealer, but that was almost 7 years ago. So, I can't be sure. If you're experiencing this message, it could be the fault of a root kit. It was in my case. However, LUK says you can also get this trying to read CSS encrypted discs. Although I would think ImgBurn wouldn't return such a message in that case since it can't read encrypted discs. If you need a root kit remover, just do a Google for root kit remover. There are plenty of options available. I looked up Rootkit Revealer, but it hasn't been updated in 10 years, so it may not be right for you. However, even at 5 years old, it solved my problem.

Mine was the result of a root kit. I had just installed ImgBurn on a new PC I was setting up in 2011 and got that message. I had just started the application, nothing inserted in the drive, and ImgBurn couldn't detect any drives because the maximum number of secrets had been reached. So, I posted about it and you recommended I do a scan for root kits, which I had one pre-installed with the PC. After removing it, ImgBurn detected drives fine. Microsoft's definition of a secret is "A secret is an encrypted piece of information, such as a password or user name." It says if you receive that error message to contact the supplier of the application returning it. So, there is no real general definition of a secret. Secrets vary depending on the application. A little further digging says the reason there is a finite cap on secrets is something imposed by the US government. It's a standard Windows error message. However, why this message would pop up on systems outside of America would be beyond me. So, I'm inclined to slightly doubt the statement they're imposed by the US government as a possible conspiracy theory.

About the message that sometimes comes up, something like Maximum number of secrets has been reached. I've gotten it before, but what exactly does it mean? What is a "secret?" Why does Windows allow them and why are there only a finite number of them allowed?

Yes, that sound like a wraparound. In fact, if you click the first mirror, like the OP apparently did, you get a page with a Download button that says Download Manager Enabled. Try the last mirror, the "official" ImgBurn download mirror, and compare hash info. The file it distributes is SetupImgBurn_2.5.8.0.exe.

Yes, from that link, the FLAC link for installing madFlac. It's a series of files installed by a .BAT batch file. Takes less than a half minute to set up.

I can verify the steps for installing the FLAC encoder work. After LUK told me where they were.

Yeah, in other words, the author of the software, LUK, will have to address that as I have no knowledge of the hashes. Sorry.

LUK fielded another post similar to that about mismatching hashes. He said they actually were matching. I never do hash comparisons so it's beyond my expertise to comment any further.

It seems to be a false positive with NS then.

Where are you downloading it from? Try one of the mirrors here: http://imgburn.com/index.php?act=download They all can't be corrupt. If NS still flags each one from all 7 mirrors, it's probably a false positive. It's not like Norton AV has NEVER had a false positive. I know that from experience.
