I built a DVD Video image and tried to burn it to a DVD+RW but it said it would require overburning. I checked the Image Information and it said Minimum Required Media was DVD-R/RW with Free Space of 1,507,328 bytes. So, I'm guessing DVD+RW is slightly smaller in terms of writable size than a DVD-RW?

UDF 2.6 is probably what you want for 256 character file names ala Windows. I'm only guessing, but except for DVD Video, which I let ImgBurn choose the best settings for, I use UDF 2.6 for all data jobs. As for CRC, I think that only occurs when there's an error. Cyclic Redundancy Check.

why has program stopped burning coppied DVD
dbminter replied to spruce2028's topic in ImgBurn Support
Aye, 'tis not there, Cap'n. -
Well, without getting too technical, you're mostly right. Because of the various factors of file systems and how files are stored, you won't get exactly 25 GB of files on a disc. However, the difference between what you'll get and what is available is under 25 but above 24, by only a fraction of a difference. Anyway, the practical answer is yes. In Build mode, you will be told at the bottom of the window how much space you've used and is left for adding more files.

On multiple layer video images, i believe the layer break is set so that no file spans across different layers per the standard. Correct me if I'm wrong. But what about with data images that aren't video? If you have a file that is too large to fit on the first layer, will part of it be on the first layer and part on the second layer? Or will the file be written only to the 2nd layer where there's full space for it?

Then, here's my apology to Asus. I'm sorry for the wrong accusation. -
Power Calibration Error with Verbatim BD Discs

I've got several BD-RE's, nearly full, sitting around I can use to Read in. I'll try that. Actually, found an M-Disc BD-R more handy to read in. I 18:35:43 Operation Started! I 18:35:43 Source Device: [0:0:0] ASUS BW-12D1S-U E401 (D:) (USB) I 18:35:43 Source Media Type: BD-R (Disc ID: MILLEN-MR1-000) I 18:35:43 Source Media Supported Read Speeds: 12x I 18:35:43 Source Media Sectors: 9,781,600 I 18:35:43 Source Media Size: 20,032,716,800 bytes I 18:35:43 Read Speed (Data/Audio): 56x / 56x I 18:35:44 Read Speed - Effective: 5x - 12x I 18:45:23 Operation Successfully Completed! - Duration: 00:09:34 I 18:45:23 Average Read Rate: 34,082 KiB/s (7.8x) - Maximum Read Rate: 48,089 KiB/s (11.0x) So, that Average Read Rate is more than 25 MB/s? If so, that shows this drive is USB 3.0, doesn't it? If it does, I owe Asus an apology. -

Is the "transfer rate" the same as the Read Rate during a Read of a DVD-R to an image file? I 17:55:43 Average Read Rate: 14,555 KiB/s (10.8x) - Maximum Read Rate: 20,760 KiB/s (15.3x) I can't do the math easily in my head, but does 20,760 KiB/s translate to roughly 20 MB/s? Or 25? If it does and if the transfer rate is the same as the Read Rate, then it says it's USB 3.0, I'm guessing? If the transfer rate is not the same as the Read Rate, how do I determine the transfer rate from such a Read? -

Asus are liars! I put in a USB 3.0 cable on the drive and connected it to a USB 3.0 port. Guess what ImgBurn returns? I 17:17:03 -> Drive 4 - Info: ASUS BW-12D1S-U E401 (D:) (USB 2.0) This drive IS a USB 2.0 drive, despite it being advertised as a USB 3.0! Why else include only a USB 2.0 cable? So, the blue colored port on the Asus drive is a lie. -
If I uncheck Images Still Queued in the Display Warnings under General Page 1, will that stop the prompt to save the queue when ImgBurn is closed and a disc has been read to an image file, but the image file itself hasn't been burned yet? Sometimes, for testing purposes, I read discs to image files in ImgBurn that I have no intention of burning. Just read tests for already burnt discs. When I close ImgBurn, I get a prompt asking me if I want to save the queue. Thanks!

Power Calibration Error with Verbatim BD Discs

Had a chance to test writing an image to a CD-R in the Asus. Destination Media Type: CD-R (Disc ID: 97m24s01f, Taiyo Yuden Co.) It was a small DVD Video job that I don't have time watch right now and it's not very important as it's only a temporary archive of a project I was working on. So, I thought it would be a good test. Image burn and verify successful. CD-R read to an image file by ImgBurn in one of my Pioneer's. Image file mounted to virtual drive successfully. DVD Video processing successful, so it's a pretty good indication it's good for CD-R, especially a good TY media like I used. -
I've never had a problem with burn speeds being an issue. Some people report better results by burning at slower speeds, so you may just need to test what works for you.

Just got the greeting from ImgBurn start up quoting Shut Up-a You Face. It's a not so bad! It's a nice a place! Ah, shut up-a you face! Dr. Demento introduced me to that song.

Had a chance to test a DVD Video Verbatim MCC DataLife Plus DVD-R burned in the Asus with a playback test on the Playstation 3. No playback problems encountered. No skips, pixelation, hisses, or pops. Although the disc wasn't written all the way to the outer edge, so that's something that might need further testing. -
Yeah, about the only conversion you could do to ISO is to, as LUK said, mount the BIN/MDS in a virtual drive application and use ImgBurn to read the virtual drive to ISO format. You can't convert BIN to MP4 because MP4 is a video file format. You could convert the video files/contents in the BIN to MP4 with various applications.

After I posted, I wondered if maybe it was a micro cable. I checked out USB 3.0 cables on Amazon.com to see if they were the same shapes as USB 2.0 cables because of the different sized cables with the WD drives. -

dbminter replied to moldeywaffle's topic in ImgBurn Support
Yes, the socket is blue on the back. So, it may just be the cable, as I postulated earlier. The only other USB 3.0 cables I have to compare it against are my 2 WD USB 3.0 HDD's. They have blue connectors at the end that connect to the PC, but their connectors that connect to the back of the HDD's are different shaped than the USB connection on the back of the Asus. So, I'm guessing WD is using proprietary cables for their drives. Another cheap ass move. If you cable goes out, you have to replace the entire drive just to get a cable. Planned obsolescence in motion. Anyway, I'm going to try replacing the cable and see if Asus did its own cheap ass maneuver. -

Actually, I didn't think about this until now, but it may be this drive IS a USB 3.0 and they just included a USB 2.0 cable to be cheap. So, I'm going to get a USB 3.0 A To B cable and test and see if the drive really is USB 3.0. If not, I can always use an extra USB 3.0 cable lying around. I won't be able to get that cable until Thursday, probably. -

Discovered one down side to this drive. Despite it being advertised as a USB 3.0 drive, it is actually only USB 2.0. I 13:33:44 -> Drive 6 - Info: ASUS BW-12D1S-U E401 (D:) (USB 2.0) The cable included does not have a blue tipped end on it, indicative of USB 3.0. When plugged into a blue ended USB 3.0 port on the front of my PC, ImgBurn returns that it's only USB 2.0. So, this drive is only USB 2.0, despite being advertised as USB 3.0. -
But don't get the Verbatim you find in brick and mortar stores. They will usually be CMC Magnetics, a source of many common causes of errors we see on these forums. You'll need to get the DataLife Plus variety you find at places like Amazon.com in the US.

Had to chance to test RITEK 6x DVD-RW with the Asus. My first failure, but I expected it. I 11:02:36 Erasing Disc...

Every other drive has always written successfully to the media but fails on Verify. This drive wouldn't even complete an Erase on the media. -

Had the chance to perform a write test with Verbatim MKM DataLife Plus DVD+R DL for DVD Video. Burn and Verify completed successfully. For reasons I can't explain easily right here, I won't be able to perform a playback test on this disc right away. I don't know when I'll be able to, but I can perform a read test of the DVD Video contents to see if they process correctly. That's not a sure fire test because there can be playback issues on how the media itself is burned that a PC read test won't catch. But, it's better than nothing. Disc contents read to an image file in ImgBurn successfully. Video contents processed successfully. -

The Asus drive performed the full format of the genuine Verbatim BD-RE DL fine. No write test performed to it, though. -
Power Calibration Error with Verbatim BD Discs
dbminter replied to moldeywaffle's topic in ImgBurn Support
Found two things with the drive, one I don't like and the other is liveable. The first is I had to use the drive in vertical mode because of a priority of desk space. With the drive in that position, you have to carefully position discs in the tray before closing it. Otherwise, the discs will fall out and onto the floor. The second is it doesn't support a particular BD-RE format command, but neither do my Pioneer drives. I forget the command, but it is issued by an ImgBurn BD-RE format. It performs some kind of verification on the disc so it doubles the time necessary for a format command. It can be viewed as either a plus or a minus, depending. So, you will get these in the log on either this Asus or the Pioneer drive: I 15:10:21 Erasing Disc... W 15:10:21 FormatDisc(FT: 0x31, FST: 0x02) Not Supported!
