I get info in the panes but no MID. It's not a blank. It's an already recorded writable DVD. What's weird is this on all 3 discs of American Dad! Volume 9. However, Volume 10 of American Dad! returns MID's. I checked the bottom of the Volume 9 discs and they are recordable discs. So, Amazon.com is correct when they list it is manufactured on demand. The Volume 10 discs are DVD+R DL's I'm guessing since the MID is MKM indicative of the kind I use.

I received a made on demand recordable dual layer DVD from Amazon.com. I don't know if it's a DVD+R DL or DVD-R DL. I just know it's 2 layers and that it's a recordable disc. It's Type has been set to DVD-ROM so there is no MID field being displayed by ImgBurn. Is there a way to get the DID for this media from ImgBurn? I want to know if they've used a cheap ass dual layer DVD disc to make this DVD. Thanks!

CMC is Taiwanese with factories in Taiwan, China, and Hong Kong.

Believe me, I know the evils of CMC. Before I learned of CMC, I wasted about $1,000 in more copies of CMC media and new DVD recorders. I had been using Optodisc DVD-R, which used to be a good brand. Then, they started crapping out, not finishing burns, not finishing Verifies, etc. Then, I randomly came across a post somewhere else about CMC and decided to see if these Optodiscs were now CMC's. That they had changed manufacturers. Sure enough, these failing discs were CMC's. Ever since then, I've ragged on CMC because they are the scum of the Earth when it comes to optical media.

I received a single item, sealed in plastic Maxell BD-RE in a slim case. It came pre-formatted! It's the first rewritable optical disc I can think of I ever received that came pre-formatted. In the old days, they used to, eventually, ship floppy disks pre-formatted. But, never any optical discs. No CD-RW, DVD-RW, DVD+RW, BD-RE or BD-RE DL. It's always been somewhat of a pain. They have to be formatted in order to use. They eventually started shipping floppy disks pre-formatted so why not optical discs? I can remember back in 1991 when boxes of floppy disks had to be formatted. I'd use multiple PC's in high school after class to format all 10 disks in the box at the same time. This BD-RE was still sealed. It hadn't been opened, formatted, and resealed. It still had its holder glued to it to put on a peg in a store so it seems unlikely that this disc was removed from its packaging, formatted, and resealed, so it came from the factory pre-formatted. Points to Maxell. They not only pre-formatted the disc but it wasn't typical CMC junk like from Verbatim and TDK. It was MEI, which is Panasonic. Panasonic might have made some lousy DVD burners but they generally made good quality DVD-R. I've got DVD-R from Panasonic that were written in 2002 that are still readable today. So, I have high hopes that this Panasonic MEI BD-RE will be of good quality, too.

Yeah, I am running Windows 8. The odd thing is I don't think I ever noticed there were 2 paging files before since I got this new machine in August.

I checked my root directory and discovered a swapfile.sys. However, I already had a pagefile.sys, which is Windows swap file. So, why do I suddenly have something called swapfile.sys which was the old name for pagefile.sys in older Windows versions?

Oh, I didn't think about Test Mode. I was thinking when he said test he meant an actual burn to media test, an actual Write. Did you check the Test Mode box or did you actually burn the media?

I thought Playstation games had multiple sessions on them and could not be read by ImgBurn. But, what do I know? Anyway, I've always come across getting stuck at analyzing tracks is something that happens when audio tracks are read from CD's. Unfortunately, I've never come across any fix. It just happens randomly on certain discs on certain drives. All I can recommend is you try reading in another drive if you have one and haven't tried that yet.

You never know how a laser will behave after it's been used a lot. Since it has to do multiple different tasks, just because one works doesn't mean one won't and vice versa. My first LG Blu-Ray drive still read and wrote Blu-Rays, CD's, and DVD-R, but stopped writing DVD+R DL after a year. Depends on how long you've been burning CD's/how many CD's you've burned. The successful test you had may have been a fluke. Give the drive a cleaning and try a different spindle of MCC Verbatim discs like LUK said. Beyond that, I'd say it's the drive having given up the ghost. LUK might be able to offer some more advice, but I'm pretty much tapped out now.

So, you're saying the drive is 5 years old? If so, it's probably died. Depends on how much it's been used in 5 years. If it's as old as the laptop itself. I don't think I've ever had a full size optical drive that lasted 2 years. My Pioneer is a year and a half old and I expect it to die at any time now. Although I've never had a Pioneer before so I can't say. My last LG developed problems after a year. I'd say it's most likely not the case that the Verbatim discs went bad as you also got the same error on a CMC disc. So, it doesn't appear to be the media itself as you seem to get the error regardless of the type of DVD-R manufacturer you use. But, you're saying you ran a test run before these logs you posted? And it worked then?

How long have you had this drive? Optiarc hasn't made drives for years, so it may your drive has just finally given up the ghost. Had you ever successfully burned discs in this drive before and now it's stopped working? It's not cheap media causing it because your first disc was an MCC disc ID. CMC not working can't be the cause because MCC doesn't either. Have you tried writing this image to a rewritable disc? Check to see if that works as what usually happens when a drive dies is that write once media won't work but rewritable still will or vice versa. Although it can happen where both types won't work. Plus, this can also test the image. I noticed you used the same image for each test. Maybe the image is at fault? Try imaging another disc and see if you get the same error.

I checked BIOS. My SATA Mode enabled is AHCI. There's a RAID option available, but I don't think I should set that. I don't have a RAID set up and I can't see that changing that setting would fix my problem. It just randomly showed up after reading CD's were working fine before at least March 31st.

About changing the SATA controller mode. Is that a setting changed in BIOS?

Actually, never mind. According this: http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-to-Find-Out-if-Your-Sandy-Bridge-Motherboard-Is-Affected-by-Intel-s-SATA-Bug-182252.shtml I'm not affected. My REV_ string is not 04 based but 05 based. Plus, this issue seems to date back to 2011. My PC was bought last year and was probably made in 2014, too.

Tell me more about this update. Where can I get it? I can try it and see if it installs on mine and then that might tell me if I need it. The only thing I've been able to isolate is that it occurs on reading the outer edge of an audio CD. The skips, pops, hisses, errors, etc. always occur within the last 3 tracks, more often than not at the end of the last track. Since CD audio data is stored Track 1 at the inner edge, the issue is reading data from the outer edge. It's on SATA and USB drives as the source for reading CD's. The errors are present in the image files themselves so it's happening at either a read level from the CD's or a write level to the image file. Most likely a read issue. It doesn't seem to occur when reading the last tracks to MP3. It happens when writing image files to either a USB or SATA HDD. And the weird thing is the issue is random. I'll read the same disc multiple times and the errors are in different tracks or different parts of a track.

Even my patience had its limits. After the last post on March 31st got a reply asking the same questions again, I unsubscribed from this thread. I just came by to see how big it had gotten since then. Looks like gamemaniaco got banned since then, so it didn't get as big as I expected.

If the ISO says it's a Blu-Ray, it's a Blu-Ray. What's the ISO file size? Anything over a little over 8 GB will be a Blu-Ray. So, if it's definitely 9 GB or larger, it's a Blu-Ray. Plus, how do you know it's saving them as Blu-Rays? Have you tried opening the ISO/mounting it to see what the contents are? If there is a VIDEO_TS it's a DVD. If it's something else, I forget what the folder name is for Blu-Ray, then it's a Blu-Ray.

You're using bad discs because of the Disc ID field in the image you posted. It says CMC MAG. CMC MAG is CMC Magnetics, the worst optical disc manufacturer out there. Just because Philips put their name on it doesn't mean they made it. They farmed it out to CMC like Memorex and Verbatim do. Anything you buy in a brick and mortar store will be CMC. You will have to get media online and even then you'll need to read the reviews and see what they list as the DID/MID/Disc ID/Manufacturer ID. You'll want Verbatim but only DataLife Plus NOT Life series or you'll want Taiyo Yuden DVD-R. Verbatim does farm out to CMC but they also farm out to Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation, one of the best optical media manufacturers out there. Most of the errors people report here are caused by cheap media, CMC being the primary culprit. With CMC, you're lucky if they start burning. If they do start, you're lucky if they finish. If they do finish, you're lucky if they finish Verify. And if they finish Verify, you're lucky if your DVD player will actually play them. Philips is known to vomit CMC DVD-R's. I've experienced it personally. I found 2 of them for a dollar at Dollar Tree. I knew they were CMC's at that price but I was curious and it would only cost me a buck to see. Sure enough, as I knew, they were CMC's. So, they were immediately shredded.

Maybe the Size On Disk value is too large? For some weird reason, there are 2 different sizes returned by Windows Explorer. Size On Disk is something that I think only shows up on Properties. You might want to check the Properties of the movie file, if it's a movie file, or of the folder it's in in if it's a movie disc. Therefore, Windows Explorer might not be returning the actual size. And let's not get started on the size GB, GiB, MB, MiB, KB, KiB versus Bytes conflicting values of units of measurement.

Apparently, ALT+3 doesn't work with .WAV. Some fool entered the wrong data on whatever Windows Media Player uses and now most of the tracks have the wrong information. I can change the file names, but it doesn't change the internal information that pops up in WinAmp when I play these lossless WAV files. EDIT: Discovered Shift+E. EDIT: Shift+E doesn't work! It changes the data field but does not actually update the file. The changes disappear upon exit.

I'd say this is most likely your problem: I 16:49:06 Destination Media Type: BD-R (Disc ID: CMCMAG-BA3-000) CMCMAG means CMC Magnetics made that BD-R. CMC Magnetics is the worst optical disc manufacturer out there. Most of the problems people report are because of cheap media. CMC Mag also makes the BD-RE's of Verbatim, which is unfortunate as 1.) Verbatim used to make their own good quality BD-RE and 2.) Verbatim makes its own good quality BD-R. Unfortunately, if you bought these discs in a brick and mortar store, you're mostly only going to find CMC Magnetics junk. Your best bet for quality discs is to order them online. I can only speak of my experiences in the United States, but I get my Verbatim BD-R's from Amazon.com. Although, I have seen the same good quality BD-R's in Best Buy (Not any more.) and at Office Depot. Taiyo Yuden also makes BD-R. I've not tested them yet but TY makes some of the best DVD and CD recordable discs out there. So, one might have a high expectation that their BD-R would be of good quality, too. I've not bought any to test yet, so I can't tell you. I plan on doing it someday, though. Also, are those BD-R labeled Low To High/LTH? Some older drives have problems with LTH media. You're better off with High To Low/HTL. They have higher compatibility with burners and stand alone players and they last longer. LTH uses recordable dyes like CD and DVD recordable media. They're organic and don't last as long. HTL uses inorganic, metal based layers that are fused together when burned.

They claim that large files should not be written to or deleted from an SSD. If that's the case, what about the swap file? It's very large and is defaulted to be created when Windows is initially set up. What about the hiberfil.sys file? It's exactly the same of the maximum amount of system RAM. Most PC's ship with 6 GB or 8 GB, for 64 bit PC's, as standard. So, that means Hibernate would write 6/8 GB to an SSD. And on to ImgBurn itself. A Read or Build job can be beyond 25 GB if we're talking about a double layer BD job. If your PC only has an SSD drive, you have relatively little choice with ImgBurn but to use the SSD. You could plug in a USB HDD with actual spinning platters but the USB bridge would be limited to 2.0 speed or 3.0 speed at the max. Well, 3.1 speed coming up soon.

I've discovered a nifty trick that has fixed every one of my Windows Update updates that fail to install. So, I'm passing it along in case anyone else wants to try it if their Windows Update updates fail. First, open an elevated administrator Command Prompt. Google how to do this for instructions specific to your version of Windows. In the Command Prompt, run sfc /scannow Let the command run, which will take some time. The command will most likely return the following message after it finished: "Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them. Details are included in the CBS.Log windir\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. For example C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. Note that logging is currently not supported in offline servicing scenarios." Ignore these errors as you most likely can't fix them because they aren't really errors. Try downloading the Windows Update update(s) that failed again. Most likely, they will complete successfully now. I've had 3 or 4 Windows Updates that failed to install before I ran SFC and tried again. All of them ran successfully after running the System File Checker command. Just had Windows Update fail on yesterday's released update of KB3046002 with error message 80070003. In the past, I've had a Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool update that failed to install. Windows Update entered an endless loop that always repeated itself on restart of Windows. Windows would never start because of this loop. Running SFC before installing that update fixed it, too. I had at least one other problem, on KB2976536. SFC fixed that, too.

I'll keep it in mind but I managed to make due with iTunes. I just restored an image taken before installing iTunes and tried it again. This time, it ripped multiple MP3's by combining source tracks. I've no idea why it messed up before. And, of course, I plan on restoring this image again after I'm done with iTunes!
