I tried a piece of freeware software that lets you edit CUE files; I forget what it was called. However, it failed to do the trick. So, I don't know if it really is possible to edit existing CUE files or not.

My guess is if G: is a Google Drive of some kind, a network hiccup might have prevented reading the file contents properly. Thus a premature EOF was reached, which was unexpected versus the file size the ImgBurn job was expecting and reported by the software. I'm not familiar with Google Drives, but I'm guessing they're some kind of network/online/cloud source. I would try copying the contents from the Google Drive to some temporary non network location, adding those files instead of the Google Drive source, and see if that helps. However, this may not be practical, depending on the size of the source you're attempting to read from the Google Drive.

I can tell you from personal buying experience those discs you linked are not CMC but MCC. I don't use them anymore because, as I said, CMC/Verbatim changed the manufacturing process for those discs so they no longer work with LG's WH16NS60 BD burner. But, for a brief period, they worked just fine for me. Basically, I'm pretty much the only person who puts the DID in reviews on Amazon.com. The manufacturer will never tell you they're CMC's on the product description page because then people wouldn't buy them knowing they are what they are: junk. CMC makes its money by selling to the unwitting. They can get 1 sale from a person, at least, before they wise up and avoid the CMC trash.

I would make sure those DataLife Plus are still not CMC. Depending on where you live in the world, DataLife/DataLife Plus may not necessarily be the good stuff. For instance, in some parts of the world, DataLife is CMC! Insert one of these discs into a burner, open ImgBurn, go into Write mode, and look in the right hand panel of information for Manufacturer/Disc ID and see what it says. Particularly make sure it doesn't say CMC anywhere in it. But, you'll also want to watch out for things like RITEK, which can be iffy media, too. Ideally, it will say MCC, but, be aware with some LG burners, CMC, which unfortunately owns Verbatim now , changed the manufacturing process for MCC media so they no longer work with certain LG models.

If these single layers that are failing are also Verbatim that were bought in a brick and mortar store, they probably are CMC, too. Check the log of one of these failed single layer burns and look for a line that says Destination Media Type or Disc ID in it. If there's some kind of string that says CMC (Not MCC, which is quality Verbatim single layer DVD.) they're probably the Life Series from a brick and mortar store and are the junk I mentioned. The nature of CMC is sometimes you get discs that work and sometimes you don't. Even within the same stack of discs, you can get some that complete burn and then get some that don't. The problem with CMC is even if they complete burn, they can still be complete junk. I had some CMC DVD+R once that completed burns, but my DVD player didn't recognize there was anything on them to play. Plus, with CMC junk, they won't last as long before they die as the good quality Verbatim or Taiyo Yuden discs. So, in the long run, you're better off switching to the quality stuff over CMC across the board.

Just as I thought. Check out this part of the log: I 04:05:03 Destination Media Type: DVD+R DL (Disc ID: CMC MAG-D03-64) You're using the junk Verbatim discs. CMC makes the worst media out there. If you bought these Verbatim in a brick and mortar store, you got the junk discs. You want the DataLife Plus (NOT the Life Series from stores.) or AZO labeled discs you only find in online stores like Amazon.com. This also explains why you got a failure on 2 different PC's. As you said, you ruled out the hardware, but you never thought the discs themselves might be the problem. CMC causes over half the problems we see on this board. The problems generally tend to disappear when people move away from the junk CMC media.

I believe it existed before 1996. I seem to recall having heard it years ago, but more years than 24. I think it's a pre-existing piece of music that probably no one really knows the origin of.

It may not have been a blank DVD you tried writing to, particularly when you said you inserted a different disc and it worked fine. There would have been an identifying message at the bottom of the main ImgBurn window saying something like "Cannot write inserted media. Not a blank disc."

Ritek can be iffy media. I've found in the United States, Ritek is a good 2nd tier quality manufacturer. In other parts of the world, though, people have round Ritek to be very problematic media. I still use Ritek media for my 8x DVD+RW needs. Ritek is the only one who still makes them. They're made for Imation, the only seller out there. Ritek stopped distributing their own 8x DVD+RW discs themselves years ago.

CMC, which now owns Verbatim, appears to have changed the manufacturing processes of its Verbatim DVD-R and DVD+R to the point I no longer use them. The most recent batches of both types of discs were producing constant failures, and those that did succeed didn't play back properly. So, I had to switch to Taiyo Yuden DVD-R. TY's are still made. Even though CMC bought TY, they are also under a brand called CMC Pro. Despite CMC's involvement, the DID is still TY, so they still appear to be quality discs.

The problem is I don't know what a Karaoke BIN or CDG file is. If you're just trying to create a standard Audio CD disc, then ImgBurn can make those with MP3 files. But, if a Karaoke disc has like video associated with where you can sing along, then, I don't think ImgBurn can create one of those natively.

USB 3.0 is also cosmetically identified as USB 2.0 in the current version. These will be fixed in the next version. And, of course, we're not saying when that will be.

I've heard of MediaRange, but I have no direct experience with them. However, given that, I would have to doubt their efficacy. Now, according to this post here from the ImgBurn forums: MediaRange BD-R DL have the same DID, VERBAT-IMf-000, as the ones I use. However, they had problems with them, so who knows? Could just be down to the burner they use not liking them. Which could mean your burner doesn't like them either. However, most burners don't like BD DL media, anyway, failing at the layer break, which was probably where that other poster had failures. So, since they use the same DID as the good BD-R SL I use from Verbatim, I'd give them a shot, at least. In the US, Amazon.com is generally really good at refunding on discs you can't use. Even if you've burned some because, how can you know you can't use them unless you try burning some, right?

Unfortunately, it varies from country to country what you'll get in the same package. For instance, yours says DataLife on it. DataLife Plus is the high quality CD and DVD media Verbatim puts out in the US. But, apparently in Europe, DataLife BD-R means the CMC junk. Well, people's general stinginess made CMC what it is today. People want a cheap product and the cheap always comes out expensive. And the sad fact of the matter is the higher quality manufacturers, Verbatim and Taiyo Yuden, sold themselves to CMC! To be honest, ever since CMC bought up Verbatim and Taiyo Yuden, I'm surprised they haven't just slapped their good names on their products. But, for the time being, Verbatim, when it doesn't farm out to CMC, and Taiyo Yuden are still allowed to produce a quality product under CMC. I see a time in the future, though, when it will all just be cheap CMC junk.

Depends on what you mean by a "karaoke bin file." Do you mean can it make a BIN file from an existing karaoke CD or DVD? If it's a CD, ImgBurn can make a BIN file from an existing CD. If it's a DVD file, then it will most likely create an ISO as opposed to a BIN file. If you're asking can ImgBurn create a karaoke CD, if it's an Audio CD format, ImgBurn can write an Audio CD file from existing containers, but it cannot create a BIN file from them. If a karaoke CD is not a standard Audio CD file format, then, no ImgBurn cannot create a karaoke CD.

What country do you live in? I've never seen that label on the right before. However, the picture of the disc on the left looks pretty much like what I get. But, what I get is not CMC. If you can get from Amazon.com, here's what I get: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GSQ4DBM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 There's no way to tell who actually made your discs until you open the package, put a disc in a burner, and check its DID in ImgBurn. The package gives absolutely no useful information about the actual manufacturer of discs. At least you got discs that complete burns. Lowering the maximum write rate can increase the likelihood of a successful burn. Personally, even if CMC's complete burns, I don't trust them. So, I wouldn't rely on them. I had some CMC DVD+R's one time that completed burns, but the DVD player did not recognize anything to play from them when put into the player.

A few things stand out from the log: 1.) you say the BD burner is a ODPS1203-SU3 but according to this line from the log: I 00:38:39 -> Drive 1 - Info: TSSTcorp BDDVDW SN-506BB JF01 (E:) (USB 2.0) your drive is a TSST Corporation SN-506BB. 2.) here is your most likely culprit: I 00:39:38 Destination Media Type: BD-R (Disc ID: CMCMAG-BA5-000) Verbatim didn't actually make those discs. CMC Magnetics, which now owns Verbatim, made them. However, CMC makes the worst junk out there. Verbatim makes some of the best BD-R out there if you can get the discs they actually made. However, Verbatim also farms out to CMC for some of their cheaper discs. 3.) according to the log, your BD burner is connected by USB 2.0. However, the last version of ImgBurn that was released does not differentiate between USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 connections. (The latest beta version does.) So, you may want to make sure you're actually on a USB 3 port because USB 2.x is too slow for BD communications. You could try checking for a firmware update for your drive to see if an updated firmware has better compatibility with CMC media. In Write mode, right click on the burner's drive letter and choose the last menu option in the context menu to check for firmware updates. Most likely, this won't help as CMC is just pure junk, but you never know. You should really see if you can get genuine Verbatim BD-R as opposed to the CMC junk. I don't know where you live, but in some countries, the Verbatim BD-R is only available as the CMC junk.

ConvertXToDVD gives you an unlimited, uncrippled 7 day trial, I believe, so you can fully test if it meets your needs or not.

It's like when I first started burning DVD's in 2002. It would take a full hour to burn an entire DVD-R's available space. And, back then, it was fairly common to get to 99% and THEN fail, wasting 60 minutes! The long processing time is another reason I didn't stick with DVD Flick. I use ConvertXToDVD.

It's a DVD Flick problem. It's known to have issues. If some have a correct resolution display and some don't, it's down to how DVD Flick authored the video. ImgBurn has no control over how DVD Video resolution appears on screen.

Yeah, that was it. I was going by fuzzy memory as it's been over 5 years since I last had a LiteOn drive, and that was a BD burner that failed after 3 BD-RE writes. So, I stopped getting LiteOn after that.

Time for my somewhat annual Christmas song quote. I've gone through pretty much everything, so I've had to dip back into oldies. However, this time, I've got the full A Christmas Carol by Tom Lehrer, including the spoken word pieces at the beginning and end. One very familiar type of song is the Christmas carol. Although it is perhaps a bit out of season at this time. However, I'm informed by my "disk jockey" friends - of whom I have none, In order to get a song popular by Christmas time, you have to start plugging it well in advance. So here goes. It has always seemed to me after all. that Christmas, with it's spirit of giving, of us all a wonderful opportunity each year to reflect on what we all most sincerely and deeply believe in. I refer of course, to money. and yet none of the Christmas carols that you hear on the radio or in the street, even attempt to capture the true spirit of Christmas as we celebrate it in the United Staes. That is to say the commercial spirit. so I should like to offer the following Christmas carol for next year, as being perhaps a bit more appropriate. Christmas time is here, by golly, Disapproval would be folly, Deck the halls with hunks of holly, Fill the cup and don't say when. Kill the turkeys, ducks and chickens, Mix the punch, drag out the Dickens, Even though the prospect sickens, Brother, here we go again. On Christmas day you can't get sore, Your fellow man you must adore, There's time to rob him all the more The other three hundred and sixty-four. Relations, sparing no expense'll Send some useless old utensil, Or a matching pen and pencil. "Just the thing I need! How nice!" It doesn't matter how sincere it Is, nor how heartfelt the spirit, Sentiment will not endear it, What's important is the price. Hark the Herald Tribune sings, Advertising wondrous things. God rest ye merry, merchants, May you make the yuletide pay. Angels we have heard on high Tell us to go out and buy! So let the raucous sleigh bells jingle, Hail our dear old friend Kris Kringle, Driving his reindeer across the sky. Don't stand underneath when they fly by. Actually I did rather well myself, this last Christmas. the nicest present I received was a gift certificate "Good at any hospital for a lobotomy". Rather thoughtful.

Now I could have imagined this, but I believe ImgBurn had the ability to store how many of a specific DID were burned by a specific drive. However, it only worked with specific certain models of burners.

I hadn't thought of using anything like YUMI or Rufus to put Acronis rescue media ISO's on flash drive. I no longer use the application, but I have several 10 to 20 year old backup sets still in my possession. Acronis does release latest updated rescue media ISO's on Softexia, but you can't edit those ISO's to inject files into. So, I can't put Acronis backup sets on DVD's with the rescue media ISO. But, I could burn the ISO to flash drive and have that drive's free space. Does YUMI use all available space when writing an ISO to flash drive? The drawback I found to Rufus for burning ISO's to flash drive is if the ISO is 1 GB and the flash drive is 16 GB, the resulting ISO burned to flash drive leaves you with a 1 GB flash drive and 15 GB of unallocated space. I could, I suppose, create a 2nd partition on the flash drive with the remaining 15 GB of space, but I'd prefer a situation like when Macrium Reflect creates Rescue Media on flash drives. As long as Reflect doesn't have to format the flash drive, it will leave all extra space available on the single Rescue Media partition. If it has to format the flash drive, it creates a 1 GB bootable flash drive and the remaining 15 GB is unallocated, requiring creating a 2nd partition on the flash drive. I'd like to avoid having to create a 2nd partition.

Is that what YUMI does? I've seen it many times passing through websites, but never knew what it was for, beyond something to do with flash drives.
