Interestingly enough, it worked, regardless. I checked the burned result and the previously filtered out files were there. However, it may have been precisely what I needed. I said it was a DVD-ROM installer but it was actually the data portion installed on a DVD Video. While it was an installer and needed those files, the disc was a DVD Video. So, maybe that's why it worked. I already had those Options checked and the files were still being filtered. So, the options I found were what I was looking for. What you suggested wouldn't have helped.

The problem with MKV that is not present in AVI is when you try to edit MKV with AVIDeMux. When MKV's are loaded, it can take up to 20 seconds, each time it's loaded, to process some kind of frame collection, I forget what it's called. I actually use MP4, and, well, I'm man enough to admit it. I made a mistake when I said AVI. I meant to say MP4. As for the layer breaks, I was talking about DVD-5. Yes, even though they're not needed on DVD-5, layer breaks can be present from left over, sloppy authoring.

Don't know if it means your drive isn't working but it probably means there's some kind of firmware conflict between it and those discs you're trying to burn to. Plus, your log said you had a slim model burner. Slim models are notorious for being relatively junk. That's why I use half height models. In an external enclosure because I have no internal half height bays in my PC.

Ah, think I found it. Seems that it's Tools --> Settings --> Build --> Page 2 --> DVD Video --> Uncheck Filter Folder Content. I set it back after testing it out.

I need to disable the Removal of filtered files by ImgBurn. It wants to remove 3 Thumbs.db files from 3 different subdirectories, but the files are required to get the software to work. It's a DVD-ROM software disc and needs those DB files. Otherwise, the software won't even install. Thanks!

One way to remove stray layer breaks, though it doesn't always work, is to use DVDShrink. It can remove most, but not all, layer breaks and you can choose no compression if you want a "1:1." (It's still not entirely one to one because a.) the layer breaks are taken out and b.) there's is some conversion that goes on even if no compression is chosen.) I use Handbrake to convert DVD/BD to containers. It can retain things like subtitles and audio streams, however, it doesn't do it automatically. You have to remember each time to choose to add all subtitle/audio streams. And it's free. Just make sure to use MKV when converting from BD because some subtitles in BD will always be converted into hard, burned in subtitles on AVI because of some kind of stupid limitation in AVI.

35 AV engines flag it which just meant 35 AV engine programmers are lazy. It's not a virus and AV software should not be judging what is a PUP or not all on their arbitrary own. But what you say has some weight. People might panic and not install ImgBurn, particularly if they CAN'T install it if their AV package refuses to allow it through. As I said, fusion.dll is basically there for anything that uses Microsoft .NET framework. To avoid conflicting versions of the DLL, some applications install the version it was compiled with. That's why there are multiple copies of the file. A long time time ago, Visual Basic was a common culprit of this practice. Many times, your base VB DLL was out of date and an application wouldn't run, requiring you to manually replace your copy with the latest version. To avoid repeating such problematic mistakes of the past for the novice user, multiple copies of DLL's get installed in different places now. Or fusion.dll could be a necessary part of the installation process if ImgBurn's installer uses Microsoft .NET Framework. However, I'm more likely to go with the wrapper (Which I will describe below.) theory. That if fusion.dll is being flagged as a PUP, it's based on the wrapper around the ImgBurn installer. Fusion.dll is probably part of the package known as IronS something that replaced OpenCandy. OpenCandy was the wrapper around the software that phoned home and offered users free software as "advertising." That's how ImgBurn remained free software. Then, OpenCandy went out of business and IronS something stepped up in its place.
-
You'd get that behavior regardless of it you were or weren't click happy or the mirror you downloaded it from. Your AV package is flagging fusion.dll as an apparent PUP. There might be a way to exclude that false positive or add the file to a white list, but I don't know how to do that in Kaspersky. At the worst, you can temporarily disable your AV scanner long enough to install the application and then re-enable it, but I can't guarantee Kaspersky won't flag trying to run ImgBurn itself as something that isn't kosher, even though it is.
-
If I may quote The Lawnmower Man: "I AM GOD HERE!" Yes, but I also told you not to get click happy because ImgBurn's installer may offer you other software you won't want to install. That's probably what Fusion.dll does in this case. In the old days, it was OpenCandy, which went out of business. Now, it's something else. It will offer you other software installs because that's how ImgBurn can remain free software. Fusion.dll is actually called by Microsoft's .NET Framework, which powers many applications today. Other mirrors are a bit more insidious about how they might force unwanted programs on you. That's why I suggested Mirror 7. I admit, I failed to mention on the Reflect forums the possibility an AV software package flagging ImgBurn as a "virus" because of PUP's. They're not viruses but because people get click happy and don't read what they're agreeing to, they often times get unwanted programs installed by free software. So, rather than do the work themselves to flag PUP's as PUP's, AV vendors flag them as viruses, even though it's generally the users' fault that they got something they didn't want.
-
Hey, good to see you from the Reflect forums! I'll tell you why it probably happened. PUP's. Potentially Unwanted Programs. While I never had a Kasperksy product (ZoneAlarm Free Firewall's free AV version) quarantine ImgBurn's installer in the past, many AV software do. Because their programmer are lazy. PUP's are NOT viruses, but are treated as such because it's easier on them.
-
On your first point, basically, from what I've seen, the seamless option is only needed if you don't want a pause in the audio and video playback at the layer break. Depending on where the layer break is, it may not be noticeable. The original manufacturers usually try to place the layer break at some point where it won't be as noticeable. However, it generally is quite noticeable and annoying.

The one disc that did work: was it Verbatim, too? Same Disc ID or was it another manufacturer? From the same stack of Verbatims where you got 2 failures?
-
Another possible source of conflict is a, well, conflict between the drive's firmware and the MKM-003-000 discs. The only solution there would be to try and see if a firmware update is available and see if that fixes it or replace your burner with another make and model. If the drive does need replacing, that covers both bases.
-
Sort of. There was a piece of free CUE editing software I tried, I forget what it was called. However, the results were 50/50. Sometimes the CUE file would write and sometimes ImgBurn refused to load it for some error.

TSSTcorp CDDVD SH-S202J SB03 won't read disc
dbminter replied to dr_ml422's topic in ImgBurn Support
Burned 2 of these new TY discs and they seem to be fine. I burned 1 disc with about half of its capacity and another nearly full. Both played their contents completely fine in my PS3. No skipping in the playback like the Verbatim DataLife MCC DVD-R do when burned in my WH16NS60 and played back on my PS3. So, even though these discs are cheaper than the MCC DVD-R, they do appear to still be quality Taiyo Yuden media. -
Yes, MCC is Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation, the good stuff from Verbatim. So, I'd fall back on my previous reply that you got a bad batch out of the factory. While I've never left recordable media just sitting around unused for a length of time, I don't think they go bad with time. Except the normal time it would take for the dye to decay just from entropy. And that's at least 20 years because I've got DVD-R from 2002 that are still playable.

TSSTcorp CDDVD SH-S202J SB03 won't read disc

So, is Maxell deliberately trying to swindle people by promising something on the label DVD+RW can't deliver? -
OIC, these are errors that occur when you try to run/boot the Linux disc. Not errors returned by ImgBurn when writing/burning ISO's. Unfortunately, creating a bootable disc from files is not an exact science. In fact, I never got it to work ever before. And you're using Linux. I know there's a How To in that section on creating a Windows bootable disc. But, as far as Linux goes, I've never used it, so I can't say anything about its boot discs. Those kinds of error messages do sound like, though, things that would be generated by an incorrectly made boot disc. Question: do you just want to make a copy of an existing Linux disc? Or are you making your own from various files you have lying around? If you have an existing disc, don't bother using Build mode. Use Read mode to create an ISO of the existing Linux disc and then Write that ISO to a new disc.
-
Wait, what are you doing? It sounds like you're trying to create or burn an ISO but you say it happens during the install phase. So, that would be before you even could create an ISO or burn it because you're trying to install ImgBurn. Have you been able to actually install the ImgBurn software and get this error message trying to install the software? Or have you been able to install the ImgBurn software and this error message occurs when you try to create an ISO? Or trying to burn it?
-
They can go bad over time, but Verbatim generally doesn't. It would be more likely they were bad to begin with when they were bought. And, are they "true" Verbatim or CMC Verbatim? If they're Life Series and not DataLife Plus Series, they're the CMC junk.
-
Not a typewriter? Never seen an error message like cannot find live image. Can you provide screenshots of what you're seeing? Or a log of a failed burn, if there are any errors generated in it?

TSSTcorp CDDVD SH-S202J SB03 won't read disc
dbminter replied to dr_ml422's topic in ImgBurn Support
Wow! 16x DVD+RW! At least according to Maxell's own label. https://www.officedepot.com/a/products/274784/Maxell-DVDRW-Rewritable-Media-Spindle-47GB120/ Hover around the posted image and check out the label. Maxell says you can get up to 16x on their DVD+RW! That's amazing! And impossible as far as I know, since 8x was the last known highest speed achieved by DVD+RW that I'm aware of. -

PIOData doesn't make BD burners that I could find on their website. For me, BD is a must. The last projections I saw from VSO was the 64 bit version was coming out around May. I guess they got delayed. Those TY's I ordered to try out should arrive tomorrow. I'll see if they're actually worth anything. -
Confusion over "The drive only supports writing these discs at:"
dbminter replied to Kilo's topic in ImgBurn Support
Actually, now that I know you don't have an actual physical game disc, Alcohol 120% wouldn't have worked anyway. I wasn't aware you had only a downloaded image. I thought ImgBurn read the disc wrong for whatever reason and corrected the image on the fly. That's probably why ImgBurn had to correct the image on the fly while burning it. The image itself is faulty. If you still have that failed CD-R from the first post you made, just try playing it in your machine. It may still work, and what have you got to lose at this point? -
Confusion over "The drive only supports writing these discs at:"
dbminter replied to Kilo's topic in ImgBurn Support
Alcohol shouldn't have said it can't verify discs with audio tracks. Are you sure you specified a Game Disc to read in? It's been a long time since I last used the software, but it used to have various default types of discs you could select before reading them in. I still have my PS1 Namco Museum Collection Volume 2 North American disc. I made a copy without problem. However, I probably didn't use ImgBurn to do it. That was 15 years ago, so I probably used something else like Roxio. Or maybe even Alcohol. I wouldn't necessarily trust the image you downloaded is good. And who knows what this "workaround script" does and what it does to images? I'm afraid I can't help you anymore beyond this. Sorry.
