Read speeds are set by the firmware of a drive and the read rate descriptor on the media. You may have a conflict between these two. The only fix is to update the firmware or use different discs. Try seeing if there's a firmware update for your drive. In Write mode, right click on the Destination drive letter line from the drop down list and choose the last option, Check for firmware update. Otherwise, you may want to try different discs. And, honestly, you should be using different discs besides CMC's. CMC media is the bottom of the barrel worst media out there. Try Verbatim DataLife Plus (NOT Life Series.) you can only find online. I can't guarantee you'll resolve your very slow Verify rate, but your discs will generally last much longer.

As far as I know, no Blu-Ray player will play AVI files the moment you insert the disc. You have to choose them from a manually selected menu interface IF your Blu-Ray player even supports playing AVI files natively. If you want an autostarting disc, you'll have to convert AVI to BDMV folder format. ConvertXToHD is the only software I can think of that might do that, but it's not free. And I don't know of any free alternatives. ImgBurn just writes/burns what you feed it. It does no conversion. However, with a BDMV folder, you can create an ISO with ImgBurn and burn it to BD that will autostart on a Blu-Ray player.

What you can research is to see if Encore has an option where it creates BDMV folder and files to a folder on your HDD. Then, you can use ImgBurn's Build Mode to add the BDMV folder, CERTIFICATE folder, if it exists, and any other files BD needs. You can even add the MT2 file to the ISO if you want a backup of the source file on the disc. It's what I do with DVD's I create with ConvertXToDVD. I add the source file to the VIDEO_TS folder in the ISO to burn to DVD.

What it sounds like was happening was Premiere Pro was making ISO's but did more than just make an ISO. It created BDMV folders first and then put them into a video compliant ISO. If the M2T file was just placed on the disc, there's no way I can think of it should automatically play when inserted into a player. You'd have to manually select it from your BD player's interface. Premiere is probably making BDMV compliant folders which can automatically play upon insertion of a disc. You could insert one of these BD discs that does play automatically in a PC drive and check the root directory contents in Windows/File Explorer. There would probably be a BDMV folder. The M2T file might also be included in the root directory, but that's probably not what is automatically playing.

Depends. If your BD player supports playing container files from a BD disc, then it will work. If it doesn't, then the file needs to converted to VIDEO_TS/BDMV folder. This BD you're making an ISO of. Is it a DVD Video or a BD Video disc? Meaning, did you make a DVD or a Blu-Ray and it was a movie? Or did you just copy the container file to disc? Or are you saying you put in a DVD/BD that had a VIDEO_TS/BDMV folder on it, you read the disc to ISO, burned the ISO, and the same contents are not on the disc you just burned?

You sure your web browsers are removing it and not some third AV software you have installed? It's most likely some third party AV flagging OpenCandy, a Potentially Unwanted Program, a PUP, as a virus. They're not viruses. AV companies simply are too lazy to differentiate and label everything as a virus.

I would always try Mirror 7 first over the others. The other mirrors are outside of ImgBurn's control and who knows what wrappers they've added around the installer to insert their own bloatware. Or even malware.

Hm, I've got a mystery package on the way. I don't know who sent it, but the only guess I have is that it's LG sending me my replacement WH16NS60 for my replacement NS60. They were kind enough to notify UPS to send me an e-mail saying they had picked up the package and its estimated delivery date. It originated from Round Rock, Texas. I checked the return shipping label LG sent before and it was addressed to Round Rock, Texas, which makes me more certain it's my LG replacement drive.

Well, the maximum number of FOLDERS allowed on ISO9660 is 65,535. I realize that doesn't help much.

Then, you'll want to do what I do. I use the NS60 but in an external USB 3.0 enclosure. Most USB drives are slim line models, which are junk. So, I get full height drives and put them in an enclosure. As far as I know there are only 2 USB 3.0 enclosures to choose from: VanTech's and Other World Computing. Both have their issues, but I choose VanTech's. Just be sure you thoroughly test it. The drawback to the VanTech is it is Chinese made so you can get junk. My first one was, but my second one I'm still using.

Well, good luck finding anything that burns HD DVD discs anymore. They don't make that format anymore. As for your other options, unfortunately, there's no magic bullet that works best for them all. Since you asked for a BD drive, I can recommend the one I use for all my purposes, except DVD-R and DVD+R which don't like Verbatim DataLife Plus media anymore. I use the LG WH16NS60. Also as for your other options, there's really little difference between drives in how they handle them. It boils down to the firmware in the drive and the media you use to burn it in.

Most likely, it's the bootimage settings in the bootable settings in the ImgBurn job that will be problematic. I've never really fully gotten those to work in the past.

Try this. Not all of that will apply to your situation, but the specifics on bootable discs might help. You'll want to extract the bootimage from the floppy drive, if allowed. I've never done it and, honestly, have had very little luck creating bootable discs from other media. If you have a capable drive and can get some media, get some rewritable DVD discs. That way, you won't be wasting media on something you haven't successfully accomplished yet.

Just because you don't get a coaster doesn't mean they're good. I tried 3 Ritek DVD+R DL that were sold by Office Depot years ago. They all burned and Verified fine, but, a year later, 2 of them were unreadable!

I've never used anything but Verbatim when it comes to BD-R. The 135 minutes (I've never seen that advertised with BD-R before.) is probably for video recorders that use BD-R. For instance, DVD-R was advertised as 120 minutes because on "standard" compression, DVD video recorders could put 120 minutes maximum on them. (Although you could get as little as 60 with the least compression, and options for 4 and 6 hours.)

I use BD-R exclusively for all backups. Even if the back will fit on something smaller. They write faster and will last longer since, if you're using HTL, they're burned metal oxide and not organic dyes. In fact, I only use CD-R, DVD-+R, and DVD+R DL for those media that require it for a player to play, like audio CD's and DVD movies.

Try this for what I was trying to display: Technically, these may be purple and blue instead of white. I was going by the white text, but maybe there's a type of packaging that uses more white?

Both links work for me, although the first link links to all kinds of Verbatim product. My link, though, if you look at the packaging, saying Life Series on it and it's purple and white. Could the Life Series no longer be CMC crap but have switched over to the good stuff?

Oops, dummy me! I had the return shipping label the ENTIRE time! I received a 2nd similar e-mail from LG just now that APPEARED as if it didn't have an attachment. However, it did, but I had to click a Save button in my e-mail client to save the attachment to HD. I'd never had to do that before. In the past, all attachments were automatically saved to HD. However, I have recently updated Thunderbird, which may have changed this behavior. So, I checked my old e-mail from LG that looked the same and it did have the attachment as a Save item. Anyway, bottom line is I have the shipping label now and LG had always had sent it to me.

Hm, LG is dragging their heels on giving me a return shipping address for this WH16NS60. I gave them four days with no results so I wrote them back on Saturday. They wrote me back on Monday saying they were still checking on it and would give me a return address label in 2 days. That's what they said last time! I think they just don't want to replace my drive since they've already done it before. The purple and white series? This stuff? https://www.google.com/shopping/product/5581521769898238265?lsf=seller:7933,store:205669509070121660,s:h&prds=oid:14434230960636437966&q=verbatim+dvd%2Br&hl=en&ei=H2swXu-QGJKQtAaDiJCQCQ&lsft=cm_mmc:PLA-_-Google-LIA-_-1596097357-_-917110-VQ6-303406857583-VQ16-c-VQ17-pla-VQ18-local-VQ20-329468945902-VQ21-605&lsft=gclid:CjwKCAiA1L_xBRA2EiwAgcLKAy0Ql6TlwTX_JixrtSrT4RiwSSF8w0qXjQJ5-SxGg8Z88cAAUuu1ZRoCbYYQAvD_BwE,gclsrc:aw.ds If so, that's the Life Series you find in Office Depot stores, which is the CMC junk.

If you're going by the label info Windows returns, be aware Windows does not return the full label contents. For some stupid reason, Windows is capped at a certain number of letters it displays. To get the full label, you can go into Read mode in ImgBurn with the disc inserted into a disc drive.

I do worry slightly about the quality of these TYG03 DVD-R. Amazon is charging $15 for 50 of them. That kind of price is generally reserved for cheap CMC crap.

I'm beginning to think the problem is not with my WH16NS60 but CMC changing the production run for Verbatim DataLife Plus. I've been using the old NS60 and every alternate disc in this cake stack of DVD-R fails! I found some 16x TYG03 JVC DVD-R that were made by Taiyo Yuden on Amazon.com. I think I'll try switching to those and see if I get better results. I think CMC just can't be trusted, even with DataLife Plus media anymore.

What do you mean by an NTFS drive? A DVD drive is file system independent.

Got my check from Pioneer today!
