If checked, does Delete Image send the image file to the Recycle Bin or permanently delete it? If the image is split into multiple parts, I'm guessing all parts are deleted? If MDS and DVD files are created along with an image, are they deleted as well? Thanks!

Before you invest in the cost, time, and installation of a new drive, try investing in the DataLifePlus/AZO CD-R's and see if that helps. 1.) it's cheaper and 2.) it's easier. And even if you still have the problem, you will know it's not the cheap CMC media that is doing it. If you still have the problem on the quality discs, you will know it's your drive, your system, or the image you're trying to burn that's the problem. As for the image source you're trying to burn, I'm going to guess you didn't make this image yourself? If so, there's no guarantee the images are even good.

Do as LUK said and post the log of a failed burn. Open Help and choose ImgBurn logs. Open the log file, find a failed burn, and copy and paste that burn's log in its entirety. I still say it's the cheap discs. It's the nature of CMC discs. Something you get burns that complete and sometimes you don't. And even if they do complete, there's no guarantee they won't be unreadable in a year or will play in a particular device you want to try them in. I'd still say if you used DataLifePlus/AZO the problem would go away. CMC failures generally go away when you do. However, if CMC had been working for you before and you're fine still using CMC discs, how old is this drive you've been using? If it's been in use for some time (And even if it hasn't as drives can die within 2 months of use even new.) it may mean the drive needs cleaning or replacing.

Are they also CMC discs?

Here's your probable problem: MID: 97m26s66f (CMC Magnetics Corp.) Manufacturer: CMC Magnetics Corp. You're using the cheap Verbatim Life Series CD-R, probably bought in a brick and mortar store. They're made by CMC Magnetics, the worst manufacturer of optical discs out there. Try using the higher quality Verbatim DataLife Plus/AZO discs which you'll only find in online stores.

I was in the process of replying earlier, but once I saw it was doing the same thing on 2 different drives, I decided not to post. It shouldn't be dependent on if you installed the Windows 10 1903 Refresh or not. And it seems highly unlikely that 2 different drives would die at the same time. You said you used them for 2 years, which is pretty good for an optical drive, but not unheard of for Pioneers. So, maybe they both died simultaneously, but unlikely. So, where does that leave us? The most common denominator is the image file you're trying to burn. Did you create it or did you download it from somewhere? If you didn't create it yourself, the image file may be damaged. Even then, though, that generally doesn't result in write errors. Write errors are the result of either the drive, the disc you're trying to burn to, or a combination of both. However, at this point, I'd try what LUK recommended. Trying these drives in another PC and see if you get the same results. Also, as LUK said, are these 3 discs from the same stack/box? And is this a new box? Or have you successfully used them before?

I've never used that software, but a near 50 GB installer seems like an awful lot. That would be 1 DL BD or multiple DVD-9's. And downloading that much content from an online installer seems like an awful lot, too. Each time you'd want to reinstall the whole thing, you'd have to download 50 GB. Which I can see why someone would want to save the files offline. You may just need to devote a decently large flash drive to storing it. The installation media doesn't need to be bootable, I'd guess. Or use a BD DL.

Saw this one coming from a mile away! Decided to try a Pioneer BDR-211UBK to see if they fixed the 209's problems like how LG fixed the WH16NS40 with the WH16NS60. However, since both the 211 and 209 share the same firmware revision, I knew it would still be screwed up. And it is! The Ritek/Ricoh 8x DVD+RW problem persisted over, so I know the other issue will also carry over between the two drives. When the Pioneers format brand new Ricoh/Ritek 8x DVD+RW discs, they will ALWAYS fail Verify with an L-EC Uncorrectable Error at some random point! Writes will ALWAYS fail Verify on the 1.52 firmware (And the previous 1.51 firmware.) until the disc is written in another drive. After that happens, the discs ARE usable on 1.52 in the Pioneers. Pioneer always borks the firmware of their drives. 1.50 was the last firmware that worked right. The other issue is with Ricoh/Ritek Memorex 2x BD-RE. What happens there is Verify completes but for 90% of the Verify, it is capped at only 2x Verify speed! I keep TELLING Pioneer, but they don't give a damn. They only care about . So, with the current Pioneer models, you get some faster write rates, but you need 2 drives! One drive to initially write Ricoh/Ritek 8x DVD+RW and the Pioneer to write 16x BD-R at 16x. And the 2nd drive for Verifying Ricoh/Ritek Memorex BD-RE with.

Now, I have noticed random cases where when I imported a folder into a Build job in ImgBurn, it actually adds the contents from a folder from somewhere else. Are there actually 48.9 GB worth of files in that VS2017_Professional folder?

Yes, it's Hide protected operating system files (Recommended) under View under Folder Options. I always disable it as part of a new PC install.

Oh, you can ALWAYS go wrong with a Sony product. I eventually got my PS3 to play Blu-Ray movies after Sony replaced my defective model out of the box. But, someone else on here has a PS3 and it NEVER has played a Blu-Ray movie! Plays Blu-Ray PS3 games, but not movies. When my PS3 plays out, I'll just have to try whatever Blu-Ray player I can find at Wal-Mart. Definitely WON'T try a Playstation. The PS3 and the PS3 remote experiences I had finally sealed the doom of Sony with me.

It was probably the reboot. What happens every so often is an application that creates or last accessed a file is still in memory, even if it was closed off. And, it fails to properly "release" its "hold" on the file.

Try rebooting. Don't just log off Windows and sign back in. Totally restart the PC and Windows.

What is the oldest version of Windows that ImgBurn will run on?

Yes, what ImgBurn is returning is the current version of Windows it's running under. Not whatever version of Windows installation media you happen to be creating on a disc. Are you asking how ImgBurn determines the current Windows version? Actually, that's something I'd like to know myself.

Oh, he was referring to that. Yeah, that's the drive letter (I) assigned to the drive. (I hate Windows general assigning of drive letters.) It's got a : after it so it's the drive letter that is recognized in File Explorer as the optical drive letter.

I believe the number in parenthesis is the logical block address (LBA).

If they play fine on your PC or laptop drive but have problems on your player connected to your TV, then the problem is your player. Either it doesn't like those kind of DVD+R DL, particularly if you've never tried playing those before in it, or it's reached the end of its life. What kind of DVD content you burn to the discs won't determine whether or not they can be played. As long as they're DVD Video compliant, that's all that matters. And if they're not, then all that will happen is nothing will play. Grinding noises are generally caused by an inability to read media. And this can mean multiple things. A bad disc, a disc with structural protection can sometimes do this, or a dying player.

About any added benefits to firmware 1.02, well, I don't know! Without knowing what it added or changed, I simply don't know. And, LG denies any such firmware exists! But, check out what ImgBurn returns: I 18:53:07 -> Drive 4 - Info: HL-DT-ST BD-RE WH16NS60 1.02-01 (R:) (USB 3.0) I'm not entirely sure what the -01 means afterwards, but ImgBurn says the drive is returning it has 1.02 firmware installed, which LG says doesn't exist! I do know there is one benefit that wasn't added: writing 16x BD-R at 16x. It still caps 16x BD-R at 12x.

My experience has been unless you get the same results 3 times in a row on known quality media, it's just a fluke. It happens from time to time. You get a few failures in a cake stack. I've found the failure rate of Verbatim DVD+R DL is less than 1%.

The log only says the size of the layers in Logical Block Addresses. There's no way to tell times with that information. Here's the weird thing. This entry in the log: W 12:04:57 User accepted disc space warning and is attempting to underburn! It shows you tried to burn a SL sized ISO to a DL media and chose to okay to burn to the larger sized media. Yet, both layers were burned. So, I have to wonder if when you burn DL media, both layers do have to be burned, even if the 2nd layer has only padding on it so it can be burned.

Both logs show 2 layers were burnt. I've never burned a single layer ISO to a DL disc before, so maybe ImgBurn has to burn both layers even if there are no contents on the 2nd layer.

I don't know much about these options, but I'll do my best to tackle them. The Legend doesn't tell you much about the stars meaning. However, green colored stars are best and then go down from there. What "best" means though in this case, I admit, seems arbitrary to me. As for the %, never paid attention to it before so I don't know what it means. The only options I ever paid attention to are the File/VTS because I always, whenever allowed, set the layer break on a BUP file. I'd think if the layer break is put on a file, you'd never see a pause at all in any video. I can't think of a reason why you'd never want to update the IFO/BUP files. I'd think, if you checked that, then you'd just get a non-seamless layer break. I guess it's there so the code always brings up the layer break options but for people who don't want to set anything can just check that option. Then again, that doesn't make sense because there's a button for Ignore Layer Break Options. So, I don't know why that Don't update option is even available. I'm curious. What happens when you press Preview Selected Cell? Do you get a preview of anything? Is it a video stream or a menu screen?

Is a DVD+RW slightly smaller in total capacity than a DVD+R/DVD-R? Thanks!

And there's this possible future update from the forums: " As Dictator mentioned, if v7.0.0.66 is pretty stable, VSO will start working on a 64bit version of the application(s) !" So, it looks like ConvertXToDVD might go 64 bit. I wasn't aware it was actually a 32 bit application, but I checked the shortcut and it is installed in Program Files (x86).
