You not into curry spinner ? Don't worry I didn't think of all of those - they were sent in an email !!

If you believe the tabloid press here a gun is the new "gadget" to have for some young gangs...... I guess without careful control we could end up in a right mess.....

Yeah thats true - but 99% of the time I hate all the adverts and extras on the start of a DVD, much prefer movie only options !

I think Kev would have to let the oil patch burn for a while on the drive - it was huge, apparently at one point Red Adair was seen in the area. He was contemplating capping the oil fire if it got out of hand !!

I remember this debate before, I also remember agreeing with Lightning UK! that it was likely to cause more problems than it would solve. Shamus' solution seems simple enough for those who really want it

Nah chewy they are real expensive here compared to in the US !

Damn right !!

What probs have you had with DL burning ? I have only burnt around 10 DL discs but using Verbatim DVD+R DL all of them have been flawless with DVDD and now ImgBurn. Do you use the Verb DVD+R DL's ? I have read of a lot of problems with other dyes when making DL burns....

My wife doesn't agree !!!

Mmm well I purposely didn't answer the DVDD v ImgBurn program part You already know why they are different and that one does something the other can't. It's your choice - they are not going to clash if you worried about that but I can't say anymore. Tricks ? Well as I said above ImgBurn is under continuous development, therefore new burners are always being supported and whilst I don't know of any specific improvements to DL burning with ImgBurn I do all my burning with it

Sounds like attempts at control are gonna be a little too late for you guys then spinner ?

Makes sense to me - if the second one plays up you know its more likely to be your PC....

Well for a start DVD Decrypter is no longer supported, due to legal reasons that all stopped last summer. So although it still remains a fantastic program it ain't gonna get any better than it is now ! ImgBurn is Lightning UK!'s new baby, as you know it takes the write part of DVDD and makes it better. There is a support forum (here !! ), support for new burners and new improvements are being made all the time, such as the ability to queue burns on mulitple drives if you have them. Read jmet's guide about Shrink and ImgBurn, if you use Shrink it may be of use to you !

Given the short timescale tho I don't think you have anything to lose by returning it for another one. If the new one is still problematic you can then follow the advice that chewy and others can offer to pinpoint whats going on That's my 2 cents worth anyways....

Here you go Kev - you sick bastard....

Oh ok - you could be right, I don't recall whether the person with the crap burn was OEM or Retail drive....... Might find out soon if I can get one of the blooming things !!!

Yeah and Rose in a swimsuit !!! She would have to sort those eyebrows tho........

<booming voice> Kev ! Clean that oil off your driveway..... <mystical light shines on oil patch>

I almost thought that burner was going back then.......

I am not sure you can cross flash mate......well not at the moment anyways !

Ssshhhhh ! I think the insurance company haven't realised that yet !!

Well it does learn how to burn as it goes Grain Also read LUK!'s post about BenQ apparently forgetting to include a write strategy for the Verb DVD+R DL's !! oops !! A FW coming soon then eh ?

Daemon Tools has always been problem free for me too !
