Did a test and as I can understand it - DVDFlick has the old ver 2.3.2.0 bundled inside itself and that is that old versions that starts when the burning is done in DVDFlick.
And as soon as the burning stage starts - the 'update window' starts.

Hi and welcome to the forum, jimmied01!
Did you install ImgBurn in the default folder as C:\Program Files\ImgBurn
-
I 10:21:36 Source Media Type: DVD-R (Disc ID: TYG02)
It is a burned disc you are trying to read from.
-
-
Curious.
Can you see on the package of those discs if they are made in India or in Singapore?
-
That when it was burnt the first time, the burning went wrong. If it had been a Princo disc it sounds very likely, but you seems to use better stuff. But even the sun has its spots...
That TYG02 disc. Is it a real Taiyo Yuden disc, or is it a fake one?
-
Hi and welcome to the forum, wario!
The program can't read the disc. Is the disc scratched/dirty? Tried to clean it?
-
It could be that the media is not listed in the drivers firmware and that the burner is using a generic write strategy.
Have you tried to check if your computer brand has a later firmware to download?

What did you do to get to that one?
It looks very colorful...
-
It should be written on the box as 'Made in Singapore'.
-
The last screen shot also looks ok. At least all the files that should be there are there. (Assuming that it was 7 avi clips from the start and none was deleted after that Flick was done.)
-
Just to be sure that the burned disc is ok. If you open up the disc in Windows Explorer - does it looks so here in the file structure
AUDIO_TS
VIDEO_TS
The first map is empty and the other one is filled with .ifo/.bup/.vob files? Like this one:

I 22:24:20 Write Speed: 8x
I 21:56:07 Average Write Rate: 6,146 KB/s (4.4x) - Maximum Write Rate: 11,185 KB/s (8.1x)
Edit: You need to change the Write Speed in DVDFab's settings under 'DVD/Burn'. I think it defaults to 'Recommended' speed.
Hi Cynthia. Cynthia I'm using DVDFab Plat to backup and make the .iso only. I'm burning w/Imgburn. Why would the write speed in DVDFAb affect Imgburn?
My bad. Got the impression that you was burning the files directly from the inside of DVDFab by using ImgBurn as the burning engine.
-
It would come up w/"trying to lock the drive" and I would have to hit continue. It then would proceed.
That's normal when you use your current program combination.

My Q6600.
Is 72.6 ns
Yours 65.9 ns
But I only have 2048MB DDR2 667 MHz.
Noticed that memory prices have gone right down in the basement since last time i bought memory. Perhaps time to invest in some new memories.

If you still have this image file:
Image File: C:\Documents and Settings\memphis.OWNER-BQZEUDB8K\My Documents\Newsbin Download\r0-lood1.par2[1]\r0-lood1\lodisseyd1.dvdYou can use the 'Verify' Mode (with DVD43) disabled to see if it works on the disc that reported bad sectors.
-
DVD43 running could very well impact on the verify stage.

4.1.1 Change Volume Label...
If you have an already created image file and you want to change the existing 'Volume Label' name for the various file systems, this function allows you to do that.
-
Select the image file that you want to change the names for by using the folder button to browse to the location of the desired image file.-
Volume Label
-
Copies automatically the content of the current file system rows 'Volume Label' text, to the other two file systems 'Volume Label' text field.

.[*]4.1.2 Display IFO Layer Break Information...
This function will display the layer break information on a double layer disc image.
It's also possible to preview the cell before and after the layer break.
Note: If you right click on a row, you'll get a context menu.
-
[*]4.2 Drive
-
4.2.1 Refresh
Does a new initiation of the disc and reads it once again. Just as you had inserted the disc once again.
. -
4.2.2 ReZero
The REZERO UNIT command positions the laser head of the drive to the zero track (LBA 0) and basically reinitialises the drive.
This command exists for command compatibility and it works on several drives.
. -
4.2.3 Load
Closes the drive tray.
. -
4.2.4 Eject
Ejects the drive tray.
. -
4.2.5 Lock Tray
Locks the device tray.
. -
4.2.6 UnLock Tray
Unlocks the drive tray.
. -
4.2.7 Set Read Speed
This function tells the drive to work at the speed you have selected in the drop down list, a speed that's then used by whatever other program happens to be using it.
. -
4.2.8 Erase Disc
The 'Erase Disc' function will allow you to erase a rewritable disc if it's desired. ImgBurn will ask you which type of erase it should perform.-
4.2.8.1 Quick
This is the fastest of the two modes as the deleting will be done by writing zeros to the first 800 sectors.
If the +RW/BD media has not been previously formatted or is in the need for a full erase ImgBurn will tell you so.
A proper erased/formatted +RW media can then just be overwritten the next time you write to it without the need to first do an erase. -RW media always needs at least a quick erase before a new writing.
. -
4.2.8.2 Full
Wipes out the whole disc. This takes longer time than the 'Quick' version above.
[*]4.2.9 SmartErase
The 'SmartErase' function will rewrite CD-R/DVD±R with random meaningless characters so that the original data and the disc will be "destroyed". Once you "SmartErased" a disc, you don't have to worry about that someone will access the confidential data from the disc you dumped. ImgBurn will ask you which type of erase it should perform. Note that you need to have a a SmartErase-capable drive installed, like the latest generation 22x DVD rewriters from Lite-On.
-
4.2.9.1 Quick
Quick Erase erases only the information stored in Lead-in area and data stored on the first track. Once the information in Lead-in area is destroyed, the drive cannot find the location where the data is stored. Therefore the data can not be read. Though some data recovery may have the chance to recover data from areas where data has not been overwritten.
Pros: Takes less time to destroy a disc.
Cons: Data on the disc may have the chance to be restored by data recovery software.
. -
4.2.9.2 Full
Full Erase erases all the disc, from Lead-in to Lead-out area of every session on the disc. The data on a full erased disc will no longer be restored.
Pros: Fully destroy the information and data on the disc. Data on the disc will no longer be restored.
Cons: Takes a longer time to destroy a disc.
[*]4.2.10 Synchronise Cache
The command flushes the cached buffers to media which makes it possible to resume the data flow.
Synchronise Cache is used after a failed burn (not needed if you burnt with ImgBurn because it performs that operation regardless). It basically tells the drive that the write operation has finished and that it's to finish writing everything in it's cache to the disc and basically clean up after itself.
.
[*]4.2.11 Close
If your burned disc has not been properly closed, you can do it here.
-
4.2.11.1 Track
Closes the last track on the disc, as reported by the disc information command.
. -
4.2.11.2 Session
Closes the session.
. -
4.2.11.3 Disc
Closes the whole disc.
[*]4.2.12 Change Advanced Settings...
Here you can change some advanced settings if you have a BenQ, Lite-On, Pioneer, Plextor or Samsung drive.
Note: Older drives might not support these settings.
-
4.2.12.1 BenQ
-
OverSpeed
Makes it possible to write a 4x or 8x rated DVD +/-R disc at 8x or higher speeds.
. -
Solid Burn (Known Media)
With SolidBurn, the theory is that you need not update the firmware constantly. The drive itself ensuring an optimal writing strategy on all DVD +/-R media. SolidBurn has it’s own self learning algorithm to allow DVD+/-R media to be written with increased quality. This option is if the media code is known in the currently installed firmware version.
. -
Solid Burn (Unknown Media)
Same function as the above one, except that this option is used if the media code is unknown in the currently installed firmware version.
. -
Test Write (For DVD +R/+RW/+R DL Media)
Allows for test writing to DVD +R/+RW/+R DL media. If enabled, the whole burning process will be simulated, but the laser will never be turned on. The purpose is to ensure that data can successfully be written onto the disc. So when ImgBurn reports that the burning was successful or failed under 'Test Write' enabled mode, you know that 'Test Write' has done its job. There will be no other messages shown.
The drive will remain writing data in simulation mode until you either change this setting or reboot your computer.
. -
WOPC
Walking Optimal Power Control (WOPC) is enabled by default, the laser power will be dynamically adjusted according to disc condition. During power adjustment, the drive will pause for some nano-seconds.
There are two scenarios where WOPC can be disabled.- With superb and defect-free media, WOPC can be disabled to reduce burning time.
- With low-speed (<4x) and poor-quality DVD -R media, WOPC can be disabled to increase successful burning rate.
It will remain disabled until you either change this setting or reboot your computer.
- With superb and defect-free media, WOPC can be disabled to reduce burning time.
[*]4.2.12.2 Lite-On
-
Force HyperTuning
Hyper Tuning - Auto Write Strategy (AWS) is a technology for the drive to automatically find the optimal writing strategy for each different media. If the drive supports Hyper Tuning, it will use Hyper Tuning to write for unknown, or unsupported, DVD±R and DVD±R DL media only. If you want to use this function for all media, you need to enable this feature.
HyperTuning also works with supported media. When enabled, the drive will ignore the writing strategy stored in the firmware and instead create a new one. This is very useful if you are trying to record a disc that uses another company's MID code (I.E. fake TYG02 code discs).
According to Lite-On, drives that support HyperTuning can store in the memory up to five writing strategies. With each new burn, these writing strategies are further optimized until the maximum possible writing speed is achieved.
. -
Online HyperTuning
To let the drive check the write quality during recording and modify the writing strategy in real-time, in order to get better writing quality. It may take more time for the recording if you enable this feature.
. -
OverSpeed
If you want to write the media in higher writing speed than the media is rated for, you need to enable this feature. OverSpeed does have some limitations. To prevent people from writing to all DVD±R media at 16x, the writing speed can only be bumped up one level. For example, if your disc was normally supported at only 8x, the writer would now give you the option to write to it at 12x. Oddly enough, this does not apply to DVD±R DL media.
OverSpeed relies heavily on HyperTuning. When a disc is written at a higher than the normal speed, HyperTuning will automatically create a new writing strategy for it.
. -
SmartBurn
For each particular writing session and for each used brand of media, SmartWrite optimizes the writing strategy and automatically memorizes this strategy for every recordable media the drive has ever burned. Through this self learning mechanism you can make good quality burns with all media including cheap no-brand media without the need to update firmware. Simply enable SmartWrite, insert your disc and burn. The new writing strategy is then created during the burn process.
. -
Clear OPC History
The writer collects 'learning data' on how to best burn the discs from the burning sessions. This 'Optimum Power Calibration' (OPC) history can be cleared with this function.
Every time you flash new firmware, the OPC is cleared automatically.
[*]4.2.12.3 Pioneer
-
Optimal Writing Speed
This function priorities writing quality by automatically adjusting writing speeds for high speed DVD-R/+R media that is inserted into the drive.
Applicable for models: DVR-116D/DBK/DSV, DVR-216D/DBK/DSV, DVR-216/BK/SV, DVR-117D/DBK/DSV, DVR-217D/DBK/DSV and DVR-217/BK/SV
Important Note: your drive must have firmware V1.06 or higher on a DVR-116/216, to operate correctly with the Optimal Writing Speed function.
. -
Optimal Writing Speed (Save To Drive)
The same function as above, except that it will be enabled even if you use other burning programs.
[*]4.2.12.4 Plextor
-
AutoStrategy
For the best writing quality, the drive's AutoStrategy technology selects the optimized write strategy for every DVD disc and, if necessary, creates a new write strategy for unknown media. This function is only available for DVD +R and DVD -R media (4X and higher).
. -
PowerRec
Plextor Optimized Writing Error Reduction Control (PowerRec) adjusts the laser power and writing speed so they're at the optimum settings for that particular disc. Using real-time monitoring of the write data, PowerRec can increase or decrease write power and speed to guarantee the best possible writing quality with whatever brand media is used.
[*]4.2.12.5 Samsung
-
Magic Speed
The stated purpose of Magic Speed is 'to select and use a reading speed from the ROM DRIVE between the max speed mode and the low noise mode'. It doesn't control recording speed or reading speed for a DVD.
[*]4.2.12.6 Advanced
If you have an OEM drive from BenQ, LG, Lite-On, NEC, NuTech, Plextor, Ricoh or Samsung, this function makes it possible to add the OEM drive in a table, so that ImgBurn can read the current status setting(s) that you have applied. If you have already applied this in the 'Advanced' feature in the 'Change Book Type' function (section 4.2.12 of this guide), there is no need to do it here as it's the same function.
As an example I will use my 'SONY DVD RW DW-Q30A' drive, a re badged Lite-On SHW-1635S drive.
-
Press the 'Advanced' button.
. -
Select the 'real' manufacturer of your drive in the 'Drive OEM' drop down box.
I select 'Lite-On'.
. -
Type in the ID string of your drive as it's visible within the main program window.
. -
Press the 'OK' button.
The next time you write to a disc, you will have any of the enabled Lite-On features for the drive to show up in the log.

The erase button will allow you to erase the disc if it's desired. ImgBurn will ask you which type of erase it should perform.
If the +RW/BD media has not been previously formatted or is in the need for a full erase the 'Quick' option is disabled. A proper erased/formatted +RW media can then just be overwritten the next time you write to it without the need to first do an erase. -RW media always needs at least a quick erase before a new writing.-
Quick
This is the fastest of the two modes as the deleting will be done by writing zeros to the first 800 sectors.
. -
Full
ImgBurn will write zeros to the full disc. This erase will take the same amount of time as it will take for a regular writing to the media at MAX speed.
[*]Test Mode
'Test Mode' will fake a burning. Every step involved in a real burning will be carried out, except turning on the laser.
It's mainly a test to see if the data can be delivered to the writer quickly enough to avoid 'data starvation', as you can see in this log part:
W 00:00:00 Waiting for buffers to recover... (LBA: 102944) W 00:00:00 Waiting for hard disk activity to reach threshold level...
It also gives a check that your drive can deal with the commands that is sent to it during the write phase. As the laser beam is never activated, it can't test that the media will burn without burn fails, generated by bad write quality.
'Test Mode' is not supported for +R/+RW media.
The default setting is 'Disabled'.
.
[*]Verify
If you want to verify that your image has been written properly to your disc you can select this option. It will re-read your burned disc and compare it to the original source files or image. The 'Verify' option is disabled if you have selected the 'Test Mode' option.
The default setting is 'Enabled'.

If you want to burn as fast as either the drive or the media is capable of, then select 'MAX'. If you want to write at a desired speed, then select that corresponding number at which you want to write at in the drop down box.
The 'AWS' option will use the speed you have entered in the function 'Automatic Write Speed' for the media or combination of media and drive. If you haven't set any speed for it there, it will use 'MAX' speed. The 'Automatic Write Speed' function is explained in section 4.9 of this guide.
. -
Opens the function 'Automatic Write Speed', that can be used if you want to change/add a default write speed for the media or combination of media and drive. This function is explained in section 4.9 of this guide. You can also read more about it in the 'How to use the 'Automatic Write Speed' feature' guide.
