Big Big Nose

Right, well after a hair tearing/ripping out session turns out it wasn't the media, it wasn't the software either img burn worked an absolute treat and i cannot fault it what so ever. It was the drive, tried numerous times on my machine which is getting on a bit, (however has sata ports) then tried the same drive on a brand new (relatively new) dell dimension E520 same result, as listed above. Gave up and tried it's original drive thinking it might of been the iso. Original dvd rewriter wrote first time using the original dvd's (Maxell). So what have I learnt from this, IMG burner is friggin sweet. XD and ebuyer is crapper than a sewer and a very rude phone call is going to be made. I want compensation as this is the 5th, yes thats right 5th item I have had to send back this month! I am so cross but IMG burner makes up for it. Thank you and sorry for wasting anybodys time. BBN

Tried 8x speed write and 12x speed write and neither wrote the iamge, im gunna do some hardware test, im gunna remove teh drive from my pc and put it in another machine tosee if it will write the iso to disk, then i know if its my pc or the drive, so i can take action with the supplier of the drive. Friggin ebuyer liabilities right there. urgh, i'll post the result.

Thankyou mmalves, ok i'll try at 8 or 12 fingers crossed it will work if not i'll reply instantly, i'll reply if it works also. thanks for the rapid reply. =)

I no for a fact that you can ise VLC palyer to play the ISO without burning to the dvd, this will play as if it was the actually dvd so you can check that everything is there =) plus it's free. It just plays anything you throw at it. You can download it here. VLC player download hope this helps. Matt

Yeh, you need DVD shrink, this will shrink/compress those files dwon to one dvd size and then publish the finished files to ISO. Resulting in all the files fitting onto to one Disk. Results are pretty good and it look identical to the original. The software is free so just use google to do a search. I hope this helps.

Keep on getting the tracking servo error when trying to Burn ISO to dvd. Tried this 3 times both on DVD decrypter and IMG burn all pulling up the same error. Im not sure if its the source in which is stopping the burn, the media or if its hardware related. I'm using Maxell R+ with 1 - 16 x write speed. I also have some immatation dvd's but wanted to use the maxell up first, plus don't want to waste anymore. The maxells did work on a previous drive and i upgraded to this newer drive and it's not completeing the burn. This is just for ISO's as it has burnt when using Convert X to DVD without any issues. Also when copying the disk, the drive is only reading between 1.8 and 5.4 speed, any help would be most appreciated. Heres the log: I 20:04:40 ImgBurn Version 2.4.4.0 started!
