  1. offer this constructive criticism:

    Tools like these need to be used with understanding. Good information is the

    real mark of a quality tool. Information about what tends to go wrong and why,

    about how to navigate your way out of problems and how to avoid them.

    That kind of information was in short supply, nor did I get much feedback like that

    in this forum. I'm still at a loss as to when to use 'test' and when not to use it.

     

    It comes across as very rude and tbh a bit lazy info was there to be read if you took a minute to search and read it.

     

    User error is generally the reason something goes wrong including being a cheapskate and buying rubbish media and buying the crappiest writer on the market. There is a wealth of info on the internet about which dvd writers are good and those that suck yet thousands of these rubbish writers are sold and end up on here

  2. everything goes well and log still says writing but it won't all the sudden with sometimes 98% done it goes non responsive could you help please,wasting to many discs to figure out on my own. Thank you

     

     

    Can anyone else see this log ? or you keeping it a secret ?

  3. And I want to report my own experience too with ImgBurn 2.4.4.0. I just burned a disc at a high speed when I wanted it to be burned at 2.4x

    Here you can read the log:

    As you can see, speed 2.4 is supported by the media, yet ImgBurn burns the disc at a higher speed (please note the maximum speed used!), so buffer overflows happened.

    Why this? I selected the lowest speed so I could do something else while burning but this did lead me to wait for buffers to recover... :sleeping:

     

     

    It's becuase your drive does not really support the media you are using.. Right click on your drive in ImgBurn and click check for firmware update, if you find one update drive... Take any disc form drive and keep tray closed or read any read me that describes update process

     

     

    2.4x is not a valid speed for dvd-r

  4. Lmfao, I didn't mean online..

     

     

     

     

     

    Now I am PMSL

     

    Saying as you live in Leeds then asking people who live in Brazil, Australia, America etc. When one of them replies and says the shop down the road from them sells them, hardly gonna be cheap for you to get them.

     

     

    Some in Uk allow pick up CCL online are they not based in Leeds or close.

  5. SATA and optical can be a bit tricky well IMO It's more tricky than PATA.

     

    The way motherboard manufacturers have gone though getting rid of 2 dedicated IDE ports and now using 1 proprietary and 1 third party is Very Nasty and sometimes can be just as tricky as getting a Sata writer to work (things have got a lot better with Sata dvd writers) but I still prefer PATA / IDE

  6. To be fair there are only about 1,180 results for "Logical Unit Communication.

     

     

    BTW try changing your IDE cable to a NEW 80 Wire (even if using 80 wire already change it - make sure it's in properly and you are using latest firmware/ and updated drivers for your controller/ chipset)

  7. Sorry but I have no idea what that means!

     

    It was my Mr Chips and Roy Walker impersonation (The Host of Catchphrase) :lol

     

     

    It means the disc you burnt will work in my xbox 360 but not in yours as there is nothing wrong with the disc you burnt the problem lies elsewhere as in yours will not Boot that disc but mine will. Yours may well be capable of booting all your previous backup disc's that used XGD2DVD_NTSC but not what has replaced those words anyway google has all the answers btw update your firmware from 1.4 1.5 etc

     

    As this is not an ImgBurn problem use google as the disc write and verify was successful

     

    Also I know times are hard since Batman went solo but try to please buy a few more games.

  8. At the end of the day anyway It's Never an ImgBurn problem if something comes out black and white HTF can it be.

     

    Especially when it's a game. If you have a video disc shot in black and white and you copy it with ImgBurn you get black and white ...What goes in comes out. ImgBurn certainly does not and cannot make it colour.

     

     

    By PAL/NSTC i assume you mean the setting thats on my tv.. I changed that around and nothing changed.

    hey lol google pal/ntsc issues and you will see some issues like your TV might well do pal / ntsc but not 60 hz or not pal 60 and also look at issues under certain connection limitations to said TV's ..Then get your TV FIXED or update it to a modern one. If it is modern email SUPPORT of whoever makes your TV Co's it's broken or a very poor brand for the 21st century.

  9. The dvd writer you have is a terrible one which obviously is part of the problem, a big part it has to be said but if you can find firmware for it update it..., it might help.

     

    The present firmware does not have a write strategy for the MKM-003-00 disc's you have.. You should really have bought MKM-001-00 2.4x ones and not the 8x ones.

     

    A new firmware might include a strategy for the 8x MKM-003-00 or it might have a tweaked Generic 8x write strategy.

     

    So try a firmware update if you can get one..

     

    If still no good after updating then get an external burner or buy some 2.4 MKM-001-00 Verbatim

  10. It's got nothing to do with burning / ImgBurn.

     

    B&W is normally a PAL/NTSC issue.

     

    That's not true because my ps1 didnt work on my hdtv but did on my non hdtv lol

     

     

    Which means it's a PAL / NTSC 60Hz issue as LUK said. LOL

     

    Strange because I've changed settings around, and nothing changed.. lol..

     

     

    You make no sense :sleeping:
