Sorry LUK, these were with the v1.2.0.0, only when i checked the log did i realise. I followed jmet's guide to set ImgBurn to open with DShrink, so it automatically burned with that version. Here are the latest attempts done with the beta, didn't verify the first (sorry) but did the others.... #1...Write in normal running mode (all processes running) (sorry didn't save the log or verify) #2...Discovery in normal running mode I 12:15:36 ImgBurn Version 1.2.0.4 Beta started!

Sorry guys, I've just checked the log file for the above mentioned burns (1 & 2 )and it seems i f***ed up somewhere. I'm going to run the burns again and see if the results differ any...? Please forgive my stupidity

(I've started a new thread as the previous one was originally about media/drive compatibility and have since resolved the issue.) Thanks LUK, i did as you asked from the other thread and have run 3 burns (all successful btw). The first one was done with my L/top running in what i would call normal state, ie anti virus running, internet connected and all the usual behind the scenes stuff. The second burn was the same ISO file as the first but this time with all non essential programs/app's shutdown as i did before. The third was a different ISO file and again with all non essential prog's/app's shutdown. I have a log of the first two but as all were successful i don't know if it is necessary.......

These are the results of todays foray. Although all burns have been successful since i snagged my brothers External drive. I'm confussed with what DVDinfo is showing me, in that i mean the 3 burns made today were carried out under the same conditions. Info from previous topics suggests a caching problem so I've shut down all non essential programs and background applications so very little is being used to slow down my Laptop. The only difference is that each burn was a different ISO file. What I'm asking is why do the 3 graphs not all look the same when basically the test bed was no different....?

I think we all agree with that.

Thanks LUK. I'm running from my Laptop (512mb) ram and what with all the background stuff going on that makes sense. I'll just have to start using the Queue system and burn everything when i can afford to close all non essential apps/processes.....

Ok here we go...... This is the first burn done on Write, incidentally all non essential applications/processes running in the background were shut down.... This was the second burn done in Discovery mode (which blitzed it) in comparison... http://img313.imageshack.us/img313/3230/we...ejungle28fn.png The question is can each burn be done in " Discovery " mode, or is this just for trouble shooting purposes. If so how do you locate the ISO file to burn as on the second run when opening Discovery mode there was no means to navigate to the relevant folder, it just burned the disc without any input from me, except hit start. Thanks to ALL for your time and patience in this matter......

DUH, my bad, i hang my head in shame.... Please ignore the last sentence of the previous reply.....LoL

THANKS LUK....... If it means i'll use a whole spindle to speed things up then i'm prepared to do just that and you mention " discovery mode ", again forgive my ignorance, is this within ImgBurn....?

This is the test burn results.....as you can see with the YSOX firmware, to me there seems less drop offs, or are there an equal amount but more evenly spaced....? it dropped off at 28% around the same as the previous burn so as LUK suggested it must be something other. I'm not complaining as I'm more than happy for a disc to be burnt in 10/12 minutes but I thought it only courteous to show you the results.

A humble Thank You , i'm on it this very moment. I'll burn a test piece and check to see whether the Graphs differ a great deal, if not then it must be the " Stuff " you mentioned....Cheers

Again Thanks LUK, i got the YSOX firmware d/load but there is no install notes/file. Is there a definitive guide to flashing as I flashed my laptop a many months back and the process seemed rather complicated, but what I've read over the past couple of days seems even more so, with talk of "BOOT discs and DOS mode". I know this is ImgBurn forum but I would be most grateful for a " nudge" in the right direction. After browsing RPC 1's site and it's affiliates I'm none the wiser as to the whole process without the install notes/file. Again in advance, any help is gratefully appreciated.

Thanks LUK... Now that is what i call a simple idiot proof answer......LoL, call me nieve but you mention I/O and WOPC, could you please explain the definition of these abbreviations.

Off topic slightly, I'm trying to increase my knowledge of how this all works and understand all things technical. I've posted the snapshot of DVDinfo and read the notes but could someone please take a couple of minutes and give me an idiots guide to deciphering the information below.....Thanks

on your recomendation, consider it done......

Thanks guys, i think the problem is with my drive...!!!. I currently have my brothers external re-writer plugged in and it's humming like a humming thing. You are probably correct LUK, in that it's time to upgrade my drive so it ooks like it's time to hammer the plastic.......cheers

Can you confirm my suspicions that the media I'm attempting to burn is no good for my drive. Verbatim +R are my current choice and my driver is up to date firmware wise yet i still produce coasters...LoL. This was my first attempt using ImgBurn which in it's self seem quite straight forward, but the results were identical over 4 runs. I've tried samples of all brands (excluding Taiyo Youden) and the mass of coaster speak for themselves. This is the last log and thanks in advance. I 22:31:40 ImgBurn Version 1.2.0.0 started!

Thanks guys...

I'd just like to say hi again to Lightening and the rest of the admin, i see some names from the past which made me chuckle...... Any way I've been out of the loop for quite some time now, and it's good to be back. If this forum is anything like the previous venture(dvdd) then I'm glad to have found you again. I've spent a couple of days reading up on everything new and i can see that the guys and gals are as helpful as they were in the past and still retain the humor and wit that at times had me in stitches yet solving many a problem i and many others encountered. THANKS LIGHTENING (and the rest of the team)
