This is a fairly recent event .Dont understand the drive being at fault when decrypt works ok? also aborting while it says write leadin has'nt resulted in coasters as yet. Time wise too long is longer than I care to wait next time I'll time it .Decrypt takes about a minute to leadin.I've been using Imgburn for well over a year now and this only recent

Hi now this may well be my impatience but on the last 2 or 3 times when trying to burn form Iso file the time taken to write leadin seems to be taking too long (compared to decrypt). Not wishing to make a coaster I click abort am asked if Im sure i confirm . Imgburn then seems to hang or at least take too long to shut down.Put the samr file in dectypt and its done and dusted in no time.Anything apart from impatience that might be wrong.

I have read the faq that says decrypter has to be installed but having just had to reinstall evrthing I find so far decrypt is no longer avaiable .Is there any other way to get shrink to select imgburn automatically

Hi all the footage was in the same analogue format 4:3 via the same camcorder no problem recording (Panasonic) whatsoever only prob was copying the master disc. Fortunately havent too many to do so the shrink workaround will suffice Thanks for the points

Thanks but it looks as if it may well be the source which is VHS footage recorded on dvd recorder >That all works fine but when I try to duplicate the disc the copies wont play on the dvd player.unless I go through shrink instead of decrypt. Just all this coincided with the upgrade but obviously now it has nowt to do with that.Thanks for your attention. Is IMGburn ever going to Read to save using decrypt?

Yes it was ok after going through shrink but I never had to do that before.If I had a dvd that did not require shrinking and was not encrypted I just used decrypt to read and imgburn to burn . For some reason now that produces dvd's that wont play on my dvd player.Ok I have a workaround by using shrink but curious why rhis has suddenly happened

Yes it supports -RW the I always have any dvd disabled and these are not encrypted discs

Thanks no change in the discs the ones that failed to play in the standalone were Read in Decrypt and burnt with Img. I have just ran the original through Shrink and burnt the cpy with Img and it plays ok on the standalone. Have attached the log of the one that failed I 17:56:41 ImgBurn Version 2.0.0.0 started!

Oh yes

Have used Imgburn for a year now with no problems bur coinciding with the recent update my discs no longer play on my standalone player. It just goes from loading to Stop. Play ok on pc

In shrink open both files go to reauthor and drag the first lot of files or movie click on start end and click ok then do the same with the second file then do back up. might not be word perfect worked puting two seperate dvd's onto one

A simple question from one who (thanks to this forum) has just managed his first DL burn You are creating an MDS file ie it is ticked in the preference in decrypt?

Ok guys thanks to everyone tried and succesfully burned a verbatim+r DL without a hitch. Also plays ok in my -R player

9 times out 10, yes. Thanks kenadjian also Thanks Chewy I did that update to 2.88 and it accepted the disc started to burn then failed which is a step further than before. Got some Verbatims on order.Cheers Jaymac

Thanks will that enable my player which only plays dvd- to play a+

Thanks guys will try that Cornholio7 do you use - 0r + or matters it not

On my first attempt at burning to dual layer getting the following failure I'm pretty sure my burner will do DL I'v never had any problems burning D5's. and not exactly an expert inthis field thanks for any advice I 14:03:31 ImgBurn Version 1.3.0.0 started!
