I tried again with a new blank at 10x, failed at last track. I will try and get the Taiyo Yuden, even though online shops are selling 2-3X dearer than most other brands, but I guess it's worth the expense, better than throwing my money away on the 'cheap' stuff.

ok now I just thought of something: the file size is 8xx,xxx,xxx bytes, but only 78min, it should have burnt as a cd-audio so the file size shouldn't affect it right? the visible burn mark on the disc is about 2-3mm from the outer edge, so it should of still had physical room on the disc, is that right?

btw: plays to @bout track 29 but is poor quality from @bout 26-29 stops at track 30, but shows to 32 in list

Start Time of LeadIn: 97m24s16f Last Possible Start Time of LeadOut: 79m59s74f So my conclusion is .cue works but mp3 does not. (mp3 locks up logical device, cannot read at all. And I have cleaned the lens) What encoding do you recommend: ISO9660 OR UDF OR both and what is data type? mode1 and mode2??

nope nothing in windows log. I can't remember the exact msg - LIGHTNING UK!: you would know what the error is and why it's caused?

sorry for taking so long to reply.... but what do u mean by getting a new burner? and where to get it? That burner name sounds familiar, i think i had one in my old pc, is it an LG? I had problems with it burning TDK DVD media (even though LG recommended it!) It wouldn't completely fail, but movies would get to about halfway and start mucking up - wasted so many discs and was very frustrating to not be able to watch a movie the whole way through!

I just tried burning a .cue as this has always worked previously, but I got the error "layouts do not match" when verifying

Also here is the log when imgburn is started: I 16:09:11 ImgBurn Version 2.5.0.0 started!

Hi I've had my HP laptop for a while now and I have always had trouble urning data cd's I can burn DVD's and .CUE cd's but cannot burn mp3 cd's in the form of a data cd. This does not only apply to imgburn but any program i use in windows vista. I am able to burn a cd with now problems but when it is verifying or i reinsert it, I get "logical unit timeout" in imgburn (also shows no info in read mode) or in windows explorer it just hangs until I eject the disc. I am using sony media and CMC Magnetics Corp as well as others in the past. These are the readouts for blank media: TSSTcorp CD/DVDW TS-L632M 0917 (ATA) Current Profile: CD-R Disc Information: Status: Empty Erasable: No Free Sectors: 359,844 Free Space: 736,960,512 bytes Free Time: 79:59:69 (MM:SS:FF) ATIP Information: Disc ID: 97m26s66f Manufacturer: CMC Magnetics Corp.
