  1. Sorry about my sheer chutzpah in offering a tip for others facing this issue even though it's not specifically an ImgBurn issue; that was rather rude of me. Thanks for not banning me for such an outrageous act. As for your "maximum number of secrets that may be stored in a single system has been exceeded" message, now that I know you were "deadly serious" -- please re-read my OP on that point, in which I wrote: "which I think is another example of LIGHTNING UK!'s curious wit even if it also indicates a virus/rootkit infection" -- and were in absolutely no way pulling our collective legs, kindly inform us of the maximum limit of secrets that can be stored on a single system for each operating system and precisely how the system determines just how many secrets are stored there and what process or processes perform the measuring. Do you think I could trick the system by converting the textual secrets into ROT13? Anyway, thanks for reminding me that no good deed goes unpunished...
  2. I just updated to the latest release of ImgBurn (2.5.2.0 for XP Pro/SP3), but when I launched it, I received the dreaded "No devices detected!" message in the log window. (It did not show "The maximum number of secrets that may be stored in a single system has been exceeded", which I think is another example of LIGHTNING UK!'s curious wit even if it also indicates a virus/rootkit infection). So I visited the FAQ and the forum and tried everything suggested, from changing the I/O interface to all the other options, and updating the ASPI drivers and all that, and making various registry changes, and even including removing the devices under the device manager and rebooting. I spent about 4 hours on this, but no matter what I tried, nothing worked! So I visited Microsoft's support site and found this: Automated Troubleshooter for "Your CD or DVD drive can't read or write media". I downloaded and ran the troubleshooter app and, lo and behold, it fixed everything! The results page it produced is attached. If I had tried this first, it would have saved me all those hours; so I thought I'd post this to help others with this problem. I suggest adding this to the FAQ and the sticky in this forum.
  3. Okay, thanks again LIGHTNING UK!, for your patience with me as well as for your knowledge and assistance, and most of all, for your time. You sure come across as a good bloke, as I think you folks say (as a 'merican, I'm not supposed to know even that much about you furriners, but what the hell...
  4. The bit in bold is the error text you should be looking at. That's what all the other rubbish above it actually breaks down to. If you've made an image of the disc and are simply burning that, there's no reason for it not to work equally as well as the 'mounted' image. They are identical. That is of course assuming the disc verifies ok. Thanks, but perhaps you don't realize how unhelpful that is. May I ask you to help me understand what the "Internal target failure" error message is trying to tell me and what relevance that should have for future efforts? I know enough basic SCSI terminology to suspect that the term "target" is related to SCSI-talk, but why would that message appear and what do I need to do to avoid that? I see no persuasive argument to suspect an actual physical problem with the burner or the disc or a SCSI hardware issue. You say "there's no reason for it not to work equally as well as the 'mounted' image", but the fact is, it doesn't. So clearly there's some reason for that. The mounted image files all play perfectly on my computers, but the fact of the matter is one of the two discs burned by ImgBurn wouldn't even play there. More to the point, I don't need ImgBurn to watch these titles on my computers. I need it for burning physical discs. I asked other questions too. Nero 9 burned the very same image file to the very same BD-RE disc and it played perfectly on all my devices, including both standalone BluRay players. Yet when I burned it with ImgBurn, it would not play there, even though spare areas were present and enabled, which tells me there's a clearly relevant difference between Nero 9 and ImgBurn. I'd prefer using ImgBurn so that I have greater control over the burn speed and related settings, but if it's going to produce discs that won't play on my standalone players there's no value there. Surely there's more that needs elucidation on all of these points. I read up on cleaning dual-layer BD-RE discs, and it turns out that these are considerably more resilient to scratches and the like than even high quality DVD discs are. The advice? Don't worry too much about those issues (if you feel it's necessary, use radial swipes, but even just spritzing them with a little water then rubbing them on your shirt is perfectly fine). Thus, the "target error" most likely had nothing to do with dirty media. So what did cause it? I just burned the very same image (Title 1) using Nero 9 on the same burner with a BD-R disc, and it again played perfectly on my standalone players. I'm going to burn that title again on the BD-RE discs I've used before using ImgBurn with verify. In the mean time, there's more than likely a real problem here, and I need significantly more assistance on this problem. Thank you.
  5. Thanks again, LIGHTNING UK! Lots of good info there. First, a correction and some clarifications: (1): Disc 1/Title 1 as burned by ImgBurn did end up playing on WinDVD 2010 Pro; I just had to launch AnyDVD HD to work around the fact that the computer I played it on had previously been deemed incompatible with the DRM technology whatsit (I can't recall the acronym, but I think it has 4 letters). (2): Disc 2/Title 2 as burned by ImgBurn did not play on WinDVD 2010 Pro, even with AnyDVD HD enabled. Note that both burned successfully (but I did not verify the burns). (3): Since, as described above, the discs burned with Nero 9 played fine everywhere (though those discs had the spare areas enabled), I tried Nero 9 again and just overwrote (as you and mmalves kindly advised me) them. Since the discs had previously been full erased with ImgBurn's option to disable spare areas, I thought this would be a good test to determine if there was something different between Nero 9 and ImgBurn's burning process, since spare areas might well be required (as you suggested might be the case in your reply) for standalone players. I also chose to verify the burns as you also suggested. The result was a bit unexpected. The first new Nero 9 burn was to a disc that definitely did not have spare areas. It was burned at 2x after Nero did it's Max Speed Test. The burn failed, curiously enough, as a result of a hardware error (or so Nero reported it). Here's the Nero log (I hope it's not blasphemous to post it!): Windows XP 5.1 IA32 WinAspi: - NT-SPTI used Nero Version: 9.4.13.100 Internal Version: 9, 4, 13, 100 Recorder: <PIONEER BD-RW BDR-205> Version: 1.03 - HA 1 TA 1 - 9.4.13.100 Adapter driver: <Serial ATA> HA 1 Drive buffer : 4000kB Bus Type : via Inquiry data Connected to MMC as unknown drive with class-nr : 1 Drive is autodetected - recorder class: Std.

In any case, the Nero burn failed. I guessed that this might have been because of the lack of spare areas (although it might also be related to too fast a burn speed, but since I let Nero determine the burn speed, I didn't think I should override it). So my hypothesis was that if I did a full Nero erase, it would either give me the option of explicitly enabling spare areas again or it would do so as the default. Since it did not offer me the choice, I assumed it would re-establish the spare areas. After the full erase, I tried to burn the same title on the same disc using Nero again. The burn failed again! The logs were almost identical, so instead of posting the second Nero log in full, I'll just note the differences: (A): The first burn log included the bit about the media not being empty. Since I'd done a full erase prior to the second attempt, the second log did not include that section. (: Some of the hex data in the SPTI Error -1061 log was different, but all the error codes were the same in both logs. Key question: Are there valid grounds to think that that -1061 error had anything to do with dirty media? I would think that would be the main reason to have spare areas; i.e., so that the burning software would more likely always have a clean place to burn data that didn't verify successfully in the original location. I'm always very careful with my media, but I would think that given the very high density of a dual-layer BD-RE disc, normal care might not be enough. After handling these discs even a few times, the write surface looks somehow dustier and less perfect than I would have expected. The thing is, I have no good idea what to do about this: I'm understandably very hesitant to clean them even with radial swipes (as opposed to circular ones), but I've tried carefully anyway. The discs look cleaner afterward, but perhaps they're not clean enough. Anyone know how this ultra-high-density re-writable media should be cleaned? (4): You suggested I try loading the image files in VirtualCloneDrive and playing them on my computer. They all play perfectly that way, so it seems to me that the content isn't the issue and that the difference must lie in something related to burning physical discs from these BluRay image files or BluRay folders. One thing to keep in mind is that when I first used ImgBurn, the BD-RE discs did have the spare areas, but unlike Nero 9 (which I used to burn them first), the ImgBurn discs never played in my standalone players (again, even though the spare areas were present). Here's what I'm going to try now: I'm going to do a full erase using ImgBurn and explicitly re-enable the spare areas. Then I'm going to try Nero again. If that succeeds, I'm going to retry ImgBurn with the same disc (with the spare areas) and see what happens. Final question for this post: Should I change the I/O tab's Interface settings? What other ImgBurn settings should I use for discs with spare areas? Is there any way to produce a more detailed log from ImgBurn, or is that unnecessary? Many, many thanks to those who read through all that!
  6. New problem: None of the Dual Layer BD-RE discs I've burned with ImgBurn with play on any of my computers or on any of my standalone BluRay players. I'm sure this is yet another case of pilot error (or should I say "YouZer Error"), so I'd appreciate help in figuring out what I'm doing wrong. When I burned the BluRay ISOs in question on the very same BD-RE discs using Nero 9's Nero Burning Rom, they played fine on my computers as well as on my standalone players (and I chose physical BD-RE discs in the first place so that I can play them on those standalone players). Note that the ones that played were quick formatted by Nero first (and so I assume the spare areas were enabled) as well as burned with Nero. All discs were burned using the Pioneer burner referenced in this thread, and all of those I burned with ImgBurn reported complete success. One burn was reported in the log above, and note that spare areas were enabled as well as the settings reported in that log. Here's the most recent ImgBurn log for the second title: I 00:21:48 ImgBurn Version 2.5.0.0 started!

Both discs/titles were recognized as BD-ROM discs and loaded without error. Disc 1/Title 1 played the previews fine, but when it got to the main title, nothing played at all (and no error messages came up). Nothing played at all on Disc2/Title 2, not even the previews. On my computers using WinDVD Pro 2010, like the players, XP showed their volume names correctly and WinDVD recognized them as BD-ROM discs, but it could not play anything on either discs. The two different standalone BluRay players - a Sony BDP-S300 and a Sharp BD-HP21U -- each has the latest firmware installed (I updated them both to the latest versions just 2 days ago). And they're connected to two different 1080p high-def TVs as well, so the TV is not the problem either. Since my guess is that the first log (post #6) would match Nero 9's settings (I changed nothing from the defaults) and that played fine and that neither ImgBurn disc played on either player, I would assume that Nero used different settings than what's reported in that log. The only other thing that I can think of is that Nero used UDF 2.60 while I left ImgBurn's default of UDF 2.50 stand. So what am I doing wrong now?
  7. 10x is quite impressive, but this new Pioneer BDR-205 I own writes BD-R at 12x. That's the main reason I bought it. Although I've been discussing BD-RE media in these posts, I have several 50GB dual layer BD-R blank discs as well. By the way, there's one question I forgot to ask: Performing a full erase with spare areas disabled took nearly 1.5 hours. If I had to do that every time before I overwrite a BD-RE disc, the total time to burn would be much longer than it took to re-burn after a quick erase. So the question is: Would I have to do a full erase every time, or from now on can I perform a quick erase? I assume that's true since I doubt you would have suggested it otherwise...
  8. I believe the simple answer is: YES, that's normal. 43Gb is an awful lot of data. I can do a 8.5Gb file in 45mins, and yours is 5x that big. These monster discs require that we re-set our expectations. I see what you posted later, but I just wanted to note here that on my systems I can burn a 8.5 GB dual-layer DVD in about 11 minutes (that's on other burners rather than the Pioneer, but I think the Pioneer might even be able to do it faster, though I haven't tried that yet). 45 minutes for the same thing sounds awfully slow to me...
  9. Thanks for the very helpful info, mmalves. Would you checking my thinking on the following, please? It seems then that after doing a full erase with spare areas disabled, I would want to enable "Optimal Writing Speed" for the Pioneer so that the burn isn't always written at max speed if that would mean the end burn would be bad? And also that I'd get a little speed improvement if I enabled FastWrite as well? In other words, do you think I should invert the settings for those two features to: "Optimal Writing Speed" = Enabled, and "FastWrite" enabled as well in order to get the fastest burn while still getting a good burn?
  10. Okay, I used ImgBurn to erase the disk (quick). I just read your reply above and now I know to do a full erase next time. Since you note that there's no significantly different execution path between ISO and direct to disc writing, I'll try burning the BluRay folders to disc again later and see if I get the same results. Pilot error and all that. Here's the log for my most recent speed test for writing an image file: I 02:19:37 ImgBurn Version 2.5.0.0 started!

Is that normal? I know now that I need to do a full ImgBurn erase with the default settings first next time. But as for the messages in blue, is there anything I can do to avoid those messages and increase the speed significantly? A few minutes less wouldn't be very helpful... Thanks again for your valuable time and assistance.
  11. Oops. Pilot error is the most likely diagnosis, as I'm a newbie and stupidly failed to recognize the significance of the SPTD warning. But I was a good lad who looked it up himself and uninstalled it without bugging you! Do I regain any points for that? I'll try burning again and report back on the speed issue...
  12. Wow, I never expected a reply by the Maestro himself! You've developed an astonishingly fine product with ImgBurn, and you have my sincere gratitude for making it available without purchase (and you can expect a donation soon as well). I really enjoy the witty comments your proggie produces, too. Anyway, thanks for the reply. Having read it, I have one last question: You speak of defect management, and I know just what that is. But how do I deal with this issue? Should I erase the blank re-writable BD-RE disc in some special manner, such as with your program? I think I erased it before hand using Nero 9. And should I use the quick erase (which I've always done) or the full erase in regards to defect management and avoiding slow burns? Or are we talking about a situation in which the burn process encounters a bad sector while actually writing to the disc and then must resort to writing the data to an alternate sector in the spare area? In which case is the fundamental problem is that the media quality isn't as good as it should be? These are labeled Sony and say Ver. 2.1 / 2x. Cuz' I mean, four hours! I chose mostly BD-RE discs because I don't want to have to buy a 50GB BD-R for every BluRay title I have because that would be more expensive in the end than re-using a few BD-RE's... Forgot to add that as far as the over-long burn report from trying to write BluRay folders when I tried direct to disc writing, after reading your reply I tried creating an ISO image instead using Mode 1 and UDF 2.60 and that worked exactly as expected and hoped. The thing is, there are times when I won't want to do a two-step process wherein I'd create an ISO first and then burn it to disc. With that in mind, do you figger' my problem was probably pilot error? I can try it again when I have a spare four hours to kill! Thanks
  13. I'm a brand new user of ImgBurn. I tried following the instructions for burning "BDMV" & "CERTIFICATES" folders from hard disk given here: Burning a Blu-ray Video disc using ImgBurn, but that doesn't quite match up with v2.5.0.0. For example, the instruction guide at that link does not include the "Image Option" of "Data Type", which v2.5.0.0 lists as a choice between "MODE1/2048" and "MODE2/FORM1/2352" for the "UDF" File System. Also, the new version provides a new "UDF Revision" of "2.60". Not knowing which of these settings I should use to write the two BluRay folders in question to a 50GB BD-RE blank disc, I guessed based on the guide linked to above, but the burn failed after ImgBurn reported that the disc wasn't large enough to hold the data in question. The two folders combined add up to 45.2 GB (sorry, I lost the log and I don't want to waste another 4 hours recreating it just for the log). So I figure I guessed wrong on the settings, most probably by choosing "MODE1/2048" rather than "MODE2/FORM1/2352". So: What settings should I use to write those two BluRay folders to a 50GB BD-RE blank disc? What other instructions should I follow? For example, should I choose "UDF Revision" 2.60 or not? And speaking of taking 4 hours, why should that be? The content in question is a bit over 2 hours, and the new Pioneer BDR-205 BluRay burner advertises its BD-RE burn speed as 2x. Shouldn't that mean it should only take 1 hour or so to burn? I have an extremely fast system, and the source folders are not significantly fragmented and they're on directly connected SATA-II hard disk (as opposed to being connected externally). What's wrong with my thinking there? Thanks!
