hi guys. thanks for the replies. i really really appreciate it. and thanks for answering my questions. i understand better now. @Shamus i never heard of Secunia until you mentioned it. i didn't know i was using it. i looked it up in google and i was still wasn't sure if i was using it actually cause i don't use Internet Explorer (I use Firefox) and i simply don't remember it popping up in my usage of this computer. i assume it's also used in windows 7. i know this isn't the place to thoroughly discuss this software but i was wondering tho should i disable Secunia while using imgburn? and if so how can i go about doing so? i've started using 2x dual layer blu-rays again. i seem to recall having less problems with those in the past. that's slow enough speed to take care of major errors right?

hi can ianymaty or anyone else who can help me with these remaining questions i have? regarding these two error messages i keep getting before i updated the firmware. (not sure if i will get them again cause i don't have any iso's to burn right now) Waiting for buffers to recover... (LBA: 19689920) Waiting for hard disk activity to reach threshold level... do you think it was the firmware on my blu-ray drive that made me get these two memo's originally? now i have the latest - 1.00-A9. i've seen people get those two messages multiple times. sometimes several times. should i worry if that happens to me? finally should i keep the buffer size to 256 in the preferences? please, i need answers to these questions. it would help me tremendously. thanks in advance !

hi oh ok. i checked the drivers page you listed and the only driver that was newer than what i installed which was the default checked was a internet connection related driver. it's installed now. so i don't know what driver(s) that could be casing that buffer recover message. do you think it was the firmware on my blu-ray drive? cause i updated and now i have the latest - 1.00-A9. i don't have any ISO's to burn right now but soon as i do i will check. also, if there's more than 2 times the message: Waiting for buffers to recover... (LBA: 19689920) Waiting for hard disk activity to reach threshold level... appears, should i worry then? i only had that happen to me like once and that happened ages ago. and should i keep the buffer size to 256 in the preferences? thanks so much for your help so far. i'm learning a lot.

hi thanks for the fast reply. can you tell me what the warning is exactly if it's not an error? just wondering. also should i keep the buffer size to 256 in the preferences? i checked the firmware page and it said the latest is 1.00-A9 (August 30, 2010). i couldn't what you were talking about in your 3rd sentence. can you be more specific as to where to find that. also i did the 2nd site you mentioned and it said i have 1.00 firmware for my 50gb blu-ray drive. i guess that's not the same as the firmware that was on the firmware page. i wanna be sure i need to download thata firmware beforehand in case of possible errors if i do upgrade. let me know. thanks.

Hi I have a HL-DT-ST BD-RE WH10LS30 ATA Device for my blu-ray drive. i have another drive for blu-ray burning but it is for 25 gb burning. i never use it anymore cause i do mostly 50 gb burning on blu-rays mostly nowadays. in case you wanna know that drive is LITE-ON BD B LH-2B1S ATA Device. anyway whenever i burn a blu-ray dual layer from a iso i made i keep getting almost ever yime 2 messages that says Waiting for buffers to recover... (LBA: 19689920) Waiting for hard disk activity to reach threshold level... it happens at least twice a burn. most of the time it's just twice. i have read about this on this forum. i tried some of the suggestions to solve it. like closing down any programs that don't need to be run while imgburn is running and even setting the buffer size to 256mb. this is my computer specs Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1 AMD Phenom 9750 Quad-Core Processor 2.40 GHz 8.00 GB RAM (7.75 GB usable) 64-BIt Operating System can someone verify if these errors cause video playback problems like freezing for example? i have had some burnt blue ray dl's that freeze on my PS3 and then either stop playback or skip ahead. this is totally unacceptable to me. i thought these errors were due to the error i mention i get above. can someone tell me what i am doing wrong. i checked firmware for my blu-ray drive and i couldn't tell whether i needed it or not. i know that sounds dopey but i just wasn't sure. i hope someone can help me solve this problem cause these blu-ray dual layer's by Verbatim i buy (Straight from a Japanese source cause they're cheaper than Amazon's prices) are not cheap. and i already got two coasters since getting my latest batch the other day. i am attaching my log file for the burned iso i did this morning. thanks in advance people .
