Hmm... a quick look at the thread doesn't impress me that much. Some of those claiming to burn at 18x actually burned at 4x, 8x or 12x. Not what I'd call exciting. Particularly when the maximum speed was attained near the outer edge of the disk, just like we said it does. Physics is a cruel mistress.
-
course you could always be wrong.
LOL! It wouldn't be the first time.
Which would make me wrong too...Which would give us something in common.

Alrighty, next question. Have you tried playing this disk using Media Player Classic? I'm starting to suspect that your files are knackered.
Download MPC from here: http://www.free-codecs.com/download/Media_Player_Classic.htm

I've always known how it works, or doesn't work so well, but that is probably the best explanation I've seen Shamus.
I just hope I'm right.

Alrighty. We can eliminate what it's not.
It's not that ImgBurn isn't picking up the files. (Pretty obvious from the size of your file but it never hurts to ask).
It's not a booktype error as you're using -R media.
It shouldn't be the media. "TTG01" are reported as "grade A" which is as good as it gets. (Although a verify would be nice to confirm this).
It's not your drives' firmware as it's up-to-date.
What I'm curious about though is does this disk play properly in your PC using DVD player software?
-
Hmm... Just out of curiosity, select build mode and then the options tab and make sure you have recursive directories enabled.
-
270,000 files? Bloody hell! They must be tiny. What's that? 35k each or something for a DL disk? LOL!
-
All your logs (by default) have been saved. Just check under the Help menu > ImgBurn logs. It'll help us find out what the problem is.
-
Can you do us a favour and post your log? We'll be able to see what the hell is going on. At the moment it's anybodys' guess.

So would I but I've still got a hundred Verbatim MKM-001's to get rid of before that happens.

Hi all
i have been using imgburn for some time now with great success, i now want to use it in a computer that has 2 drives (may add more soon) is it possible using imgburn to burn to more than 1 drive at the same? if so how do i do it? and will it reduce my burn success rate?
Thanks for any help

Burning to multiple drives at the same time can be done but you pay a price for doing so. Just open multiple copies of ImgBurn and turn off the "Lock drive" option. Just remember that when burning to multiple drives, the source data for both destination drives still has to travel across the same data path, effectively creating a bottleneck which will slow down the data available to your burners. For example, if you can burn at 12x to a single drive, you'll find that you'll only get 4x or 5x (if you're lucky) to 2 drives as the data is alternately being sent across the bus in different directions - and the data bus itself can only handle a limited amount of traffic and can only go so fast. Adding more drives will make it proportionately slower again. In this case, the more you ask of your PC, the less you'll get from it.

My 2c:- 16x/18x is the maximum speed attained at the outside track under lab conditions. i.e. Perfect conditions. That means perfect media, perfect drive, perfect hardware connections, top-of-the-line PC with no "baggage" running in the background to slow things down etc.. etc..

Hi, I'm making a few backups of my games and need a little help. How do you mount RAR/ZIP files that have split the game into parts onto an image? Do they have to be in a certain order, can I choose the folder with the RAR files in them or do I have to choose them seperately? Thanks.
I'm wondering how you've managed to create a backup containing multiple .rar files and not know what to do with them.
-
I compared our settings but they are all the same. Strange...
Well, I'm buggered if I know. If your settings haven't been altered and your settings look the same as mine, logically, your logs should be saved - even if all you do is load and then quit ImgBurn. Uninstall and re-install to see if that fixes it.
-
I was looking at that too, but I was too lazy to actually google it.
That's why I like Mozilla/Firefox. It's got one of those double-click to highlight and right-click to search Google thingies installed.

I 19:54:35 Destination Media Type: DVD+R (Disc ID: RITEK-R03-02) (Speeds: 4x, 6x, 8x)
Get rid of these to start with as Ritek is horrible media and the cause of many problems. Verbatim or Taiyo Yuden is the way to go.

If they want to go dumpster diving for old harddrives, CD-ROMs, video cards, network cards, monitors and various other bits of unwanted crap, they're welcome to it. I drill a hole in old harddrives before they go into the bin.

That's odd. By default ImgBurn saves all logs. Jump into the settings and see if yours are being saved. Here's what mine looks like:

Holding up a bottle of bleach no doubt.
Dunno. It's around here somewhere. I think it's almost time to get another skip bin and toss out some of the computer stuff that just seems to accumulate. I filled a 6 cubic metre skip with computer crap last time I did a clean up.
-
I've got a newish Lite-On around here somewhere. In a cupboard, I think - where it'll be the most useful.

Yeah, just like The Osbournes.
*cough*

I wish Pioneer would get their act together. My crappy 105 is still the best drive I've ever had. Never a hiccup or complaint. Unlike the Pioneer, LG and Samsung drives I've bought recently.

Before you leave this forum for the boundless eternity that is the internet, it may be worth checking to see if your players will actually play region-free DVDs or that the files you are trying to play on those players are actually compatible with your player. Users in the USA have great difficulty playing DVDs that are encoded in PAL as most of their machines are NTSC only - making the disk unplayable. Also, many expensive players refuse to play DVDs that have been stripped of their region code. A $20 Chinese player from the bargain bin will play damned near anything. Let us know how you get on.
