Hmm.... looks alot like a drive problem. Updating or changing your IDE drivers may help. It might not. I'd be getting a new drive if it were mine.

Hmm.... Looks pretty much like the rest IMO. Probably a great tool for a single PC but looks a bit dodgy for scanning multiple drives on a network. It also seems to index the text inside files like emails or whatever. I just want a crappy tool that lists every file with the full path on every drive into a searchable text file. Something that can be run every 24 hours from a scheduler or cron would be nice.

If they make a forth movie I hope they spend more than $20 on it. Blade 2 was passable but Blade 3 sucked.

You could always buy one of these.: http://www.tracertek.com/cdstorage.htm

Why not convert the wmv files to avi? Then you can join the pieces and finally convert the single avi to DVD format and burn with ImgBurn.

Happy birthday, ya old bugger. (I wish I could remember where I've seen this gif before)

What the hell do we use now? <conspiracy mode on> I think the MPAA is influencing vendors to outsource the manufacture of blank media to third world countries so they can make shit. If the media is unusable, logic dictates that piracy will drop. EzyVCD here I come. <conspiracy mode off>

Anyone seen this? http://wesleytech.com/verbatim-outsources-...on-to-india/38/ Wesley Novack on 13 Jan 2007 12:51 pm An industry insider has informed me that Verbatim has started to outsource their Double Layer DVD production to Moser Baer India (MBI). And while a relationship between Verbatim and MBI is nothing new, it is new that Verbatim has decided to finally start outsourcing their difficult-to-manufacturer DVD double layer discs. When double layer recordable discs were first released, there were rumors that indicated Verbatim ran into quality issues when attempting to outsource the production of their premium optical disc product. The first shipments are expected to leave MBI around the end of January, so depending on your market, you might start to see ?Made In India? Verbatim double layer discs near the end of February or beyond. Verbatim will continue to produce double layer discs at its? premiere production facility in Singapore for now and consumers should expect to see a mixed double layer product on shelf, some from India and some from Singapore. The good news for consumers is that the retail pricing of Verbatim double layer discs should decrease once the newly sourced product hits the market. As the price of good quality double layer media continues to drop, the format should grow more and more popular with consumers. Low priced double layer media could mean more trouble for the expensive blue laser disc formats HD DVD and Blu-ray Disc. Additional information suggests that some retail shops got discounts early due to a miscalculation of when the ?new? product would be arriving initially.

Ipswitch WS_FTP Pro. Even on a gumby 100Mbit card it took 9 hours to transfer 20gigs which is crap. Not being able to set the duplex to 100full (or anything else) makes it difficult. Hard to believe these things sold for around 2 grand only 3 years ago. I can see why I was able to pick it up for $80 or whatever it was.

Welcome. The short answer is that your media is garbage. The long answer is *please* use Taiyo Yuden or Verbatim media. The rest is crap.

Post your log and we'll see if we can spot anything.

Snap.

Your media is garbage. Get yourself some Taiyo Yuden or Verbatim media. CMC is the worst of the worst.

Had some problems connecting from Oz. Seems fine now though.....

An ImgBurn logfile would be handy. Without it it's anybody's guess.

Something tasteful would be nice. Something without frogs or mice humping, for example. *cough*

All the tools required to do conversions are available freely at various places on the net. http://www.videohelp.com/ is one of the best. If you buy a crappy $20 DVD player you'll find that they play almost anything. Name brand players are often restricted. Cheap knockoffs aren't. I never liked it. There are better tools around if you look hard enough. BTW, please keep the religious diatribe to a minimum. Not all of us are fundamentalist christians. None here feel the need to shove our views down the throats of the unsuspecting. This forum is for ImgBurn related subject matter and some friendly chat, not a medium for the broadcasting of religious fanaticism.

Bastard. I can't figure this one out. I have a crappy storpoint server that just baffles me. Over http I get around 1800 KB/s on all machines which is about right. Over ftp I get around 300KB/s when connected to a gigabit NIC and around 850 KB/s on a gumby 100Mbit NIC. WTF is that all about? I can't change the duplex settings on the server which really sucks. I'm tempted to throw a crappy 10Mbit NIC in a pc to see if the speed increases. Anyone want to have a crack at a solution or reason?

http://www.enterpriseitplanet.com/security...cle.php/3660921 Symantec: Change Default Passwords, Thwart Drive-by Pharming By Ed Sutherland February 20, 2007 Security vendor Symantec is warning broadband users of a potentially new threat able to reroute Internet traffic to fake Web sites. The hack could rewrite the internal address book of many home users' routers, which, for example, are used for setting up wireless networks. "This attack has serious implications and affects many millions of users worldwide," claimed Zulfikar Ramzan, a Symantec researcher and one of the authors of proof-of-concept code about the vulnerability. The threat, dubbed "Drive-by Pharming," relies on consumers to not change the default password once they set up their router with their broadband connection. Symantec said the practice could leave up to 50 percent of some 80 million broadband homes in the U.S. vulnerable. Ramzan, a senior researcher with Symantec's Security Response group, told internetnews.com the vulnerability would take only one line of JavaScript code and works on every router. "The very infrastructure of the Internet is under threat." The warning comes about two months after Ramzan, along with Indiana University researchers began researching details of the proof-of-concept. Although pharming is old hat, this new version attacks the DNS server settings of all consumer routers, including D-Link, Cisco's Linksys and Netgear. Hackers create a web page including malicious JavaScript code able to log into your router using the device's default password. Unlike previous pharming attempts, no links need be clicked or software downloaded. Victims need only visit a specially-designed Web site. Once inside, hackers could effectively change the router's DNS settings, redirecting your bank's address to an identical site maintained by attackers. "However, you'll never realize that you were at a fake bank since you trusted the address," Ramzan wrote in a blog posting explaining a potential attack. Consumers might think they are at their banking site, but they are actually at www.stealmyidentity.com, Gartner security analyst John Pescatore told internetnews.com. Pescatore said consumer router manufacturers favor ease of use over security. Router makers offer consumers instructions on how to change the default passwords. Linksys, for example, warns consumers to change their passwords. D-Link said it was aware of the threat. "We have redoubled our efforts to educate our customers on the importance of security in general, as well as the importance of changing the wireless router's default SSID and password, and enabling strong encryption," D-Link spokesman George Cravens told internetnews.com. Netgear was not immediately available for comments on the router threat. The lesson for router vendors: "Make security a standard part of the setup wizard, not a step at the end that says 'you should turn security on, and change defaults later, if you dare,'" advised Pescatore.

http://www.pcworld.com/article/id,129205-c...rs/article.html Cisco Says 77 Routers Open to 'Drive-By Pharming' Cisco is warning users that nearly 80 of its routers are vulnerable to a hack tactic. Gregg Keizer, Computerworld Tuesday, February 20, 2007 04:00 PM PST Cisco Systems Inc. is warning users that nearly 80 of its routers are vulnerable to a hack tactic that got play last week. Dubbed "drive-by pharming" by Symantec Corp. and university researchers who first publicized the danger in a paper, the attack involves luring users to malicious sites where a device's default password is used to redirect them to bogus sites. Once they are at those sites, their identities could be stolen or malware could be force-fed to their computers. In an advisory posted Thursday, Cisco listed 77 vulnerable routers in the lines sold to small offices, home offices, branch offices and telecommuters. The advisory recommended that users change the default username and password required to access the router's configuration settings, and disable the device's HTTP server feature. The paper, co-written by a Symantec researcher and two other researchers from Indiana University, urged a similar move by router owners. "Owners of home routers who set a moderately secure password -- one that is non-default and non-trivial to guess -- are immune to router manipulation via JavaScript," the report read. The researchers also argued that router makers should stop using blank or easy-to-guess passwords, such as "admin," and switch to the device's serial number. "This value, which is unique to each individual router, would comprise a very secure and unpredictable password," the report stated.

A PTP source disk won't affect the burn. (Gran Turismo 4 was PTP and burned fine using OTP. It wasn't a bad burn but it just wouldn't work. Big difference). So there.

Seems pretty obvious. Your media is garbage. Get some Verbatims or Taiyo Yuden.

Perhaps if we started recommending CMC media we'd be able to score some freebies. At $10 a truckload I could use them as mulch.
