  1. I don't think it has something to do with the issue I described. Do you?

     

    Not at all. I'm merely curious. Many of us (myself included) have been learning from Lightning_UK for a long time. Around 7 years for me, I think. I've found that it's best to have the latest of everything just incase any problem encountered has already been fixed by an update or upgrade.

  2. I dunno. Call me impatient but if that was my drive, I wouldn't be bothered screwing around with it any longer. If they were still $600 I'd be worried but not when they're as cheap as they are these days. A cleaning kit will cost half of what you can buy a new drive for. I'd just replace it. If the new drive fails, you've wasted a few dollars and have more serious hardware issues to worry about. If it works, great. Problem solved etc..

     

    Just my 2c.

  3. Please don't hijack threads. If you need help, you're better off starting your own.

     

     

    1987? I don't remember seeing any mp3s floating about 22 years ago so it's doubtful your player would recognise them. You'll need to convert them to wav files and burn them or do it the easy way and use Burrrn which can be found here:

  4. I just bought a LG GH22NP20 internal burner. Using Memorex double layer disc (Ritek)

     

    Just so you know, Ritek are garbage. Do yourself a huge favour and get Verbatim +R/DL instead.

     

    and the newest version of image burn, when I set the burn speed to 2.4 it automatically goes to 4.0.

     

    ImgBurn has no control over the burn speed if the selected speed isn't supported by your media AND your drive. Throw a blank into your drive and select WRITE MODE from the menu. The window on the right hand side will show you the supported speeds of your media. Also, there's really no need to set the speed so slow these days.

     

    So far I have only had one successful burn at that speed. I've been using memorex for years with a low failure rate.Could it be the new burner is not capable of 2.4 speeds?

     

    A combination of media and drive. Try what I suggested above and you'll see.

     

    My second issue is I couldn't find "auto" under burn speeds in the new version of Image Burn. I always use that function when burning single layer disc.

     

    Auto is now AWS - Automatic Write Speed.

     

    One more......In device manger listing my new DVD under properties, I notice it wasn't set to any region. I set it to region 1.Was that a mistake?

     

    A mistake? It won't affect the burn but you should set the drive to the region in which you live. Region 1 is the USA. If you need more help, ask. We're always here.

  5. As Lightspeed =)) has said above, you don't need to rename anything. ImgBurn will truncate the files automatically when using ISO9660 only. If this doesn't fix the problem then I don't know what will.

  6. You might want to restrict ImgBurn to ISO9660 only. Alot of players only recognize files in the old 8.3 format. (8 letters followed by the .mp3 extension such as rtrm01.mp3 or mysong.mp3 or somesong.mp3 or whatever)

  7. I 22:38:19 Destination Device: [2:0:0] PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-216D 1.09 (I:) (Fibre)

     

    I gotta be honest. I've never seen this before.

     

    is it posible to dual boot vista and linux?

     

    It sure is. I wouldn't recommend it if you're not sure what you're doing though. If you grab the latest version of Ubuntu, you can install it like any other program which might be an idea. The biggest problem you're going to have is actually burning the thing.... which is why you're here in the first place. If you do manage to burn a copy of Ubuntu, just boot from it. If you want something more, load windows and toss the Ubuntu CD into the drive and install it like a regular application. If you do it these two ways rather than a dual-boot system, Ubuntu won't overwrite the Master Boot Record (MBR) of your harddisk, which (again) is a good thing if you don't know what you're doing.

  8. And you'd be an idiot. Your original question was answered.

    No response from you, however. Also, the programs used to burn any disk (ImgBurn, Nero, DiscJuggler, BlindWrite) don't have a fucking thing to do with your problem. If you had posted a log of some sort, we might have been able to help further. Had you queried those who did respond, we could have helped you further. Your unwillingness to spend a little time helping us to help you solve your problem pretty much pidgeonholes you nicely.

     

    If you start with shit, you'll end up with shit. Don't let the door hit you on your way out.

  9. I guess purchasing the software at full price constitutes a donation does it not ?

     

    It does not. You've given money to a parasite. Nobody cares if you use the program without throwing a few dollars at the author. However, we do care when that leech gets your money for selling something they don't own and don't support - which is why you ended up here looking for help. ImgBurn might be freeware but it's also copyrighted. Your apparent apathy only encourages this vermin to continue selling something they don't own.
