Movie Junkie

Don't think we're telling you to use Verbatim DVD+R DL discs just to be talking. I am sure many of us have experienced problems with junk media. We have all found out, through testing and use, that the Verbs are the only way to go.

I still say that this should be done on a chess site.

Hello Revup. Glad to have you in our forum. The error you got means that a sector on the disc could not be read when the disc was being verified. That usually happens when you use poor quality media. It would help us determine what the problem was if you could please post the entire log.

Hi Hema. Glad to have you here at the ImgBurn Forum. ImgBurn is a burning application. It will not copy protected discs like DVDD did.

Shame on you...

Welcome to the ImgBurn Forum jillmar8. It doesn't matter if you've been successful with the discs you are using. They are crap media. You need to use either Verbatim or TY discs for your single-layer burning and ONLY Verbatim DVD+R DL discs for your dual-layer burning. Buy some of either of the two brands and see what happens. If you are still having problems we'll try to help you out. It appears that you have the latest firmware for your drive but you should check on Dell's web site to be sure.

I don't understand what you are saying. Please explain it.

If you haven't deleted the ISO files you can still use ImgBurn to verify the disc you burned against the ISO.

I would think that DD would be a good place if they would allow it. If, however, I may make a suggestion; I was playing chess online some years ago, and from what I remember there were a number chess sites where you could participate in any number of games at the same time. I gave it up because it was consuming too much of my time (plus it was no fun in winning EVERY game). There was at least one site that I remember being on which paired you with others who played at the same level. I wish I could remember the sites but I am sure a Google search would find them.

This board needs to change it's name. Instead of being called the ImgBurn Support Forum it should be called the Chess Forum.

Just because you burned "zillions" of discs and didn't have any problems doesn't mean that a year from now (or even possibly an week from now) those discs will still be readable. Cheap quality discs are not worth it, no matter what! Your drive is very old and you might want to get a new one. It appears, from what I have read that it came with a Dell computer and the last firmware update for it was back in June 2005. This update was from Dell and is the firmware version you have. The last Phillips update was back in 2004. If you do decide to get a new drive you should still use only Verrbatims for your dual-layer discs (Use on +R, not -R) and stick with Verbatim or TY's for your single-layer discs.

yeah im sure nero got them all..a few seasons i burned plays fine no freezes or anything and they have 25 episodes on them..some work some don't. thanks for the fast reply! Brett; are all 25 episodes on one dual-layer disc? yup all 25 they all look decent too...i just tried it again but i check seamless this time and played the episode 13 but it was very choppy and eventually froze I find that very interesting because before I posted the question to you I checked on several DVD sites and I found out that each of the first 8 seasons are available, but each season comes on 3 dual-layer DVDs. I could be wrong but it appears to me that you don't have the original discs and you possibly downloaded the files or got them from someone who downloaded them.

Welcome to ImgBurn 18et. While you should always try to have the latest firmware it's just as important to use the best media available. You should use NOTHING other than Verbatim and Taiyo Yuden discs for your single-layer media. When you get into dual-layer media you should use NOTHING other than Verbatim and even with Verbatim use only the + not the - media.

Hello burf. Welcome to the ImgBurn forum. Your problem could be happening for a number of different reasons. Please post a log of one of the burns.

Thanks Spinner.

The ONLY DVD-R discs you should be using is either Verbatim or TY. The ONLY Dual-Layer discs you should be using are Verbatim DVD+R DL (not the -R DL). If you want trouble-free burns and good quality don't use anything else. As far as your discs not working on some "machines"; that could be a compatibility issue. Please post back and tell me the make and model number of the problem "machines".

McAfee recently announced the availability of a new, free tool, Rootkit Detective, that the company claims has the most comprehensive rootkit detection capabilities available today. "We have achieved extremely high levels of accuracy, using various techniques to find anything that hides itself on a computer," says Ahmed Sallam, lead research architect at McAfee. The company says that the tool reveals hidden processes, Registry entries, and files, and scans kernel memory to detect modifications. The tool then lets users remove or disable detected malware. The tool can also collect samples and allows users to submit them to McAfee's Avert Labs for analysis. Rootkit Detective, as described on McAfee's download page, runs on Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003. But be aware that the tool isn't for the novice. Mistakes in a removal process could easily crash your system. Be extremely careful if you use it.

Welcome to the ImgBurn forum Nick; If you are familiar with building an ISO with ImgBurn all you have to do is add whatever other files you want to be on the disc the same way you add your video files. When ImgBurn builds the ISO and then burns it to a disc the additional files will be on it. If you are not sure you are doing it correctly burn the ISO onto a DVD RW disc. That way if it doesn't turn out the way you wanted you will not have wasted a disc.

Ummm - we do not support pirating of DVDs. Regards Actually was not a pirated DVD thank you very much. Is fan video footage of a concert. Allan Allen, from my understanding it is not legal for fans to record a concert, just as it is not legal for people who go to a movie theater to make a copy of the movie. Even if, in your case, it was legal, we cannot take the chance discussing it since there really is no way for use to know. I am fairly sure if you do a search, you will find someplace that will help you.

BGS4 is not standard Lite-on firmware. I have done some searching for you and it seems that you can download and use a patched version of the BSOY firmware. Download it here. Go about half way down the page and look for BS0Y - patched - crossflashing, multi-colored LED (for 1213S, 1613S, etc.). Please realize that I have not used this firmware personally but I read at two sites that it supposedly works with your drive. You have to make the decision for yourself if you want to try it out. Good luck

I also burn my dual layer media at 2.4x. It will take a lot longer but you are sure to get a better burn.

For my single layer discs I have used only Verbatim DVD-R discs and I've only made two coasters (both times my fault) in well over 1000 burns. With dual layer discs I use only Verbatim DVD+R DL discs and I have never made a coaster. With +R media you can do bit setting (depending on your burner) which may make your DVD more compatible with some DVD players but I have never had any compatibility problems with my -R burns. I have never bit set a dual layer disc and have never had a compatibility problem with them either. With the single layer discs my feeling is that it's your call as long as you use quality media. You should stay with either Verbatim or TY's. With dual layer discs use ONLY Verbatim DVD+ discs.

:thumbup:

I can't believe this actually worked!. I got new Verbatim discs and I don't have errors anymore. Thanks for the help! Stephen I'm glad to read that the Verbs took care of the problem. You'd be astounded at the number of people who don't believe that switching to those discs will help them. Your post is additional proof that we know (at least sometimes ) what we're talking about. One more thing you should know. Make sure you use +R DL and not -R DL discs.
