Indeed, they are all CMCMAG-DI6-000. I checked the last several I burned as well as the two disks that failed to burn. I just tried burning the main movie instead of the full disk. Worked perfectly. Tried again to burn the full disk, no go. What in the world? It's not the disks, it's not the drive, it's not the system. What can it be? Full disk was 48gb, main movie was 32gb. Does the size of the file make a difference?

How can you tell the MID/dye number? Where is it? There are numbers around the center of the disk but they don't resemble "CMCMAG-DI6-000" or anything like it. DVD-R disks play and burn just fine. The BD-R DL disks have worked fine until this incident.

Regarding the disks, I assume "CMCMAG-DI6-000" refers to the Philips DL disks. These are the only DL disks I've ever used. The only thing different is that these are from a new, recently purchased lot. Following your direction, here is the log window: I 16:00:48 ImgBurn Version 2.5.7.0 started!

Not sure what that means. There has been no issue in processing commands before - why now?

Ha! It does scroll! Complete log follows below. The status bar says "Reserving Track." I left it alone for an hour before giving up - status bar never changed.

Have used ImgBurn for years without problem until today. Burning a back-up copy of a new Blu-Ray disk, but ImgBurn locks up my computer before the burn starts. I have a Pioneer BDR-205 drive that has functioned flawlessly for me. I am using Philips BD-RDL 50gb 6x dual-layer disks that I have also used before without problem. Thinking I might have encountered a bad disk, I tried a second one - same problem. Here's my log: I 20:06:17 Destination Device: [0:0:0] PIONEER BD-RW BDR-205 1.12 (E:) (SATA) I 20:06:17 Destination Media Type: BD-R (Disc ID: CMCMAG-DI6-000) I 20:06:17 Destination Media Supported Write Speeds: 2x, 4x, 6x, 8x I 20:06:17 Destination Media Sectors: 24,438,784 I 20:06:17 Write Mode: BD I 20:06:17 Write Type: DAO I 20:06:17 Write Speed: MAX I 20:06:17 Hardware Defect Management Active: No I 20:06:17 BD-R Verify Not Required: Yes I 20:06:17 Link Size: Auto I 20:06:17 Lock Volume: Yes I 20:06:17 Test Mode: No I 20:06:17 OPC: No I 20:06:17 BURN-Proof: Enabled I 20:06:17 Write Speed Successfully Set! - Effective: 35,960 KB/s (8x) I 20:06:17 Advanced Settings - Optimal Writing Speed: No So what gives?

I'm an aviation historian. I recently received a CD from a retired Air Force pilot with a copy of a radio transmission during a combat mission in the Vietnam War. There were three audio tracks on the CD. When I played the CD, however, there was no radio transmission, only pretty awful music. When I looked at the CD, there were three .cda files listed. A .cda file, of course, is nothing but an index marker on the CD and contains no actual data. In talking to the pilot, he simply did a "drag-and-drop" copy of the CD he had which did not copy the actual audio transmissions. I would like him to copy the disk again using ImgBurn so as to copy the entire disk, including the actual audio content, not just the .cda files. How do I tell him what to do?
