I am willing to supply LIGHTNING UK with a duplicator, a little older Primera Composer, but would rather have the ImgBurn community really take a look at what it could do to start a fund drive to help out. I am the admin/developer/website creator of a site call BurnBots (http://burnbots.sourceforge.net/), which is exactly what this would be, except for the burning program of course. Adding support for duplicators has been a project of mine for several years into a program that is worth adding it into. ImgBurn is probably the best solution out there today( +queue function, +cd/dvd image types supported) , that I think already has a headstart with the queue function routine built in. Though burnbots is based on a commercial app, the robot function for that app only became developer available in the past year. I have struggled in having the time to dedicate in creating the DLL's that I speak of, but I think Lightning UK could add support for a robot function, along with printing of course, in a short period of time. Besides Lightning, and Beta testers et al, are there others that are interested in seeing this implemented? Please let me know, as I am willing to assist in getting him resources to get this development effort under way.

I have a very similar issue. Several times I have tried to record to different drives via 1394, only to get into a state where the DVD recorder is just sitting there. I have made several coasters with SPTI. I decided to try a different DVD recorder, from a DVR-105, to a BTC 1108IM, connected via oxford 911 IDE to Firewire Bridgeboard, connected to 1394 port on my Asus P5AD2-E Premium Motherboard, using the Unibrains 3.2 Firewire driver 3.2. Then I tried with the Patin - Couffin I/O interface, with a little better success, meaning, it doesn't fail right away, but tries about 5 times... and voila, nothing. Here is my log that I have.
