  1. Just wanted to say my opinions here. Personally, I feel like the software is doing just fine the way it is right now. At least for the methods I use it for, I encounter no bugs whatsoever and the performance is by far superior to any other burning application I have used until I stumbled across ImgBurn. It's light, it's easy to navigate, and it gets the job done which is the most important aspect of it. Heck ImgBurn runs fine on this 20 year old laptop I have going that I use for burning and it handles it quite nicely which I am using right now to type this. We should be thankful that Lightning UK still has a forum going for ImgBurn and is still taking time out of his life to still aid us folks who still need assistance. LUK should continue to spend time with his family and maintain other things that are much more of priority than ImgBurn itself. The software is in a decent state already and I find it hard to tell that the latest version is from 2013 honestly. I am sure LUK will come back to developing once he believes the time is right for himself. It's personally his choice and we have to respect that.

  3. Yeah I agree the old spindles are useful. How did the spindles change, I thought they're all just the same where you slide the disc on the pole in the center of the spindle and keep on stacking them? Ah ok, thanks for that. I have always wondered what that slight difference was. I know one is Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation and the other is Mitsubishi Kagaku Media but I never understood why they are both differently used for different kinds of discs.
  4. Oh yeah that's actually a better deal. I just recently got the CMC Pro CD-Rs and they come in tape wrap so I reused my old spindles so I can easily store them. Very nice feature of spindles. Cool, that's nice. I guess everything that's Verbatim DataLifePlus is considered MCC. I don't think the brand is going anywhere so yeah.
  5. Happy Holidays Everyone! And get well soon, wish you the best of health during this time of year! πŸŽ…πŸ›·πŸ¦ŒπŸŽβ„οΈβ˜ƒοΈ
  6. Ah cool. I am in Spanish 3 right now and you can go all the way up to AP Spanish which I think is the route I am going to take, You could do IB Spanish as well but I feel that's slightly off track from the path I would like to take.
  7. Ah yes, the classic. Ah ok cool, that's actually what I am planning to major in, computer science as well. I am currently taking AP Computer Science Principles and I think the course will help me on my journey. As for a minor, I think I could minor in a language such as Spanish as I am really strong in my Spanish classes too. I love math so a minor in mathematics would also be helpful. Plus, it correlates directly with computer science.
  8. Ha, that's nice. The Christmas season definitely brings back some good memories. I am actually in high school right now in 10th grade as a sophomore. If you don't mind me asking, what did you major in for college?
  9. Alright, thanks for clarifying. The pack should arrive tomorrow if all goes well and I should be able to test them. Tomorrow is the last day of my mid term exams and my winter break will begin so I will have plenty of time to play around with them. I will definitely post back here on the forum with how everything goes so anyone interested in buying CMC Pro Media will gain some information.
  10. I understand now. I have never really had too many firmware updates on drives that fixed things because I couldn't get any updates since most of my drives are quite outdated but they work. And I don't use a variety of discs. Also for the CMC Pro CD-R that I asked about a while ago, did you say they did have a MID of Taiyo Yuden or did they not? I am just asking because I just ordered a 100 pack from B&H PhotoVideo and I just wanted to clarify. I think I remember you saying that they read fine in your PS3 console too and that they burn well in your drives.
  11. Ah ok I understand now. Regardless of the speed, as long as it writes to the discs is the main thing that matters but yes it would be better if it could also write at the rated speed properly. Definitely beats Pioneer. Yeah, nice steal.
  12. Yeah, good luck with Pioneer 🀣 You said MIDs could be faked potentially, is there a possibility that the branded ones were faked and the inkjet ones weren't? And maybe the firmware update fixed the ones that have been faked by using a different write strategy for them?
  13. Ah yes, now I remember. I visited the previous link you had sent before and the prices have skyrocketed back up, I think Amazon had a really good sale for limited time on them.
  14. Yeah I think they've just turned into a company where they're reluctant to acknowledge user based feedback. Has LG responded to your feedback about their drives or are they similar to that of Pioneer? Ah ok. I would definitely want to get one of those and test them out. If I do I will post me results with them here on the forum. Best Buy sells one of these for just ~$30 so no harm in testing it.
  15. Yeah I understand that LG is the best now. From both our experiences, I feel LG's firmware has compatibility with most of the discs. I have an ancient lite-on that is a DVD-RW. It burned Verbatim DatalifePlus CD-R beautifully but now it's not writing to them correctly anymore, maybe I have just exhausted it with all of the writing I did. It also burned my Sony DVD+R pretty good but it really wasn't able to perfect verify graphs anymore like it used to so I don't trust it anymore. So I use my LG GP65NB60 for that or my NS40 and they work fine. Surprisingly, my lite-on also couldn't burn Verbatim DataLifePlus CD-RW since I think the format on those is way different and the dye is more advanced especially for older drives. Those discs will work on all of my other drives just fine. I have to use my 20 year old CD-RWs if I want the lite-on to write to some sort of CD-RW. Then there's my Matshita which is an internal slim drive in my lenovo thinkpad laptop which I believe is most garbage. The drive doesn't write properly to my Sony DVD+Rs and will introduce skips, it will always fail for Verbatim DataLifePlus CD-R at one certain place all the time where the OPC changes so it's not compatible with those discs. However, it writes just fine to Verbatim DataLifePlus CD-RW which I don't get but it works. And an extremely surprising fact is that it writes to the Verbatim Life Series CMC discs just fine but not the Mitsubishi Chemical Corp discs like the Verbatim DataLifePlus CD-R I have mentioned. Very quirky. But every single disc I have used, every single type functions correctly the way it's supposed to on both my LG USB external slim and my NS40. This just goes to show me that LG is reliable for a majority of discs. Yes there are some minor issues like the ones you have pointed out but LG usually gets the job done so yeah.
  16. Well that's great. Also quick recap, when you say the "cheaper" ones, are you referring to the ones that were priced extremely low or the non-printable ones that have colored packing instead of the inkjet printables?
  17. Yeah, I guess Pioneer could do a better job with testing out the firmware before they release it out, or else they would just be creating more problems for themselves and the users of their drives. I guess LG's main option as a choice for BD writing is the NS40, I saw one other LG halfheight from Best Buy that I would like to try. It's not a BD burner and it only burns DVDs and CDs. Ah yeah, I found it on the LG store: LG GH24NSB0 https://www.lg.com/us/burners-drives/lg-gh24nsb0-internal-dvd-drive This drive looks pretty captivating as LG advertises a 24X DVD write, I didn't know that was possible as I thought the only max speed for DVDs is 16X. If my NS40 dies somehow after all of the burning I do on it, I may pick this one up and see how it performs since I would still have my enclosure.
  18. Ah ok, I see what you're saying. I wish drive manufacturers will a bit more responsible behind their products. It's nice that pioneer does something like that. My two LG drives perform great but I am a person who is a bit more involved in the specifics and I like to know some good information. Without all of these specs, it's hard to pinpoint problems so I agree with you. Any other good drive companies that are worth buying? Maybe plextor and/or lite-on for example?
  19. Yeah I thought so because I originally was going to go for an NS60 when I wanted to buy my very first half height drive in an enclosure because I was previously using only slim drives. (They worked fine but I just wanted to try out a half height drive.) Besides the BD-DL issue with the NS40, were there any other problems that the NS40 contained but the NS60 didn't have. The latest firmware available for the NS40 is version 1.05 I believe, do you recall if anything has changed with that concerning burning BD-DL?
  20. Ah ok, that's good now that I know the NS40 will work just fine with those kinds of discs. I haven't really found any discs that don't really work with the NS40 but I guess that's perhaps because I don't use a variety of disc formats.
  21. Are you referring to the inkjet printables that were sold for $25 or the ones with the purple label and it said "AZO" on them? Did you also test those discs on your NS60 or your pioneer drive. I was just wondering because if they work on the NS60, I would hope that would have a good chance of working on the NS40 as well. Also the price of the inkjet printables changed from $25 to now $33.
  22. Oh yeah I remember now. When I was looking at the NS40 to buy it, I was reading up no some reviews on it online and also here at the forum. I recall that you posted some things in the past about it not writing to dual layer BD media. As for me, the NS40 works completely fine since I never really burned BD-R discs before so the primary problem with the drive wouldn't even apply to me. Yeah I agree, with the two LG drives that I have, the NS40 and the NB60, the latter being the USB slim drive, they both work well and read pretty much every disc I have given it.
  23. Ah ok that's great. Whenever you get around to test them, I am sure they will still perform just the same since they are made by MKM so yeah.
