Try burning at 4x or 6x, and if it doesn't work then read this -> http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=8000

Try burning at 4x, 6x or 8x to see if you get a better burn. You might also want to try a lens cleaning disc on that burner. If all that doesn't help then read this -> http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=8000

Check your external drive for fragmentation and defragment it if needed. Also, in order to prevent buffer underruns, avoid using it while burning

What's the source drive for those files? Is it an internal or external HD or network drive? It also looks like your burner is in PIO mode (look in the FAQ thread).

No one said you shouldn't incentive new features, but you should understand that if the wanted feature isn't something that the vast majority of the users want then LUK is less than likely to add it to his program. As for donations and freeware programs, it's customary to donate when you want to congratulate the author(s) for a good work, not to get a feature added

Technically, dual-layer burning is a lot more difficult than single-layer burning, and that's why media quality plays such an important part in the process.

Also try burning at 4x.

Look for updated drivers for your motherboard's chipset and/or IDE/SATA controller(s). Use SIW to identify them if you're in doubt.

If 4x doesn't work, clean the burner's lens with a cotton bud and some alcohol or with one of those lens cleaning disc kits. Also, while you're at it, install service pack 2 for vista, or enable windows update and it'll be done automatically.

The .bin/.cue pair is a disc image just like ISO, and as such, you burn them in Write mode. When you load the first image it should say if it's bootable or not in the File System field.

Well then pretty much all you can do is clean the disc, clean the drive or buy the game

Try reading those discs with other drives and you might be able to copy them.

Please read this topic (#3 applies to your case).

Check if your computer has USB 2.0 ports. You can use SIW to find out (look in Hardware -> Ports -> USB). If it does then you should check why your external HD isn't using USB 2.0 (old external enclosure/adapter or a bad/incompatible cable are common causes).

With ImgBurn in Read mode and that disc in the drive, please copy and paste here all the Information text shown by ImgBurn. As for the Ner0-created disc image, ImgBurn only supports the most basic type of Ner0 images, since Ner0's developers, in all their "wisdom", decided not to publish their image standard.

It could be due to a lot of things, so post the whole log from that burn session (look in ImgBurn's Help menu).

If you want to keep the original video quality then use dual-layer media. If you don't mind losing video quality in order to make it fit a single-layer 4.7GB disc then use DVD Shrink or similar program.

AWS defaults to MAX speed (8x in your case) if you haven't configured it

That could be why it's doing that. How did you disable it?

Where are those source files/folders located? The internal laptop HDD or an external/network drive? It's too slow for burning a DVD and the many relinks the burner has to do are compromising the burn quality up to a point that it fails to burn entirely. Also update your burner's firmware to DW10 (remove any disc and close the tray before updating then reboot after it's finished).

Get an 80-wire IDE cable (they're dirty cheap) just to make sure this won't happen again in the future

Thankfully you only have to format it just once: after that you can simply overwrite the data

Maybe his batch of memorex blanks are slightly less crappy than yours? In fact, that's exactly the problem with non-Verbatim dual-layer media: its quality is anyone's guess. Verbatim is the only one that keeps a high quality standard for their blanks, and that's why they work when others don't. Even if it did burn OK it wouldn't work since the layerbreak is wrong. Use the Create DVD File feature from ImgBurn's Tools menu, add that ISO to the list, set the layerbreak to 1913760 and save the .dvd file in the same place as the .iso image.

Try the new Memorex burner connected as master at the end of a good 80-wire IDE cable. Also look for the latest drivers for your motherboard's chipset and/or IDE controller(s) (use SIW to find their brand and model if you don't know them already). As for the console modification, that's out of the scope of this forum and we can't help you with that

Get the 2.4x Verbatim DVD+R DL blanks if you can, you'll have a better chance with them. If you can find only the 8x Verbatim DVD+R DL blanks then try burning them at higher speeds (usually results in a better burn quality).
