Actually, the latest firmware available for your burner is SB02, which you can download here. Remove any disc from the drive and close the tray before applying the update. Reboot after it has finished. Try burning at 8x or 12x on those discs and it might work. If it doesn't, get Verbatim or Taiyo Yuden media, as both manufacture high quality blanks. By the way, you should leave Verify enabled, as that ensures the disc was properly burnt

Could you post the whole log of that burn + verify?

I guess it's that windows quirk where it doesn't refresh the disc's name in some ocasions. You haven't disabled AutoRun, right?

BSOD'ing sounds like a driver problem. Make sure you're using the latest storage drivers available for your chipset (look in the chipset manufacturer's site as the motherboard's site usually is outdated). If you have NVIDIA chipset, remove the storage drivers and let Windows use the default ones (it does this automatically). How are your SATA ports configured in the BIOS? IDE ( ), AHCI ( ) or RAID ( :& )?

Do what this post says all the way through (deleting controllers, etc) and see if it solves the problem.

There's a newer firmware SB02 available for your burner. Remove any disc from the drive and close the tray before applying the update. Reboot after it has finished. The discs you're using are rated for up to 8x burning speed, so you might get a better burn at 6x or 8x. The best Verbatim DVD+R DL blanks still are the 2.4x rated MKM-001-00 Made in Singapore ones. By the way, if you burn your Xbox 360 backups from the .dvd file you don't need to manually set the layerbreak to 1,913,760 as the .dvd file will tell ImgBurn where to place it

If it's important enough to keep the original quality, save yourself some headache and buy Verbatim DVD+R DL 2.4x (Media ID: MKM-001-00) Made in Singapore blanks, as they give best quality burns on most burners

I would guess they were made for burning onto dual-layer media, which supports up to 8.5GB (7.96GiB) of data, while a common single-layer disc holds 4.7GB (4.38GiB). Please look in the Guides section for directions on how to burn them

Support for the NRG format in ImgBurn is quite limited since the developers of the NRG format, in all their wisdom, decided to not publish the format's specifications The only program that can reliably burn any type of NRG image is the very program that created it :&

With ImgBurn closed and with no disc in the drive, open "My Computer" from your Windows, insert the disc and wait for a while. Does the drive's label change to the disc's label when the disc is recognized?

Nope, those specs are very common in movie DVDs. Search for your DVD player's brand and model in this list and check if it can play PAL discs, as it could be the issue here.

Does it show any error message or simply refuses to play/freezes?

Try another SATA cable then, or you think we memorize every burner model ever made and if they're IDE/PATA/SATA? This error may also be caused by old drivers so make sure you're using the latest storage drivers available for your motherboard. Look on both the motherboard's manufacturer website and also on the chipset/controller manufacturer website

Go to DVD Flick's settings and untick the options generate ISO image and burn to disc using burner (can't remember their exact names ). Make your project as usual and DVD Flick will create a VIDEO_TS folder on the destination folder you've chosen. Download and install the latest ImgBurn and, if the installer asks you if you want to keep your ImgBurn settings, answer No (the default settings will be applied and they work best for most cases). After doing this, please follow this guide to burn the VIDEO_TS folder generated by DVD Flick

I'm sorry but this problem isn't related to ImgBurn, hence we can't help you

The option you're looking for is in Tools -> Settings -> Events tab -> Check for Program Update option. But please do install the latest ImgBurn because, even though it "looks" like the same, it has a lot of corrections and new features

That disc has already been burnt with a very small amount of data, so you'll need to try with another blank disc. By the way, there's a newer firmware (1.02) available for your burner at http://au.lgservice.com/ in Device Driver -> DVD-ROM(Writer) -> page 5. Remove any disc from the burner and close the tray before applying this newer firmware. Reboot the computer after it has finished. In case you're wondering, having the latest firmware ensures best quality burns

Try reading that disc with other DVD drives and you might be able to make a perfect copy from it. By the way, the only reliable dual-layer media we use and recommend is Verbatim DVD+R DL 2.4x (MKM-001-00) Made in Singapore blanks

With ImgBurn in Write mode, please copy all the text shown in the Information pane and paste here so we can have a look at it

If the Write button isn't clickable then either the drive thinks the inserted disc isn't empty or it simply couldn't initalise/doesn't support that disc. If you switch to Write mode (through the Mode menu), what's shown on the Information pane on the right of ImgBurn's window? If there's no text there, what does ImgBurn say in the status bar (Medium Not Present - some reason)?

ImgBurn cycles the tray before the Verify process in order to see if the drive can properly initialise the burnt disc (this is yet another step towards a most accurate Verify process). If you want to disable this tray cycling, go to Tools -> Settings -> Write tab and untick 'Cycle Tray Before Verify'. As for ejecting at the end of the burn process, this option can be set at Tools -> Settings -> Device tab

Please post the log from one of the burns (you can find it at Help -> ImgBurn Logs).

Follow this post from the FAQ entirely (i.e. remove storage controllers/etc) and it should go back to normal speeds

UDF 1.50 would only be useful if you were using a rewritable disc as a "big floppy disk" and the proper program for managing this. ImgBurn includes support for creating UDF discs with revisions higher than 1.02 for specific uses, e.g. BluRay/AVCHD/HD-DVD discs need to use UDF 2.50 in order to be compatible with their respective standalone players

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Disk_Format UDF 1.02 is the oldest and, by far, the most compatible of the UDF revisions Also have a look at ISO9660 and Joliet while you're at it
