My guess is that ImgBurn doesn't ask you because your ISO image is larger than 2086912 sectors, which is the size of the first layer of a DVD+R DL disc. If you ISO image is larger than that number of sectors (ImgBurn tells you the number of sectors when you load an ISO image) then both layer need to be used in order to burn it.

Burn at 8x or 12x with a brand new blank disc. If it doesn't work then use a lens cleaning disc on that burner. If it still doesn't work then try with Verbatim or Taiyo Yuden blanks. Did you change anything in that log? The burner's name doesn't look right

Post the log from when you've copied the disc (look in ImgBurn's Help menu).

You've already asked this before and didn't read the replies... if you do see this one then read this thread -> http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=11238

Update ImgBurn and read the pink banner at the top of this page.

If you want to burn them as they are then use Build mode ("Write files/folders to disc"). If you want to burn a DVD that's playable on any DVD player then you'll first need to convert them using DVD Flick, ConvertXtoDVD or similar programs.

The only thing that Ner0 may be doing that ImgBurn doesn't by default is using the Incremental write type. There's an option for using it in ImgBurn's settings. And yes, ImgBurn is fully compatible with Windows 7: I've been using Windows 7 since before RC1 and ImgBurn never had any problems with it. Also please do what I said above about looking for updated drivers, as the ones you're using are messing with the communication to the burner (e.g. the No Additional Sense error you've had before).

It's in ImgBurn's Help menu -> About...

The only dual-layer media we recommend is Verbatim, and even though they're more expensive than other brands, you'll save money in the end by not making a lot of coasters. Anyway, if you feel like testing dual-layer media, these are the dual-layer media IDs that your burner supports: Media Code Speed Edit V 1.2.0.5 ------------------------------------------ Firmware: TSSTcorpCD/DVDW SH-S162LTS08 0222 MULT Bootcode: TSSTcorpCD/DVDW SH-S162LBOOT ------------------------------------------ Overall supported media types: 363 ------------------------------------------ DVD+R9 supported media types: 11 DVD+R supported media types: 123 DVD+RW supported media types: 33 DVD-R9 supported media types: 3 DVD-R supported media types: 141 DVD-RW supported media types: 33 DVD-RAM supported media types: 19 ------------------------------------------ DVD+R9 supported media types: 11 ------------------------------------------ CMC MAG D01 2.4x INFOME D01 2.4x MKM 001 2.4x MKM 003 8x,6x,4x PHILIPS CD2 2.4x PHILIPS PD2 2.4x PRODISC D01 2.4x RICOHJPN D00 2.4x RICOHJPN D01 8x,6x,4x,2.4x RITEK D01 2.4x RITEK S04 6x,4x,2.4x MKM-001-00 and MKM-003-00 are Verbatim 2.4x and 8x rated (respectively) DVD+R DL blanks. If you buy DVD+R DL blanks from "big" brands (e.g. Sony/Maxell/Samsung/etc) you'll probably get RITEK-S04 dye, which your burner does support.

The very first time you use a BD-RE disc you must do a Full Erase on it, and even though it takes a long time, you only need to do it once: after that you can just overwrite the disc. Unfortunately you can't skip this very first formatting (it's a limitation imposed by the BD-RE standard). As for BD-R discs, they can only be written once so no formatting/zeroing takes place and you should get the full write speed you've selected.

Using a cleaning disc on that burner could also help.

You might also want to update your DirectX.

If the drive shows up in Device Manager then it should work fine with ImgBurn

You did read LUK's post above, right?

It would help if we knew who made your laptop, since only they may have a firmware for that burner.

Using the slowest burn speed doesn't always result in a better burn quality, which is all what the console cares about. Those Verbatim blanks are rated for 8x burning and newer burners like yours are tuned for faster burns.

If you need the fastest speed then use 16x, but the burn quality is probably better when burning at 8x or 12x.

Try burning at 6x and 8x. If it doesn't work at first then use a lens cleaning disc on that drive and try again.

That one also has no support, or very poor support, if any, for those blanks

Also look for updated drivers for your motherboard's chipset and/or storage controller(s). Use SIW to find their brand/model and get the latest drivers from their respective manufacturers.

The link didn't work for me. If you want you can upload the picture to imageshack, imgur, photobucket, etc, any of them will do the job.

Your burner did a bad job burning that disc at 4x, so try burning at 8x or, even better, use higher quality media such as Verbatim and Taiyo Yuden blanks.

A newer burner may be able to burn those blanks, but in the end you'll still get a low quality burn. Even Aone noticed how bad that dye was and doesn't use it anymore in their blanks.

The firmware on that page is A107, which means it updates burners that have A100~A106 versions. Also notice that the firmware updater is looking for a burner with DVD+-RW in the name, and yours is DVDRAM, which means they have different capabilities. You might be able to find a firmware update for your burner in the support/download section of your laptop's manufacturer website.
