Check out these logs. If you see anything that might contribute to the slow burns then just suggest any possible solutions. /****************************************\\ ; ImgBurn Version 2.4.0.0 - Log ; Saturday, 22 March 2008, 14:20:16 ; \\****************************************// ; ; I 13:34:13 ImgBurn Version 2.4.0.0 started!

Ok. I got it. I'll open new thread. Thnx.

Ok. Sounds like a good idea. Does Imgburn keep logs of previous burns or does it erase the previous ones and posts the latest? If it keeps them then I could post a log right now in a new thread. If not give me a few and I'll try to simulate exactly what I did and then post that. Cool.

Hi Donta. Hi Loco. I'm going to defrag anyway but it's not bad. Also might hold off on the new firmware. Just burned 4 discs w/this burner at 8x and everything good. Seems I have to close any other app. whether I'm using it or not for the burn to go through smooth w/out a hitch. In this case it was my copy/back-up proggie which I minimized but would sometimes have the original in the other drive after it backed it up. @Loco. That asian chic is still rocking but Mmalves new chic is off the hook. Lol...

Hi Lightning. My Samsung Sh-S202J SB00 is also burning slower. I noticed a red new sign next to SB01 in the firmware page. Does this mean that's the new firmware 4 my burner? I'm new to this part. Thnx. Also would the check marks in lock volume and enable burn proof in the write option under tools have anything to do w/slowing down my burner? It went from a steady 8 as I usually use to 4x. Btw it fluctuates sometimes and hits 8. Any suggestions always appreciated as always.

returned 2, and 2 different models. no more returning as they swear it's not defective anymore. my mistake was the first return where i thought the 115d would b different, and the online site i got the 112d told me to keep it, and get w/e i wanted. i chose the 115d. wrong decision. bottom line is it's always about the money. we try to say it isn't, and think of all sorts of rationalizations, like it's the principle, and so forth, but it's always about the money, no matter how much. you're right though it's not the end of the world. it's brand new in the box though. hint. hint.

honestly, i'm ptfo about this pioneer myself. 1 4 reading the damn reviews, and they saying it was very good w/slight issues on the cd tip. right there i should of stayed as far away as possible. i pulled the trigger w/the biggest mistake many of us make, thinking it might not b bad, and they've fixed it. i needed to stick to my resolution this new year of taking the suggestions of the more experienced members, and also reviews 4 that matter. i fell asleep on this 1. there's an old saying that says,"you can't str8ten out a crooked branch." i'm stuck w/it now as a back up dvd burner which the damn thing does do well. never again 4 me either. anything else would b pure insanity. i was looking to use it to complement my 20x sammy, and free up the sata port i have my sata sammy in. i'm sticking w/what's working, and probably just snatch another ide sammy, or use my oem from my pc. at least they'll burn everything. i probably can't even chuck it 4 a reasonable price brand new as is.

thnx shamus. for a bit there i was totally frustrated, and trying to really give it the benefit of the doubt by process of elimination in regards to any pc hardware problems, as well as any software. i now know what i'd thought all along. it's a crap drive period. end of story. lucky for me i have an extra sammy that's great, and also my 2 original drives that came w/my pc. oh well. you live, and you learn.

thnx lightning. that audio feature on your new version should just about add another 2 or 3 cherries to imgburn. i'll check that discovery feature out. btw that 112d just outright has cd burning issues period. i even returned the 115d cause of that. took the 112d back cause pioneer had a recall, which hasn't done much obviously. just a note in case you get more threads about it. i see ther's 1 mab 2 here, and a whole bunch in other forums.

i got that. i guess i'm waiting for that new version of imgburn w/the audio feature. it will create an image of a music cd on a cd-r, but it'll only play in my stand alone dvd player. correct? also tried in vain to see what the discovery feature is about, and couldn't find anything in search, or just put wrong keyword. there's no guide on this. i think? can you please help me w/this. appreciated as always.

thnx mmalves. i did do it that way b4, but it still creates an image of the data doesn't it? only b able to view it on stand alone dvd player, or pc right?

went through the search, and really didn't find anything about imgburn being able to burn data onto a cd-r, and if i missed that, i don't know how to do it anyway. do you still have to create an image to burn data onto a cd-r? it's called imgburn 4 a reason. that i'm clear about. i really need help w/this, because i'm trying to see if my burner which is a 112d from pioneer is having issues w/a proggie i'm using, or whether it's an all around problem. have latest firmware 1.24. also read the thread w/the fella having issues w/same burner, and then putting it in different system. don't have luxury to do that, and issue is w/cds anyway. btw i'm using burrrn to burn the cds. my other 2 drives, samsung sata sh-s203b, and samsung sh-s202j have no problems whatsover. thnx.

if imgburn didn't have that load filter option, then i never would of posted in this forum. mayb your reply was either better not said, or put into the do you have any else to discuss about forum. i think mab, just mab, that's where the title newbie comes into play. thousands already know this is a great program, including myself, no need for promotion. it speaks for itself. thnx. for the tip though it was helpful.

hi. i was checking out the filter driver load order, and i accidently put a filter on a clip board. i can't find a clip board, and don't know what it is. just would like some help in locating the clip board, and taking out the filter. thnx. if in fact i put it there 2 begin with.

thnx lightning. i got it. i have to create it just like that and in that path on the hard drive. it went smooth w/out any prompts. i just have 2 adjust the settings on my back-up proggies so that the output, and target files are sent to the c hard drive w/the folder i created.

hi moondogger. i know that's why lightning suggests that tip. i just tried adding the folder w/the name on it, and it burned it, but it burned the folder also. that's why i didn't want 2 follow what donta suggested by clicking on yes when the pop-up window shows up asking about the root folder. etc... i've changed the setting on my proggie, and now it's a lil better to locate, and faster, the VIDEO_TS folder w/the files. otherwise i'd have to open up about 3 subfolders 2 get it. do you guys understand what i mean about creating that folder as suggested by lightning the way he explains it. just creating a new folder w/a name gives it an audio, and when backing up 2 it a VIDEO_TS folder. the folder w/in the folder that he suggests will only result in several more VIDEO_TS folders, of which 1 will only have the files. the others would b empty, and would have 2 b deleted causing even more time. i'm just curious about why lightning suggests that whole folder w/in the folder thing. every pc, or back-up proggie will automatically create a VIDEO_TS folder. is lightning referring to some other kind of video work? i don't think he is, but maybe it's so. the main thing w/build mode is the VIDEO_TS folder itself. once you choose that folder that's all that's needed. it'll automatically do what lightning suggests, give the name of the label 4 u. everything else is just going to cause more confusion. drag, selecting yes, etc...etc... most if not all of us have back-up proggies. go ahead and create that folder w/in the folder and you'll see what i mean. you'll get exactly what i've described. additional video_ts folders. i'm not going 2 go bonkers over the guide. i've read it several times and followed it to the tee. same results every time. additional video_ts folders not needed.

hi volvo. i'm using dvdf...hd to make my back-ups. it has a predestined folder 4 mo..e only. now this is fine, but i have to open up my documents, then my name's documents, then dvdf..b hd, then, the mo..e only folder, then click on the VIDEO_TS folder. understand now. maybe i can bypass this. all i know is that even when i create a new folder, it'll go under this heading and the same path. i still don't understand why in lightning's guide he suggests to create a folder in a path, one inside that 1 w/the name, and 1 inside that one which is the VIDEO_TS folder. he then says to save the files to the VIDEO_TS folder. well it does that automatically anyway, and you don't have to create folders w/in folders because once you just create a folder and name it, whether on your hard drive etc... it automatically creates the audio, and VIDEO_TS folders. saving it in the VIDEO_TS folder like he suggests in his guide only ends up making another VIDEO_TS folder in that 1. somewhere here i don't get why he suggests that whole set up. it does work when you select the VIDEO_TS folder, and then click build in device mode so that imgburn will name your label 4 u. that saves time like lightning suggests, and i like that. i just don't get the folder w/in the folder thing. it has nothing to do w/DL either. if you have any suggestion on this, or lightning's guide it's greatly appreciated as always.

i'm going to check the proggie over 4 a change in that setting. though i'm not looking to make an iso. i'm looking to burn str8 to dvd w/device output. making an iso is just more time, and like lightning suggested there's no difference in quality, or the time it takes to burn in build mode using device output.

donta it don't matter whether it's single layer, or not. besides i like setting it to file set because then i have more options for anything else. like i mentioned b4 i could use their target folder. it justs has to b open a couple of times 4 the VIDEO_TS folder. also it'll have their preselected name which is not too much of a big deal, but if i could use my own named folder i'd like 2 do so.

donta i know all about that. you guys r missing the point about the pre-selected folder my program has. also i'm talking about burning in build mode w/device, not creating an iso. that's why lightning put out that guide bcause this can bcome confusing even to some of us more advanced in digital video. when you select the VIDEO_TS folder in ur destination folder like lightning suggests you won't get any pop-up windows. that's y he has that tip there. i just need some suggestion how i could create a folder independent of the 1 my program has as its target. otherwise it'll show up under my folder plus under the program's target destination. i'm trying 2 keep within the rules of the forum, if you get what i mean. it doesn't matter though bcause it'll happen regardless w/my program.

hi volvo. i'm trying to eliminate having to go through all that hassle of deleting the extra VIDEO_TS folders. and just picking the name of the folder i don't think will burn the files just the folder w/its name which is empty. i think. i'm not sure. that use to happen to me b4, but i'm not sure if it was through adding files, or browsing the folder option. that's why i think lightning suggested choosing the VIDEO_TS folder when adding it to the source window. the program i use automatically has a name for the back-up folder, and i think that's the issue. i just want to create 1 w/a different name because then it'll b quicker 4 me to select the VIDEO_TS folder in it and let imgburn add it and then burn in build mode using output 2 device. i just need some suggestion how i could create my own folder like lightning suggests, and not have the program i use throw the files into their preset destination folder. it'll save me some time doing that. i don't like having to search for folders w/in folders. 1 yes like the VIDEO_TS folder w/in my back-up folder's name, but not another 1 within that one, or vice versa.

hi lightning. i created that folder structure you suggested in your guide, and what happens is when i back-up the files to that video_ts folder, it creates another video_ts folder w/in that one automatically. also the program i use to back-up my video files already has a folder for them, and that creates a video_ts folder also. do i have to pick a totally different place on my pc to store the video files w/ just w/just its name, and when it backs up the video just pick the video_ts folder it creates automatically, and let imgburn do the rest? otherwise i get 2, even 3 video_ts folders. yes, i did try the device method and it's faster. eliminates having to create an iso and then burning.

hi lightning. excuse the delay in posting my results. does writing directly to disc using build mode w/device as per your guide take longer than building an iso, and then burning? also does it take away from the quality of the burn when you write directly to disc using this method? i've been building to an iso image, and then burning. everything's fine. i just want to know a different take on this.

thnx loco. that asian hottie avatar is something else.

good looking out. btw i heard, probably posted by you or some of the other fellas that the download of a new version of dvd shrink was a fraud and not related at all to the original dvd shrink 3.2. is that correct?
