    Verify stops with DL at 99%

    in ImgBurn Support

    Posted · Edited by Sliztzan

    Doesn't happen everytime?? This is the second time it's happened in about 200 burns. Why would it only happen twice?

    I hesitate burning DL on the older one because it doesn't have the capability to adjust laser position.

     

    Edit:

    This makes me consider getting a newer drive. I know that Plextor hasn't made any drives since the 760 and are outsourcing now. Would you be willing to recommend a replacement that was AS good or better than Plextor now? I haven't even looked into new drives for years.

    Here is the information from an older Plextor drive #740

     

    BTW, you told me you fixed it last week, but I never got the fix and don't know where to get it.

    Should I burn this disc again?

    This disc would be hard to replace since it has been discontinued, so I tried burning it again and all looks ok now and passed verification. But what I don't understand is why the verify would not pick up this problem?

     

    Is there some bug with verify?

    Ok I mounted the image with Daemon Tools and verified the mounted image drive against the image file and it verified OK.

     

    Since this problem I've burned about 10 more DL DVD's and the problem hasn't happened again.

     

    Here is the copied information you requested from the 'problem' disc. Thank you!

    It stops but the time elapsed still running and time remaining at Unknown. There is no error message. In status it still says verifying sectors and verify rate 0 Kb/s. I've tried this on two drives. On the first drive it completed verify with no errors the second try. I did it again and same problem. Moved to another drive no success. What is wrong?

    Thank you!

    Phew, just finished fixing it!

     

    It's a real pain when you have no idea how anything works... not even the development environment!

     

    There's a bit of code that seems to scan starting at the beginning of the file - no matter which cells you tell it to play.

     

    As you can imagine, scanning for vob pack headers right at the start of an ISO is never going to work very well and that's why the window took ages to pop up (if ever).

     

    This fix applies to loading image files and when examining a burnt disc directly so hopefully all 3 ways of using ImgBurnPreview.exe will now work ok!

     

    Wow Lightning, that was so quick. When your good, your good. :thumbup:

    Oh and by the way thanks for taking care of all 3 :)

    I read your note that you duplicated the problem, so this is just to give you what happened from my end too.

     

    When you say it's loading but not displaying, where in task manager is it visible?

     

    Just on the 'Processes' tab or on the 'Applications' tab too?

     

    Just in the Processes tab. It starts out using about 80 processor usage, drops to appx 25 which stays that way until the preview finishes playing?, then to 0.

     

    The next time you notice it's not popping up, take a quick visit to the temp folder and grab a copy of the ini file passed to the previewer exe.

     

    Then have a go at calling it yourself from a command prompt window and see if it does the same thing.

     

    i.e.

     

    ImgBurnPreview.exe "ImgBurn_Preview.ini"

     

    Did that and just a blank preview screen.

     

    Also, when it doesn't work for a given image, will it never work no matter how many times you terminate + retry it?

     

    Right, it never works no matter how many times I try, killing the process after each time. Also each time I try it adds another process in Task Manager. Someone mentioned that after 2 or 3 minutes the preview will play. I waited 5 min. and still nothing.

    All right, what is the constant factor on the three screenshots we have in this post? Can you spot it? ;)

    All of them have the layer break at the middle of the ISO image. Could that be the problem?

     

    If that were the issue then we shouldn't be able to preview the layer break in build mode should we? But we can.

    Just a thought, but I wonder if it has anything to do with some DVDs that aren't seekable with PowerDVD. Which I posted in another forum (CD Freaks/DVDFab). Navigation Slider not operational in Power DVD.

     

    Hello,

     

    I always keep the protection settings the same in the options which are set to install defaults with the exception that I keep the option to remove the layer break turned off. The problem I have is that after a Full Disc rip, with some of the DVD's, I cannot use the Navigational Slider in PowerDVD to move the movie forward and backwards by moving with the mouse. I have to use the FF and RR buttons which are much slower than if I want to jump towards the end of the movie using the slider.

     

    I don't know why it only works with some of the DVD's I rip and not others. I always test the functionality of the Full DVD rip by playing the movie from my hard drive with Power DVD before I burn. Can you tell me if this can be fixed?

     

    Reply from blutach:

     

    This happens if the timemap is incorrect or the PGC is not one-sequential.

     

    Try rebuilding the timemaps with PgcEdit.

     

    Regards

    No problem here... any chance of a screenshot of the LB + preview windows clearly visible?

     

    The preview window does not display, yet the imgburnpreview.exe process is running in the task manager. I have the image mounted and selected to "Display IFO Layer Break Information". I've attached a screenshot. Oh, and as a reminder I can go to build mode and drag the video_ts folder from the drive the image is mounted to into IB and preview the layer breaks fine. Thank you!

     

    P.S. This doesn't happen with ALL images.

    Hi and thanks for ImgBurn :)

     

    I've tried viewing layer breaks with a mounted ISO in write mode. After clicking to preview the selected layer break the window dims (goes to background) and the EXE loads but does not preview. I have also tried this without the image mounted just by selecting to view the layer break info with the mds file. Neither works. The only way it works for me is in the build mode by selecting the video ts folder on the mounted drive. Seems weird because thats what it should be doing from the write mode once layer break viewing is selected? Thanks for your help!

    The OPC command sending wasn't in previous version at all.

     

    Drives tend to do it automatically when you send the first 'Write' command, this just allows the program to pick up on problems that little bit earlier and there's less chance of it killing a disc in the first few seconds of writing.

     

    Ok, I understand. Great idea Lightning (along with the huge amount of others) :thumbup:

     

    Also, I had read this new feature: "Added: When filling the buffer before a write operation, the program won't ever consider it full if the 'Cancel' window is open. This gives the user time to cancel the burn and prevent anything from being written to the disc."

     

    It amazes me how much you know about burning discs and other system knowledge. I'm guessing many things are a combined effort from the beta testers and other kind folks also that help you with the final product, cuz I don't really know. Anyway, thanks again Chewy and Lightning!

    Hello :)

     

    I noticed that with the new version has OPC enabled by default. This wasn't enabled in the previous version, correct?

    I have a Plextor 755 internal drive and the OPC is new to me, though now I know it's been around a long time. If this wasn't enabled in the old version of IB does that mean the Plextor drive didn't do that before burning? I just don't know if it was enabled and I've recently burned over 100 DVDs.

     

    Also is it OK to run two instances of IB and burn two DL DVD at the same time? What about single layer? I've noticed that burning 1 doesn't use much processor activity.

     

    Thanks for your help and also the new features of IB!!
