Dilip Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 I'm running imgburn 2.5.2.0 on Windows 7 64-bit, and have a Lightscribe CD/DVD burner. I had over 4.7 GB of pictures to backup, so created 3 folders so that each would fit on one DVD and used imgburn to burn (write files and folders to DVD) and verify each of the 3 DVDs (just. It all came back successful, but when I put any of the DVDs in, the computer doesn't recognize that there is any content there at all. How can I debug this situation and find out what's wrong? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dilip Posted November 18, 2010 Author Share Posted November 18, 2010 Sure thing. Here is the log. Interesting new news - I can read the contents just fine when I put one of the DVDs in a Mac laptop ... my Win 7 computer is fairly new, but I've not had problems reading other DVDs. These may, however, be the first DVDs I have written on this machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that the disc I tried worked on another machine, are the DVDs okay or should I re-burn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianymaty Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 If it can be read easily on other computers than I think is not a problem the disc itself. It's funny though that the burner can't see what itself put on that disc and verified as OK. Go to Tools/Filter Driver Load Order... copy to clipboard and paste here.

LIGHTNING UK! Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Have you tried looking at the disc again after a reboot? Windows might have just got confused and not noticed the contents of the disc had changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dilip Posted November 19, 2010 Author Share Posted November 19, 2010 Looks great. I'm out of options now. Okay - I rebooted and things are better. I can see the files. But on the first DVD anyway, I see in Windows Explorer "Files Currently on the Disc (1)", with the right content, but also a section "Files Ready to be Written to the Disc (1)" with desktop.ini from Oct. 4. I've not seen this before - what does this mean? I thought that the DVDs were finalized by imgburn. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianymaty Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 If you talk about the task pane of Windows Explorer on left that has nothing to do with ImgBurn, it's Windows behaviour. You probably draged that file on drive and Windows wants to burn it to disc, that's how you burn files from Windows Explorer using Windows built in burning engine. ImgBurn always finalize discs regardles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dilip Posted November 19, 2010 Author Share Posted November 19, 2010 It's actually on the right pane. I didn't do any dragging - I used imgburn to select one specific folder to burn to each DVD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
