Can't read DVDs written with Imgburn v2

[ssjkakaroto]

Hello there, I just tried to burn a data DVD using Imgburn v2 and the disc is unreadable in Windows Explorer, it keeps asking me to insert a disc. The strange thing is that Imgburn, CD-DVD Speed and Alcohol all recognize the disk as being full, so I can make a image of the disc using Alcohol and when I mount it on a virtual drive I can read all the files without a problem.

I tried both using UDF and ISO9660+UDF, here's the log using ISO9660+UDF

Is there any more info I should post?

 

Thanks in advance

As imgburn locks the drive during a burn, the OS doesn't always see the changes.

 

Eject the disc, close imgburn then put the disc back in.

 

Explorer should then try and read the disc again properly.

I tried that LIGHTNING UK! but it's still unreadable. Even on different drives.

[ssjkakaroto]

Hmm, restarted the PC and it's working again, gonna record another DVD and see if it happens again, thx LIGHTNING UK!

[ssjkakaroto]

yep, working fine now, must have been something with STPI that was chosen when I first entered the program. now with ASPI everything is working fine.

According to your initial screenshot, you were always on ASPI.

 

There is no reason to ever change from that, SPTI undergoes ALL the testing, I never even look at the others anymore now really. Besides, you're using Nero ASPI which is just an SPTI wrapper anyway - and hence slower!

 

Do you by any chance have autoinsert disabled or something? It sounds to me as if your OS just isn't even attempting to look at the drive.

According to your initial screenshot, you were always on ASPI.

That was my 2nd burn, the first time I entered the program it was using SPTI.

Nero ASPI which is just an SPTI wrapper anyway - and hence slower!

Hmm, I didn't know that, but for some reason SPTI never gave me good results (lock ups or errors), even with other programs, not only with Imgburn.

Do you by any chance have autoinsert disabled or something?

Yes, autorun is disabled. But I've recorded 5 mores DVD since then and everything is fine, I just have to exit Imgburn like you said.
