LIGHTNING UK! Posted July 28, 2011 Posted July 28, 2011 It's impossible to say exactly where it's stuck based on the info you've provided. It looks like the program has run into difficulty somewhere between filling up the buffer and checking the disc activity level. Does it get stuck like that *every* time the program mentions 'waiting for buffers to recover' ? I expect ImgBurn is just waiting for a Windows API function to complete processing. Disabling 'Buffer Recovery' would get around the problem but ideally you'd figure out why your system gets stuck in the first place - obviously it's not meant to!
Heavy Smoker Posted July 29, 2011 Author Posted July 29, 2011 (edited) Does it get stuck like that *every* time the program mentions 'waiting for buffers to recover' ? Yes it does every time i get waiting for buffers to recover it just gets stuck and never recovers. So if i disable buffer recover will that sort the problem out or would i get a new error. Most of the time it works fine but the last few weeks i would say its done it 5 times out of 15. Not really and pc freck lolz so not sure what to look for ? Thanks for getting back to me so quick Edit: my pc is around 9 years old lolz Edited July 29, 2011 by Heavy Smoker
LIGHTNING UK! Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 Ah, if it does it every time, we could do some digging and work out exactly where it's getting stuck and try to fix it properly. Buffer recovery kicks in when your hard drive isn't providing data quickly enough - so you could semi force the situation by doing something like running defrag whilst trying to burn. You could be burning to a rewritable disc or a DVD-R with Test Mode enabled so as to not waste any discs. If you're not interested in getting to the bottom of it then you can take the easy way out... If you disable buffer recovery, that whole chunk of code will no longer get called/run. If it's not called/run, it can't get stuck.
Heavy Smoker Posted July 29, 2011 Author Posted July 29, 2011 (edited) Ok so if i disable buffer recovery will the iso still burn right for 360 and play ok. I would like to find the problem and get it sorted but im not that good with PCs bruv. Thanks again for helping me Edit: Its still stuck lolz can't even close it down Edited July 29, 2011 by Heavy Smoker
LIGHTNING UK! Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 Yes. Try not to use your machine too much when burning, even just downloading etc - anything that uses the hdd will kill the sequential transfer rate and that will empty out the buffers if it goes too low. Turning buffer recovery off won't stop the buffers running out - you just won't be told about the issue when it's off. When they run out, the device buffer will be all over the place. When that happens, drive has to keep turning the laser on/off and basically 'pausing' the burn - and that's something you want to try and avoid. The idea behind buffer recovery is that the drive only has to do that once.
Heavy Smoker Posted July 29, 2011 Author Posted July 29, 2011 Did a defrag this morning still no good. So what would the next stage be to find the problem out?
LIGHTNING UK! Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 Still no good in what way? I thought you were just going to disable buffer recovery and ignore the problem? Have you reproduced the issue when burning a rewritable disc / DVD-R with test mode enabled?
Heavy Smoker Posted July 29, 2011 Author Posted July 29, 2011 Yeah i was going to disable buffer recovery till you posted that's something you want to try and avoid. Whats the next step for me to try and find the problem out. You say waiting for a Windows API function to complete processing is maybe the problem how would i pin point exactly what it is and sort it out. Sorry if i seem noob ish lolz but i have no clue what im doing with PCs. This may seem checky but i will ask you anyway, could you help me over team viewer ? PLEASE My PC is very old (2002) i was thinking about just up-grading if i can't sort the problem out.
LIGHTNING UK! Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 Ok, before we get into the technical stuff, I need to know something... Do you have any rewritable, CD-R or DVD-R discs? (otherwise these tests will cost you a disc each time and I don't like doing that to people)
Heavy Smoker Posted July 29, 2011 Author Posted July 29, 2011 (edited) I have many CD-R + DVD-R single write disks that i don't mind using. Just don't really what to use my DVD+R DL lolz Support your giving is carzy on this site very well run and very helpfull thank you Edited July 29, 2011 by Heavy Smoker
LIGHTNING UK! Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 Ok cool, here's what you do... Load the program Make sure buffer recovery is enabled in the settings (if you haven't touched it then don't worry about checking it) Click the write image file to disc button Load your ISO (use the same one that failed to burn before, don't worry that it won't fit on a DVD-R disc) insert DVD-R disc make sure the 'Test Mode' box is ticked. Press the F6 key - you should see a log entry saying debug has been enabled. *this is very important* Start the burn. At this point you'll have to just accept the message about it not fitting on the disc. Once it's burning, fire up defrag quickly and set it going on the same drive as where your source ISO image is located (i.e. C:\ drive) What we're aiming for is being able to swamp the hdd with multiple requests so it can't provide ImgBurn with enough data - thus forcing buffer recovery to kick (and get stuck). If just running defrag alongside the burn isn't enough to kill the buffer levels in ImgBurn, try starting a full virus scan on the drive too or something. Once you get the 'Waiting for buffers to recover' message in ImgBurn's log window, let them recover (stop defrag/virus scan etc) and see what happens next. It'll either remain stuck on that message as per the reason for this thread, or it'll work properly and get back to 'writing sectors' - where you'll then have to do it all again and hope it gets stuck!

LIGHTNING UK! Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 oh damn, I forgot about that You'll have to find a single layer (4GB) image to test with. And that log shows you missed pressing F6!
Cynthia Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 Aha, sorry missed that. CDB error is usually when you burn more than the disc can hold. Looks as the burner doesn't support over burning.
Heavy Smoker Posted July 29, 2011 Author Posted July 29, 2011 lolz sorry my bad about F6. Just getting a single layer image to test with.
Heavy Smoker Posted July 29, 2011 Author Posted July 29, 2011 (edited) Right got the same error soon as i started defrag and opened firefox Its still stuck and i can't close imgburn with out re-starting my PC. The timer is still working but thats it Edited July 29, 2011 by Heavy Smoker
LIGHTNING UK! Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 Right, I'm going to have to send you an updated version of ImgBurn so you can repeat the process with that. Is it ok to use your forum email address? Can you not kill ImgBurn's process via Task Manager rather than rebooting?
