Synchronise Cache??

[TotalHavoc]

Lately when I burn an iso, Imgburn just sits there on Synchronise Cache. I have a Benq 1655 that was using the BCDB Firmware. I upgraded to BCHB to see if the fixed the issue to no avail. It is weird, sometimes I can burn 5-6 iso no problem yet other times I can't even get one. I have included a short copy of the log file while in debug mode. oh, and I also had this problem on 1.3 before I upgraded to 2.0. Think it is a hardware problem? I found a copy of the BCGB firmware and I'm going to try it.

As you can see, the program is still sending commands to the drive and the drive is responding. That's a good thing

 

Trouble is, the drive really does still think it's busy doing something with the disc.

 

Are you using decent quality media? What's the media code?

I'm using Printable Verbatims, code MCC 03RG20.

 

I have also tried Ritek G05s

 

That is all I have on me right now. I guess I could pick up some others to test.

The G05s are utter crap and in the same league as CMCs.

 

Try to close the disc manually through the tools menu.

The G05s have just been sitting on my desk collecting dust. I usually use all Verbatims.

 

I downgraded the firmware from BCHB to BCGB and I'm still having the problem. I will try what you said but that would be a pain to have to do it everytime. When it does this if I issue a cancel command it just sits there. I have to end the task and reboot to do anything with the burner.

If the drive thinks it's busy, the drive thinks it's busy.

 

It doesn't matter if you cancel the operation in ImgBurn, it's the drive that's doing stuff, not the program. ImgBurn is just asking the 'Are we nearly there yet?' type question every second!

 

Any program that tries to use the drive will just recieve the same old message... 'Logical Unit not ready, Long Write in progress'

 

BCDB worked ok for me on that drive with those discs but you do get higher PI errors at the outer edge.

Have you tried a slower speed or burning a smaller image - just for testing purposes I mean.

[polopony]

those are the Verb -R ,16X printables ,I've bought 200 and they all burn and verify fine although I do use an NEC3500. I dont believe that you close the -R format , its only the +R you can manually close but not 100% sure

Hi

I had the same problem when I started using some tdk's, I posted this here http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=1930

If I hit retry it finishes up fine and sometimes it does and sometimes it doesnt.
