Can't burn @ 4x or 6x with ImgBurn 2.5.6.0 / 2.5.7.0

[violator99]

My burner is the LG BH10LS30.

 

With ImgBurn 2.5.5.0 and earlier, I can burn no problem on blank Verbatim 6x Blu-rays.

 

With 2.5.6.0, I could never burn faster than 2x.

 

I decided to try with 2.5.7.0, and it's doing the same thing. 2x max, even if I chose to burn to 4x or 6x.

 

I downgraded to 2.5.5.0 and no problem.

 

Am I the only one with this problem?

 

Cheers!

weird, just to know, have you installed the lastest firmware for your burner?

Please post a log so I can see the problem in action.

 

The program always sends data to the drive as quickly as it can, so something else is causing the problem if it's not going at the speed the drive says it should be going at.

OK I just bought a new burner, as I thought it would fix the problem... LG BH12LS38

 

I still can't burn @ 6x on Verbatim 6x Certified Media but at least it's doing 4x instead of 2x with my old burner.

 

Here's the log:

Can you attach the graph data (IBG) file please.

Hmmmmmmm I burned another disc and this time it was going @ 6x. Maybe my first burn with the new burner was one of those disc that won't burn to 6x, like it happens sometimes.

 

I'll burn some more tonight and let you know. Thanks for your fast answer, by the way!
