Imgburn stops at 98% buffering. (solved, or maybe not after all!)


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

My grandpa said someone put windows 7 on his HP windows XP media center Pavilion A1247C and he hasn't been able to burn DVDs using DVD flick since, It gets to 98% buffering in imgburn then forever stops, the program doesn't freeze though, the timer keeps ticking but it wont close, even if you try and end the process.
Also after a failed burning attempt the DVD drive stops showing that there's a disc inside and if you try and right click on it to look at its properties Windows Explorer freezes until you restart and on shut down/restart somethings happens and it never fully shuts down, again only when there's been an attempt to burn a DVD.

I tried updating the drivers, making sure the cables are plugged in and stuff like that but was unable to fix it so i figured the burner itself was broken so i got a brand new one but its still doing the same thing. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Windows 7 The dvd burners are ATA, old one was a Lightscribe and the new ones Samsung SH-224 ATA

Boot into Safe mode and see if the same thing happens.

 

Your (his) issue isn't related to buffering, the buffering bit has completed ok. It's just your (his) machine doesn't appear to be processing the 'Write' commands properly (at all).

Okay i ran it in safe mode and the same thing happens but at a different percentage if that matters at all.

You're building images of different sizes, that's why the buffer is at different levels.

 

The buffer is configured to be 40MiB on your machine... you image isn't that large, hence it never reaches 100% full (and isn't meant to).

 

Copy ImgBurn.exe from the ImgBurn installation folder and overwrite the older version in DVD Flick's folder. I need you to be using the current release.

I don't know if this helps or not but i decided to try and burn a CD to see if it would work but i get an error from Windows Media player "windows media player cannot burn the files if the burner is busy"

Thanks for all your help man! I figured out the problem, Roxio was installed for some dumb reason and for some even dumber reason was keeping the DVD drive busy, what a piece of garbage program. Anyways hope this helps someone googling for this problem.

Looks like i might have spoken too soon, i reformated the harddrive and reinstalled windows, just cause i had to for some other stuff and the problem came back, exact same thing, stops at a certain percentage and stops forever. could it be an issue with the connector?

here's the log
