Failed to convert write speed (8x) to a floating point value - 'MAX' will be used instead.

Hi guys,

 

Got this new problem since upgrade to 2.2.0.0

When i start burning it gives this message in the log: ! Failed to convert write speed (8x) to a floating point value - 'MAX' will be used instead.

I'm using verbatim mcc004 discs and a benq driver, hope someone can help me, Thanks!

Are you anywhere with a weird character set? and by 'weird', I mean non english.

 

Basically it's failing to conver the number '8' (but as a string) into the number '8' (as a real number).

 

It should be simple!

 

Does it happen every single time? Is '8x' the only one it fails on? (You have to ignore 'MAX' as that's different)

Thanks for the swift reply.

You're probably spot on with the character set.

Just a few days ago winrar prompted me with somekind of 'encoding' (not quit sure anymore) question.

Thought i recognised it and agreed.

Since then all my dots are gone (4571433 instead of 4.571.433) and that's not even bad. All my numbers in windows have gone haywire.

This is obviously not a problem with ImgBurn, and you already have been a great help with pinpointing the source of my problem.

But i was hoping you could help me to fix this or otherwise point me in the right direction.

Thanks a lot.

 

P.s.: It hapens everytime. When i tried burning at 12x it didn't give the message.

Sorry - you unpacked something that altered your character sets ? If you are using XP can you roll back to a previous restore point before you unpacked this program ?

Just go into control panel -> 'regional and language options' and reconfigure it to use the defaults for the country you're in.

 

It's weird that 12 works and not 8, maybe it's because there are 2 digits and not 1.

 

Going by that theory, 4x should also fail though. I'll leave that for you to test

Thanks a lot for the advice, all good now.

 

Great support!
