bizarre occurence using imgburn 2.2.0.0 - may not be bug

[bruceg]

Hi,

 

I just wanted to report a strange problem I had using imgburn 2.2.0.0 (actually the first problem I've ever had with the program, as it has been extremely reliable).

 

I am using a Pioneer dvr-111d internal writer on a windows xp sp2 machine.

 

I was trying to burn a dual layer .iso file onto a Verbatim dvd+r dl 8x disk (at the lowest speed 2.4x). In the middle of burning, I cancelled and it took a long time to finally abort (was finalizing the disk).

 

After it finally aborted, some very long 'XML' error message popped up (sorry I can't be more specific - should have copied the contents), and my system froze.

 

The strange part was that after I rebooted my system, imgburn never functioned properly again. One time it stopped right in the middle of burning and froze (apparently imgburn stopped communicating with the os/device drivers). Another time it burned a coaster. That 'xml' error message reappeared as well.

 

I finally fixed the problem by re-installing my OS from scratch (now imgburn runs perfectly again).

 

Lesson I learned was not to cancel the burn right in the middle (especially with a dual layer disk) =)

The XML thing sounds totally unrelated, ImgBurn doesn't have anything to do with XML, nor XML with ImgBurn.

 

Cancelling the burn is fine (besides wasting a disc). You had deeper problems that reinstalling seems to have fixed.
