thesdf Posted December 27, 2005 Posted December 27, 2005 Hello. I am using imgburn 1.1 and I am burning DV-Disks That's Tayio yuden 8x, in a drive BenQ 1240. I am burning large .img files (about 4GB full DVD movie), which I got from the web. I have been recently advised to replace old installation of DVDDecrypter by imgburn, and I have read around the web in reviews that my drive (BenQ 1240) is one of the best around and the disks I am using are also top ranked. However if I don?t set the burn speed to 2x, the burning is not successful at least half of the times. I mean that even if I set it to burn speed 4x, half of the times the burning progress stops at 70-80% I am defragging every night my PC (with O&O soft) and also I am cleaning System Registry and Junk Files with Ace Optimizer Utilities. Also the burning of *.wav, *.mp3 and *.avi files to CD or DVD are always successful, even at max speed, as well as the simple copy procedure (two identical disks on the fly). I thought that you may know what could be wrong and direct me accordingly. I guess that it could be the quality of img file I have downloaded (corrupted) but I am not sure; is there any way that I can verify this? Thanks.

LIGHTNING UK! Posted December 27, 2005 Posted December 27, 2005 Show us a log of you actually burning something. It's handy if we can see the error. btw, your drive is probably a 1640 - as 1240 doesn't exist!
thesdf Posted December 27, 2005 Author Posted December 27, 2005 (edited) I suppose logs are not saved, I will try to repeat in order to save the log and post it, reverting… Ops edit: my drive is 1640, lol Edited December 27, 2005 by thesdf
thesdf Posted December 27, 2005 Author Posted December 27, 2005 Here is my log. Please note that I set the speed at ?MAX?. Also as I explained if I set the speed at ?2x? it won?t fail. I am not experienced in burning but from the facts I am sure the error related to a possible corrupted file because it always occurs after 75% completion of burning procedure. So it is either hardware incompatibility or software bug. Therefore I bought the Benq 1640 two weeks ago, but the problem continues. Finally I don?t have any problem with Imgburn, I will keep using it; I don?t mind so much about low speeds. I 20:32:06 ImgBurn Version 1.1.0.0 started!

LIGHTNING UK! Posted December 27, 2005 Posted December 27, 2005 The content of the file is irrelevant. The drive just sees it as data, it doesn't know/care what it is. The program itself works fine with the drive, I have a 1640 myself that I perform testing with - that said, I'm running BSOB firmware. So... update your firmware and try again.
thesdf Posted December 28, 2005 Author Posted December 28, 2005 Please tell me how to update the firmware. The windows XP are fully updated and last weekend I downloaded/updated my BIOS with the latest beta update. I thought that I don?t update the drives ? only the BIOS.
Shamus_McFartfinger Posted December 28, 2005 Posted December 28, 2005 (edited) Please tell me how to update the firmware. The windows XP are fully updated and last weekend I downloaded/updated my BIOS with the latest beta update. I thought that I don?t update the drives ? only the BIOS. Firmware is what controls your drive and contains commands that allow programmers like Lightning_UK! to "talk" to the drive. Updating your firmware ensures that the latest commands supported by your drive may be accessed as well as ironing out possible bugs in the drive itself. (The Pioneer 120 is a good example of a shit drive with shit firmware). Updating is pretty easy. 1. Open ImgBurn 2. Right click on your drive and select "Check for firmware updates" from the menu 3. Take note of the firmware version in the requester. In my case it's v1.58 4. Check the results against the available firmware for your drive. Ignore hacked firmware for the time being . As you can see where I've badly circled below, v1.58 is the latest firmware version for this drive. If your firmware is older than what is displayed, save the firmware file and then run it. If it's the same or newer, don't bother. Hope it helps. Edited August 14, 2007 by Shamus_McFartfinger
thesdf Posted December 28, 2005 Author Posted December 28, 2005 Presently I am at the office and I only have a CD-RW here. I did a test to update firmware of the CD-RW, as you indicated and I got an error, that the specified string could not be found. Of course I will try it from home PC in the afternoon, where the Benq1640 is and I will revert.
LIGHTNING UK! Posted December 28, 2005 Posted December 28, 2005 http://www.benq.co.uk/serviceandsupport/do...duct=750&type=B Down the bottom of the page... BSOB firmware. That other firwmare site might not have it listed yet.
volvofl10 Posted December 28, 2005 Posted December 28, 2005 slightly off topic as for your "failed to find search string" message when testing your works cd-rw , use the "downlaod search" link at the top left of the page and enter 8525 as your search string, and you will find the drive
froccs Posted December 28, 2005 Posted December 28, 2005 (edited) Hi Why not possible set slow speed? I set 1x or 2x and the IMGBURN write 4x why? My Writer LG GSA-4040B A304 Thanks froccs Edited December 28, 2005 by froccs
LIGHTNING UK! Posted December 28, 2005 Posted December 28, 2005 Look at the 'Supported Write Speeds' bit in the information panel on the right. Your drive/firmware/media combination is the limiting factor. The program will always try to set the drives speed to the one you tell it to. It's up to the drive to use that speed or one that it DOES actually support.
lfcrule1972 Posted December 28, 2005 Posted December 28, 2005 Hey Shamus - thats a nifty little guide with pics for updating firmware - is it ok if I link to it in my sig (below) ? If not post here and I will delete the link fella..... Regards

LIGHTNING UK! Posted December 29, 2005 Posted December 29, 2005 Maybe they're fake TY discs?! I can't imagine the real thing bombing out on you all the time like that. I'll raid my cupboard and see if I've got any with that media id, and then try burning a few of them myself.
lfcrule1972 Posted December 29, 2005 Posted December 29, 2005 (edited) I have those discs boss - if you want some let me know ! @Shamus - thanks fella ! Edited December 29, 2005 by lfcrule1972

I'll raid my cupboard and see if I've got any with that media id, and then try burning a few of them myself. To tell you the true, I was ready to ask this. I got these disks about 2 months ago, from the only official Taiyo Yuden reseller in Athens. I used to buy white-color DVDs but last time I got the yellow ones because they were cheaper. I don?t have any on me now, but I will take a pix of the disk when I am at home and I will upload it here. Because I am really curious about this I am going to buy the previous disks soon to test.
LIGHTNING UK! Posted December 29, 2005 Posted December 29, 2005 Damn it! I've been through all my spindles and didn't find any TYG02's I've got some old TYG01's and some Yunden000-T03-00... they're about the closest.

LIGHTNING UK! Posted December 29, 2005 Posted December 29, 2005 hmmm well spotted corn! Seems that firmware doesn't like them 100% I've got a bunch on order from svp so I'll be able to test for myself soon enough.
volvofl10 Posted December 30, 2005 Posted December 30, 2005 but the log shows as I 20:18:22 Found 2 DVD?RWs!so it should burn them anyway , shouldnt it ? dont forget theres branded and UNbranded TY's from svp. the branded have never given me a problem
LIGHTNING UK! Posted December 30, 2005 Posted December 30, 2005 Yeah but 2.4x isn't a real/valid speed for DVD-R. It's like the drive doesn't really support those discs. Mind you, my Pioneer 110 lists 3.4x, 6x, 8x as supported speeds for the new 8x Ricoh DVD+RW media! 3.4x ????!! WTF! lol
