xeper Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 (edited) Hi, Had a problem today burning a Dual Layer DVD, I was using a little bit older version 2,2 and was burning and image file through a *.dvd wich had the layer brake set, and on 27% imgburn had crashed, crashing my pc so i was in no position of copying the log and posting it here. The dvd writer i have is PLEXTOR 740A, now i know that maybe because i didn't had latest version at the moment. But now i am afraid of burning a dl dvd with newest version because i have screwd 2 dvd's already. They are expensive. Other one has been corrupted while i was burning with clone CD (almost newest version) - it told me that it didn't support my dvd recorder after starting burning and made it all the way to 9% untill it stalled and i was recording for an hour at 9% until i shut it down brutally. (imgburn made it to 27 or 28 percent when it crashed). Is it because my DVD-drive is bad or that i have faulty hardware problems or because the software doesn't suport my PX-740A or the image file is corrupted. Please help. I bought this DVD writer 3 years back. And didn't had any single problem with it until i tried burning DL DVD. Thank you for your attention. P.S. the error message seemed to be critical as it DID NOT display anything in a log file, it just outputed a really large error window that had lots of prefexis and memmory adresses of somesort, and stalled my pc. If it will help i am usng ASUS P5N32-e SLI MB with 800mhz fsb RAM. (few months back i had updated my MB BIOS). Edited January 3, 2008 by xeper
blutach Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 Search and see the guides. 1. Update firmware 2. Use only Verbatim DL +R 2.4X blanks made in Singapore 3. Check DMA is on 4. There's always a log to post. Open ImgBurn and go to help menu 5. Update your ImgBurn - we no longer support v2.2 Regards
xeper Posted January 3, 2008 Author Posted January 3, 2008 Yea I think i found the problem, it's due to old firmware, my firend had similar problem
LIGHTNING UK! Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 ImgBurn doesn't crash your PC, your drivers do. (or some external factor such as dodgy psu or overclocking) It doesn't work at a low enough level to cause a system crash.
