Imgburn wont.... burn imgs

[jkilbrid]

I am having a strange problem with img burn. Firstly, Imgburn simiply WILL not burn at the speed I specify. No matter what speed I select, IMGburn will always burn at maximum rate (4.0x for DLs), which brings me to my second problem. IMGburn worked perfectly for me for a very long time, then all of the sudden (right when Gears 2 came out) no matter what image I try to burn (I have stuck to testing until I can get it working again, I don't want to lose anymore DVDs) IMGburn works AOK up until 54% (tried on 2 seperate isos downloaded from 2 different sources) and then the buffer goes to 0 and it stops. Here is my log.

At this point it locks up and I have to ctrl alt del and reset my computer before my burner will even function again. it occurs at 54% every time in all images. I have reinstalled my drivers (twice) and uninstalled/reinstalled imageburn, all to no avail. Thank you in advance for any help you can offer

your using the wrong discs you need dual layer + not minus

[jkilbrid]

Holy crap you're right. I can't believe I was that dumb and didn't notice the fact that I'm writing on to DVD-DL. Would that really result in the problems I'm getting?

EVEN if they burnt they would not work on ya 360 as layerbreak would be in wrong place look at log it warned you about layerbreak.

 

You need Verbatim MKM-001-00 blanks

 

Waiting for hard disk activity to reach threshold level...

this is not a very good sign either do not use the computer or download anything or scan for viruses etc whilst burning.

 

defrag your hard drives and then scan you hard drives for errors as well, ticking top box automatically fix file system errors , not the scan for bad sectors, not unless you have lots of time or know fine well the hd is on its way out.

and for the speed thing, just look at the speeds your drive says it supports on that media...

 

I 15:34:33 Destination Media Type: DVD-R DL (Disc ID: MKM 01RD30) (Speeds: 4x)

 

It's also shown in the disc info panel on the right as 'Supported Write Speeds'.
