jesperkb Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Hi there Im new to ImgBurn (used alcohol 120% before, but it got to buggy). I just started to burn my first img (see below). The burning process wont start, can it be true that has to "Writing LeadIn" for more than 11 min. ?? Aborted the burn, and the prg. is still running and its now 20:19, the prg. responds, but it just says i "I heard u the first time" What to do, what to do.... thanks in advance I 19:39:59 ImgBurn Version 2.4.2.0 started!

LIGHTNING UK! Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 I/O on your machine has got stuck, all you can do is pull the plug. As your drive is only an 8x burner, I would suggest you stick to 8x speed discs. A firmware update might fix the issue you're having at burning those 16x speeds discs at 4x, but then maybe 8x would work just fine without the need for an update. Check with whoever made your laptop to see if any updates are available for the drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cornholio7 Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 your drive only supports 4x and 8x with the current firmware Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jesperkb Posted January 13, 2009 Author Share Posted January 13, 2009 Hmm the burn was succesful, havnt tested it on dvd player, but works fine on my laptop. So im just gonna do it at 2x speed in the future...thx for ur help guys. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Seriously, 2x doesn't exist! I 19:41:05 Destination Media Type: DVD+R (Disc ID: YUDEN000-T03-00) (Speeds: 4x; 8x) If you select anything except 4x or 8x the drive will just semi-ignore the speed I tell it and select the closest one from those 2.

freekie Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Im having the same problems... Aside from wasting some about 10 dvd's it also makes my system unstable. The dvd wont eject, unless i hard boot. Appart from not starting to write the software sometimes warns me that it does not have sole access to the dvd... I've tried writing on 1x, 2x, 2.4x, 4x, 6x and 8x. but all i get is this: I 16:41:41 ImgBurn Version 2.4.2.0 started!

Cynthia Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Hi and welcome to the forum, freekie! By wrong in I/O-apparaat donot can carry out the task. It's a SATA writer, so I would suspect the connection/chip set drivers. It's a laptop you are using? Latest chip set drivers installed? Also that media brand can have a various quality lewel. Have you tried with another brand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freekie Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Hiya Cynthia, Yep, using a laptop, got the latest firmware and tried different media. Strangest thing is that not every iso has the same effect.... I can burn one iso with zero delay... and then the next iso won't start for over an hour... sometimes even 2,5 hours... It sometimes gives me a warning saying imgburn can't gain exclusive acces to the drive, and then the next has no probs... Wasted another few dvd's... My whole system also gets a little... well more then a little... unstable. So what could be the problem? Thnx, Freekie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmalves Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Make sure you have the latest drivers available for your chipset (you can probably find this at the manufacturer's website). Also please post your Filter Driver Load Order (look in ImgBurn's Tools menu). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
