sandiegophil Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 i am trying to close a TDK DVD-RW disc after having burned an ISO image, and am getting a failure. no logfile was generated, but the dialog I get is attached. can you "close" a DVD-RW disc?

I then tried close disc and it failed in the same way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 If you don't/haven't closed the log window then you can just copy + paste everything from it. That log window is designed to be left open all the time. It's an integral part of the program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an integral part of the program. i already closed the log window, but I re-launched the application and tried what a previous post said - close track, close session and close disc -- same error, got this log.

LIGHTNING UK! Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 You can access saved logs via the 'Help' -> 'ImgBurn Logs' menu option. btw, you have an old version of ImgBurn installed. You should update to the latest one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LIGHTNING UK! Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Use some decent discs. Rewritables aren't any good at the best of times... stick to DVD-R or DVD+R. Verbatim / Taiyo Yuden discs will give you your best chance at a successful burn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remove any disc and close the tray before updating, then reboot after it has finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LIGHTNING UK! Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 ImgBurn always closes/finalises the disc when it burns. It's not something you need to do manually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
