Already tried that one thanks. But I can't find the IMAPI service in windows 7. I tried checking it on google but couldn't find answers on how to access this IMAPI in windows 7.

From all accounts on the Net, ImgBurn is about the best program for burning CDs and DVDs. However I found its GUI very difficult to master. The same sources on the Net also stated that Burnaware free version is the second best program. I then tried that and found that it does an excellent job and has an easy and most intuitive GUI.

I have used Burnaware since then and last year I upgraded to their shareware version. I have no complaints but only praises for this program

Burn Speed

Already tried that one thanks. But I can't find the IMAPI service in windows 7. I tried checking it on google but couldn't find answers on how to access this IMAPI in windows 7.

I have found several suggestions for fixes for your problem:

1. Change the burn speed (i.e. set it to a lower speed).
2. Use a different brand of disc.
3. Clean the optical drive.
4. The imapi fix.

I'd try setting the burn speed to 1x.

In Windows 7 imapi seems to be run by "explorer.exe" (I used the "Find" tool in "Process Explorer").

Kill "explorer.exe" and then restart it

Option 1
Open the "Task Manger" and kill "explorer.exe" and then restart it.
Choose "New Task (Run...)" and type "explorer.exe".

​

If you have "Process Explorer" you can simply right click on "explorer.exe" in the process list and choose "Restart"

​

Option 2
Try rebooting your PC with the blank disc in the drive.

I'm not sure what you found difficult about ImgBurn's GUI.
It seems self-explanatory.

It's not the wizard that's complicated. It's the dozens of options. Many categories of options have more than one Tab full of them. I've been using Imgburn for quite awhile. But the options are a bit daunting. It's best to follow a guide changing the default options only if there's a reason, until you know what's up with a category of burn.

Often power calibration error is it doesn't like the media. After several different brands are tried using a disc info tool to make sure they aren't really all from the same factory, then a firmware update or backing off to an older Imgburn release may be the only options. Now and then it may find a burner it doesn't like.

Fair enough

That's the same problem that a lot of programs/tools have (e.g. video codecs).

Agreed.

One of my friends tried to burn a disc (Windows PE-type disc) it wouldn't burn correctly, unless it was burnt at the lowest speed.

I generally use RW discs, so that if the burning "goes pear shaped" I haven't lost anything.

As compared to ImgBurn interface just have a look at BurnAware interface.

​

Can there be anything simpler.

 

[Zyrandiel]

Hey guys, thanks for the for all the info. I'll use BurnAware from now on too. But After trying again and again with ImgBurn last night I gave up and try Burning with Windows and I got this error:





How can I update my DVD-ROM's firmware?

 

[lehnerus2000]

IMO, if the operation fails with different programs (Windows and ImgBurn) it is likely to be a hardware error (e.g. a dirty lens component failure) or low quality media.

• Go to the manufacturers website.
• Search using your drive's model number.
• Remember to get the driver that corresponds to your version of W7 (32-bit or 64-bit).

Hey guys, I just burned the ISO file successfully using BurnAware! Thanks wanchoo for referring that software

But I still have to update my DVD-ROM's firmware. Thanks you guys...

 

[wanchoo]

You are welcome. I am happy that you liked Burnaware.

Be aware anytime you update firmware there's a risk of turning your hardware into a paperweight. I would research it and see if the manufacturer has any way to undo an update or at least get a copy of the firmware that's on there now.

I updated the firmware on a DVD burner but I waited until that release was out for awhile and kept searching for problems. After the release was out for a couple of months and I didn't see any squawks about hosed hardware, then I went for it.

Generally unless there's going to be something improved that makes it worth the risk, I don't update. Certainly not just to "have the latest" code.
