me, muttering to myself as I create an ImgBurn Forums account: *"you know what's going to happen, right? the moment you try to recreate the issue for evidence and screenshots for your post, it's going to magically start working. You know that, right?"
ImgBurn, the moment I hit Burn after creating the account: Operation Completed Successfully! :3
It burned two DVD-RW discs just fine. It burned one CD-RW disc just fine. I went to burn a second CD-RW disc, and witnessed the baffling error:
Failed to write sectors -150 - -119 - Reason: Command Sequence Error
It was trying - and failing, unsurprisingly - to write to sectors which do not exist. Discs start at sector ZERO. They do not, my dear ImgBurn, start at negative one hundred and fifty. Yeah I'm not surprised you had issues with burning to the first 32 sectors of non-existent space.
I looked through all my settings and could not find anything. I tried three different discs and it did not work. I wondered if the image I was using could be fucked up, so I went back to the image I burned to the first CD-RW, it did not work. I erased the discs, both Quick and Full erasures. It did not work.
Except this time, I did a Quick Erase, go to attempt the burn again, and it just worked? Like. I don't know. Maybe ImgBurn got into some weird null state but after enough time and enough attempts it just started working properly again?
I wonder why we as a society have moved away from burnable optical media.
