I have been using ImgBurn for a few years now, and today have a problem with it. I created an iso file (a bootable disk) from a folder that holds the files from an earlier copy of the CD I am making changes to. When I did a binary compare of the files on the two CDs, many of the files showed up with differences. I opened the new iso file with IsoBuster and see that some of the LBAs (starting sector numbers) of the files are 0. I think the option to 'optimise duplicate files' has (correctly) identified these files as duplicates, but has incorrectly set the LBA to 0 instead of the first copy of the file. I need this option because my iso file has to fit on a CD and won't fit without eliminating the duplicates. There were no errors in the ImgBurn log, but I've attached it anyway. imgBurn.log Don

I ran it again to collect a log and the other info you asked for -- and this time it was successful! I think the other times must have been bad disks, my colleagues may have put used DVDs back onto the spindle. For the record, the previous imgburn attempts tonight wouldn't even start burning, the 'burn' button was grayed out. Roxio did start to record, but aborted immediately. The media is "Imation DVD+R 8x" (RicohJPN-R02). I've attached the log from the successful burn anyhow. DonImgBurn_060406_2217.log

I have an iso file that is too large for a CD (it's about 730MB and will continue to grow). Can I just put a DVD blank into my DVD burner and write it, or does the iso file have to be 'different' to write to a DVD? I have already tried several times to burn the image to a DVD and just keep getting errors, but I can't tell if that is just 'bad blanks' or if it just won't work. The iso file contains data files, and was created using Bart Lagerweij's BCD.cmd 'program' ( http://www.nu2.nu/bcd/ ). TIA, Don
