You are right LIGHTNING UK!. I clicked the wrong row, and thats why it came up. Now I got it right. Thanks for guiding me!

[i am now attempting to backup a DVD of a famous movie.] This is with reference to the "End of the World Problem" which occurs when you attempt to burn to a dual layer DVD, and ImgBurn cannot find the layer break. A solution to the problem is offered here at: http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=6376 But this solution is outdated as the VobBlanker screens differ from what is given in the above tutorial. Notably 6. Press the button 'Split'. This will bring up the 'Cell Split Mode' window. Please look it up in the tutorial as I am not allowed to use that image in this community. But the current versions of VobBlanker look like this: Tutorial at this point says: When you want to set the split point for a new cell - press the button 'Mark' and the split point will be added. But now we have to deal with two Mark Buttons - Initial Mark and End Mark. What do we do? I chose the same sector(rel) value for both. And when I followed the rest of the steps (press OK button, followed by the APPLY button, and then the PROCESS button, I get the following warning in my log file: (even as it is processing) WARNING: Ini and end mark are the same: outputting a blank cell and then when its all over, it says: (the last lines of the log file) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Adjusting sectors Done OK PostCommands changed into Precommands in 0 PGCs of a total of 0 Finished. No Errors, 1 Warnings, 0 Notes --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now when I launch ImgBurn, I first get this message: (initial checks indicate the image you are attempting to build may be too big to fit on the target DVD media. Do you want to continue anyway? [ I did not get this message the first time I loaded up ImgBurn. It directly gave me the "end of the world" message.]) And when I press "Yes", I get the following message: Back to the end of the world problem!

Thanks for the information Cynthia. Yes the rates are comparable in India. I only wish the 1 TB Ext HDD prices will also plummet. Its been the same for almost 2 years. I am well aware of the floods in Thailand. But I hope now that the situation has improved, the prices will plummet. Lets keep our fingers crossed, and see what happens !

Yes Cynthia, I agree with you. I think the price in India of DD3 RAM @ 1333 Mhz is around $40. How much is it in the USA or Europe ? By the way, is there a difference between Laptop RAM and Desktop RAM ? I see advertisements to that effect. Also does adding too much RAM slow down the system, I have heard some people say so. I have a dual core i3 each at 2.35 Ghz, can it handle 6 GB RAM, without it being slowed down owing to too much of RAM ?

Thank you Cynthia. I am at present using Windows 7 Home Basic. If I decide to upgrade to Home Premium, which means I will be able to have all the Aero Effects, then may be an upgrade would be essential to maintain speed. What do you think ? Otherwise, I agree it would be unnecessary.

By the way, this one is not related to ImgBurn, as already mentioned I have 3 GB of RAM installed. Would I see an appreciable improvement in performance, if I upgraded to 4 GB ? Being a heavy user with multiple firefox browser windows open with multiple tabs per browser (25-50), I often find my system slows down terribly, especially when using youtube. It takes several seconds, sometimes 10-20 seconds, to switch between browser windows. Will an extra 1 GB make any difference or should I add 2-3 GBs ?

Thanks ianymaty and dbminter for your responses.

I am a heavy computer user and watch youtube videos regularly while burning backups to double layer DVDs (Verbatim). Often there are several videos buffering while I watch and enjoy one of them. Will ImgBurn work properly under these circumstances or will it lead to improper or incorrect burns ? My Laptop Specs Processor : Intel Core i3 CPU dual core M 380 @ 2.53 GHZ each RAM : 3 GB -- Usable : 2.87 GB OS : Windows 7 -- 64 bit

Hi guys, I just converted an AVI file into DVD Player readable format(having AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS folders) using DVD Flick. Now I want to burn them into a DVD-R disc to play it in a DVD Player. I would like to know what are the settings I should set in ImgBurn prior to burning.
