Unable to properly burn .img files

Recommended Posts

I have a mf baxter dvd duplicator (for the record, these are not Mac .img files) and when I set it to duplicate one or multiple DVD discs to my PC, it saves them with a .img extension. I tried burning this with imgburn (imgburn opens and burns them, but the resulting disc is unreadable), alcohol, nero, cloneCD, but the only program that can open/burn these .img files is magiciso. But I would like to be able to burn .img files with Imgburn. Any ideas?

Well, you could use a hex editor - something like hexworkshop.

 

Or if you can use the command prompt (cmd.exe), use this: http://download.imgburn.com/grab5m.zip

 

Usage : GRAB5M

 

i.e.

 

Extract to a folder called 'grab5m' in the root of c:

 

Open a command prompt window.

 

Change the grab5m folder by typing:

 

CD \grab5m

 

Then type:

 

grab5m "c:\my_odd_img_file.img" "c:\5mb_of_image.img"

 

Zip/RAR up the '5mb_of_image.img' file and email it to me.

Ok, I've added another 'fallback' search to determine the image file format if the other attempts fail.

 

It now loads the image ok, but will only work properly if the image is a 'basic' one (i.e. single session, single track). If it's not, it'll be burnt as one anyway.

does that mean in the next version of imgburn, the image will burn properly?
