How can you tell the dye manufacturer from that log? Anyway, yes they are TDK. At least I could see that bit and I'll be real pissed off if they are fake. I might as well go back to Tesco's own brand at one third the price. At least they work. I've not tried to burn one of those with ImgBurn, only Nero. I'll try one of those and see what happens. Cheers, Pilot.

Hi Cornholio, This may seem stupid, but a log of what and where do I find it. Pilot.

Hi Kevdriver, No, it's the other way round. My stand alone plays Nero DVDs fine. It's the one I just created with ImgBurn that it doesn't recognise. Cheers, Pilot

I'm not going mad I've just noticed that da Clown has edited the post. Thank God for that. Cheers, Pilot.

This is really doing my head in. I've just gone back up to da Clown's original post and his image is now full size and perfectly readable. When I first looked at the post it was a thumbnail and even blown up was as shown in my posted image. What is going on? I'm going to bed. Cheers, Pilot.

I'm more confused than ever. Despite the error message I got (see image I posted) when I followd da Clown's suggestion, the DVD played perfectly on my PC using Nero Showtime, but when I tried to play it in my free standing DVD player it reported "No Disc". It is 4 a.m. here and my brain isn't working too well, but this is beyond me Cheers, Pilot

Hi again Kevdriver, The VIDEO_TS folder was created by DVD Shrink and is 4.35 GB. Using Nero BurningRom this fits easily on a 4.7GB DVD. I noticed when using ImgBurn that the file size was 4.68GB. This is pushing it to fit on a single layer disc. Why the discrepancy? Regards, Pilot.

Thanks Kevdriver, I'll try that. In reply to da Clown, this is what I got when I blew up your image. Regards to you both, Pilot.

Hi Clown, Yes I did and still couldn't make out the detail. BTW, what you suggested failed and I don't know why. Cheers, Pilot

Hi Clown, Thanks for your reply. I'm trying that now. BTW, the image you posted was unreadable, even when blown up, I suggest you resize your image to that for 15 inch monitor then post the image for Forum 1. I've attached a pic of ImgBurn doing what your suggested. Cheers, Pilot.

Hi Cornholio, With Nero BurningRom I simply burn the VOB and IFO files to the DVD. Am I right in assuming that with ImgBurn I first have to create an ISO file on my hard drive using the Build Mode then burn this to the DVD using the Write Mode, cos all the guides seem to be about create ISO files or am I missing something? Cheers, Pilot.

Hi Cornholio. Another question for you that I haven't been able to find the answer to. I've ripped a DVD to my hard drive and it's now there as IFO and VOB files in VIDEO_TS. I've usually burnt these to DVD with Nero BurningRom, but I've recently been having problems with Nero. How do I do it with ImgBurn? All I can find out is how to convert these files to an ISO file and that's not what I want; I simply want to copy the VOB and IFO files. Sorry if I'm being thick. Thanks, Pilot.

Hi again I thought I had checked the "Write" option. In fact, when I restarted Imgburn and selected "Mode", "Write" was already checked. Anyway, I've rerun it and it's worked this time so I must have done something wrong. Thanks for your help. Regards, Pilot.

There's always one Thanks for your welcome. Regards, Pilot

Thanks Cornholio. I worked Regrds, Pilot

Thanks for that. I'll give it a go. Regards, Pilot

Hi, I want to use my own Avatar but can't find out how. On other forums there is an option to upload personal files but here I can only find an option to upload from a URL. Can anyone tell me how to do this? Many thanks.

Hi, I'm a newcomer to Imgburn so forgive my ignorance. I've seen several topics on how to burn .VOB and .IFO files to an .iso file, but how do you do the reverse? I've just burnt an .ISO file to a DVD and all I got on the DVD was the original .ISO file. I expected AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS folders. Regards, Pilot
