How do you figure it's 2352 bytes per sector? I'm just curious. I have seen mentions of 2048 bytes per sector for CD discs on various forums and other places. For the disc I used in my example the reported size is 434108416 bytes and number of sectors is 211967. That comes out to 2048 bytes per sector. I'm no expert, but that would seem fitting for an ISO file? I know nothing about sessions, tracks and indexes. So in regard to these details it may be more fitting to use BIN/CUE files.
That’s just what CDDA is. Check the MMC specs for optical drives and the various types of sectors used for what can be stored on a CD.
Please just take it from me that the program is telling the truth. Don’t attempt to read an audio disc to a single file that you’ve given the ‘iso’ extension to. It won’t work... in anything.
Bin/cue is very common for anything CD related. Bin/cue can be mounted in lots of virtual drive programs (the main one is / was Daemon Tools).
Virtual CloneDrive is by the same people that made CloneCD, hence why it supports CCD/IMG instead, rather than Bin/cue.
A virtual drive program that can fully process a bin/cue combo and emulate an optical drive/disc with it will be usable in the same way as if you had the original disc in a real optical drive.

An ISO is dumb. It's a basic 2048 bytes per sector (purely 'user data') dump of the disc. It knows nothing of sessions, tracks, indexes etc and is always assumed to be single session, single track.
Audio discs are complex. 2352 bytes per sector and you have the option of multiple tracks and multiple index points. That's why BIN/CUE is used. The CUE file is required for all of the extra info about the disc and the BIN is a 2352 bytes per sector dump of the disc. Without the CUE, your BIN file is useless - do not delete it.
ImgBurn can also create a CCD file - which is very similar in function to the CUE file. VirtualCloneDrive doesn't actually (fully) support BIN/CUE, which is why ImgBurn can make CCD/IMG - VCDs native format.

Post the log please.
Chances are, you're trying to erase a disc that can't be erased. Only rewritable discs can be erased, not your standard CD-R/DVD-R/DVD+R/BD-R.
-
No. I've been very busy for the past 6 or 7 years
The version with that in will be released one day. Definitely this year.

Sorry, no. ImgBurn can't help you with this.
You've basically made a multisession disc.
ImgBurn can send the commands to close tracks, sessions, discs etc.... but they're only useful for when those commands didn't work the first time around.
Your disc has been left unfinalised and with a new session open (that you can add data to) on purpose. The only way to finalise it is to add more data to it (again, can't be done with ImgBurn) and then ensure it's closed/finalised - do not let the software make yet another new session.
It might just be easier to make a new disc. Use ImgBurn in build mode, add your MP3 files and burn.
-
You could try enabling the 'Perform OPC Before Write' option in the settings to see if that helps.
Failing that, if your drive can't seem to burn the discs you're (MID/Disc ID: MBI 01RG40) using, try some different ones.

The program reads the sectors in chunks. When the drive returns an error, it drops down to reading them 1 at a time so it can pick out the bad one.
What’s happened here is that the drive errored out when reading the chunk, but then succeeded to read them all when doing it 1 by 1.
I would the disc has the potential to be unreliable. Maybe do a stand-alone verify on it and see if the drive fails to read it again in those same locations. -
If you’re trying to burn an XP install CD, why aren’t you following the XP guide instead of the Vista+ one?
How to create a Windows XP installation disc (bootable) using ImgBurn.

That drive is a dvd writer, not a BD writer.
It only ‘reads’ bd-roms.
-
I've checked the code and can't see any obvious way to silence those I'm afraid.
-
You're going to need a drive that can overburn DVD+R DL media in order to burn that disc.

The screenshots you've posted suggest the images are larger than you say they are.
Take a screenshot of the main window once you've loaded the image in Write mode please.
-
Yes, unless your drive is broken, you should have no problem writing to them (subject to normal disc quality issues).
Do not attempt to erase or format them before use. Take one out of the packet, fire up ImgBurn and try to burn that image again.
-
That looks like a CD-R, you can't erase / format it.
Use a new disc.
-
Please try the following...
Tools -> Settings -> 'Read' tab -> Page 2 -> Disc Layout Method -> Change 'Blu-ray' to 3-1-2.
Then try using Read mode to read the disc again.
ImgBurn will be in control of read then and not the OS, meaning you can perform more retries / skip bad sectors etc.
Post the log when you hit a problem spot, have retried a few times and are about to give up (if it comes to that).
-
I've already answered your email about this.
Feel free to bring the conversation here instead if you prefer.
-
Correct. ImgBurn exe stayed the same, just the installer changed.
-
Is it a DVD Video disc or is it something else? The only things I ever really saw that were oversized were xbox360 images.
-
Have you actually tried to burn it and the program has told you it won't fit?
-
How did you burn the discs in the first place?
Put one of them in the drive and open ImgBurn in Write mode.
Now please copy and paste everything from the box on the right of the main window.
-
It's probably just down to the media you're using.
Although you say they're Verbatim discs, I'm afraid they're the wrong ones.... perhaps the 'value' range? Yours use the CMC MID/dye rather than the MCC/MKM one. Look for the 'Azo' label on Verbatim media and avoid their value range.
If you get the decent stuff and the drive still errors out, you'll have to invest in a new drive.
-
Maybe... yes.
Use Read mode to make an image of the disc.
Mount that image using any method available to you and the OS you’re running. Either directly in Explorer or via a virtual drive program. -
You’ll have to do as it says.
Go into build mode, change the output to image file, put the drive letter of your optical drive in the source box (D:\ or whatever) and then build your new image. -
If that status is accurate, your drive is returning ‘medium not present- tray closed’ at the point when you abort. So, it hasn’t detected the disc in the drive.
Sounds like a fault with the drive to me. Is the tray locked and stopping you from just ejecting / reinserting manually? The would be better than aborting and starting a manual verify operation.
Make ISO image file of Audio CD?

Not where ImgBurn is concerned, no.
BIN/CUE is what ImgBurn started off supporting for CD images. I added support for CCD purely so people had the option of using VirtualCloneDrive instead of DAEMON Tools.
Yes, you should always point the tools at the info files (CUE/CCD/MDS etc) rather than the data files (BIN/IMG/MDF). Otherwise, you're just giving them a load of data without any info on how to interpret it.
