LIGHTNING UK!

Oh, so your primera works now? Did you not have the same DLLs as in that guide anyway or did they send you newer dlls? You can only make a complete image of the disc (which is what an ISO is). It won't convert to mp4 / avi or anything like that.

So you'd just go into Read mode and enable the 'Batch Mode' checkbox at the bottom right of the main screen. The rest is automatic. It'll make ISO files based on the name of the disc, so hopefully they have different labels.

But yours doesn't work, so that isn't going to help!

Yes, I have the dlls, they're attached in the guide here on the forum. I know you didn't ask if I had a primera machine, but the dlls would be useless without one, so your actual question made no sense. No autoloader is any more capable that any other one where ImgBurn is concerned. ImgBurn can load and eject discs from all of them and then it's just a case of working with the drives - which is the same for all drives (in autoloaders or physically in your PC). It'll read discs and write them.

I don't have a primera machine here now, just an acronova nimbie and vinpower digital ripbox. My pimera was old and massive... but it did work!

I guess there isn't much you can do then if the dlls aren't working for your machine. It's a bit annoying though!

I'm pretty sure I've seen people in the past using it/them on machines with 2 drives. What happens in the software supplied with the machine? Does it work?

The disc is copy protected. Probably SafeDisc or Securom. Both were popular back in the day.

I have no control over the ad page you see, it's designed and inserted by them and their plugin.

I’m sure malwarebytes anti-malware will clear out most things.

and did you click on the big (advert) 'Click Here Download ImgBurn' one or the (correct) 'Click Here To Download' (just above the facebook stuff) button?

Can you take an image of the download page as you see it please? These things are region specific, so it doesn't work if I look. I spoke to the admin of the site a few weeks ago and he assured me the actual download is now exactly what I gave him - 100% clean. Maybe you clicked on an advert?

yes

That box of info scrolls... is there nothing below the last line you posted? Click in it and then press Ctrl+A to select all of the text. Ctrl+C to copy and then paste into a new reply please.

Please go into Read mode and copy + paste everything from the disc info box on the right when that disc is in the drive.

Do you not want the sub directories of the ones you're adding to the source box? That's the purpose of the 'recurse subdirectories' option. Under normal circumstances, it isn't something you'd turn off. I'd have picked up on it earlier, but I thought it might be a typo on your account. The setting I mentioned before was the 'preserve full pathnames' one. If you turn off 'recurse subdirectories', it'll skip any folders it finds in the folder you've added to the source box. The clue is in the exact text it logs when skipping. Yours would be showing 'Skipping Subfolder', correct?

Do you still have that folder on your drive? Give it a go I'd like to examine the image (ISO) containing such a folder, if you can make it really small and it isn't private.

If the folders are coming up as 'skipped' in the log, the program is doing so for a different reason. It's not related to the depth of the folder structure. Those settings are persistent - assuming you work with one copy of the app open. Settings are loaded when the program opens and saved when it's closed. So if you change it in one instance and then open another instance, it won't mirror the existing instance, it'll load the settings from the registry (or ini) again. The settings can be changed by loading a project. Yes, it's correct to assume the settings for a given file system are irrelevant if that file system isn't being used.

Not by design, no!

Yes, the MDS is a pointer to the real ISO file.

The MDS is a pointer to the actual ISO. It contains additional info - probably the layer break position in your case, and that's why it should be selected rather than the ISO itself. So even though the MDS is tiny, you're still actually burning all of the data from the ISO file. The program wouldn't normally recommend something that's wrong

Ooooh, you're doing this within ImgBurn? Sorry, I thought you were messing around with something else. *That* 'smart erase' is a LiteOn specific feature. The first 'smart erase' that popped into my head was the one used on SSD (and HDD) drives. It's an actual command in the specifications for those types of storage devices..

1. Forget ISO9660 and Joliet, they're old and aren't as good as UDF. UDF has been supported by Windows for years now, so there's no real reason not to use. v1.02 would be the most 'compatible', but if you're running Windows 7+ (which I'm sure you are), they have no problems with reading v2.50+. 2. Yes. You can fill one out and copy it to the others though. 3. 8 levels is only an issue with the normal ISO9660 file system. If you relax the restrictions, it won't be flagged up as an issue. There is no setting to ignore long paths when adding them to the source box, so I don't know what weird stuff you're doing there. Maybe something related to 'preserve full pathnames' ? The log window generally tells you about files that need to be renamed due to file system limitations (if they're an issue in the 'best' file system you're using anyway - UDF is classed as the best, then Joliet, then ISO9660). Keep an eye on it. It should log them when you 'calculate' and the renamed version is put after a '->' in the log entry. If in doubt about the settings, just revert to the default ones and simply modify the file system selection so it just says UDF. You shouldn't need to touch anything else really.

Topics merged. Nobody answered because you didn't really ask a question... or at least not one I could fully understand (and there were no question marks) - sorry, obviously English isn't your first language and your English is infinitely better than my Italian! (or possibly, Google Translate is very good at translating ) What do you actually want to know about ImgBurn? Anything? I see you mention the word 'finalize'... do you want to know if ImgBurn finalises discs? Yes, it does, always.
