    IFO/FILE MODE !!

    in ImgBurn Suggestions

    Posted

    It becomes more and more clear to me from reading many posts that this utility will sorely be used to burn/write discs/images!

     

    yup .the clue was in the title ImgBURN

    However, it doesnt hurt to request for a IFO / FILE mode support in the future to decrypt/demux vob files from already burned discs if that isnt possible already!!!

    kabster,

     

    correct , it doesnt hurt to ask

    back to basics

     

    an ISO is just a handy container for almost all image files

     

    to be DVD compliant the files within the ISO have to be VOBS,IFOs,BUPS ect ect

     

    Imgburn will build you a dvd and burn it if you only have the VOBS,IFOs,BUPS files ( or just create an ISO of it onto your hdd for you if you choose)

     

    in WRITE mode it will burn any ISO's you have on your hard drive to a disc

     

    BUILD mode eliminates the need of having to create an ISO to your HDD before you can burn it to disc

     

    Build mode will either create a dvd compliant disc ( providing all the required files are there to start with, OR it will create a DATA disc of any kind of files you want or have , but if they aint DVD structure compliant to start with, ImgBurn wont convert them.

     

    If yoiur struggling timewise with convertxtodvd try something else, personally i find it the fastest encoder there is . i also use ImgBurn to burn the disc in BUILD like LOCOENG does.

     

    I have to agree with you, the GUIDES section in the online support is not very good . it didnt even tell me how to switch my computer on before i chose one of the ELEVEN !!! guides to use :rolleyes:

     

    go read this page GUIDES PAGE ----- CLICK HERE and all will be revealed

     

    PS. dont forget to switch your PC on first , as the guides dont tell you that bit :wink:

    MD5 file created for only one of my disk copies

    in ImgBurn Support

    Posted

    you only really need the MD5 file when its a file larger than 4.35GB ( dual layer media)

    this is because the MD5 will contain the info for the layer break.

     

    Its not vital, because if your files to big for a DV5 disc, and there isnt a suitable layer break , ImgBurn will tell you or suggest what to do about it anyway

     

    curiosity, how large was your "smallest" file that gave you an MD5 ?

    I/O Error!

    Its your media ,I 01:32:33 Destination Media Type: DVD-R (Disc ID: CMC MAG. AE1) (Speeds: 2x, 4x, 8x)

     

    pure garbage im afraid .

    Its that bad that the burner that just wrote to it cant even read the disc back

     

    get some Taiyo yudens or verbatims

    Thanks Donta , i did check that when installing and your correct, they come set as a sata 1 drive.

     

    i left mine at that as there's some doubt wether the icybox will work as sata 2 . but I will experiment as the days go on.

     

    managed to back up 17gb onto it so far :thumbup: , only another 140Gb to get back to where i was last week LOL

    both tests done using a specialist program running for 1 minute on the same laptop with anti virus running

    apparently its normal for a sata2 drive to show as a scsi drive ( acc to some ms site i checked on)

     

    so for anyone considering a faster option on a laptop, this appears to be the answer ( for the time being)

    pcmcia e-Sata card + Sata2 hard drive + external case with both e-Sata and USB 2 ports

     

    for a comparison , heres the results of my 2 internal drives on the same laptop

    this is the drive with the OS on it

    product = 400 GB Seagate ST3400620AS Barracuda 7200.10, SATA II, 7200 rpm, 16MB Cache, 8.5 ms

     

    i paid 56.27 from here scan

     

    ebuyer wants 104.27 almost DOUBLE !!!! ebuyer

     

    and there was me thinking ebuyer was a cheap supplier !!! Just goes to show, you HAVE to shop around.

     

    dare say i could have found it even cheaper but i got a few other things from there as well . 1 lot of shipping costs :thumbup:

    OK, before you trap off anymore

     

    the help here is given by volunteers who are spread around the world. you may be in a differant time zone to anyone who can help you, so be patient and wait for replies.( what country are you in ? )

     

    No one in here will insult you for trying to learn

     

    regarding attatching the log in your first post, it appears that you attatched the "failure" sound file and NOT the log file you was asked for .

    to get the log file window up ( if its not already visible) , in the main ImgBurn window , select the "VIEW" button then click on "LOG" , then another window will appear " the log file" window.

     

    when its opened hit the "FILE" button, then the "OPEN" button and browse to log of a failed attempt

    copy and paste all that it says into your next post.

     

    regarding what Polo has already advised

     

    hit the "MODE" button across the top of the main window , choose "WRITE" from the sub menu , then copy and paste all the info that appears in the right window pane, and anything that appears in the "LOG" window ( i mentioned it above how to view the log window)

    the update !!

     

    spent far to long searching for an icybox/dock that suits :rolleyes:

     

    after reading the replies above, i wanted

    sata hdd with no size limit ( sizes are limited at 330GB on many icy models)

    esata and usb 2 connectivity

    fan cooled box ( looks like icy have moved away from fans)

    swappable caddies ( again, limited to non fan cooled boxes)

     

    couldnt find one the same as LUK's anywhere either, apart from a robbing thieving bast on ebay

     

    only 1 place does the spare caddys as well as the boxes ive been looking at ( thanks for that one lmao2k :thumbup: )

    so the outcome is im going for a

    Icydock MB-599 ,

     

    but not from here, as its cheaper elsewhere

    with a spare caddy

    and 2 x 300gb+ sata I or II drives . or maybe a 500gb for the time being with another to follow after xmas

     

    NOW i need opinions on drives though ?

    currently looking at hitachi deskstar or seagate !

     

    thanks everyone for the response's as so far

    Having just lost a 160gb external drive im in need of a replacement.

     

    Im toying with the idea of an external drive ( already made as opposed to fitting a drive in an enclosure myself)

     

    i NEED the following features

    USB 2

    firewire 1394

    300gb + ideally a seagate .........only because i was led to beleive they are the best and have 5 year warranty

     

    whats throwing me though is eSATA drives .

    many modern external drives are mainly USB2 and eSATA , with the occasional one having firewire as well. but you pay a premium for a firewire connection on an ext hdd.

     

    would an external hdd drive ( this seagate model work well with this type of adaptoreSATA pcmcia card

     

    i dont expect to get 3gb transfer speeds, as no other pcmcia card adapter has ever matched a desktop equivalent. but if it beats USB 2 speeds that will do

    am i right in asuming i would be able to use it as a simple large hdd or does raid come into it at all .

     

    opinions and advice welcomed

    thanks
