Greetings, all...
I just downloaded ImgBurn - I have NOT installed it just yet. ImgBurn was recommended in a couple of forums while searching for an answer to my problem (via Google / keywords).
Bottom Line Simple Question: With ImgBurn, can I create a new ISO CD-R ("ISO-9660 file system without using Joliet"), and dump one silly little 36Mb file on it? (this is a 36 Mb file with the extension ".FRM")
I've already poured through the 20 "Guides" (backed them up / saved them to the Hard Drive, too). The answer doesn't seem to SPECIFICALLY be in the guides - also I am new to this, and the guides are a bit overwhelming (for now - after I get experience and do some research, I will understand them).
As YET, I am not that experienced at burning disks. I VAGUELY know what the difference is between ISO and UDP (to indicate my level of knowledge).
I back up files and stuff in Windows Vista using the native system ("Windows Live File System", and for my old antique DOS 6.22 computer; an old P-166 system for playing old DOS games, in the "Mastered" format - both are UDP format versus ISO). I MIGHT start getting more "into it" with ImgBurn; creating Music CDs, DVDs, etc... but for now, I have a critical need to do just this one thing.
My immediate problem, and the reason that I wanted this app for my system:
(1) I need to upgrade the firmware for my new shiny BluRay Disk Player (my FIRST BluRay Player - I've had it for two days now); from version 1.1 to the current version, 1.5.
(2) This is done by downloading the Firmware file from the Panasonic website (done already, about 36Mb, file extension is ".FRM", and downloaded the 8 page instructions in a .PDF file); and burning it to a CD-R in *** ISO-9660 file system without using Joliet ***
(3) I've already tried, on the off chance that it would work, under Vista using the "Mastered" file system. Mister Blu Ray just spits it out. Because apparantly, even using "Mastered", it is still a COPY OF A FILE on a UDF CD-R and the player wants an ISO CD-R.
(4) I've contacted Panasonic - they are mailing me a CD with the 1.5 firmware (should arrive in about a week), but in the meantime more firmware updates are inevitable as BluRay evolves - I want to be able to download and install the firmware updates myself. I would like to do this now with ImgBurn, if it will work, so i can "test the idea".
Under Windows XP, one can apparantly do this natively under Windows - the .PDF instructions from Panasonic say to download the .FRM file directly to the desktop (or download it and copy it to the desktop - I forget which); and -> click -> SEND TO -> the CD-R ; apparantly WinXP uses ISO 9660 when doing this. *Vista* does NOT.
Here are extracts from those .PDF instructions from Panasonic (copied and pasted):
