In a previous post concerning using IMBBRN and DVD Flick combination, I was told that IMGBRN always makes room for the files you a putting on (burning on) DVD. That is fine, but what about a dual layer disk? How does it (IMGBRN) know whether to go to the next layer? Do you have to tell it; by it I mean the software. Also, if I download a 30 minutes program made in the fifties (from Youtube) and burn only it to a single layer DVD it will take up all of the disk. What a waste of space! If I burn two 30 minutes programs on a single layer disk that is more efficient usage of the disk and I bet that I will suffer no loss of quality, and likewise if I burn three 30 minute programs. At some point the quality (image quality) starts to fall off since I am trying to squeeze a lot programs onto a 4.7 GB single layer disk. What is this point? I thought on a prerecorded store bought disk that a two hour color movie what about 4.7 GB or the space available on a single layer DVD blank. I am assuming that store bought DVD's have the highest quality images. I am not so sure now. My single layer DVD blanks say that for 1 hour of highest quality last fr only 1 hour on a single. I want high quality, but I want to avoid wasting space. You can never do better than the original quality of the program. Please help. Thanks in advance. Newport_j

I have been using IMGBRN and DVD Flick for a one month now and I am pleased with it. I am confused about one thing. I downloaded some files from Youtube Classic TV. They were short half hour TV episodes. They did not take up much hard drive disk space (about 50 MB of windows media player) when I downloaded them on a disk. I was very surprised to find that they used so much disk space converted them and burned them to a DVD! Of course they were converted, but a half hour show was now something like 4.5 GB after being converted to an ISO file. That is 100% the amount of space on a whole single layer DVD. Now they have yet to be burned so they are just 1 half hour episode to a single layer DVD? That just does not make sense. So it should take just one half hour show per single layer DVD disk? But, I could put at least 2 and sometimes 4 episodes on a single disk. It seems a pre-recored DVD has 2 hours of a space (enough for a single movie) on a single layer disk. A single layer DVD disk has 4.5 GB of space so it should take just a half hour show and then it is full! I like to burn at the highest quality, but that should allow for 2 hours for single layer disk. Can anyone explain what I am doing wrong? Newport_j

I was told in a reply that DVD Flick can convert files that are in incompatible formats and get them ready for DVD burning. It can do this; it also can burn the DVD. So then why do we have IMGBURN? DVD Flick can do it all? Newport_j

I usually download files from Youtube, which are either Windows Media Player, Quicktime or *.flv), but IMGBRN does not like them. They do not support them. So to use INGBRN what do I do? I cannot use these files in their native format. I guess I must convert them. But something is always lost in the conversion. Is their some trick to get INGBRN to accept them? Also, what is the difference betweeen IMGBRN and IMGBURN? Thanks in adcance. Newport_j

I am very new to IMGBRN. I just downloaded it and used it today. I was having trouble with the SONIC software that came with my system so I switched. I think that I know how to use it now. I have two questions though. First how do you determine the DVD output quality? In the Sonic software you are given a choice. The higher the quality the bigger the DVD space that is required. In fact, if you get to the highest quality for say a movie lasting 1.5 to 2 hours then to get the whole movie on one disk one must switch from a single layer to a dual layer disk. I am surprised about that because I have a lot of prerecorded disks that have a two hour movie and they are only single layer DVD's. The second question is very similar to the first. I could not burn a 1.75 hour movie to a single layer disk in SONIC software (for the highest quality DVD) and had to go to dual layer DVD burning. However, IMGBRN got the film on a single layer disk. Was the quality sacrificed by IMGBRN to get the movie all on a single layer DVD?
