is shrink the best method to create an iso file? i created one using the old unspeakable instructions that uses dvd shrink, saved the file to try and got imgburn to work for the first time, just do not know how i did it. sure was fast, was thrilled to get it to fly for the first time.

well howdy, i am still having fun with it, had to use the old unmentionable with shrink and was able to get it to work after all the setting instrucitions which was cool to find. tried to set up my img but still cannot quite figure it out , i almost think i can do it soon, saw some setting info, but just do not have img exe in the program files no matter how i look and reboot etc.... i keep reading and will get closer to it soon, you were right about the your above mention, but as a ruby red newbie i did not even know what an iso even was at the time and was overwhelmed by being just lost. after using the instructions, all 40 or so vector steps, i got the settings and put in shrink as someone said and after a few got it to wiggle and actually work like in the pictures which after what seemed like years of consternation and work finally to do it. cant wait to let you know i got img to work for me one of these days. got to say that you all were most amenable and decent to the old farmer, did not mean to be clumsy as per one who seemed a bit perturbed with the old farmer, i aam most greatful.

will do right away--checked all the messages and will follow all advice and info. looks like shrink will really help me figure it out. all or your image info is just great. i would like to say thankyou all for taking the time to help me with images. its hard for a newbie to figure it all out. it is kind of fun to get to it and make it work out, will know soon enough. it did take me a bit to follow up and understand the advice etc.. did not mean to upset the forum in any way, will try to do things right......

OK i left some more info on the site, lets say i have a dvd movie. what is the first thing i do to make an image that imgburn will accept? i have tried movies already on file, for some reason roxio recognizes them and i can get a good burn off of it, i think i made it with dvd dycrpter which is just great. nero image would not. just trying to figure out how to use imgburn. it is the file issue. i dropped down the file and tried all files with no luck. when i put a blank in my burner i got the write button to light up, when i hit it i got an error message about the fact that i would make a nice coaster!! do not know how to make an iso file i guess. i am sure it is my fault ........... #39;(

Like I asked a while ago, if you had answerd the above question, you could have been burning by now. you are right about that!! yes i can see that the problem is my storage of the movies. not sure what i am doing yet. it takes me a while to catch on to the format and the files--and embarassing enough what you are all telling me. but i peck away at it, all you say starts to make sense. yes it is the file storage, i tried the all files , but it would not recognise, then someone said somthing about the roxio and it worked in that program which i though i would never use. see not below, and please dont give up on me. :&

hello again, well if i understand you all rightly, i just do not know how to record a dvd in a file that the image burn will recognize, i was able to pull a file into roxio and then burn it - got the idea from your feedback as i was trying everything. when i play a dvd movie, how do i leave it in a file that image burn will take? everything is just as you said, i tried that all files switch etc but as you said they are not iso....... so i just dont store them right. i tried fab express which worked well on some burns, but then suddenly a bunch of dual layer discs got the sparkles and the jerkys. movie back ups work the best by storing the images then burning them.....when a movie is stored in my drive, not sure how i did it, i think dvddycrypter, then it seems that roxio will recognize and burn them, just cant get image burn to do it yet--which i think is a better program. i thought that fabexpress was the cats meow until the failures started. i have the disc space to store the decrypted movies, then figure out how to burn them the best. seems that the expensive dual layers blanks seem to work with the best final picture result.

Maybe he/she are just checking on their herd of celery sticks............... Would be nice if Farmer came back even just to let us know everything was alright now. herding the wombats is no easy task when they get stuck in the celery fields ----thats for sure!!!! sure appreciate your followup. well i am stuck. just do not know what i am doing wrong. i am new at this so it is probably my fault. yup i really am a farmer, got tomatos and watermelons going at the time, best maters you ever had!!! when i open up image burn it looks good. i put a blank in my plextor external drive and i get the arrow/disc thing to lite up. when i press it it wants my source. i go to source up above and hit the icon, there are my files, i go to file sitting there - hostel - and touch it, but it wont open or go to the bottom so it will do whatever it is supposed to do of which i am not sure. tell me this, how do you make an image if you have a dvd that i can put in the internal drive? i c ould try that i guess. i really do not know how image burn works. i was told that you need decrypter loaded which i do, not sure what else i need to make it work. i hear its great!!!

Possibly but if it works with DVDD it'll work with ImgBurn. sure do appreciate the feedback. well i loaded up imageburn like i said. but it wont do anything for me, i unloaded and loaded it again, but same thing. i have 2 movies in my files. where it says -please select a file - i touch the file,my file window opens, i find the movie in there, try but it will not open. wont go into the que or recognize the source, if i put a blank disc in the plextor, the right side fills up with the plextor info, notes the blank disc, and the left side drive-arrow-disc lights up. when i touch the write arrow, my file window comes up, i highlite and then hit open, but nothing happens, file name stays blank. the problem seems to be the source recognition, probably something simple. maybe i am forgetting to do somthing basic, is there supposed to be another program to use with image burn? thanks again for your thoughts and time

I AM NEW AT THIS, I DOWNLOADED IMAGE BURN, BUT CANNOT GET THE FILE TO GO INTO QUE TO WRITE. SAYS MEDIUM NOT PRESENT. IT WORKS WITH THE OLD DECRYPTER.... I AM USING MODERN COMPUTER, WITH XP. --HAVE HIT THE BROWSE BUTTON , LOCATE THE FILE I WANT , BUT IT WONT OPEN/ IMAGE JUST WONT RECOGNIZE FROM THE SOURCE. ANY HELP WOULD BE GREAT.
