I have a i/oMagic internal DVD burner (brand new) and am trying to backup my DVDs, but have been unable to successfully do so. I've tried to err on the side of too much info rather than too little.
I used Folder2Iso to create the *.iso file, and then tried to write the image using ImgBurn (1.3.0)
My first burn gave me a blue screen of death, and my second burn failed. The third burn I had was complete but I was unable to play the DVD in either of my drives on my computer, or in my DVD player. I came to the forums for some help, read the FAQ (and was able to fix the incredibly slow write speeds, thanks!), but I have been unable to find any old posts that deal with my exact problem. For my fourth burn, I tried to follow all of the advice on the forums, but it was still unsuccessful.
As a newbie to all of this, I'm not sure what the problem is but I have some guesses.
First, the ISO file is writing all of the files straight to the DVD, rather than putting them into a VIDEO_TS folder. I feel like this could be the problem, but I didn't read of anyone else having any problems like this and I feel like it would have come up if it was a common error. (Whenever I put it in my DVD drive, the auto-play response is to open a window with the *.ifo, *.vob, and *.bup files. I am unable to play it using DVD-player software.)
Second, it could just be my discs are bad (they're CMC, apparently), but I don't feel like that would be the only problem, since the burned DVDs won't even play on my computer. They are HP DVD+R DL discs, I'll go get some Verbatim tomorrow.
Third, despite setting the Book Type to DVD-ROM in settings, the Book Type is still displayed as DVD+R DL by ImgBurn:
I don't really have any clue what could be the problem, but it's starting to upset me that I have to make two dollar coasters every time. Any advice would be appreciated.
Here is the log file if it is needed, but I'm not sure it is since the writes are successful and verified:
