ok, so i searched google and found this forum and someone else had the same problem i did. i tried to reply to that thread, but it wouldn't allow me to reply, so here is a link to the situation: http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=17249
i used DVD shrink (ive used it b4, except only burning it to the C: drive). this time i tried using the ISO option, and it took like 2 hours for everything to be completed (I was copying Tron, so i picked slowest speed for everything and no compression, etc.), so i know it finished copying everything.
anyways, the copying and encoding finishes finally, and now i can't find the file anywhere on my computer. ive tried searching for the file, and i've also tried enabling "show hidden files and folders", and it still doesn't show up. i also tried searching for it again after changing this option, and i also tried looking in Users_my namme_documents, and all that too.
What is going on here? I'm clueless as to what could have happened to the file.
