  1. It was bound to happen at I fully expected it.

     

    However, and as mmalves has already pointed out, the toolbar that's offered during the installation it 100% optional.

     

    The installer is NOT ImgBurn, ImgBurn is ImgBurn and that's exactly as it's always been.

     

    Geez, you'd think people have never seen them (toolbar offerings) before - and yet they're becoming more and more common. It's called 'business'.

     

    No problem from me...I READ the installer LOL!!!

     

    You should reply there though...don't want ImgBurn to get trashed for some stupid reason.

     

    Blah!!!

  2. So my father recorded some movies on this dvd recorder of we kids growing up...I do not want to redo it LOL

     

    problem is, he asked me to make some nice menus, this is ok to do....but he recorded a nearly a full dual layer worth of material. After I added the menus, etc there is no room left on the disc. Because of this ImgBurn says it cannot find a spot for a layer break and that I should cry LOL!!! I never fill so much of the space up, usually I goto 7300 meg. What can I do now? Do you think I can just use DVDShrink to reduce the size to 7300 to give ImgBurn some space to find a layer break?

     

    thanks in advance

  3. Imgburn has provided me with some options to set layer break....it has offered 2 "excellent" choices. These choise occur on a .bup file and a .ifo file. I have never seen this before...usually it is on a cell in the movie .vob. Is it ok to set the break on a .bup or .ifo file?

  4. Hmmmmmmmmmm.....that is interesting.

     

    Is there a way to have ImgBurn to this? That is, create a cuesheet with your audio, add a second session, and NOT load an ISO, just find out the LBA the ISO should be at.

     

    then exit, build your "data" session and tell it the LBA you want and then remake your QUE with the ISO?

     

     

    Can this be done? Maybe convoluted 4 sure, but interesting

  5. thanks again....this discussion has made me look a few things up.

     

     

    From Padus: http://www.padus.com/support/manuals/html/...w_CDs/Index.htm

     

     

    Creating an Enhanced CD (CD+):

     

     

     

    Select the horizontal "CD Recording" tab on the upper-left corner of the main window.

     

    Insert a blank CD into a drive capable of writing CD-R or CD-RW media and select the same drive in the Destination panel.

     

    Select the horizontal "Explorer" tab on the upper-left corner of the main window.

     

    In the Explorer section, select any combination of mp3, WMA, and WAV audio files you want to record, and then drag-and-drop them over the "Open session" item in the in the CD Layout window. Repeat until the first session contains all of the songs you want to record.

     

    Still in the Explorer section, select the files and folders you want to record in the data portion of the CD, and then drag-and-drop them over the "CD-DA, 1 session(s), ..." item in the in the CD Layout window. A second "data" session will be automatically appended to the CD Layout. Repeat until the second session contains all of the files and folders that you want to record.

     

    Click the "Start" button.

     

     

     

    AND

     

     

    Creating a Multi-session CD:

     

     

     

    Select the horizontal "CD Recording" tab on the upper-left corner of the main window.

     

    Insert a blank CD into a drive capable of writing CD-R or CD-RW media and select the same drive in the Destination panel.

     

    Select the "Advanced" sub-tab and make sure "Close disc" is not checked.

    Select the horizontal "Explorer" tab on the upper-left corner of the main window.

     

    In the Explorer section, select any combination of data files you want to record, and then drag-and-drop them over the "Open session" item in the in the CD Layout window. Repeat until the first session contains all of the files you want to record.

     

    Still in the Explorer section, select the files and folders you want to record in the data portion of the CD, and then drag-and-drop them over the "CD-DA session" item in the in the CD Layout window. A second "data" track will be automatically created at the beginning of CD Layout. Repeat until the first data track contains all of the files and folders that you want to record.

     

    Click the "Start" button.

     

    Close the task when it has been completed and re-insert the disc that was just written. Start a new "Create new CDs" task.

    Select the horizontal "CD Recording" tab on the upper-left corner of the main window.

     

    Select the same drive in the Destination panel.

    Select the horizontal "Explorer" tab on the upper-left corner of the main window.

    Choose to import or not import the files recorded from the first session to the new session you are about to create.

    In the Explorer section, select any combination of data files you want to record, and then drag-and-drop them over the "Open session" item in the in the CD Layout window. Repeat until the second session contains all of the files you want to record.

    Repeat as necessary, selecting "Close disc" in the "Advanced" sub-tab for the last desired session.

     

     

    These are 2 different things, so I guess I mistook ImgBurn's multisession for the ability to make CD-Extra CDs, which it does not. When I saw mulitsession in the changelog I just assumed that the use had the ability to add data folders at will, similar to the way Padus does it, but I was wrong.

     

    ImgBurn does let you add ISOs to a session though, but as I said it will not burn and gives NO ERROR message at all anywhere.

     

    thanks for clearing this up!!!!

  6. thanks for response!!!!

     

    I would make one so you could have say audio + mp3 on same CD, or maybe add some cool stuff for fun like cover art, etc.

     

    You know, regular CD audio + data. It is actually neat.

     

     

    It is clear now, however I do wonder what the multisession in ImgBurn is supposed to do then. When I googled multisession audio cd you see that standalone players will only see first session, this play the music and ignore the second session, which would be data and the user could put that into their computer player and get the extra stuff if wanted.

     

    So I guess my final question on this is that since standalone players will NOT see the next sessions, what is the purpose of them in ImgBurn if not to add data?

     

    Again just curiosity on my part....NOT a complaint. :thumbup:

  7. ok...just trying to figure this out from above:

     

    "Create an iso in build mode with your mp3's. Then when making your cue, add the wavs, then the iso as the second session. It will then burn as intended "

     

     

     

     

    I am just trying to make a CD-EXTRA so I thought the above statement meant to read:

     

    1. Make ISO of MP3s.

    2. Open ImgBurn and in session one add the MP3s for your music CD (to be made into WAVs)

    3. Make Session 2

    4. Add in the ISO

    5. Burn

     

     

    I think this is what JasonFriday meant right?

     

    I use Nero to make these things and would like to scrap it all-together (music and data can be useful).

     

    I guess I am asking can ImgBurn do this all in one step...if not one step are there multiple steps or guide I can follow?

     

     

    In any case, no error is given in ImgBurn.

     

     

    Am I way off in looking at this Multisession thingy?

     

    thanks again....Nero is almost gone now LOL!!!!

     

     

    thanks for ImgBurn

  8. I made the QUE file as described with my MP3s in teh second session as ISO. When I try to burn (that is I open up the QUE file), ImgBurn does nothing and keeps prompting me to open a file....I keep choosing the QUE that I made, but ImgBurn will not open it. Just does nothing. If I remove session 2, then it will burn fine. The QUE for session 2 is:

     

     

    REM SESSION 02

    FILE "AN_MP3.iso" BINARY

    TRACK 14 MODE1/2048

    INDEX 01 00:00:00

     

     

    Session one appears up to as you would expect. If I get rid of the REM SESSION 02 part, then ImgBurn will run happily, when I run with SESSION 02 in, I can load the QUE file, but ImgBurn does not burn....just seems to ignore the file completely...no error given anywhere.

     

    thanks again for help!!!!

  9. imgburn tries to change everything to WAV it seems....In all sessions it expects audio and tries to convert it for music output. Only the first session can have audio as players only see the first session. The second session is suppsed to hold anything....i.e., for computer CD-ROMS.

     

     

    so I think something is off?

  10. Is the purpose of the multi-session option in new version to add data to an audio CD? For example, session one would be the WAV audio and session 2 the mp3 audio, which could be read on PC. I tried this, but Imgburn wanted to converted the MP3s in session 2 back to wav....if I made the MP3s into a zip file and put that into session 2, ImgBurn said invalid image file.

     

    Am I missing the boat here? I tried to put some other data into session 2, for example a .jpg, but the proggy said no directshow filter available.

     

    Is this CD-Extra?

     

    see:

     

    http://www.macdisk.com/cdextraen.php3

     

    Introduction

    The CD Extra is a mixed mode CD-ROM, containing first an audio session, with one or several audio tracks, then a second session (data track). The first session is the only one seen by the audio CD players, the second one is only seen by the computer. You should not confound those CDs with some earlier attempts (before 1995) to put first a data track then the audio tracks, or even to squeeze the data track in the pre-gap space, before the first track. The CD Extra specification is described in the Blue Book.

    It happens that some people use terms like "Enhanced Music CD" or "CD Plus" to designate such CDs.

     

    How to do?

    The method is rather simple: you first burn the audio session, without closing the disk. Some recording software speak of session at once, others speak of reopening a new session, of not closing the disk. You may have to look in the manual and to do some tests.

    You then burn the data session/track (data sessions contain almost always a single track), this time closing the disk. Nothing prevents you to register several data sessions/tracks but it doesn't make necessarily sense.

    Most CD-ROM burning software packages recompute the offsets of the ISO catalog while burning the data track in the second session.

    Some refuse to burn the track with an error messahe stating that the track is not built for the medium in the burner (in particular, Easy CD Creator).

    One should note that this redocking (rebasing) operation is not strictly necessary.

     

    A CD Extra with Hybrid Data Track

    Depending on the data track you produced, it can be an ISO 9660 track, a HFS (Macintosh) track or a hybrid (HFS/ISO 9660) track, like an image produced by MacImage Using the autorun/autostart feature, you can even have a CD-ROM which autostarts with the same contents (or even another one) on the PC and on the Macintosh.

     

     

    If it is indeed mixed mode CD I cannot do it...of course I could be OFF course

  11. hey no problem!!!! I am a bit wierd that way right?

     

    In any case no issue for me to change my ways....your proggy so so much easier to use.

     

    so thanks!!!

     

     

     

    Now if only you could add the "sort by track metatag for mp3 import" from my other thread this wierdo would be purrrfect!!!! LOL :-)

     

     

    enjoy.....

  12. ok....thanks!!!

     

     

    but it is a bit confusing....you can manually add a pre-gap for trck one in the dialog. So I added 2 seconds myself. If ImgBurn does this for you, should the pre-gap NOT be available for a user to enter for track one only? Or somewhere on that dialog page to tell user it is added, this way can still ensure lots of flexibility and permit additional pre-gap additions for track 1. Again this is for clairification as anal type like me look for this sort if thing. Or a user may simply add 2 seconds cause they red about the redbook specification. Just suggesting that it be made clearer. Perhaps underneath where it says "Pregap:" you could put in CAPS something to the effect of "TRACK 1 PRE-GAP OF 2 SECONDS AUTOMATICALLY ADDED"

     

     

    again just a suggestion from humble old me!!!

     

     

    nice...nice...nice proggy..... :-)

  13. I noticed that the default for track one is a 0 pre-gap. The red book standard for CDs is mandatory for 2 seconds pre-gap before first track...for the rest 2 seconds is supposed to appear between tracks but people ignore it (up to end user). Does ImageBurn do the first 2 seconds in the background behind the scene on its own.

     

     

    CD Architect puts the first 2 seconds before track one on its own and you cannot change it....should ImgBurn do this? Of course the user could do it....just wonderin'

  14. hi....I usually just do "artist name - track name" with track as a tag....when I do a bulk import ImgBurn alphabetizes (SP?) them. If I drag a file at a time in all is ok....maybe sort by track# metatag could be added if you have time, could be useful....no biggee though.

     

    Love the new version!!!
