Thanks. Sorry I didn't see that. Knew it had to be somewhere!

I am writing a file to iso. It burns to my G drive. I select another folder but the next file again defaults to the G drive. I went through all the settings and even though there is a page of default drives for different logs and settings, there is nothing to set the default folder to write files. I would think it would just stick to the last used but it doesn't. Am I missing something? thx. Windows 7 32 bit.

Virtual CD's virtual burner can be told to mount discs and output as ISO files. Phantom burner is made by the same author...not sure why it has a different name. For some reason, the burn fails every time I try it. I'm fairly sure that doesn't mean what you think it means. All you're doing is burning the actual picture/video files. You're certainly allowed to have both on a data disc. agree... not sure what they mean... If the virtual burner you're using only saves in VDD format, just mount that VDD file in the virtual drive and then point ImgBurn's 'Read' mode at the virtual drive and have it create a new ISO (or BIN/CUE is reading a complex CD). Then burn that ISO (or BIN/CUE) in Write mode. sounds like a plan... I have been burning directly from vdd to DVD and it seems to work but maybe doing what you say is safer.

By the way, Kudos to you for creating one of the most useful and elegantly simple (to use) software programs out there!!

The program is phantom burner. It has a feature to burn iso files but it doesn't work. I also tried phantom drive but it didn't work. I wish there were some program out there that would act as a virtual burner to make iso files... that any of my regular software programs would recognize as a burner and use... Seems like a simple thing but it just doesn't seem to be out there. Thankfully, some of my best programs do have iso as an option for burning. By the way, what I am using this for is backup for my photos. The instructions on the virtual burners say I have to be careful because, if there are any video files mixed in there (and there are because my camera takes video), the iso format won't work. I took out all the video files to see if that was the problem with the virtual disks and iso files but it didn't help. My question to you though is what you mean about a supported image? Do you mean that I should make an iso from the vdd using imgburn? I looked for this option and didn't see it. I was able to do it by burning an actual disk and then creating an image file from the disk. Is that what you mean? Would this work though if the dvd had photo and video files on it? thx

I have a virtual drive program that won't seem to write to a iso file.. but it does write to a vdd file. vdd isn't listed on the file list that img burn burns... but it seems to accept it and burn my dvd. I tried using that dvd on another computer and it works. I am using this for archiving so I am worried about something I might not know about. Does anyone know about vdd files and whether there are any probs with burning them with ImgBurn? thx

My software, Phantom burner, creates iso files. It asks the type of disk and the only choice is DVD+RW. These ISO files seem to burn fine to my DVD-R disks using IMGbrn... but I wanted to make sure I am not missing anything. thx.
