Did as you said, I get. "C:\Program Files (x86)\ImgBurn\ImgBurn.exe" 2.5.7.0 /MODE BUILD /SRC "C:\Temp\Test.ibb" /DEST "C:\Temp\Test.iso" /LOG "C:\Temp\Test.log" /START /EJECT YES /CLOSE I still have to click an OK button on a message box to start the build mode and the program does close but it doesn't eject the media, the Eject check box is greyed out on the ImgBurn window, I assume a limitation on the drive or perhaps an IT security policy ?

Hi With the command line options of IMG Burn - Start, Eject, Close do they only work on Write mode? I'm trying the following my $isoCmd = `"C:\\Windows\\CCM\\VAppLauncher.exe \/launch ImgBurn 2.5.7.0 \/MODE BUILD \/SRC "$location$listing" \/DEST "$location$test.iso" \/START \/LOG "$log" \/EJECT \/CLOSE`; Also I get no log file. my $log = "$location$test.log"; The IBB file is picked up and used but I have to click OK to start the ISO creation and once it has made the ISO I have to click OK to accept that it has made the ISO, is there any way for this to just happen without any user input at all? Cheers

Cheers!, I'll take another look.

Hi Sorry for the delay. This is the command I'm using (In a Perl script) my $isoCmd = `"C:\\Windows\\CCM\\VAppLauncher.exe \/launch ImgBurn 2.5.7.0 \/MODE BUILD \/SRC "$listing" \/DEST "$test.iso" \/VOLUMELABEL "$test" \/START \/ EJECT YES \/LOG "$test$log" \/CLOSE`; And this is how I'm creating an IBB file open (FILELIST, ">$path/$test.ibb") or die "$! error trying to overwrite"; print FILELIST "IBB\n"; print FILELIST "\n"; print FILELIST "[sTART_BACKUP_OPTIONS]\n"; print FILELIST "BuildInputMode=1\n"; print FILELIST "BuildOutputMode=2\n"; print FILELIST "Destination=$path$test\/\n"; print FILELIST "DataType=0\n"; print FILELIST "FileSystem=0\n"; print FILELIST "UDFRevision=0\n"; print FILELIST "PreserveFullPathnames=1\n"; print FILELIST "RecurseSubdirectories=1\n"; print FILELIST "IncludeHiddenFiles=0\n"; print FILELIST "IncludeSystemFiles=0\n"; print FILELIST "IncludeArchiveFilesOnly=0\n"; print FILELIST "AddToWriteQueueWhenDone=0\n"; print FILELIST "ClearArchiveAttribute=0\n"; print FILELIST "VolumeLabel_ISO9660=$P00\n"; print FILELIST "Dates_FolderFileType=0\n"; print FILELIST "Restrictions_ISO9660_InterchangeLevel=0\n"; print FILELIST "Restrictions_ISO9660_CharacterSet=0\n"; print FILELIST "Restrictions_ISO9660_AllowMoreThan8DirectoryLevels=0\n"; print FILELIST "Restrictions_ISO9660_AllowMoreThan255CharactersInPath=0\n"; print FILELIST "Restrictions_ISO9660_AllowFilesWithoutExtensions=0\n"; print FILELIST "Restrictions_ISO9660_AllowFilesExceedingSizeLimit=0\n"; print FILELIST "Restrictions_ISO9660_DontAddVersionNumberToFiles=0\n"; print FILELIST "Restrictions_Joliet_InterchangeLevel=0\n"; print FILELIST "Restrictions_Joliet_AllowFilesWithoutExtensions=0\n"; print FILELIST "Restrictions_Joliet_AddVersionNumberToFiles=0\n"; print FILELIST "Restrictions_UDF_DisableUnicodeSupport=0\n"; print FILELIST "Restrictions_UDF_DVDVideoDontDisableUnicodeSupport=0\n"; print FILELIST "Restrictions_UDF_DVDVideoDontDisableUnicodeSupport_SF=0\n"; print FILELIST "Restrictions_UDF_HDDVDVideoDontDisableUnicodeSupport=0\n"; print FILELIST "Restrictions_UDF_HDDVDVideoDontDisableUnicodeSupport_SF=0\n"; print FILELIST "Restrictions_UDF_BDVideoDontDisableUnicodeSupport=0\n"; print FILELIST "Restrictions_UDF_BDVideoDontDisableUnicodeSupport_SF=0\n"; print FILELIST "Restrictions_UDF_DVDVideoAllowUnicodeVolumeLabel=0\n"; print FILELIST "Restrictions_UDF_HDDVDVideoAllowUnicodeVolumeLabel=0\n"; print FILELIST "Restrictions_UDF_BDVideoAllowUnicodeVolumeLabel=0\n"; print FILELIST "Restrictions_UDF_AllowNonCompliantFileCreationDates=0\n"; print FILELIST "BootableDisc_MakeImageBootable=0\n"; print FILELIST "[END_BACKUP_OPTIONS]\n"; print FILELIST "\n"; print FILELIST "[sTART_BACKUP_LIST]\n"; foreach my $files(sort @sfiles) { print FILELIST "$files\n"; } print FILELIST "[END_BACKUP_LIST]\n"; close FILELIST;

I'm trying to automate ISO creation better, the tool we use has an image making wizard which works well enough, but if we come across a multi track optical disc we have to create the ISO by selecting files/folders. Either way the user has to click a heap of buttons to create an image. Is there a way to create an ISO image of a CD/DVD even if it has multiple tracks by having ImgBurn do a read say on source = D:\ but *.* so it reads all the files/folders as shown in Windows exploder? I thought what I could do is copy everything off the optical media to a temp folder then have ImgBurn create the ISO from that temp folder, then delete the source. I tried to create a listing file, but the ImgBurn Yoda still told me he couldn't create an ISO from a multi track disc. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
