  1. I know the disks can't be protected and I have looked through the Guides section. I was just a little nervous about trying dual-layer since it is brand new to me. I would also like to preserve the menus, subtitles, extras, and anamorphic widescreen if possible.

    If ImgBurn can read the discs and make an ISO image of them, when you burn that ISO image to dual-layer media it'll be an exact copy of the original, no changes whatsoever. By the way, only use Verbatim DVD+R DL media (it's the only good one), and burn at 2.4x for best results.

  2. The Guides section has useful information about using ImgBurn.

     

    Your original DVDs (single and dual layer) may have protection, and ImgBurn doesn't read protected discs. We can't help you with that, so you'll have to search/ask somewhere else about that. Discs that aren't protected can be perfectly read with ImgBurn in Read mode.

     

    If you have any doubts about using ImgBurn we'll be glad to help you :)

  3. Download Memtest Pre-Compiled Bootable ISO and burn to a CD/DVD?R (CD-RW/DVD?RW also work) and boot the computer with this disc inside your DVD drive (no need to connect the HDs). Let it run at least one full pass and see if any errors come up.

     

    Also, when you get a chance to enter BIOS setup, make sure all IDE ports are set to Auto (for auto-detecting HDs settings) and if there's a S.M.A.R.T. option, enable it. Have you tried hooking your HDs to your second IDE port to see if they're recognized there?

    Maybe we can help more if you give us more information :)

  4. If you're trying to burn a Xbox 360 game, you must use DVD+R DL media (Verbatim is the only good one in this category) and layer break at sector 1913760. Booktyping to DVD-ROM is also important, but your burner must support doing it.

     

    If you're in doubt, please post the log from ImgBurn, which can be found in Help/ImgBurn logs.

  5. Your guide is great and everything goes just as you said until I go to the calculate button and after it ask me if the folder is at the root of the image and I say Yes, its says "E 15:25:56 Directory depth exceeds ISO9660 limit of 8 levels!" because it says that it is 9 levels deep. Anything I can do about this?

    In Advanced/Restrictions/ISO9660 tab, enable Allow More Than 8 Directory Levels :)

  6. I want to make a bootable Windows XP Service Pack 2 CD from a non bootable Windows XP Service Pack 2 CD so if my system crashes i won't have to buy another XP disk.

    OK, follow these steps:

    • make a folder (e.g. C:\WINXP) and, using Windows Explorer, copy all the contents of your CD to that folder
    • download and extract wxpboot.bin from this file: wxpboot.zip
    • open ImgBurn, switch to Build mode and, in the 'Output' menu, choose 'Device' if you want to burn to media or 'Image File' if you want to save to an ISO image on your HD
    • click the 'Browse for a folder' icon and add your C:\WINXP folder (you can also drag/drop it)
    • in the 'Options' tab, change File System to ISO9660 + Joliet and enable Recurse Subdirectories (it's enabled by default)
    • go to the 'Bootable Disc' tab, enable 'Make Image Bootable', select 'Emulation Type: None (Custom)', click the folder icon and select the wxpboot.bin file you've extracted earlier, and change the Sectors To Load field from 1 to 4 (this is very important!)
    • go back to the 'Information' tab, click the 'Calculate' button and, when ImgBurn asks if you're trying to build an Operating System installation disc, answer Yes and then Yes again at the next prompt (alternatively you can also answer No to the first prompt and Yes to the second prompt). More info about ISO9660 and Joliet ;)
    • click the big Write/Build button, re-confirm the Yes/Yes (or No/Yes) you did above, enter any label you want and click OK.

  7. With ImgBurn in Write mode and a blank media inserted on your drive, could you copy and paste the information shown on the right side of ImgBurn's window?

    Also, while you're at it, please go to Tools, then 'Filter Driver Load Order', click the Clipboard button and paste here.

     

    By the way, do you have Alcohol 120% installed? If you have enabled its 'Ignore Media Type' function, it'll make every program think that your media is a DVD-ROM.

  8. Dual layer offers better quality because it offers more space for video/audio data, but the content has to be authored to take advantage of this.

     

    ImgBurn is just a burning program, so it doesn't convert nor changes the quality of the content/data to be burnt. Since your shortfilm is only 1.3 GB, you can safely burn it to a single layer DVD?R, as such discs can hold 4.38 GiB (4.7 GB) of data.

  9. IsoBuster, UltraISO/MagicISO, even WinRAR, are programs able to extract files from ISO images. You could also install Daemon Tools, mount the ISO image to its virtual DVD-ROM drive and copy the files over.

     

    The Nero guide you posted only re-creates the DVD-Video file structure, so, if doing that way works for you, it means your ISO image is somehow bad/corrupted, since ImgBurn doesn't modify any data when burning from an ISO image. By the way, ImgBurn's Build mode does the same as Nero and also generated DVD-Video compliant DVDs as soon as you add the VIDEO_TS folder to your build.
