This is exactly what I'm trying to avoid. Temporary fixes that just don't really work. If it's having compatibility issues then it's just not compatible. No sweat. What I meant about ImgBurn not being able to create a audio file, I meant not being able to create a original audio file from a original audia file. ie: it will not make a .cue of a .cda file, only other formats. That's why I use another program to rip my music to mp3s for instance, delete what I don't want and continue until I have what I do want. Then I'll load up ImgBurn to make a .cue file of the mp3s that will be able to be read by my DJs equipment. We discovered it read .cue files a while back, so it was a real time saver. You see a lot of DJ equipment unless way top of the line will only read audio files. Just so happens his recorder or w/e reads the .cue files w/the titles and everything. Now to FF. If they were so real, which I love it when they're working, then they would of kept up w/7 way back since the RC came out. Almost a year now. Lightning did it asap. So, I'll be using IE 8 until FF is definitely stable. No problem. I find my download speeds etc... are more stable w/IE 8. Uncle Bill is not that bad. He just doesn't like anyone else to join the party. Now I'm installing apps. 1 at a time until they pass compatibility before I go and activate this OS. So far ttytt, only real stable apps. I have are Fab, ImgBurn, MS Essentials, and I'm seeing if The new Acronis True is causing any issues. I could live w/these for now. Worst case scenario I'll just use WMP to delete the audio files I don't want and ImgBurn to create the .cue files. ImgBurn converts WMA files to .cue I believe so that's fine if needed. On installing EAC, there's several posts on how AV proggies will show it as Cynthia and I mentioned because of some adware proggies w/in. They say if you uncheck them it will definitely ring a alarm. Softpedia has this posted. Excuse the delay in responding, I have to go to control panel here and adjust the reply feature. Just read it in my email. Had all you guys' replies since last time I checked I only saw Cynthia's.

Hi Lightning. I just now tried downloading it 4 times. 7 x64 will not let me download it saying it's a threat to my computer. Any suggestions? I also thought this was pay for software. Let me know. I'm using MS Essentials and have been able to download everything else. Thnx. Also this converts as well? ImgBurn will not make .cue files of pure audio files if I'm correct. it'll .cue all other formats.

Hi. Happy New Year to all. I need a fully compatible 7 x64 Home CD Ripper/Converter so I can use when compiling/condensing my music so then ImgBurn can .cue the files. Fully compatible. Not issue free. Not I haven't experienced any issues. Compatible, tried and tested as ImgBurn is. I used CDex in the past, but I installed it recently and I don't think it's fully compatible. Issues during installation. I think WMP can maybe work to edit then throw the remaining files into the Playlist or w/e so ImgBurn can .cue them. I'm not sure 100% though. MP3 is best and/or quickest. That way I just delete w/e and then just let ImgBurn do the rest. Freeware is always appreciated, but if nothing really compatible then I'll buy something that is fully compatible. I've done some searching, but a lot of freeware still stuck on XP, Vista etc... No not everything Vista is 7 compatible. Been there. Especially x64 7. Thanks.

Ok. Thnx. So everything's good. As long as the final burn works w/a .MDS or not that's the ticket.

Most flics are about 1 and 1/2 hrs. and above. The ISO doesn't compress the actual size at all correct? I mean the actual size of the video when converted will be the size displayed by the ISO correct?

Well I burned about 5 videos using the queue, and there was no moaning. Maybe the queue doesn't moan, and accepts the ISO that way.

Oh Ok. The .iso's were all over 1GB and prolly all over 2gbs to standard single disc size. By <1gb you mean smaller than or greater than? It's been a while in the math area. Lol... I think you mean less than 1gb. Let me know. I have no idea about DAEMON Tools, but if it's not bothering I'll keep the .MDS file. When I burn w/ImgBurn though, I should always choose the .iso w/the larger file size correct? Thnx.

1 file is 5kbs. and it's a .mds file. The other is the .iso file w/the actual image size and content I guess. I don't recall this happening before. I'll cut out the interests thing. Seems this started when the new updated format for the forum kicked in. Had the same thing since day 1. Thnx.

I just noticed on my storage drive of .iso's that for some images I have 2 entries. 1 says Disc Image File, and the other 1 says Disc Image. Obviously the 1 w/the most content is the movie. Now do I need the other smaller image file w/the same name there to act as reference when burning the .iso? Or can I erase it? I know when creating a .cue file that the bin file is there to act as a reference so that it can be pointed to so that you can burn it. At least I think that's the way it works. These .iso's were created mostly from discs using ImgBurn.

The Docking Station is a Thermal Take and it's plugged into a usb port for the transfer and connection to the PC. The station is plugged into a electrical power surge. I will run a test w/WD diagnostics and Google HD Tune. I've had no issues w/other drives in the docking station. The others are WD's and a Hitachi though. I'll see what's up w/the diagnostics. I wonder if the backup process via F&b resulted in a not so clean copy for some.

The F: drive is a separate drive and I have it in my docking station via usb. I use it for storing all my video and music and some pics etc... I also use it to actually backup the flic so I won't have to copy and paste it from another destination to the F: drive. So you're saying that the backing up on it is ok as long as I'm not burning w/ImgBurn at the same time, and vice versa? This is a Seagate and I did have to RMA it a while back. Maybe as you pointed out it is a issue w/the drive. I defragmented it already. I don't think the burners being ide would cause any issues correct? Guess you would of pointed this out. I'm using my Dell right now so it has the ide burners. My other builds have strictly sata drives.

Thnx.You suggested to just use the drive for burning w/ImgBurn. That's really all I use it for except when to backup a flic and create a .iso. I use this drive and my other sorage drives as the destination target. Is that ok to continue, or is using, let's say the C: drive for all the work then just copying the flic over to the storage drive better? Reason I use another drive for the backup/copying/.iso is so there'll be less thrashing on the same drive due to bottle necking.

Lightning there's a lot of flics and music on my F: drive. Defragging it will take a very long time. What do you suggest as a defragmenter? One of the freebies like Defraggler? Or do I need to be careful not to delete anything during defragmentation? Let me know because I haven't defragged any of my storage drives. Thnx.

I burned these last night and some if not all were going nuts w/the buffers. Any input as to why this may happen is greatly appreciated. Thnx. I want to make sure it isn't the flics, and if it is what can be done to rectify it.

I have individual speeds for each media code I use set for each burner. Many times the 6x speed gives me the best results with Pioneers. The 24x was set b4 for some cd burning i did. 1 ? why does the aws feature have speed selection for both the disc id and the burners? if set just to burners no matter what disc it will burn at that speed correct? also i don't think you can just set speeds for the discs id's w/out setting for the corresponding burner correct?

Hi Cynthia. I have no idea how it went to 18x though. As you saw everything was 8 n 12x. I will reset the auto write function again. What do you guys suggest when setting the auto write function? Doing it by disc id or putting the burner to the id as well w/the write speed chosen? Thnx.

Okie doke. I have to allocate some time for ImgBurn as well as 7 to get more acquainted w/at least most of its features. I'll prolly find I could do what I usually do w/more ease and efficiency.

Ok. That's what I thought. I became so involved w/the .ibq files that I totally forgot that's all I had to do was give the .cue a given name letting me know what I put together. I think I also burnt some audio files as is w/ImgBurn. I'm almost sure I did some mp3's straight onto a cd-r and to mp3 format. I'll look over the guide again. Lot to cover. Thnx.

No not the IBQ file and burning those in order. I mean making a .cue file w/various songs from various artists and saving that for future copies. I now know that I would just have to make the .cue file w/all the songs I want and name it something so I know that's the 1 w/all the different songs/genre etc... Btw I just burned a cd-r of a .cue file and it showed up as a audio file when I opened up the disc in my drive. ImgBurn makes straight up audio files now? I thought closest was wave file.

Oh ok. I didn't know this. I thought it was a function to save like a set a files that you could load at will at any time and burn. That way you have all of them in a .ibq in a set order so you won't have to search through the cue files and make another .ibq like the last one. You know, sometimes you want to go back and burn lets say a cd for a friend w/a certain list of songs, so you just go to the .ibq and it'll be there saved. I guess there's a project manager which I've seen/read about that serves that purpose? Or is that a temporary fix to a current burning session as well? Thnx. If the project saves certain files as long as you want to be burned whenever then that's what I've been looking for and have misconstrued the .ibq as affording that option.

Hi Lightning. Yes my system shows all files and they even show up in the window that you click open to put them in the Queue. It'll only load 1 queue at a time and erase previous 1 if I add another 1 to be able and burn more files. So if the .mp3's are no longer around then the .cue files made of them are no use for the queue either? It'll only load any saved queues w/the load queue button? Why can't I open up the .ibq file just by selecting it in the queue window? It's a supported file. Also I can't load but 1 saved queue at a time? This can't be as different music files are saved according to their genre. I'm thrown off by this. Ok I read the guides which just say what the setting will do, and no where does it mention being able to load several .ibq files at a time. I threw my whole saved queue folder I have saved in my external drive and it will only load the same 1 and not all saved queues in it. So what's suggested? Burn 1 queued file at a time instead of having all files there ready to burn and put on discs? The purpose of the queue is to be able to load as many files as you want so you can burn them w/out having to go open the window again and insert more files correct? Let me know where I'm wrong here please. Thnx.

Ok. I'll try this out mmalves. brb. Well it'll load some .ibq files now and the other one it won't cause the .mp3 files are not there or anywhere on the drive. this can't be changed so that only .cue files can load w/out the .mp3 files? Also it'll load 1 saved queue, but when I go to load another one it'll erase the 1 I loaded previously and replace it w/the new load. Can't I load up as many saved queues as I want to burn w/ImgBurn?

Hi I saved a couple of queues to the .ibq file format, and now that I want to load and/or open them I get a "Invalid or unsupported image file format!" "Reason: 1st Image file part is less than 2048 bytes in size." What's this all about? The saved queue files are in the same folder w/the .mp3's and .cue files. I don't know what's happening. Also tells me files no longer exist or have been renamed. would I like to look in another location for the files. There isn't a other location.
