This might be a dumb question, but I haven't been able to find the answer. I can create a cue sheet fine, but suppose I want to change it... how do I do that? There doesn't seem to be a way to get it back into the cue sheet editor.

I just installed ImgBurn on this box because Nero sucks shit....I have used ImgBurn at work a lot, anyway I selected create image file from disc on two recordings I have. It created both with no problems, (I have .iso and .que files for both disks), they are on standard 70 minute Maxell CDR, I then try to write image file to disk using Taiyo Uden 70 minute CDR, I select source file (shawblades01.iso) and I get this error <Invalid or unsupported image file format!>. I read the faq and searched but didnt see anything jump out at me. Any help is appreciated, Your program kicks ass!, this is the first time it has ever barked at me. Vince

Re-create your CUE file and when you're about to save it, change Save as type to CUE Files - Unicode (*.cue) before clicking on OK. Notice that only ImgBurn will be able to burn this CUE file

Thanx for your answers! @Peru: That's what I did in the first place but resultng in what Lightning_UK said (Data Image). But as always try before cry. @Lightning_UK: Would it be possible to integrate that feature (create an audio cd image from audio files on harddisk) anytime soon ? If you're wondering why something like to have that, it would be of help to test the created cd-image for any errors before burning. What library or algorythm did you integrate for audiofile-conversion to cd-format ? Or different, do you know in which category the audio converison quality of imgburn's is fitting to ? Just wondering if they have mastering quality or not...

Crashes how? Do you get an error message? What do you see? (screenshot please) What are you adding? Did you create the files yourself? What OS are you running?

When I try to add songs(mp3) ,it seems to be normal,then I click OK to add them in. But my ImgBurn crashes.It crashes every time when I create CD CUE files. I uninstall it and reinstall it,but didn't work I'm running XP SP2 And I'm adding mp3 files,I click OK,then it just stopped,freezed. P.S.There's no error messages

Can think of one time where I used DVD-R DL for a movie. When trying to create a movie where The End Of The World came up. Burned it to DVD-R DL because the layer break was fixed.

Is this what you want? 1) Click "Mode" 2) Click "Ez-Mode picker" 3) Click "Create image file from files/folders" 4) Drag the file(s)/folder(s) to ImageBurn as you would normally do. 5) Click to build as you normally would, and it will prompt you to tell it where to save the .iso (image file).

What is the best method of backing up several files over several CDs? 1) Convert all into a 7z or zip file split into pieces of 700MB and copy each to a CD? But if the first or last CD gets corrupted, the entire set becomes useless. 2) Use ImgBurn to create an image file split into pieces of 700MB and copy each to CD? I don't know if it's possible to retrieve any file from a single CD. 3) Use specialised backup software? (I have not tried this, any recommendations?). 4) Use a file manager like FreeCommander to split the files into batches of about 700MB and copy each to CD? The good thing about this method is that the files are independently retrievable, but a lot of work is involved. Any other suggestions? The files are meant for long term backup over several years.

I'm 100 % serious about the "far less user friendly" part. It's not just that the current copy process can't be done unattended even with two drives, it's also a fact of life that most users are non-techies and you'd be amazed what small hurdles actually block them from completing tasks in real life. If you look at actual usability studies with real, average users you see dramatic differences in successful completion rate between something like: a) When you want to copy a disc, find that it's called "Copy disc". Then follow on-screen instructions for any additional steps (that don't involve choices) such as "insert a blank disc". When you want to copy a disc, find that it's called "Create image file from disc". Then decide or at least be aware that for certain types of disc .bin/.cue is suitable, for others .iso is. Then pick a temporary destination for your image. Then find that the next step is "Write image file to disc". Then find the image file you just created... So the reality is that users will keep asking for this. And until they get it, ImgBurn is just not the right software for the 95 % or so non-techie world population who still wants to copy a disc. Or for all of us who like unattended copying. And incidentally, copying a disc is probably most common thing anybody wants to do with their CD/DVD burner. But for now, for common users wanting to do this common operation, the bloated ugly Nero that came with the drive in fact remains a better choice, for all its warts. And keep in mind that with this feature added, ImgBurn would still be no less perfect for advanced users. I'll grant you that - and we do see the odd forum question about it, too. But that's it - it the odd question - maybe 5 in the last year. We say use read mode then write mode and they say thanks and that's it. In response to some people who have pushed for this, we even have a "guide" (accessible from the Help menu) - http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtop...amp;#entry66253 Finally, ImgBurn is made for people with a few brains.

Hey, I've been using ImgBurn for a few months now along with DVDFlick to make my DVDs. For the most part it was working fine, the only issue I had was a slight annoyance. My DVD burner is connected through USB, so when I'd create my DVD in DVDFlick it would ask me what drive I want to burn on, and my actual DVD drive wouldn't show up. Now I'd continue anyways, and once DVDFlick was done, ImgBurn would pop up automatically and would look to the drive that DVDFlick told it to and stop as it wasn't a DVD drive. However once ImgBurn would open, all I had to do was click on the drop down box and from there select my actual DVD drive and it would continue burning as normal. My first issue is just to somehow figure out how to make it automatically go to the correct drive. This most likely is a DVDFlick issue, so I'll check their website as well. Secondly now that there is a new version of ImgBurn available, every time ImgBurn opens it tells me that there is a new version available and asks if I want to go to the website to download it, which I've done many times already. However no matter how many times I've downloaded the new software, it always tells me that the new version is available. I just want to be able to open DVDFlick and start burning DVDs without having to actually BE at the computer to tell it where to burn, and that no, I don't want the new version. Unfortuately this stuff isn't recorded in the programs log, otherwise I would have posted that too. Any help or suggestions would be great. Thanks.

does this feature apply to audio cue wirte or even in audio cue create? i think this feature break the original cue's gap structure, then i couldn't make a most original copy... does the new version have an option to turn it off?

Hi all, in my opinion may be useful to add to advanced->media menu in "Create Image file from files/folders" also profiles for BD/HD-DVD SL/DL discs. Best Regards. Stefano

That image was incorrectly authored. Have you by any chance used DVD Shrink to create it? Even if you didn't, try this: use Daemon Tools (or similar) to mount that image to a virtual drive then follow this guide (use the VIDEO_TS folder that's inside the virtual drive as the source).

weisborg, Settings -> Build tab -> Create AUDIO_TS Folder.

i have just downloaded imgburn. I want to change blu-ray discs (on my hard drive) to iso files mainly so I can use media center to play them through power dvd which it won't do unless they are iso's. I ran img burn on one and it seemed to create an iso file called rar archive. I have winrar 3.7 on my pc but I can't extract anything from the archive (even though it says it is 27gb) so I can't play it in any way. I don't really want an rar archive file so am I doing something wrong here.

When IMG burn asks to create layer break position what do I select? I pressed cancel which I probably shouldn't have done because then I got an error message saying the burn didn't work. I think it goes something like 50/50, 50%/50%.... There are about 4 or so options. Not entirely sure but I don't want to do it again and risk ruining another disc which weren't cheap!

In Build mode it's possible to not create the AUDIO_TS folder.

It's a MPEG Audio Layer 3 32000Hz mono 48Kbps and there are no pronlems with other files that i've tryed with to create CD CUE file. Have no clue how to check it.

I was trying to create a CD CUE file. Right after a file was added to imgburn got this error. Screenshots: Pressed OK here. Than this banner came up: Pressed OK here. After all got this: Log: I 13:58:33 ImgBurn Version 2.4.0.0 started!I 13:58:33 Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition (5.1, Build 2600 : Service Pack 2) I 13:58:33 Total Physical Memory: 916,460 KB - Available: 645,788 KB I 13:58:33 Initialising SPTI...

I've been known to: 1) create a Windows install disc ISO with nLite then burn it with ImgBurn (like I am at this moment) 2) create an audio CD in Nero, write an NRG, and burn it with ImgBurn... 3) create a bootable disc image with VFD (Virtual Floppy Drive/r) then make a bootable CD/DVD with ImgBurn... 4) go out of my way to find a way to make a program spit out an image instead of burning, so I can burn it with ImgBurn. ImgBurn just rules that hard. It tells me everything about the drive. It IS everything I'd ever need to do with any optical drive. It's the universal do-all know-all burner program. It solves all problems and ends world hunger. Now if only it could do its own disc-scanning without relying on a payware/bugware/mehware program like DvdInfoPro... but then again, ImgBurn is just that (ImgBURN), right?

Well, I was saying it didn't do shit, because in that confirmation dialog overviewing the settings (after telling it to make the corrections), it still said ISO9660+UDF and all the old settings, which I at least know won't work for a Windows install disc (Windows can only read UDF after it's installed, dur!). Now, I'd been able to create image-based bootable discs before (using a floppy image)... but on another note, using that mechanism, I do wish it would let me burn a "CD floppy" without any files (just the bootable floppy image). Heck, even the Windows disc itself boots. It just doesn't seem to create the right filesystem. =(

Okay I see how to do the "Create Image File From Disc" which rips an ISO of a DVD. It creates 3 files on my hard drive movie-name.mds movie-name.I00 movie-name.I01 What I don't understand is how to burn a watchable movie onto a standard 4.6gig disc? Everything I have read here seems like it is a snap to burn a playable DVD from an ISO using ImgBurn but I don't get it. When I go to burn it I get a message saying the file is too large for the disc do I want to continue anyway? What do I need to do get it to fit on a 4.6gig disc? When I used DVD Decrypter it would rip a DVD into a VIDEO_TS folder and then I'd use Nero Recode 2 to compress it to a 4.6gig disc. Any help is appreciated

Hi Guys! I really like ImgBurn program and I enjoyed using it. I never had any problem with this program before but now I have a question about creating a layer position. Well this is my situation: I download a 7 Gbs video from the Internet (it is a concert), this video is in DVD format (.vob) so tried to use ImgBurn (like I always do) to make a ISO file from all this vobs files but now every time I try to make a ISO file (just with this 7 Gbs video) I see a new windows from ImgBurn about "layer position". I don't really know what is this and what to do with this situation. Can somebody please tell me what a layer position is and what should I do in this situation? Here is a screenshot about the windows that is confusing me:
