All I want to do is simply burn some folders to a DVD+R. I don't want to create an ISO image. I don't to create a music CD or anything else..just simply burn folders to the disc (either DVD or CD). Does ImgBurn do this? If so, I can't figure out how to do it in this program. The guides and FAQ have been no help. The Vista build-in burning software sucks so I was hoping to find a good shareware program to use. If simply burning folders and files to a disc can be done, is there somewhere on the website that gives detailed instructions? Thanks for any help.

thanks for your help on this now there is one guy who sent me this email and want to know if what he is saying corresponds to what you have said. please understand his english is not the best. rescue.iso is the iso mentioned in the first thread of this post. --------------------------------------------email below You first may load the rescue.iso in ImgBurn. Then, find the "Advanced" tab and there - bootable options, and it will contain option "Extract floppy image" -so extract it and save as floopy.ima, for example. Then create a new project in ImgBurn - and go to the same tab, and choose bootable image as "Floppy" and *Load* the floopy.ima you saved. Then you'll have empty project with the same bootable track as original rescue.iso. Then you may add any you own data files (e.g., music or photos) - and burn it (do it with RW, I succeded only in the third time...) And then such CD appeared for me to be bootable. -------------------------------------- tim

a. When you use the 'Extract Boot Image' option in ImgBurn ('Build' mode -> 'Advanced' tab -> 'Bootable Disc' tab), this is what gets up in the log (JUST an example).... I 16:41:51 Creating Boot Image... I 16:41:51 Original Emulation Type: None (Custom) I 16:41:51 Original Developer ID: Microsoft Corporation I 16:41:51 Original Load Segment: 07C0 I 16:41:51 Original Sectors To Load: 4 I 16:41:51 Wrote 2,048 bytes to boot image file. I 16:41:51 Operation Successfully Completed! b. If you look at the other controls on the 'Bootable Disc' tab you'll see that the info in the log (from step a) fits in with it perfectly. c. You want to create a new (bootable) disc yeah?! In ImgBurn that's known as 'Building'.

When I use isolinux to create multi-boot cd with ImgBurn I get a following error: mkisofs doesen't seem to care about this, as it builds the bootable image without any errors. If I manually pad the boot image file (isolinux.bin) with zeroes, ImgBurn accepts it, and the resulting cd boots without trouble. What I am politely asking is would it be much of a trouble to add following options to ImgBurn: 1. To ignore the size of the boot loader (mkisofs behaviour) and / or 2. To automatically pad the boot loader with zeroes until it fits the "multiple of 512 bytes" rule. Personally, I would prefer the first option (if possible) , since padding the boot image with zeroes may cause problems with boot loaders that have checksum protection. Thank you in advance.

without having a floppy drive to read floppy disc it to computer your cannot. try searching in google for how to create bootable xp from non bootable etc

Could you explain further what you want to do? You have a bootable floppy image that you want to use to create a bootable XP CD? Do you have a non-bootable XP CD? Maybe we can add boot functionality to that CD. We can even slipstream XP SP2 to that CD

Main Menu -> Tools -> Show IFO Layer break info. Select the ISO file and that should show the current layer-break. Then Main Menu -> Tools -> Create .mds file and then insert the layer-break value and create a new .mds file. I never tried this - so I'm not sure how well the ending will be. Another option: Extract the ISO file with a program like 7-Zip and then use the Build mode to create a new ISO/MDS.

You could also extract the contents of the ISO and rebuild it. Mount it in DAEMON Tools, create a new temp folder on your desktop and copy the files into it using explorer. Then add your new/updates files. Then use ImgBurn to extract the bootable bit from the virtual drive. Use build mode to create a new ISO from the folder on your desktop and the bootable image it had already extracted.

Hello, I am trying to create a dvd using the ts_video files that I have on my hard drive. I follow the instructions correctly, however, the disk does not verify and when I play the DVD on a standalone player the DVD plays but the vertical tracking is off. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks for your help!

The picture quality (or sound) has nothing to do with the burning program used. If you experience playback problems (as pixelations) that is most common due to low quality discs or that the burner don't like the brand of discs you use. Write mode only burns already prepared image files. If you don't have one - you need to use Build mode to create one (or burn directly to the burner). Read Mode - if you want to read an already burned disc into an image file. Verify Mode is used to verify a burned disc against an image saved on your computer. The last mode - Discovery is if you want to do some test burns with your discs using dummy data. If the RW disc is not empty - ImgBurn will format it for you when you start the burning. No need to press the button first.

How to deal with 'The End of The World' problem In this guide you will see how the problem with ImgBurn not being able to find any cells, that can be used for the layer-break when you want to burn a DVD DL disc, can be solved. This is an example of the window you will see in such a case. To solve the problem, we are going to use VobBlanker. If you don't already have VobBlanker installed, download it from VobBlanker's homepage. The program is free. The information from the ImgBurn window that we need is marked with red in this text: Note: The VTS, PGC, Cell and sector values will be different in your own case. Start VobBlanker. You will now see the programs main window. . Press the button 'Browse' in the Input Video Manager window. Browse to your VIDEO_TS folder and select the VIDEO_TS.IFO file. Also 'check mark' the option 'Use Input Folder'. After this you should see the DVD's Title set. . Select the Title Set. We know that the Title Set we are going to use is VTS_01. Click on that row and the PGC's in this Title Set will be showed. . Select the PGC. We also know that we are going to use PGC 1. Double click on the row for PGC 1 and you will see the 'Cells In Title' window. . Select the Cell. Based on the information from ImgBurn, we know that we need to split cell 2 into at least one new cell, so click on the row for Cell 2. . Press the button 'Split'. This will bring up the 'Cell Split Mode' window. Untick the options 'Add program' and 'Add Chapter' in the 'Split Mode' options box. Play the movie by using the button 'Play' and try to find a good place for the layer break, as a set or camera change. During the play or when you move the glider (use the one in the upper left corner, not the one in the bottom of the window), you can see the current sector value in the box 'Sector (rel)'. We know that the split must be between relative sector 540721 and 772779. For fine tuning, you can use the 'Prev' or 'Next' button to select an exact frame. (Note: It is sometimes not quite possible to select an exact frame as the split needs to be made at the start of a Group of Pictures, which occur every 0.5 seconds or so). I've chosen to use relative sector 579462 as the split point. When you want to set the split point for a new cell - press the button 'Mark' and the split point will be added. You can define up to 32 split points per cell in the same VobBlanker session. . Press the 'OK' button when you are done. This will bring you back to the 'Cells In Title' window. . Press the 'Apply' button. You will see the programs main window again. We are now ready to let VobBlanker process the files and create the split(s). . Press the 'PROCESS!!' button. . Close VobBlanker. After that VobBlanker is done, close it down by pressing the 'QUIT' button. . Start ImgBurn. You can now start ImgBurn and run the Build mode again. ImgBurn should now be able to find a cell that can be used for the layer-break.

I decided to create a coaster of one of my DVD+Rs to see if my drive will burn at 20x like the box says, which it did. I turned on exporting of graph data so I could show you the results. This is where the problem lies. Using discovery mode, after burning and verify, I expected two graph files, one for the burn, and one for the verify. But I only found one file. The log confirms that the burn graph was overwritten by the verify graph, and the last modified date on the file was 8:09 pm (same time shown in the log). Of course, I have attached my log: I 19:58:05 ImgBurn Version 2.4.0.0 started!

I can try. Is there an ImgBurn command that appends to build queue? If so I think I can create a third button to do just that. Glad you liked it. I wish more people used Dopus, since I tried it out I never went back. I hate when I'm on someone else's computer and have to use plain old windows explorer

In the preferences in DVD Flick I checkmarked the option "Create ISO" and that seems to trigger the burning with ImgBurn. (I guess you need to have ISO files associated with ImgBurn in the preferences of ImgBurn). Tried to search for firmware for your burner. It seems it's installed in a Compaq or Dell computer. I couldn't find any firmware for that burner. If it's a Compaq/Dell computer - try to see if you have any luck with using their support pages for your specific model of computer.

You're right. It doesn't make sense. At least not to me anyway. ImgBurn was never designed to be a professional backup utility. It's for general, everyday use by non-professionals. That said, automating the backup is the easy part via a batch file and a cron or scheduler but you're talking about manually changing paths and directory structure within ImgBurn itself for reasons that are obviously beyond me as we try to teach people to prepare their task before burning. It makes things easier for us as well and for the majority of users. Perhaps I'm just being stubborn but a task like a bootdisk isn't going to change radically. Afterall, you will retain most of the directory structure and the files included within. Changes obviously take place but the basic structure of the disk will remain unchanged and intact. Maybe a few sub-folders or files changed but your root folder is essentially the same. Lastly, copying 8GB of data to a folder somewhere isn't as much of a problem as it used to be. Particularly if you're using the same folder all of the time and also because large capacity HDs are so cheap these days. Microsoft have free sync software available to scan for changes in a source folder and automatically create backups via the scheduler. Also, batchfiles for copying a large amount of files can also be run via the scheduler. I'm not trying to be a dick but if your files are that critical, send them to another HD and then send those files to ImgBurn and do both tasks automatically.

Steps to reproduce: Download the 1ety46ww.iso from here http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss...ocid=MIGR-56222 Hint: deep link for the ISO can be constructed from iety46ww.txt link, just change the extension. Note: This software is useless for non ThinkPad owners This ISO contains a bootable HDD image based on PC-DOS 7 that has a size of 66 MB. As ImgBurn can't extract HDD boot images just use 7-Zip to extract it Then try to burn the image Above screens show that ImgBurn does not see any data to burn although there was a boot image of 66 MB added before. If the Burn button is pressed nothing happens. Now add just an empty file like this one 19.02.2008 18:03 0 dummy.txt and ImgBurn recognizes all data and this can be burned: I 12:32:25 ImgBurn Version 2.4.0.0 started!

Thanks, blutach! I already have burnt some MP3 files to a CD using the manual - worked great!!! But i have some questions. I didn't really understood what is 'PreGap' option does, because i didn't noticed any difference between '0 Seconds' and '2 Seconds' in both cases gap between files seemed to have same length. Am i missing something here? P.S. In both cases 'Session' object in the tree were highlighted. And with 'Session' object highlighted i've ticked 'Tag' in 'CD-TEXT:' option. But after disc being burnt, WMP doesn't show me the right information for track names nor Album nor Artist. Instead, it's saying 'Unknown Artist', 'Unknown Album', 'Track 1' 'Track 2' so on. What happent to the real media information? By the way KMPlayer is reflecting correct media info, while WMP - doesn't? Why? And also, there is no name shown for the 'CUE' image CD disc in 'My Computer' / 'Explorer' when the disc is in the drive. More to that, it seems like nothing on the disc at all. Although, the CD plays what been recorded to it. Is that normal? When saving a *.cue file, i shall select 'Ansi' when file name is in english (latin characters) and 'Unicode' for all other international characters (for example cyrrillics)? And that applies only to an album name/title (i.e. image's volume label), but not to a track names/titles. Right? After all i wish Imgburn can create DVD audio. Reason, not much can be put on a CD especially in 'CUE' image file format.

I got the same problem here. But the preview window showed up after around 45 seconds after hitting the red cross thing in the upper right corner. Always worked before. I'm on Vista. Edit: It takes around 25 seconds before the preview window shows up. Before it came up faster than Speedy Gonzales. My ISO file is created in ImgBurn. Edit II: One attempt resulted that after 10 minutes I had to kill the process/program. The thing we seems to have in common is that the "Start time" is zero in both ours cases. The ISO is from an episodic DVD. Tried to create the ISO from another program - but that gave me this window when I tried to load the ISO in the option "Main Menu -> IFO Layer Break Info".

I've also got a SH-S203B, although it does not seem to work very well with imgburn regardless of firmware, I still get "Potential 'WaitImmediateIO' Deferred Error - (99%, 0/3) - Program Memory Area Update Failure" Although the discs "work" (at least in my pc) since the second attempt at finalizing the disc always works, the quality is quite poor and my standalone dvd/divx/xvid player won't play them at all. The thing is I burned one successfull dvd with imgburn, afterwhich I've not been able to create a single other good disc, while other programs such as for example "cdburnerxp" works just fine. Here's a comparision of my latest attempt with imgburn and cdburnerxp Imgburn: Log for this burn: I 12:41:45 Operation Started! I 12:41:45 Building Image Tree...

I 13:04:06 Shutting down SPTI... I 13:04:06 ImgBurn closed! Same files, same media, same boot cycle, firmware, etc, etc using cdburnerxp: Also the disc plays just fine in my standalone dvd/divx/xvid-player. I'm not saying this is neccesarily imgburner's fault, but there does seem to be some issue with (at least) the sh-s203b and imgburner, considering other apps seem to work fine. And yeah, true enough the media might not be top quality, but I've tried 8-9 dvd's with imgburner (of which first was successful, also that first one did not have to retry in order to finalize disc), and next disc I pick (for cdburnerxp) happens to be good? It's not impossible the media was bad, but it doesn't seem very likely imho, I'm not going to try more discs with imgburner unless I get some tips on what may be at fault apart from the media. Any ideas?

Yes, you are in error here. The phrase "separation of church and state" comes from a letter that Thomas Jefferson wrote. I can't remember to whom the recipient was...perhaps someone else remembers? It has no basis in the Constitution itself (that document bans only "an establishment of religion"; i.e. the Federal government is forbidden to create an official church such as the Church of England or Roman Catholicism in Italy or Russian Orthodoxy in, er, Russia. In fact before the Supreme Court began it's war on religion in general--and Christianity specifically--no one gave much thought to Jefferson's off-hand phrase. Once the Left began the systematic assault on faith and people of faith, that sentence from a letter was raised to Holy Scripture. There is absolute nothing in the Constitution, for example, which prohibits prayer in school. We had a rabbi--I believe--give the benediction at my high school graduation and I don't remember anyone pitching a bitch about it. Of cousre, that was in San Diego which, back then, was far more Conservative than the rest of Cali (excepting Orange County). I haven't read all of the Federalist papers; it's possible that one of the writers mention it (the chief writer of which was Prez No. 4, Madison). Obviously on many, but not all, issues we're going to have to agree to disagree--and that's cool. I've gotten personal with some people on this forum and I regret that. So I tried not to attack you; apologies again if I did so, it was unintentional. My vitriol was saved for people like Steven Schneider, the Clintons, the Punk (aka Democratic National Committee Chairman--and Clintonista--Terry McAuliffe who took an $18,000,000 bribe from the head of Global Crossing, a man who stole hundreds of millions from the company and his currently building a $120,000,000, yes one hundred and twenty million dollar house!!! And he was never prosecuted! Shocking!!! I could go and on and on with the facts, but what's the point? Obviously we're not going to convince each other. The most we can do is state our positions as civilly as possible. I have a VERY liberal friend. We're both fanatic Rush fans--the band not the dude--and we went to their last concert together and we had a blast. And spoke nary a word about politics. We finally decided that since neither of us would accept the other's sources that continuing to argue was pointless. And, personally, doesn't that bother you? The two sides, Lib and Conservative no longer talk to each other, we talk past each other, as if the other side were a mere abstraction. Only one other time did political differences become so set in cement: the 1850s. And we all know what that led to. And I'm terribly afraid we're heading there again. Conservatives would win, of course, 80% of the military support us. But that's hardly the point. 2%, or 600,000, Americans died last time. That would be 2,000,000 in a replay fought with weapon unimaginably more powerful than those used then. I've been listening to Rush for 18 years (not everyday, but often enough and I'm a 24/7 Member) and, in all that time, I've never heard him lie or distort facts. He makes factual errors, sure, who doesn't? But I've heard him many times correct those. (E.g., "Oh yeah, yesterday when I said yadda yadda, I had the facts wrong on that one . Apologies to John Smith...") I remember some nutball left-wing group published a book called "300 Lies Rush Limbaugh Tells" or something like that. NOT A SINGLE LIE WAS DOCUMENTED. (SORRy XP's FucKING up With the capslock, there it seems to have stopped.) Anyway, the entire book was simple this group printing something Rush said and then disagreeing with him and calling the disagreement a lie!!! Rush always sources his facts. Always. If he doesn't have a source or can't produce it, he says so. Finally: the article I mentioned was not written by Rush. In fact it was published in a magazine who's name completely escapes me at the moment. Some cerebral flatulence. The mag's published by The Washington Times and it's editorial stance is very conservative; it's news coverage is as objective as one can reasonably expect--unlike the outright lies and propaganda disseminated by the Drive-bys. I'm going to have my wife pdf the article (not that I order her about; we dont' have a scanner at home) and I'll email to you. Here's a question: yes I know you've been (were?) a life-long Republican, but did you ever consider yourself a conservative? I ask that because the criticism you're making (and support for the policies implicit in them) appears very Left-wing to me. You even use some of the Left's favorite (and, imo) non-sensical catch-phrases. Oh, and I agree with you about the new Medicare "drug" benefit. It's ridiculous and will just advance the date at which Medicare runs out of money.[/b] There are many things to admire about The Younger Bush--he's kept us safe and destroyed two terroristic dictatorships. His willingness to allow people like The Hero of Chappaquiddick run over him (he let the latter write the so-called "No Child Left Behind Boondoggle." Funny how the party was against mandatory testing until the Prez co-opted the idea... And don't even get me started on that goddamned farm bill. Not to be a wise-ass, but the GOP controlled the House for 12 years and the Senate for 11 of 12 (thanks to "Jumpin'" Jim Jeffords' treason; not that it matters, he was RINO anyway.) (BTW: glaciers in the Andes are thickening.)

cdi support is un-official as I don't have the specs. What type of image is it supposed to me? A simple data disc? An audio disc? Burn the file in whatever program you used to create it.

They gave no clue. But as far as I can tell it was not a ImgBurn specific bug (as I found out later). Even MagicDisc itself locked up when being instructed to create an iso or uif image from a MagicDisc mounted iso image.

The reason? SCOTUS--the Supreme Court of the United States. The same august body that told you, when you were a cop, that perfectly good collars had to be tossed because somebody fucked up and used a Drug Warrant Form instead of a Murder Evidence Warrant Form (seriously: this dude tied his girlfriend up with electrical cord and burned her alive and the case was tossed because a cop grabbed the wrong kind of warrant application!!!! Why--and who--decided that we have to bow down to the Supreme Court? (In fact, to what are often five old people!) The Supreme Court is not given absolute power by the Constitution. Theoretically co-eval with the other two branches, there's no way the Founders thought it should be the most powerful! Yet we've made it so by the lack of will in presidents and congresses to tell the Court to go fuck itself. Congress controls which kinds of cases SCOTUS can review; it could have pared back the Supreme Court (and has done so occasionally, e.g. when it exempted from SCOTUS review certain kinds of terrorist cases). instead of trying to rein in the Nine Supremes, both parties try to pack it with judges they hope will support their agenda. THANK GOD the Younger Bush was able to put such able justices as Roberts and Alito on the court. Alito's great, but there other judges I would have preferred as Chief to Roberts (i.e. Scalia). There is no such thing as The Religious Right. It's a Drive-by media myth. If it exists... 1.) Who's in charge of it? 2.) Where's it located? 3.) When was it founded? 4.) Who founded it? Are there Christians who are politically conservative? Of course. Just as their are Christians who far left whackjobs (e.g. ministers who support the "right" of women to kill their babies). Are there organizations (e.g. the Christian Coalition, the former Moral Majority) who have/had a politically Christian agenda, of course. But there is not now, NOR HAS THERE EVER BEEN, any monolithic entity called "The Religious Right". It's all stuff and nonsense--as our Brit cousins put it. A complete, total and utter myth. <bangs desk angrily> The "Global Warming" hoax/scam was created by a scientists named Steven Schneider. Guess what I got Dr. Schneider preaching on an In Search Of in 1982? THE NEXT ICE AGE!!! Rush posted a Time magazine cover story on "The Coming Ice Age"; which detailed the imminence of the next glacial period. 25-30 years ago the Drive-bys were coming all over themselves about glaciers covering Chicago again. Dr. Schneider has publicly stated that it is acceptable for scientists to lie and falsify data in order to convince people of the truth of the Global Warming lie! His political goal? World Communist Government run by the UN! I shit you not. I'll scan in an article I have on him and post it. It exposes this Big Lie for what it is. Here's the facts: For the last 8,000 years the Earth has grown consistently cooler. PERIOD! Nothing has affected that general and over all trend that we are inexorably moving into a new period of Glaciation. The so-called warming amounts to ONE DEGREE CELSIUS and almost all of this happened BEFORE 1940. That's right before 1940! Before China and the Soviet Union's massive industrial development (from the 70s on for the former and from 1930-1960 in the latter). China now burns more fossil fuels than the United States!! And yet the stupid, ridiculous "Kyoto Con Job" would impose significant caps only ONE country (completely exempting China) and guess which country THAT is?!? To implement this farce will cost this country 10,000,000 jobs and will retard economic growth on a massive scale--exactly what are economic and political rivals and enemies want. Finally, Mt. Pinatubo (in the Phillipines) in 1991 put more so-called "greenhouse" gases into the aptmosphere in THREE DAYS than humanity has in 200 years of heavy industry! If the Global Warming Hoax were true, the ice caps should already be completely gone and global temps should have risen 6 degrees instead of one. Now, I apologize for SHOUTING, but the truth about "Global Warming" has been so buried by the Environmentalist Whackos and their accomplices in the media and the Left that many people are walking around believing total horseshit as though it were Gospel. It's absolutely and completely a hoax. And, it's just that simple! The Earth has been in an Ice Age for the last 2,000,000 years, the latest of many such ages (the first one was 700,000,000 yrs ago when the ENTIRE planet was covered in ice a mile thick; all life nearly perished). It has been calculated that during this time there have been at least fifty periods of Glaciation alternating with warm Interglacial periods. We are at the end of the latter. Glaciers covering Chicago are an absolute inevitability. The irony is this: if the Global Warming Hoaxers are, the collapse of the Antarctic Ice Cap would result in massive GLOBAL COOLING. You see, the ice would spread out the cover nearly the entire Antarctic Ocean. The sunlight reflected by all the ice--coupled with the huge drop in ocean water temps caused by all that ice--would cause the next glacial period to begin. NO MATTER WHAT THE ICE IS COMING BACK. And there nothing, absolutely goddamn NOTHING we can do about it. Don't, take this personally 'Wheel, but you pushed some of my hot buttons and I feel I had to respond. Ahh, the good ol' Corporate America Controls the Government Myth. <shakes head sadly> WRONGO! It's the Federal Executive agencies (i.e. the IRS, EPA, the Departments of Commerce, of Justice, of Agriculture, et al) that have the real power in this country. Congress and SCOTUS have used the power granted under the Commerce Clause of the Constitution (Article I, Section 8, paragraph 3, if you'd like to look it up for yourselves) to emesh this country in a sprawling, ever growing octopus reaching into every facet and aspect of out lives. (The Tax Code itself is 65,000 pages!!) The plain meaning of the Constitution--the greatest governing document ever written; the product of the greatest collection of political geniuses in the History of Man--is twisted beyond recognition (the "right" to an abortion) or just plain ignored (the right to keep and bear arms). We are in the grip of a power-mad, greedy, ruthless and unscrupulous bureaucracy manned (and womanned) by people who are convinced they know how to run out lives better than we do. And, it's just that simple. Yes, we are weakening--because FDR and LBJ were allowed to create an entitlement mentality in the middle class. They sang the siren song that the middle class was "owed" everything from cash stripped from their children's wallets (euphemistically called "Social Security", more accurately called "Socialist Security" by my (tenth) cousin the late Sen. Robert Taft) to free medical care ("Medicare"). Now people are convinced they have the "right" to other people's money. Rome didn't fall until she had rotted from within. For five hundred years she withstood massive, often co-ordinated, attacks by Germans, Parthians, Persians, et al, and fought them all to victory or a draw. Once the inside was hollow, it was easily for my Germanic ancestors to simple walk in and knock the whole rotten edifice to the ground. Which is exactly what happened.

ok ,lets bring this post back to life hehehehe just wonder if the new version of IMGBURN can create audio cd from mp3 files. Thanks Alx

I don't have DVDinfo installed and have disabled graph export in ImgBurn too. I'll create a backup for roll back ... Stay tuned
