That's what I meant in same folder as cdspeed etc. And as mentioned above its not create disc but disc quality

You don't want 'Create Disc', you want 'Disc Quality'.

I get errormessage saying: NO ADISSIONAL SENSE INFORMATION (0000000) when I try running discspeed and create a disc.

Hi, everyone! I'm trying to create a single layer ISO on hard drive using ImgBurn. But i have a problerm entering the file name for image file in the 'Destination' box. Don't know what's the problem. Need help!

I don't know what IFO BUP or VOB files are unfortunately, so I can't answer that question. What I can tell you is that I use DVD Shrink with DVDFab Decrypter and Imgburn for my single layer discs. I don't really know how they all do what they do, but I am able to make them work. I just let them create their folders and then retrieve them in the next program and they do the rest. If there's something more I need to do with my DL discs, then I just need someone to tell me. I can't get to the next step in the guide I mentioned because I can't get it to open any of the folders created by DVDFab. I was in build mode. I followd the few steps carefully before trying to open the folders. I'll check out that other guide you sent. Thanks.

Thanks for the above link. . In fact I used the steps suggested on one of the posts in the forum Now I got some understanding. I used to burn dvd data disks using Roxio Easy CD media Creator 5.0. It was accidentally deleted recently. When I create a DVD data disk with that sw, I could retrieve the data when I boot that disk. I am not able to do this with IMGBURN software. Surely I am missing some basics. I am totally in a learning process. Here is what I have done. I started with about 6.0 GB of a MP3 folder as source file. I chose a destination file onto my hard drive . Here are the steps: Mode - Build - browse and selected source file from hard drive Output - Imagefile - browse and selected a file on hard disk- checked to verify Options - ISO9660 + UDF - Recursive subdirectories Lablels - entered same label under ISO9660 and UDF Advanced - Date - entered todays date Media - under single layer DVD+R/RW - under double layer DVD+R DL Restrictions - ISO9960 - Level one - Charac. set standard Finally clicked BUILD waited for the build to complete. I got advisory msg not to use ISO file the sw changed it to MDS In the output directory folder I see 3 files look like the following test dvd 4,194,300 kb I00 file date test dvd-1 1,868,300 kb I01 file date test dvd 9 kb MDS file date I clicked test dvd - I got the following msg Windows cannot open the file I selected Imgburn as a program to open the file I see a Imgburn screen . How could I see my original MP3 files. If it were actual dvd disc burn, I would expect to see my original directory of MP3 files when I place the DVD data disk in DVD drive I do not see what I have done wrong. Could someone comment on this ? Do u suggest I should try actual DVD burn instead of Imagefile ? Thanks in anticipation of ur reply. anant

I've had no trouble with this before today, but have tried 7 or 8 times today with no success. I use Verbatim media, so I'm sure that's not the problem and I have tried various speeds, all resulting in failure! I use Nero to create the img file before using ImgBurn to write it. Below is my log. Thanks to anyone that can help. I 19:48:44 ImgBurn Version 2.3.2.0 started!

Like IFOs. Create them with IFOEdit but doi ensure the VOBs are DVD compliant (size and mux) Regards

I am new to this business. I have several mini DV tapes that I recorded with my camcorder. I want to transfer them to DVD. I hooked the camera up to my computer, and used Windows Movie Maker (came with the computer) to create the files. But when I tried to burn them to a disc using ImgBurn, it didn't work. I printed out the instructrions from the "Guides" section and followed them to the letter. Is it me, the video files, or the fact that I am using DVD-R's?

im using DVD Flick to burn videos to dvd. During the Finalize process ImgBurn opens and I get the following error: ---------------------- Cannot add file to image! Name: ......\dvd\dvd.iso size: 4, 382,752,768 bytes File size exceeds the limit imposed by the ISO9660 file system. ----------------------------- I don't really understand why ImgBurn opens at all because i assumed DVD Flick would do all the work. In the settings i choose to burn to disc and not to create an ISO image. The video does not exceed the dvd disk space. I can't get past this point and if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance.

you do not have to manually set laybreak if .DVD is present )eg right click on .DVD and choose burn with ImgBurn and make sure your using the latest firmware for your writer and set booktype to DVD-ROM and burn at 2.4. use xbc2.5 and it will create .DVD , the way you typed it appears as if your manually creating .DVD file and make sure in xbc2.5 you tick complete and not just partition The full log would help as pointed out above.

I just bought an Optiarc AD-5170 A. I just threw away a Plexstar 716A. The Plexstar lasted only about a year and a half with minimal use. What a POS. I bought it thinking it was a great drive. Oh well. I bought some cheap NX2 dual layer media from Circuit City today to try out my new burner. I bought the DVD "Cars" and wanted to copy it for my wifes grandkids. I used DVDFAB to rip and Nero Recode to burn. I chose Recode intire DVD to DVD, imported ripped files and changed to DVD-9. Burned the movie. I lost the main menu that had all the extras I was trying to get for the kids. The movie played but with no main menu. I used to use ImgBurn to make ISO files to attach to Daemon to run DVD2ONE. I only did this because DVDDecrypter had to die and I couldn't rip ISO images directly from the media. To make a long story short I remembered this software and that I could create ISO images so I downloaded it and followed the great guides on this forum and burnt a great disc with all the goodies. The kids are happy and so am I. Thanks Chef

No, I didn't change a thing. Here's what I did, as I typically do: 1. Prepare source files with PGCEdit, use PGCEdit's "Burn DVD/Create ISO" just to see potential layer break positions, set the seamless flag manually in PGCEdit, save the source files (note that I remove the backup directory first), and then exit PGCEdit. I've noted the sector number that PGCEdit calculated at this point, by the way. 2. Open ImgBurn and press F6 to enter debug mode, add the root directory for the DVD to the build job. Note that I usually employ a directory structure such as the following DVD_NAME Burn VIDEO_TS AUDIO_TS So I add the Burn directory as the root of the build job. 3. I set custom dates and labels in the job 4. I then press the calculate icon in Imgburn - it presents me with layer break choices, none of which match that calculated by PGCEdit 5. If I haven't already, I add a blank DVD (usually it's already inserted) 6. I press the Write icon in Imgburn - it presents me with layer break choices, with at least one matching my choice that PGCEdit calculated 7. The burn proceeds and finishes fine! So, as you can see I've done nothing outside of ImgBurn between the calculation and write stage. As I've said, I've encountered this three times in the past months, though by the volume of DVDs I burn, I'd estimate that amounts to less than 5% of the instances. In addition, since the sector calculated by ImgBurn's write mode is correct, the DVD is written correctly with the desired LB. The only time I was thrown off was the one time when ImgBurn stated there were no appropriate layer break positions when I pressed calculate, but as I said when I pressed write, it found potential LB positions, one of which matched what I had chosen/calculated with PGCEdit. What also seems to prove that I'm not changing anything between the "Calculate" and the "Write" is the fact that the sector number at ImgBurn's write stage matches PGCEdit's calculated sector number for the same sector. If I was changing some data between the Calculate and Write stages in Imgburn, you'd expect that the sector number at the Calculate stage would match PGCEdit's, and THEN change when the Write stage started... So, if this is a spurious error with the sector calculations, it is hard to duplicate when it only happens in less than 5% of the instances, and it is of little consequence since it ends up writing correctly. I only mention it in case you wanted to examine possible reasons. You are probably bored since 2.3.2.0 has had little complaints since it was released! :-) Seriously, it looks like you've squashed all or most of the bugs... Any ideas how I can troubleshoot further? Regards, fordman

ImgBurn is a burning tool, not a backup one. If you want to backup data to multiple discs you need a backup tool - or at least a burning tool that's geared that way - ImgBurn is not. With ImgBurn, what goes in = what comes out. If you give it 10GB of files it'll create a 10GB ISO file. It won't create multiple discs with independent file systems and a few folders/files on each.

@Martin H Yes this exactly how LUK understood it, it's not wizard, it's just a screen taht can lead to the principal area of the program. And ImgBurn is probably used by ppl whose native tongue is not english, and is certainly proposed to non english computer "newbie", I think a bit and only a bit of attention to their clumsiness is nice for them. Btw i don't really like them either (wiazrds), but sometime it is a good thing for some ppl that can be lost on a computer. And on this program i don't think it's a good idea to create a wizard anyway, and a welcome screen is probably well enough. @blackdavinci Wow, your mockup is great, i'm backing up this design

Hi, I'm looking to create a bootable DOS CD disk that I can burn with IMGBurn. I've got some Virus programs that I'd like to place on a DOS bootable CD to check out an ailing WIN XP machine. Thanks, a newbie with IMGBurn

I guess I should be clear. When I use dvd shrink to try to rip it it says no disc. But when I pull up img burn , img burn recognizes that something is on the disc. I guess im not sure what I can do because without shrink i cant create the file for img burn to burn however img burn does recognize theres something on the disc. i hope that makes sense

Read mode is all about creating ISO images - that's it's sole purpose in life. If you're NOT getting an ISO, it's probably because you're making the image on a drive using the FAT/FAT32 filesystem - whereby the image must be split into 4GB sections or the computer blows up (kidding). The MDS is then used to join (virtually) the two back together (in software that supports MDS files). For people using NTFS for the file system on their hard drive, the program will create an ISO and then an MDS if it thinks it needs to (i.e. for double layer discs where the layer break position is then stored in the MDS).

I was hoping to use imgBurn to create ISO images from my DVD's and then use microsofts virtual cd/dvd controller to mount them and be able to watch movies from my HD that way. I can't seem to figure out how to create an ISO image file. could someone help me know which options to select in order to do that. Also, is there a way to mount the MDS file and play the movie directly from that? TIA -Parley

Hi all I had a Raw DVI file (wedding 2 vhs tapes 5 hrs 10 mins total) file that was converted to 8.5gb VideoTS, so that i could burn it onto Verbatim DVD+R DL. I had used Nero to encode the DVI, which it did so without any chapters and layer breaks. I was told to use Voblanker to create a Layerbreak Which I have done Here (Please read) http://forum.digital-digest.com/showthread.php?t=83016 OK I have split cell 17 10 times at at 43,700 intervals at sector (rel) which has given me a Average Break. Should I go back to Cell 17 and do another 10 spilts (so that i hit a good break) or should I burn, and what are the odd of getting a Average Break second time around Also I know that VHS quality is really low compared to DVD quality.... Can I just put the entire 5hrs 10mins wedding onto a Single DVD+R (4.5gb) and will it be vhs quality or lower thanks

If you just want to copy an unprotected disc, simply use Read mode to create an ISO of it on your hdd and then use Write mode to burn that ISO to a new disc.

Does the process to create a Data double layer ISO differ to that of a movie/video, or is it the same? I want to backup all my data files, e.g. programs, etc, and have until now used single layer DVD discs. I have D/L discs, and would like to use them for my data files. Thanks in advance.

I'm trying to create an ISO file from directories on my hard drive. This is the contents of the batch file I'm using to achive this: "C:\Program Files\ImgBurn\imgBurn.exe" /MODE ISOBUILD /BUILDMODE /SRC "C:\Data\SourceCode\VLAN_Setup\" /DEST "C:\Data\ISO\VLAN_SETUP.iso" /NOIMAGEDETAILS /ROOTFOLDER YES /OVERWRITE YES /RECURSESUBDIRECTORIES YES /PRESERVEFULLPATHNAMES YES /VOLUMELABEL "VLAN_SETUP" /START /CLOSESUCCESS The problem is that the RootFolder switch has no affect. I'm getting the "C:\Data\SourceCode\VLAN_Setup" folders before the files. I need the contents of the VLAN_Setup folder to be at the root of the ISO image. Help!

Recently I've been making lots of coasters when I burn a DL disc using imgburn. This did not start to occur until recently. I've been trying to burn a TV series(multi episodes on a disc). First I use imgBurn to read(rip, dump) the dvd to an ISO onto my HDD. Then I use imgBurn to Write the ISO to a DL Verbatim disc. The Disc is recorded 100%, but when I go to play it back, The audio skips sometimes, or I'll get full audio and NO VIDEO, or the audio of the menu screen will skip and I'm not allowed to fast forward into the chapters. I'm using a Pioneer recorder, Verbatim DL media, and my imgBurn is up to date. To test some things out I used dvd decrypter to create the ISO and then used ImgBurn to write the ISO to a Verbatim DL disc with complete success. The problem with relying on this method is that dvd decrypter can not always rip the lastest dvds.

After re-installing Windows, I used my previous ImgBurn settings which I had backed up. The original Graph Data folder no longer existed and when I burned an image, the graph data file was placed in the root folder, instead of the folder being automatically created. To reproduce, 1) Create a folder (eg. D:\ImgBurn_Graph_Data) 2) Go into ImgBurn and set this location as the graph data folder 3) Delete the folder created in (1) 4) Burn an image The graph data will be placed in D:\, and not D:\ImgBurn_Graph_Data\
