What made the MDS file and yet gave you an image created by Nero? There's nothing to say the LB in that image is correct. Go back to the raw files (IFO, BUP, VOB etc) and have ImgBurn create it's own layer break position and then ISO file by using Build mode. Of course you'll need to be using Verbatims for it to be a fair test.

Hi Everyone, Just joined the forum, so first post for me. I'm a relative newcomer to all this and have worked my way through a lot, but am stuck with a layer change problem I think I have. I've successfully copied to single layer, but not dual layer. I'm using Traxdata DVD +R DL discs and the first part of the DVD plays fine, but a couple of DVD players I have go loopy at what I believe is the layer change, although I can't be certain. I've used RipIt4Me/DVD Decrypter to create an ISO of the disc I wish to copy and then used Imgburn to burn the ISO. To my mind, this should be an exact replica of the original so the layer change should be identical also. The disc I copied was bought for me as gift from a friend's visit to China/Beijing and is a DVD-9 and plays perfectly. I'm doing something wrong, but don't understand what. I've looked at the guides on this forum and people seem to do things a lot differently in that they don't appear to be creating ISOs. Hope you can help and many thanks in anticipation Best Regards Dumfy

I am burning a movie and used DVD Shrink to get onto the hard drive. How do I get it into ImgBurn to burn it?? I get an error when I try and burn it. The error says: ISO Write mode is for burning disc images, not VIDEO_TS files. Switch to ISO Build mode, add your VIDEO_TS folder to the list and then create an image. If you don't know what you're doing, read some guides. If you don't, you'll end up creating coasters! Thank you for your help.

Kinda newbie question, but what is: padding ? , % ? , LU? , V/C ID, and SPLIP ? It appears in the titles of the "Create Layer Break Position" Just wanted to know what each one was, and what is the best option. Sometimes all the options appear with a silver star/avg rating for layer break. So just wanted to know how to tell what will be better. -Thanx

Hey Lighting...how about adding the ability for users to create there own plugins for imgburn would certain cut down on the feature requests. look at firefox...by its self its pretty boring...but add some nice plugins/extensions and u open up a whole world of whoop-ass also if I could find the specifications on the MDF file format used by alcohol 120 do you think u could impliment burning the images...properly (raw dao 96) so annoying having to install alcohol 120 for those kinds of cd images

Hi - receive this when trying to create .iso from DVD: Read of scrambled sector without authentication Is this security I won't get around or a genuine problem with the media? Thanks - newbie...

That sucks. It would be a great feature of imgburn. Anyone know of another way of doing this? SizeMe and Burn to the Brim don't actually burn the discs, but they merely calculate number of discs needed and/or create ISOs. I want something that will not only calculate how many discs you need (keeping directories and subdirectories intact), but will actually (and most importantly automatically) burn files/folders to disc and eject disc after burning, and propt for next blank to be inserted

And "again". the answer will be no , until LUK decides to go down this road again, LUK has seen all the arguments in favour of audio cd burning, but until he decides to implement it we will have to wait Bit baffled as to why you find "burrrn" crap , or you dont like it ?. its so simple and easy to use, and does a good job of creating an audio cd, even WMP is usable by most people for simple audio burning yes its wanted by a few people, BUT, does LUK "want" to create it ?? does it fit in with his idea of what he wants ImgBurn to be ? It would appear not at this moment in time No one will flame you , as long as you read and respect the replies you get to the question

after i burn an image file or create an image file from an ISO file and burn them, they wont play back on home DVD player

depends, you have made a few coasters and said you were onto your last disc and if you were trying to fit too much onto disc and accepted the warning and it was far too much for the media, your disc would be wasted, This would still apply if you created ISO first though and then went to burn it and accepted warning but at least you could see Size in a more calm manner, slow and steady instead of impulse. I like to create ISO first but then i keep the ISO a few weeks. Not much difference otherwise.

Its not that bad a suggestion , Why tell him to go and get other software . I use both software and it would be one less app on my PC if ImgBurn could create audio cd's with the build mode. When someone suggested creating a DVD with .vob files it was done , and nobody said go and "try something else" This is the suggestion forum after all. @ piovrauz , i second your suggestion.

I got this message when attempting to burn to DVD+R DL. I'm trying to back up one of my dvd's. I used AnyDVD+CloneDVD2 to create the .iso and created the .mds using DVD Decrypter. This was my first attempt using ImgBurn. I have been using DVD Decrypter to make my DVD9 backups without any problems. I was just curious as to why I'm getting this error.

i am trying to create iso files of some dvd's i burnt a long time ago with nero. img burn seems to be outputing a iso file that has a sector size of 2448. anybody know what is going on? imgburn wants to convert them to 2048 but that makes them unreadable in a player.

I have a similar Problem like you. It's not a DVD it's a CD but the Errormessage ist the same. I even tried another Drive and Computer but it did not change a thing. I'll double check the ISO-Creation now since it's located within the ISO not the burn-process. I've been creating a SP2 Slipstream XP CD with it's own bootloader (xpboot.bin / computerbase [de]) but I have no Nero so I choosed CD BurnerXP Pro 3 to create the ISO. Maybe I need to burn a CD first and then create the ISO of it. Is there a freeware/opensource ISO Creator someone can recommend? --hakre BTW ImgBurn really does a great Job!

Are you trying to burn something other than an iso image using "write" mode? If so, try using build mode to create an image either to hard drive or on the fly to the disc. Write mode only supports writing image files. [edit] I thought for once I would be able to answer one of these first.... I guess I need to type fast around here!

Follow this guide: ImgBurn Build Mode Notice that this will create a data DVD with your MKV inside. But, if you want to burn a disc that will play on any DVD player, you'll first need to convert that MKV to DVD-Video. You can find guides for this conversion at VideoHelp.com Layer break for data DVDs is calculated automatically, and only for DVD-Video you'll have to choose an optimal layer break.

each time i had to cut the power..so no log..Im now trying: create a ISO containing a RAR file of the 8 .iso files...then Il burn it using IB..an see if that makes any difference

Yay, the magic phrase was finally uttered, PIO. I got that clue early on, when someone mentioned that the CPU usage spikes when the buffer dies. PIO = using CPU to move data around, at very slow speeds. Normally this data-movement is done by the controller. At any rate, Windows hit its infamous problem of decreasing maximum transfer rate, for no apparent reason, without being able to restore the maximum speed via any user interface. Oh, how I love Windows. It tends to create threads this long for such problems. (I'm high as a kite right now so... pardon my rambling. XD) Run this... then go back to device manager, set to PIO mode, then back to DMA. Bam, on the fly, you'll be set to UDMA mode once again, and your burning problems will be no more. FixDMA.reg It tells Windows to quit limiting your disk drives... it writes to the most common location for the ATA controller settings, so it should work. Wonder why this thread went dead before the solution was found though?

OK. Back to a standard El Tortito boot disk with a 2.44MB DOS boot image (.img) containing all the good DOS files and the remainder of the CD containing lots of other good stuff. So I create the .IMG file and point ImgBurn at it for the: Advanced | Bootable Disc | Boot Image at that .IMG file. I leave: Advanced | Dates | Volume Dates empty as it was when I found it. I leave: Advanced | Dates | Folder/File Dates radio button "Use File Date & Time" selected as it was when I found it. I compile my El Torito bootable disk ISO file and hey presto! (hey li chee? any Rupert fans out there?). All is fine and everything works. However, for no reason that I can tell, if I then break the .IMG file back out of the ISO, it and its associated BootCatalog.cat file both have a date 31 years ahead. Actually, not EXACTLY 31 years. Latest example I have is: IMG File Created: Today, April 02, 2007, 10:34:51 IMG File Modified: Same as "Created" IMG/CAT File from ISO Created: Monday, January 18, 2038, 22:14:08 IMG/CAT File from ISO Modified: Same as "Created" If I did something wrong, I can't think what. If not, although somewhat erudite, "it's a bug and it undermines the security of the software which will deter people from depending on it for anything important" (well, I'm quoting someone who made a lot of money out of good software but I can't remember who and I aint gonna look it up! lol). No panic cos the average user wouldn't know how to find it, but if it's as easily fixable as it is repeatable, I'm sure it will get done sometime. (Note that ImgBurn creates the BootCatalog.cat which is new to me as I always had to provide it before and now it won't accept it if I include it in the same directory as the IMG file so the error is probably only in the IMG file stamp unless in creating the CAT file, it copies its stamp back to the IMG file which would be a trifle odd.) (As far as I have so far checked, all the other file date/timestamps match the original files used for the build.)

hello, I am all new to this program.I was trying to burn a DVD which I have on my drive (DVD FabDecrypter) and as I always used Nero before I now wanted to try out ImgBurn. You have two guides here for that so I followed the guide according to:Burning DVD Video files directly to double layer media with ImgBurn.Everething was illustrated very nice and get nearly to the end when in the last step I get the message:Burnthread runtime exception!Message=EAccess Violation and I can`t continue. I have a LG Drive which can burn Dual Layer media and I?m using Verbatim DL-Media as recommendet. The only thing I didn?t understand was: Normally you shouldn't worry about ticking the 'Don't update IFO/BUP files' box, and you should definintely not tick it unless you have prepared IFO's in advance containing layer break info. I didn?t tick that.What is exactly the problem?Should I create first an ISO-File with ImgBurn as described in the other guides? Thanks for helping out.I?ve uploaded a screenshot of the error. kostas Error.doc

Yeah - that's El Torito for ya! lol El Torito sticks the contents of the Boot Image (in this case 2.88MB) in as A:. Can't see them in the directory structure of the CD - it's an IMG file you insert and it can only be seen with an ISO buster like ISOBUSTER and the files in it - DOS boot and DOS utility files - can only be seen if you then break the IMG out - ALL of which I do in XP or Vista but right now in XP as I am still tinkering with tests in Vista before any prod machines use it). It disables the "swap diskette" drive (normally B:) and uses that for a FDD (if you have one). No idea what you mean. I'm not messing with a real floppy. I keep a diskette on one box on the LAN for those odd times when it's needed (normally to aim at it without a diskette in it when testing some software tricks which need a physical FDD to do some things even without a diskette). It SHOULD be able to read ISO9660 and Joliet but not UDF. I did my learnin' burnin' years ago with Roxio, then Adaptec (both yucky). Then when I started making bootable CDs, slipstreamed OSs and now boot USB sticks based on El Torito, I almost exclusively used Nero Burning ROM. Trouble is that I just got the OEM bundle of it and it doesn't HAVE Burning ROM - only Nero Express without the ability to make bootable CDs (did Nero forget why they became successful? lol) and I'd have to shell out even more money for the Vista version of Nero. Now with multi-boot partitions on all the boxes with Vista, XP, 98SE, DOS and Linux, getting one piece of software which will work on XP or Vista and create CDs for all the partitions means I am testing several burning programs. ImgBurn looks like it's ahead of the pack but it has some odd quirks and if this one isn't my mistake, I probably have to move on. Shame - it's a darned nice piece of software WHICH TELLS YOU WHAT IT IS DOING which is getting rare these days with the "we think for you idiots cos you don't understand our software" mentality lol Wow! Not sure why you would want to do that! I only throw these old systems on the boxes so that software which CLAIMS to be able to run on old OSs actually can for reporting to others about them. Also because there really is some software which has never been replaced successfully but which has not been upgraded to work in new OSs. Good luck going back past Win98SE though! Thanks for the swift reply. Actually I am trying another version of the burn (I'm up to 4 so far in ImgBurn which is less than the other programs needed to get this far, but they are keeping other boxes busy lol!) I'll post a [sOLVED] if I find the answer.

Ive just stepped up from DVD decrypter to this software. I was trying to create an image file and burn a movie I have downloaded. I used the build feature, which put an ISO & MDS file on my desktop. I burned the image file, and it will open and play in windows media player, but will not play in my DVD player or even Intervideo WinDVD. Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong and why it will not work... im not all that literate with the software, or burning for that matter... so please explain to me in english THankyou so very much for your time and help

Happy Birthday from me to. You don't look 60 in your avatar - must be an old picture. Now that you've reached the Age of Discretion watch out for strong drink and loose women...you wouldn't want to miss any Aries: The Myth: People born under the sign of the ram are supposed to be hot headed, quick tempered, impulsive, impatient and impossible. They love to give orders and they hate to take them. They are fearless but thoughtless, energetic but disorganized, gloriously independent, wonderfully ambitious and eternally hungry for a new adventure. The Truth: There is of course, an element of truth in all this but there's a lot more to the story. We're talking about an inclination, not an obligation. Many people born under this sign are wise thinkers and careful planners. It's just even the most mild, meek mannered member of this cosmic club has another "secret side". There will always be one area of their life in which they simply cannot stop themselves from picking fights, breaking rules and taking wild risks. The Key To Success: If you were born under the sign of the ram, you should consider yourself blessed. Aries personality traits are extremely useful and they can, if put to proper use, ensure a life full of impressive achievement. You've got amazing willpower and initiative. There's nothing you can't tackle if you try. You need though, to watch out for a tendency to create a life full of difficulty, just so that you always have something to sort out. You like living "close to the edge"; but if you could only manage to stand one step back from it, a lot more of your projects would come to fruition.

I read the guides... although it only says for 'build' mode about using the TS Video folder. I was using build mode to actually create the image file, so I do need that process. I am not creating an image file from DVD, I have a downloaded avi file that I wanted to burn. WHen I use the build mode to create an iso file, when I burn it it turns it into a video clip, which must be why it will play in windows media and not WinDVD. Am I able to use just this one program to create and burn from an avi file... or do I have to continue using another program to encode it so I am able to then burn it with ImgBurn (which I havent had any problems with doing it this way... its just ImgBurn doesnt seem to work with downloaded movies). I cant give you the log as I had already closed it, and after wasting 6 DVDs already (which are very expensive in our country) I am not going to bother doing it again unless I think I have a chance of it working, lol. Thanks heaps, I appreciate the help.
