The exact error I'm getting is saying: Unable to create or replace file, Reason: Access is denied! I thought it might be the movie I'm trying to copy but I tried about 15 of them and am getting the same error everytime.

get dvd shrink /re author , drag 1,2 3 to left create ISO then burn. really though the disc's you have done already are fine so you have not wasted them, you just got the titles on there twice ..double the viewing pleasure

Thx for the quick reply Ok understood - but are there any quality differences when ignoring the specs (as Nero or when pressing Yes in ImgBurn) and will there be any playback problems etc as opposed to rebuilding the image with ImgBurn? Also, should I tick the "Seamless & Don't Update IFO/BUP Files" in the options field within the "Create layer Break Position" dialog screen? What do these options do?

Need create ISO image from software data CD(bootable), and save image on hard drive. What is correct settings and what is steps?

What you're talking about is taking multiple image files and burning them all to a single disk that's playable, yeah? ImgBurn can't do this. Nor can anything else. What you need to do is re-author every file within every image so the IFO files you create with your authoring package are pointing to the correct place. It's a huge job and outside the scope of this software. BTW, WinRAR has associated itself with your ISO files. That's why they look like *ZIP files. Open WinRAR, select the OPTIONS menu and then SETTINGS. Next, click on the INTEGRATION tab and un-tick ISO then hit OK. Fixed.

Good question. There's an advantage to burning directly to disk. There's also an advantage to creating an ISO first. Straight to disk is usually going to be quicker for single copies. For multiple copies, creating an ISO first saves time. Also, any ISOs you create can be added to the "queue". If you have a few disks to do then it's alot simpler to build your ISOs first and then add them to the queue than having to build one then burn one then build one then burn one then build one.....

I haven't done it recently, so I'm not sure about the current version of ImgBurn, but a few versions ago (1.x), you could burn multi-track .BINs with it. So, unless any of the applicable code has changed, you still should be able to do it. In the Tools menu, select Create DVD MDS File. (I personally think this should be changed to Create MDS File, since the format's not only for DVDs, but then I'm not the programmer.) Drag the .BIN file into the box and click on Quick OK. You will then have an .MDS file to load into ImgBurn to burn your multi-track CD. It's a little more complex, but think of an .MDS file as an updated form of a .CUE file plus a .DVD file with a few extras added.

The mastering company is probably using Eclipse software to verify and create the glass master. Unfortunately, a ddp image is about the only thing you can give eclipse. Wheather it comes from tape, or a file set, it is all just ddp. Many replication plants will take DVD-+R media for masters. They will often inform you that you can't use RCE or CSS since recordable media doesn't allow for it. Many small replicators will take almost anything for a master. They are always trying to gain new clients and are very flexible. You should call around and see if you can get a better deal at another facility. If you really need to create and send a ddp, you can try Gear Pro Mastering Edition. Maybe a trial version or something is available. I know there is a create ddp function. Also DVD Studio Pro on the Mac has a ddp file output option, but I'm not sure if you need to create the project in DVDSP for this to work. Sonic has "Sonic Rom Formatter" but it is expesive so unless you know someone with a copy, it's probably out of reach. NC

Yeah I second that...why does it go down so much? Happy Birthday Volvo...never owned one, but I've been overtaken by loads. I think it said on the board you were 99, so well done for that.

Hey all I?ve got this prolem, really innoying cause I?ve done this before, but now I just cant seem to remember how I did it. Trying to create single layer iso from a video_ts file, and i can get up to the point wher I?m supposed to say where I want to save the iso file after its been converted. But the problem is that I cant save it anywhere, the program doesn?t seem to find anywhere to save the file... I?ve managed this before as I said, but cant remember how. Hope I?ve explained this so you understand anyways, I?ll post a screenshot from the guides aswell so you can see the problem area. I cant choose a destination to save-

Here's a quick rundown of the issue I'm having: I have an avi file i'd like to burn to DVD, so I use winAVI to convert it into the proper DVD format. When I'm done, I'm left with a folder that has the necessary audio_ts and video_ts folders. However, I have issues burning dvd's with winAvi (burning always freezes at exactly 10%) so I decided to use IMG burn because i've had great success with general image burning with it. So, I then create an ISO file from the dvd output mentioned before from winAvi. When it's done, I have an ISO file ready to burn. I burn the Dvd, put it in my dvd player.... and then the strangest thing happens... it starts playing, but in black and white, slightly scrambled, and rolling from top to bottom of the screen. Things I've tried: Re-Burning the image file to dvd Double checking the original avi file Checking the video outputs from winAvi It all checked out, so something is happening while the ISO is being created, or when the ISO is burned to DVD. Never had issues with the iso burning before, but this is the first time trying this with an AVI file. Not sure what to do. Any help or suggestions??? I"m totally stuck on this one!! PS I've tried the disc on another DVD player (got error message 'doesn't appear to be the correct tv system' on PS2)

You could also make a .dvd file (plain text file with .dvd file extension) containing the text: layer0.dat layer1.dat or use the 'create dvd mds file' feature, add the two files and make a .mds file. Then load the .mds file in Write mode. Then imgburn will treat the 2 files as a single large file.

If any of this info is off limits, moderators please edit or remove. The DLT tape itself will most likely not be CSS encrypted. The encryption process generally happens at the replication plant when they create the glass master. The keys are added at this point. Since they are so expensive, almost no DVD authoring facilities can afford to purchase the keys. If the intent was for this DVD to be CSS encrypted, the sector size written to the DLT will be 2054 rather than 2048. The 6 extra bytes per sector are where the CSS keys are written. 2048 is currently the only allowable sector size for recordable DVD's. If you read back the DLT (using Gear, Eclipse, your favorite authoring software, or other) you will get three files. CONTROL.DAT, DDPID.DAT and MAIN.DAT (sometimes MAIN.IMG) The only one you need to be concerned with will be the largest MAIN.DAT. The other two you can throw away. Rename the file with an IMG suffix and open in ImgBurn. When you try to burn it will inform you that it has a 2054 sector size and it will just cut off the extra. Say OK and burn away. Some players may complain that the copy protect flag is on (Quicktime) but the info isn't copy protected. This is fixable, but not on this forum. If you are trying to restore a DVD-9 (you will have two DLT's) then you will need to combine the two files together. The simplest way to do this is using the dos "copy" command. "copy /b layer0.dat + layer1.dat fullimage.img" Layer0.dat is the first layer, layer1.dat is the second layer and fullimage.img is the complete image fill output. You need to use the /b command to do a binary copy append. You can use ImgBurn to find a layer break, or you can calculate the layer break by dividing the layer0 file size by 2054 or 2048 where applicable to get the number of sectors on the first layer. This method is only a problem if the intent of the author was for the final pressed disc to be written PTP and the size of layer 1 is larger than layer 0. I hope this helps. Good luck!

After muliplexing (?) happens, I get this repeating error: "mpgtx: AT EOF- Please stop me!" Anyone know why this is happening? I'm getting frustrated not being able to burn my video. I am using Vista 32 bit OS.

UDF is an accepted format for both CDs and DVDs, so there's no reason for Joliet to be preferred over UDF. I, for one, only use UDF for both CDs and DVDs, unless I'm creating a disc to be read on *nix systems. My suggestion to you is to create two empty projects, one with Joliet/ISO9660 selected and another UDF selected and instead of opening Imgburn through the normal link, you open it using the projects.

Hi, I have been trying to search the forum, but I have not found the answer to the following: If I create an ISO for a dual layer DVD (this will be data only, not video), Does the MDS file have layer break information in it? I figure it does, I would just like confirmation. Thanks, Z

This should be pretty superfluous, since AFAIK a bin/cue-rip of a data cd and a ISO-rip are 1:1 identical. So you could do... 1. Read/Build to ISO 2. Rename to .bin 3. create a .cue file by hand (track mode 1 / sector mode 2048) or copy and paste from existing data cue file) Simply load the bin file directly instead of the cue sheet. While I don't see the point in using bin/cue for data CDs, I don't think it's a big deal to add it to ImgBurn, but then a bin file of a data cd and an ISO file are pretty much the same, so is it really worth the effort? On a sidenote: Does ImgBurn support track mode 2? Something similar to Exact Audio Copy's profile manager? Yes, sounds good. I agree! ImgBurn is the best.

Hello and welcome to another of my legendary guides *cough* In this one I'll be explaining how to use the new 'Automatic Write Speed' feature found in versions 2.2.0.0 onwards. For those of you that don't know, the 'Automatic Write Speed' feature basically lets you configure a set of predefined write speeds for any given type / brand of media and the program will automatically use those speeds every time you burn that type of disc, without you ever having to change anything. So when you switch between your good discs and your bad discs, or your single layer discs and your double layer discs, you don't have to worry about them burning at the wrong speed. Neat huh? =========================================================================== Right, so obviously the first thing we need to do is load ImgBurn. I'm going to assume you at least know how to do that! Once it's loaded, for the sake of keeping things simple, switch to 'Write' mode. You do that by clicking on the 'Mode' button in the menu at the top and then selecting 'Write', as shown in the picture below. When you've done that, your screen should hopefully look something like this: If you look at the red arrow in the picture above, you'll see it's pointing to the 'Write Speed' drop down box. Notice how the box currently has the word 'AWS' in it? Well, that means the 'Automatic Write Speed' feature is active and will be used whenever you burn a disc! If the box doesn't say 'AWS', it won't be! The picture below points out some text to the right of the 'Write Speed' drop down box. Whatever it says there is the actual write speed that's going to be used - based on your current drive selection and the media in it. If there's nothing specifically configured for either of those (or there's no disc in the drive), it'll just show '(MAX)' - meaning the disc will be burnt at maximum speed. Ok, so that covers how to turn the feature on and off ('AWS' = On, Anything else = Off), now lets actually look at how we configure everything... To start, click the little button as shown below. For those of you that can't work out what that picture is, it's a little green stick man running over a disc! Whoooosh! When you've done that, you should see a screen like the one below... Welcome to the 'Automatic Write Speed' configuration screen! Right, ok, the first thing you need to remember is that this feature sets the write speed based on the media you're burning to. If you didn't already know, every different brand / type of disc (well, DVDs anyway) has its own unique code. If you've ever looked around at any forum postings, you may have noticed the terms 'Manufacturer ID' (MID) and 'Disc ID' being used. These are the unique codes of the disc that allow us to tell who made then (or rather who made the dye used on them) and what speed they're designed for, be it 4x, 8x, 16x etc. Some of the 'better' discs are known to use the following MID's: 'MCC 02RG20' - Verbatim 8x DVD-R Media 'MCC 03RG20' - Verbatim 16x DVD-R Media 'MCC-003-00' - Verbatim 8x DVD+R Media 'MCC-004-00' - Verbatim 16x DVD+R Media 'TYG02' - Taiyo Yuden 8x DVD-R Media 'TYG03' - Taiyo Yuden 16 DVD-R Media 'YUDEN000-T02' - Taiyo Yuden 8x DVD+R Media 'YUDEN000-T03' - Taiyo Yuden 16x DVD+R Media For the purposes of this guide, I'm just going to create an entry for discs using the TYG02 dye (they're my favourite ). So I start by typing 'TYG02' into the 'Disc ID' field as shown below. (*Read the text below for an alternative method!) Please Note: If there's a disc in the drive, the 'Disc ID' field may have already been filled out when you first opened the AWS settings screen. This is because the program automatically populates it with the 'Disc ID' of the media currently in the drive. You can also click on the little button (as shown below) to manually achieve the same effect (i.e. Read the Disc ID from the current disc and copy it to that 'Disc ID' field). This can come in handy when creating several profiles in one go. Before I can move onto the next bit, you need to understand that the write speed used by the AWS feature depends on 2 things. 1. Is there a specific write speed setting (profile) for this media? 2. If number 1 is true, is there a specific write speed setting (profile) for this drive, based on this media? (This will become clearer in a minute!) The screen below shows me changing the 'default' write speed for the media to 8x. This value will be used if there isn't a (more) specific one configured for the drive. I'm using 8x because I know the 'TYG02' dye is just about the best you can get and that I will get good quality burns at that speed. When you've chosen your write speed, click the 'Add' button as shown below. As if by magic, a new entry will appear in the list! Ok, now let's say you've got a few drives in your PC and you want to limit one of them to 4x on that media. Change the 'Device' drop down box so it says the drive you want it to and then change the speed for that drive to say 4x. When you've done that, click the 'Add' button as shown below. (Notice it's not the same one you clicked earlier!) Now you'll see there's a new 'Device' sub-entry under 'TYG02' and it lists '4x' by the side of it in the 'Write Speed' column. Great work, give yourself a pat on the back! In the screen below you can see I've added another entry so my Pioneer DVR-112L will burn them at 12x. (Although this is only 8x media, the Pioneer can 'overspeed' them and burn at 12x). Click on the 'OK' button when you're done. (otherwise it won't save the settings!) Now, whenever I insert a TYG02 disc, the program will examine that table to see if an entry for 'TYG02' exists (which it does!). It'll then search the sub-entries of 'TYG02' to see if there's one for the current drive. If there is, it'll use the drive's write speed setting (4x in the case of the Plextor, 12x in the case of the Pioneer). If there's not, it'll use the media one (8x). Here you can see it in action... First lets start with a drive that's NOT specified under the 'TYG02' entry. Notice how the speed no longer says 'MAX', but instead lists '8x', because that's what we selected as the media's default write speed. Now we see the Plextor drive has correctly picked up it's (drive specific) '4x' write speed setting. And finally, the Pioneer drive with it's (drive specific) '12x' write speed settings. Right, that's about it for this guide! Hopefully you get the idea and have been inspired to now go through all the discs you use, creating little 'profiles' for each one. When you're done, it might be an idea to 'Export' your AWS settings to a file and keep it somewhere safe incase you ever want/need to 'Import' them again after a reinstall/rebuild. Good luck and happy burning!

I am creating a new ISO image with the new read feature of ImBurn 2.2.0, but the resulting ISO image file is not readable by WinRAR. I can take the same CD and use another ISO creation program and it works fine in WinRAR. I release this could one of 3 things: 1) A Bug in WinRAR 2) A Bug in ImgBurn 3) Not a bug but rather a different ISO format than the more common version of ISO (i.e. ISO v2.1 vs 2.3 (Made up numbers used only as a hypothetical example)). Since ISO images from other programs work in WinRAR I am thinking it is more a 2 or 3. The discontinued dvd decryptor would create files compatible with WinRAR. Since this is the first version with read function maybe it is a bug? Thanks for your help. Ruben

Although I don't know how it create problems in program updates (...and that shows how much of development I've "actually" done) but atleast its there if someone needs it.

The tool is called 'ImgBurn' - by definition it's for burning disc images. 'Write' mode is for burning existing images, it won't let you burn anything else. 'Build' mode is for you don't have an image file, but instead need to create / build one from random (non image) files that you have on your hdd. It you think about it logically, it actually makes perfect sense. If you're burning an image file, it would already be bootable / not bootable so that doesn't really come into the equation. There are guides for people who don't know what they're doing, there's not much more we can do.

Hi, I was trying to create a bootable CD too but was unable to figure it out on my own so I came to this forum. While I think that ImgBurn is an amazing utility, I think that the location of the bootable feature is not entirely intuitive. I spent quite a bit of time poking around looking (in the tools options menu mainly--there's a lot of impenatrable stuff there) but was unsuccessful. Now I know that you have to switch from "write" mode to the "build" mode (whatever that means) in order to activate the bootable option. I would normally think that one would want to "write" a bootable CD because "writing" is the action that one normally associates when burning a CD. I don't think that there is any way I would have been able to figure out that on my own.

will you burn something at 8X instead of max to see what happens ,your max speed was 15x+ but quality really drops after 12X you could try a change of media Verbatim aor Taiyo Yudens preferred check the FAQ section on the "threshold warning " PS post as much as you like its not a problem, thats what this forum is about trying to get some help and answers W 23:31:15 AnyDVD can interfere with ImgBurn's ability to verify accurately, please ensure it's disabled This is from your log ( yes its a proper log ), anydvd has been known to create problems disable it when you're burning it especially affects verifys

http://www.enterpriseitplanet.com/security...cle.php/3660921 Symantec: Change Default Passwords, Thwart Drive-by Pharming By Ed Sutherland February 20, 2007 Security vendor Symantec is warning broadband users of a potentially new threat able to reroute Internet traffic to fake Web sites. The hack could rewrite the internal address book of many home users' routers, which, for example, are used for setting up wireless networks. "This attack has serious implications and affects many millions of users worldwide," claimed Zulfikar Ramzan, a Symantec researcher and one of the authors of proof-of-concept code about the vulnerability. The threat, dubbed "Drive-by Pharming," relies on consumers to not change the default password once they set up their router with their broadband connection. Symantec said the practice could leave up to 50 percent of some 80 million broadband homes in the U.S. vulnerable. Ramzan, a senior researcher with Symantec's Security Response group, told internetnews.com the vulnerability would take only one line of JavaScript code and works on every router. "The very infrastructure of the Internet is under threat." The warning comes about two months after Ramzan, along with Indiana University researchers began researching details of the proof-of-concept. Although pharming is old hat, this new version attacks the DNS server settings of all consumer routers, including D-Link, Cisco's Linksys and Netgear. Hackers create a web page including malicious JavaScript code able to log into your router using the device's default password. Unlike previous pharming attempts, no links need be clicked or software downloaded. Victims need only visit a specially-designed Web site. Once inside, hackers could effectively change the router's DNS settings, redirecting your bank's address to an identical site maintained by attackers. "However, you'll never realize that you were at a fake bank since you trusted the address," Ramzan wrote in a blog posting explaining a potential attack. Consumers might think they are at their banking site, but they are actually at www.stealmyidentity.com, Gartner security analyst John Pescatore told internetnews.com. Pescatore said consumer router manufacturers favor ease of use over security. Router makers offer consumers instructions on how to change the default passwords. Linksys, for example, warns consumers to change their passwords. D-Link said it was aware of the threat. "We have redoubled our efforts to educate our customers on the importance of security in general, as well as the importance of changing the wireless router's default SSID and password, and enabling strong encryption," D-Link spokesman George Cravens told internetnews.com. Netgear was not immediately available for comments on the router threat. The lesson for router vendors: "Make security a standard part of the setup wizard, not a step at the end that says 'you should turn security on, and change defaults later, if you dare,'" advised Pescatore.
