Thank you all for the answers you were very kind;) I reply to Ch3vr0n, but actually there are other backup programs, but the best that created Lightning Uk! It is still dvd decrypter even if it is frozen for years, said this I do not remember but on the internet said that DVD shrink compresses too much and you see squadrons, honestly as the graphics of the program I do not like, dvd fab or hd fab said that some dvd made with program could stop for a few seconds in the home player .. so I let it go .. then informing me I understood that the best decrypter and a copy 1.1 (apparte makemkv if you want to extract the episodes always in quality 1.1) in short after many tests and tests not on the obvious keyboard now I'm quieter, then in that case that some DVD (ISO) you should see bad then I opt for dvdfab to do it again from the original. Now I reply to the creator of the two special and wonderful programs of which is Lightning Uk !, then one thing however I have to say eh ahah that is with all the crap of programs that are in the circle type backup software that copy bad but I say just the were they supposed to stop? In my opinion because it was too good they will have it shut down, and others who copy badly have left them (I do not know the story and my business but a program of heart in my opinion with others of now splitting a mess) if only you could awaken;) yes I'm encouraging you Lighting ahah. However, I need a backup program that does the ISO and then burn them on a double-layer DVD so I can see my copies where and when I want and also want to launch them from the window ahahah. Imgburn always finalizes WOW;) said this I do not know what to say you're a great man to create the two software. Then as an alternative to other programs I use these dvd d and imgburn;) never give up and if you need donations even with little I try to do them ;-) thank you very much to everyone and good night or morning if it is morning with you. Dvd d it works great / funziona benissimo

So instead of bumping the previous one you decided to simply create a new one? Stick to a topic. Http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?/topic/25469-help-me-please-imgburn-2580 Verstuurd vanaf mijn Nexus 7 met Tapatalk

Hello and good evening LIGHTNING UK!, In fact I would like to thank you for creating two beautiful and beautiful software without any hitch (problem) including DVD Decrypter and ImgBurn (the second part of the first program) I immediately explain my past without going around too much: * For personal use * DVD Decrypter Version 3.5.4.0 1. To make copies of the original DVDs use DVD Decrypter in ISO mode that creates all dates dating back to the data in which the DVD was created. 2. In the program settings, I leave everything as default, as it is, but only changing the RCE * Region 2 * code since I am in Italy. 3. I leave the program to create ISO and look at the folder below * Log * if there were any errors or not. The closure of the program was solved without any problem as 8 folders were to be closed; 1. Go animated DVD Decrypter, and with the right mouse button down go to properties. 2. Once you click on properties go to compatibility and run the program for: * Windows XP (Service Pack 2) * or * Windows XP (Service Pack 3) * The program suggests Windows (Service Pack 2), once this operation is done DVD Decrypter does not let you exit the 8 folders at the end of the program. ImgBurn Version 2.5.8.0 * The instructions I always leave Default without touching anything * 1. I open ImgBurn and click on Burn an image. 2. Add the previewed ISO with DVD Decrypter. 3. Set writing speed to 6x / 8x (Use a speed not too high otherwise incurred burning errors). 4. Verify the successful burning with the * checkbox * active check box. 5. Start the burning process from ISO to DVD. 6. A nice process for original DVDs and also reproduce in the PC on VLC. LIGHTNING UK !, I ask you what you did in these steps with both DVD decrypter, or with imgburn if they do it well or I have to set also Something in Imgburn since I want to finalize the disc only once and I only use the double-sided Verbatim DVD, hello and thanks 1000

Hello My 1st Topic I need to be able to boot from a CD, but then either the CD must have extra files (that I would add) or I must be able to use a different CD in the drive afterwards, JUST LIKE a 3.5" floppy can. 1-Boot from cd1 (DOS401 CD I already made) 2-Take CD1 out 3-Put cd2 in 4-Run program OR 1-boot from CD1 with 401DOS ISO and with some other files on/in it too. UPDATE I can create a bootable CD with the DOS401 ISO, and it'll boot. But I cannot put a different CD in and run an exe on it, or even DIR for that matter. So then with IMGBURN I tried to add a file (3c5x9cfg.exe) but ended up with IIRC 8 files (4 DOS, 2 DOS hidden, 1 DOS401.iso and the 3com exe) instead of a bootable ISO with 7 files in it. So then I used another program which seemed to work...It APPEARS to be the DOS401 bootable cd with an extra file (the exe) BUT, after booting I cannot see the exe doing a DIR. So I'm thinking maybe it's hidden, like the other 2 Hidden as they don't show up with a DIR either, so I try to run the exe typing the name of it out, but it can't find it that way either. So, I'm still searching for ways to boot from a cd and then run a program. Ahhh...the joys of a 3.5" drive !!! And they call this new stuff progress !

Thanks for the response, Lightning! Actually, there shouldn't be any problem with reading the entire physical drive, or just the MBR. As I said above, I wrote code to do that a long time ago. (I wanted create backup copies of hard drive partition tables after having been burned too often by partition utilities -- Partition Magic; Windows disc manager -- corrupting the partition tables.) If ImgBurn is doing a direct binary copy of the entire partition, I'm guessing you're running with sufficient privileges to access the rest of the drive as well. AFAIK, extracting a boot image from a floppy and from a flash drive should be just the same, but perhaps you know something I don't. I'm guessing the MBR you insert was written to work with some versions of Windows pre-execution environment, but short of disassembling the bootstrap code I couldn't say specifically why it doesn't work with other OSes. One experiment I did, which I omitted from my post, was to create an image file of the entire flash drive myself, and use that, but then ImgBurn complained that the signature of the MBR didn't match what it expected, so it went ahead and substituted it's own bootloader anyway. :-(

You said you're trying to create an ISO from files from a bootable flash drive with ImgBurn? ImgBurn doesn't support bootable flash drives for boot images as far as I know. So, even if you extracted the boot image from a bootable flash drive, copied over the contents from the flash drive, and created an ISO, I don't think it would work. LUK might know some bootable settings to change to do this, but as far as I know, this won't work.

I've been trying to create a bootable CD/DVD/ISO from a bootable USB flash drive. Google search brought me to try using ImgBurn for this, so I downloaded and installed, it, but it doesn't seem to work in this case. Just to be clear, I'm trying to create a bootable CD with the Seagate "SeaTools Bootable" package https://www.seagate.com/support/downloads/seatools/, so I can run hard drive diagnostics. No, Seagate does NOT have a downloadable ISO on their web site -- at least not that I can find. Instead, you download a windows executable, which will format your flash drive and copy all the utilities onto it. This flash drive boots up fine on multiple boxes that I've tried. I thought it should be relatively easy to convert this to a bootable CD. Boy, was I wrong about that. The process I've been using, which seems to be correct from reading the guides is: Open ImgBurn Select "Create image file from files/folders" Add all of the files from the flash drive to the project. (I think this is optional, and just duplicates having the files in the boot image.) Go to the Labels tab and enter labels Go to the Advanced | Bootable Disc tab and select "Make Image Bootable". Go down to the "Extract Boot Image" pane, select the flash drive, and click on the little save icon. This will create a "BootImage.ima" file. When that's complete, ImgBurn asks if I "would like to use the boot image file in your current project?" and I click "Yes". This sets the Emulation Type to "Hard Disk" and sets the Boot Image to file I just created. Optionally, type some text into the "Developer ID" box. It doesn't seem to matter what, if anything is entered there. Click on the icon to create the ISO. As I say, this DOES NOT WORK. ImgBurn says is successfully created the ISO and there are no errors messages (log attached), but the resulting ISO is not bootable. If I try to boot it, I just get "Missing operating system". I spent several hours and burned a bunch of useless coasters trying different variations: different sized flash drives, different media, CD versus DVD, trying to boot different computers, different optical drives, trying to boot Virtual Box with the ISO, etc. Nothing worked. Always the same result: "Missing operating system". Digging down, I found that what the ImgBurn "Extract Boot Image" function does is, it makes a binary copy of the FAT32 partition on the flash drive, but it does not read the MBR (master boot record) from the flash drive. The .ima file produced is a binary disk image, but ImgBurn prepends it's own MBR boot code and creates a partition table in the image de novo. (Background: hard drives are formatted with an MBR at sector 0 which contains the partition table, and -- optionally, if the drive is bootable -- some bootstrap code in bytes 0x0 thu 0x1BD of that sector.) Examining the MBR that ImgBurn writes to the .ima file, the only thing I noticed that seemed off was that the field for the "number of sectors in the partition" in the partition table entry was wrong (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_boot_record#PTE). The number there was the LBA or sector number of the end of the partition, i.e. the start sector plus the size, instead of just the size. This really shouldn't matter; I don't think the bootstrap code looks at that field. In any case it wasn't causing the failure. When ImgBurn creates the ISO, it does a binary copy of the .ima disc image into the ISO file, without modifying it. Those bytes are stored contiguously in the .iso file, and it's relatively easy to find the location. (In my case, it was always at offset 0x81000.) I verified that the MBR with it's bootstrap code hadn't somehow gotten mangled in that step. I have some code I wrote a while back to read the MBR of a hard drive or flash drive (actually, the entire "hidden" system area from sector 0 to the start of the FAT partition) and write that to a file. This is how I know that the MBR that ImgBurn writes to the .ima isn't the same. I used Visual Studio Community Edition's binary editor to open up the ISO file, and copy bytes 0x0 thru 0x1bd from the flash's MBR to the MBR image at offset 0x81000 of the ISO. And that worked! Now the ISO produces a CD that actually is bootable! (Well, OK, it doesn't boot successfully everywhere, but it does boot up on the system I wanted to used it for. And in none of the failure cases am I getting the "missing operating system" error anymore, so those failures must be some other problem. A problem with the payload, not the ISO creation process.) I don't know why ImgBurn is ignoring the correct (at least in my case) bootstrap code from the source drive and substituting it's own. I assume there I some reason for this. But the boot code that ImgBurn provides is obviously not robust enough to work with any operating system. (The Seagate tools use SYSLINUX and something called "Tiny Core Linux".) ImgBurn.log

In terms of playback, there's nothing different in a DVD Video that is playing from a recorded DVD disc versus a pressed disc. My guess is whatever is doing this is system based. It's something your PC is doing for whatever reason. If you were to play this on a stand alone DVD player, it would just start automatically playing, if it plays at all on a stand alone DVD player, like a Playstation. Also, what are you recording on this DVD? Some DVD you made yourself? If so, it may be down to how the software used to create the VIDEO_TS authored the DVD.

Isn't the bottom line really ImgBurn can't create ISO's of flash drives to begin with? So, bootable or not, ImgBurn won't create an image of your flash drive. But, I guess you're asking how can ImgBurn create a bootable ISO in Build mode that you want Rufus to burn to a flash drive so the flash drive is bootable? You want to put the different utilities all on one flash drive, I'm guessing? I doubt you can accomplish this since each utility requires a different environment to run in. Plus, how would you get to a boot environment to select which utility to run? Some run in "DOS" but some run in WinPE.

Missing etfsBoot If this topic has been discussed before, I apologize for not being able to find it. Search function was used, without any result. Many diagnostic and utility CDs are missing etfsBoot. Examples which come to mind are Hirens HBCD and its different variations like DLC etc. Same is true for F4UBCD, Gandalf’s CD, Strelneck CD etc. I can put the contents of any of these CDs on a USB stick, and make them bootable using Rufus. Here is my problem: Let us aasume I have any one of these utility CDs on a bootable flash drive. I want to prepare a bootable ISO image of the bootable flash drive, using ImgBurn. How do I do this? I even tried borrowing the etfsBoot file from Windows 10 installation DVD, and putting it in the root directory of the flashdrive. The ISO I created still gave me an error BOOTMGR missing. Let me repeat my question: Q: How do I create a bootable ISO of a bootable flash drive ( missing etfsBoot) using ImgBurn?

I downloaded the last version of madFLAC: madFlac-1.10 . This was written in 2011. I didn't use the InstallFilter.exe or install.bat. I did a manual install of the madFlac.ax & libFLAC.dll to my Windows/System32 folder. Then I registered madFlac.ax with regsvr32 in the Run window. The I tested with ImgBurn: Create Cue File. I browsed for a FLAC file & selected it. Using the right click of the FLAC file & selected Display DirectShow Filter List. This is what I got: DirectShow Filter List: 1. -> madFlac (The Pusher (Live at The Matrix, San Francisco 1967).flac) (Vendor Info: Unknown) 2. -> AC3Filter (Vendor Info: Unknown) 3. -> Sample Grabber (Vendor Info: Unknown) 4. -> Null Renderer (Vendor Info: Unknown) This is with the flac still checked in LAV filters. So madFLAC is selected instead of LAV when it is installed. That explains why your OS is using madFlac over LAV for FLAC files. I then unregistered madFlac.ax with regsvr32 /u in the Run window. So now my OS is back like it was & show this: DirectShow Filter List: 1. -> Source (Vendor Info: Unknown) 2. -> LAV Splitter (Vendor Info: Unknown) 3. -> LAV Audio Decoder (Vendor Info: Unknown) 4. -> Sample Grabber (Vendor Info: Unknown) 5. -> Null Renderer (Vendor Info: Unknown)

Thanks for your patience LIGHTNING UK! I'm not having any problems creating .cue files from FLAC or any other audio format I've tried. Just trying to learn some more. @ dbminter I don't have madFlac installed. When I "browse for a file" from the "Create Cue File" in ImgBurn the LAV filters being used show in my systray like in this image: This is the LAV Splitter & the LAV Audio Decoder I do have flac checked in the "Input Formats" in the splitter & in "Formats" in the Audio decoder .

ImgBurn uses DirectShow for audio decoding. It specifies the source file and tells it the output format required. Everything else is pretty much automatic. Yes, source will be the file... or something that can read the file. For this stuff, ImgBurn is querying DirectShow for everything it’s using to create the ‘graph’. The vendor info stuff is again, coming from DirectShow. Some filters fill it in, others don’t.

@ LIGHTNING UK! I followed your instructions to right click on a FLAC file in the Create Cue File being created. This is the result: 1. -> Source (Vendor Info: Unknown) 2. -> LAV Splitter (Vendor Info: Unknown) 3. -> LAV Audio Decoder (Vendor Info: Unknown) 4. -> Sample Grabber (Vendor Info: Unknown) 5. -> Null Renderer (Vendor Info: Unknown) Sample Grabber & Null Renderer are related to Microsoft qedit.dll. Their File Merit is set to 00200000 which is "Do not use". I tried a couple of softwares you suggested in other topics: InstalledCodec & DirectShow Filter Manager . I also have other software that does about the same. None of these show : Source (Vendor Info: Unknown) or just Source. Would you explain the meaning of "Source (Vendor Info: Unknown)" ? I believe I understand that Sample Grabber & Null Renderer are not being used. If Source means the FLAC file itself then I understand what that is. I believe that LAV Splitter & LAV Audio Decoder are what ImgBurn is using to Analyze FLAC & other audio files. Is this correct from what is shown ? Just to note so far ImgBurn hasn't had a problem for me creating a .cue & has successfully analyzed all audio files I've tried. I've even burned some to an Audio CD RW without a problem. To test if they would burn. I've even tried to find an audio file that would fail to analyze but I haven't so far. BTW any other forum member that wants to post is welcome to do so.

Yes, once you've added your file to the 'Create CUE' window, right click its entry within the list and pick the 'Display DirectShow Filter List' option.

When I create a cue file ImgBurn uses the LAV filters I have installed. I have the LAV filters set to show in the system tray when they are in use. mike_p do you have LAV filters installed ? The ImgBurn log doesn't show any information about the cue file creation. I would like to know if there is a way to see if directshow filters are also being used.

When you load files into the Create CUE interface, they are Analysed from 0% to 100% as the entire duration time is scanned. If a file cannot be imported because it's not supported or is not formatted correctly, it will not not import. If it's not supported, it will simply file to import right at the very start. If it's not formatted correctly, Analysing will stop at the point where it fails to process and ImgBurn will "hang" briefly while it retries. After a certain timeout period of retries, it will say it failed.

I successfully imported a test M4A. I didn't actually create the CD because most failures of this kind would occur at the importing stage. And I don't know if I needed madFLAC or not for this. It was already installed so if it is necessary, I already had it.

Can ImgBurn create an Audio CD with Create CUE File from CD tracks ripped to Apple Lossless Codec .M4A files created by iTunes? If so, does it need a specific set of "codecs" installed like FLAC requires madFLAC installed? Thanks!

What you will be creating using Build mode is the .iso file. I prefer to create an .iso to the hard drive even for a single layer burn(Write). Maybe if you install or have a virtual drive then Mount the .iso created by ImgBurn you will understand the .iso created by ImgBurn better. When you open the virtual drive after mounting the .iso will look like the DVD complaint folders & files that were on the DVD you ripped them from. I use Virtual CloneDrive from Elaborate Bytes but there are others. DVDFab has one also. Both are freeware (or were the last time I checked). For the "file splitting" setting I believe the Default is Auto. That's what it is in ImgBurn on my OS & I don't remember ever changing that setting. Once you have the .iso use ImgBurn Write to Write(burn) the .iso to a blank DVD disc. Also make sure the .iso size will fit on the DVD blank you use. For a single layer DVD blank that is 4.37GB max. I prefer to use 4.35GB as the max myself. If the size is over that you need to use a dual layer DVD blank.

You will never have ISO files in a VIDEO_TS folder. In fact, if you did, the resulting DVD probably wouldn't play if you had anything else other than VOB, IFO, and BUP files. ISO is the file type and file name extension of the image file Build mode will create and Write mode will burn. Unless you specify file splitting in the ImgBurn settings, which are more advanced user settings. Then, the file won't be named with a .ISO extension at the end.

I have a Japanese Playstation game that I would like to create as a .bin or .img file but it has been running for over an hour. How long does it actually take to create a .bin/.img file from a 581.65MB, 259,313-sector Japanese Playstation game? It is 0%, still on "Analysing Tracks (Session 1, Track 2)" with the log at "File Splitting: Suto"

I have tried winimage and get an error when trying to recreate disk - "current image format is not supported" As regards imgburn I was looking at the bottom of the comholio7 document - - http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?/topic/1779-imgburn-build-mode/ "'Create Boot Image' can be used to read a bootable floppy disc to an image, or extract an existing boot image from a bootable CD. You just need to select the source drive and then click on the picture of the floppy disc. It'll ask you for a name for the image and then start creating it. It's is this type of image that the above mentioned 'Boot Image' option would point to."

Imgburn has some capability for floppy discs. The main purpose is to take an archive and be able to recreate the disc if needed. There are very few windows programmes that are able to create an image archive. WinImage, MagicISO, etc, etc are all a bit flaky.

Hello, I have read through the forums. I have a couple BD recorders, built into a laptop and a few LG drives in desktops. I read that LG was not a good drive for dual layer, which If would have know this before I would have bought something else.. But anyway, I have never burned a BD disk. So I have a program that is 55gb in size. I found Smartbuy 10-disc 50gb 6x Blu-ray Bd-r Dl Dual Layer Double Layer White Inkjet Hub Printable for about 1.89 a disk in a 10 pack on amazon. I would need to span across 2 disks. I also found 50 Verbatim Blu Ray 25 Gb Bd-r Single Layer 6x Speed Original Spindle Printable Blueray at 1.39 per disk and have to span 3 disks. Both will cost me 4 dollars to burn this project. My question is can I just drag the 55gb folder into the IMG burn software and it will span the disks? Or if I create an image file, will it span the disk? Back in the old days of floppy disks, if the file was to big for the disk it would span disks. I hope this is the case for blu ray.. If not, then I probably will never use the burner aspect of my drives which is a shame and buy a large external HD and store files there. Thanks!
