Post the actual log please. The exact error message is important here as it appears the problem lies with your main storage device / system drive (i.e. C:\) Until the issue is resolved, have the program create an image file (from files/folder) rather than trying to burn on-the-fly (direct to disc). Once you've built an ISO (ideally, on another drive if C: is having issues), burn that to disc.

I actually wanted to post a reply on this topic: https://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?/topic/13062-bd-r-capacity-problem-driving-me-up-the-wall but for some reason there's no reply button. So feel free to move it there. I have exactly the same problem as the original poster on that topic. I am using oscdimg to create ISOs of my data and I burn them using isoburn (MS Disc Image Burner) on BD-R (NOT BD-RE !!!). I can only burn 24,220,008,448 bytes max (I think? I actually burnt 24.170.549.248 -> Sectors: 11.802.048, but I think 24,220,008,448 is the limit), but anything larger and I get: The disk image file is too large and will not fit on the recordable disc This I don't understand. I searched the entire internet, but I haven't found a definite answer There are 12.219.392 sectors on a BD-R 25, so: 12.219.392 * 2048 = 25.025.314.816 bytes So I should be able to burn that number of bytes. So there's a waste of: 23866 MiB - 23098 MiB = 768 MiB. What happened to those bytes? Here's what the consortium says: To provide an error free volume space to the file system, defect management methods have been widely used for rewritable media. This part of the disc management system replaces defective data units with a correct version in a pre-assigned spare area. Such a replacement scheme has been carefully designed for BD-R taking into account the write-once characteristics of these media The BD-R <<< (sic!) disc has an Inner Spare Area (ISA) and Outer Spare Area (OSA) in each layer like BD-RE (Blu-ray Disc Rewritable) So it seems 768 MiB (798.176.051 bytes ?) are reserved for error correction? When searching on the internet, some people will tell you 24,220,008,448 bytes are the max amount that can be burnt to a BD-R 25. However, there are some contradictory reports, like here: https://club.myce.com/t/bluray-media-that-gives-you-full-space-burn-with-lg-wh10ls30/295826 which state it IS possible to burn 25.025.314.816 bytes to a BD-R with a capacity of 25GB. Can somebody please clarify on this? Has somebody actually managed to burn more than 24,220,008,448 to a BD-R (again, NOT BD-RE !)? If it's possible, then why can't I do it? Here's my info: Burner: BDR-212EBK SCSI\CDROM&VEN_PIONEER&PROD_BD-RW___BDR-212M\4&2C9020CD&0&010000 Name: PIONEER BD-RW BDR-212M Media: Media ID: CMCMAG-BA5-00 Verbatim BD-R SL Datalife 25GB x6 oscdimg commands: oscdimg -u2 -h -o -m -us -r -udfver150 -lDiskName "Burnfolder" "burn.iso" OR: oscdimg -u2 -h -o -m -us -r -udfver150 -lDiskName -pEF -b"%windir%\boot\dvd\efi\en-us\efisys_noprompt.bin" "Burnfolder" "burn.iso" Burning: isoburn e: "burn.iso" So what is causing the reduction in space? The burner? Blank media? oscdimg? isoburn? Or is it part of the SONY standard after all? Also, I still haven't found a definitive answer on the MAXIMUM amount of bytes that fit on a single/double-layer DVD+R. Please provide an answer in bytes, I need the exact amount.

I've switched to a different CD files folder with 20 files for testing. I found that the one I'd used for the Original Post sometimes fails to exhibit the problem. I wonder whether it depends on the order in which Windows passes the files. I know from experience with my own programming that the files don't necessarily arrive in the sorted sequence of the folder listing. The files all have Track# populated in the tags. I don't know whether ImgBurn sorts a passed list by track# or filename - for me it would be the same. I had 'Default Disc/Track' set to 'Custom/Tag' since I use our pastor's name and the church for the Disc Performer. When I set Disc/Track to Tag/Tag and pass a selection of multiple files, the Disk Performer name comes from one of the files (all have the same Album, same as Disk). This setting change had no effect on the track list portion of ImgBurn_TrackListing.txt except to show our pastor's name as Performer in the last track (since now it doesn't match Disk Performer). The other tracks showed the filename instead of the Tag info. Again after the default setting change, if I drag the files individually to the Create CUE File window, the TrackListing file correctly shows the Tag info and no filenames. This is the same result as with Default = Custom/Tag except that the Disc Performer now comes from the 1st file passed.

So where it says 'Default CD-TEXT (Disc / Track)' down the bottom right of the 'Create CUE' window, you have 'Tag' selected in both drop down boxes? The only time the track listing would use the file name is if the track's configured CD-TEXT Title and Performer are both empty. btw... yes, you should/can get an email if a reply is posted in a 'followed' thread - subject to your notification settings, which you can configure here: https://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?/notifications/options/&type=new_comment

When you add one of the problem files to the 'create cue' window and enable the 'Tag' option for CD-TEXT, does it fill out the 2 fields below with the correct info you expect to see? By design, the individual track performer info is removed if it matches the performer of the disc. That's why your 9 and 10 didn't have it. If I add someone's album and all the info is filled out everywhere, I want the album name and performer at the top and then all I need are the song names, not the performer and song names. That's duplicating info for no reason.

If you have a preexisting image set that ImgBurn has already created, you can create an MDS file with the Create MDS File option under Tools. To always have ImgBurn create an MDS file whenever it creates an image, under Tools --> Settings, set the following: Build --> Page 1 --> Create Image File Layout --> Choose either Auto or Yes --> Image Layout File Format --> Check the MDS box --> OK

Adobe Premier Elements 2020 does not create an MDS file for projects that require DL discs. What fields and their values must be entered for Imgburn to create the MDS file?

Guys, you know EAC has read/write offset correction, and we use it to create perfect backups of albums. But it can't be used to backup old game discs with audio tracks: It has no mixed mode CD support, neither does CD extra. The alternative solution is to use ImgBurn, but it has no offset currection and make the backup LESS perfect. Is it possible that ImgBurn will have offset correction, making it a perfect disc backup maker?

Or you could do what I do. When you have a Voulme ID number you want cataloged, before finalizing that disc, make a folder in the root directory with the name using that Volume ID number. This way, you can just look at a disc's root contents in File Explorer for that Volume ID number's folder name and you've found the disc you're looking for. I always create some kind of Volume Label that uniquely identifies the contents. Then, if it's not an Audio CD, I put a folder with that Volume Label name, or a series of subfolders making up that name, in the root directory of the disc.

Thanks for your help. Yes I opened the .img file in Windows using a program called OSFMount... that made the folder and files available in Windows file explorer so I could use ImgBurn to build a new ISO file. The hidden folders are certainly there in the ISO file. They don't show when I use Disk Image Mounter in UBuntu but I can use a mount command from the command line in Ubuntu to show them. So I know how to make the hidden files/folders in the ISO file appear in Ubuntu. But what I am curious about is why they don't appear when I use right click open-with Disk Image Mounter from the Caja file explorer. It must be something about the settings ImgBurn uses to build the ISO and I am wondering if someone can help me with how to choose the right settings in ImgBurn so that I create an ISO file that can open in Windows, Linux and macOS simply by double clicking on the ISO. I don't want to use any other tools or tricky command line programs. Cheers.

I used Linux to create a disk image (.img file) that contains files and folders using dd and rsync. I then used ImgBurn in Windows 10 to convert that img file to a .iso file. I did this because double clicking on the .img file did not result in it opening in Windows 10 unless I used a separate program (OSFMount). So this .iso file that ImgBurn made DOES open in Windows 10 and I can see all files and folders in it including hidden files and folders. However, when I use Disk Image Mounter to open the same .iso file in Linux/Ubuntu I cannot see the hidden files and folders.... even with Show Hidden Files enabled in the Caja file explorer. I used these settings in ImgBurn to create the iso file from my img file: MODE1/2048 ISO9660 + Joliet + UDF UDF Revision: 1.02 All of these options are selected: Preserve Full Pathnames Recurse Subdirectories Include Hidden Files Include System Files In Advanced > Restrictions I have... ISO9660... Character Set=DOS UDF... Disable Unicode Support is NOT selected. Is my problem something to do with these settings? I made another ISO file from my original .img file using mkisofs in Ubuntu and this time the created iso file DOES show hidden files and folders. Thank you, Flex

Any other programs for discs with both audio and video? At the moment I'm trying to read a Doom shovelware CD called "Cobra Utilities for Doom & Doom II" from 1995. It's just a data CD and the disc looks to be in mint condition. When I try to create an ISO at max read speed it says "A timeout has occured whilst parsing the ISO9660 file system". I clicked on Yes to tell it to give more time to finish but the error pops up again after several seconds. If I click No then it starts creating the ISO. Why's it giving an error if it IS able to create an ISO? Anyway, in the end, I just cancelled everything and restarted the ISO creation process and this time it started creating the ISO without showing me the error message. Any idea what all of that was about? Log is below: I 20:26:44 ImgBurn Version 2.5.8.0 started!

Hi, I've got a few game CDs/DVDs and game demo discs which nobody else has uploaded anywhere online so while I can create a hash of a CD I have nothing to compare it against to check if my CDs have bitrot or not. Is there a way to check for bitrot/missing data with ImgBurn when backing up to an image if I have no other file to compare my image backup with? Will ImgBurn simply fail to create a backup image if the disc has bitrot because data is missing? Also what image formats should I backup games to for game with and without redbook audio? How many different types are there? Thanks

I am trying to create a music cd from a group of mp3 files in directory I:\FILES\MUSIC\FAVORITES I have created a CUE file that looks good. I have tried both methods described in the guides section with the same results. When I play the cd the names displayed are Track1, Track2, etc. I have gotten this to work properly before but do not know what has changed. Any suggestions would be appreciated.MUSICCD.cue ImgBurn.log

Hello. I have used ImgBurn successfully to create ISO's of several PS2 games that I had, and have tried several times to take the ISO's of two particular discs. However the program wouldn't read either of them. I even had the disks professionally buffed and cleaned and one of them did say it was "finding media" or something of that sort, but it was taking far too long. I opened and closed the disc drive and now it just says "Device not ready. Medium not present. Tray Closed." I searched for a log, and all I found was this one (which was probably during the aborted initial attempt). ; //****************************************\\ ; ImgBurn Version 2.5.8.0 - Log ; Saturday, 17 July 2021, 17:20:16 ; \\****************************************// ; ; I 17:16:49 ImgBurn Version 2.5.8.0 started!

Assuming you're talking about a home brew DVD-Video disc, that would have to be done in the authoring software you use to configure and create the compliant, burn-ready files. ImgBurn only burns said files to a disc. What software are you using to author your DVD-Video discs?

Hi everybody, I'm new in this forum. I currently have the Nimbie N21, I've added it to ImgBurn (as described in the guide). What I'm missing is how to let the system load automatically DVD in order to create a ISO file from DVDs. The system detects the Autoloader (as seen from the log at the beginning), but is not loading automatically DVDs at the end of the Copy. The message "Operation completed" appears, and it is necessary to press "ok", and re-start the reading process.

Is there a way to set a custom media capacity or max sectors in L0 from command line? Like the Advanced -> Media -> Double Layer [Custom] -> Max Sectors in L0 [4173824] Basically I just want a way to create a DVD ISO file without thinking about size. Never going to be burned to disc. Solution: the settings for advanced double layer custom stuff seems to be saved on exit and used by default from then on

It is very odd. Sometimes Imgburn offers to create .bin file and sometimes .iso file when I rip an audio CD. I can't figure out how or why it decides this. I have always AFAIK wanted a .bin file. If it offers to create a .iso file and I make a name like myartist_title.bin it still says it's creating a .iso file. To be sure I'm getting a .bin file I need to click the dropdown and select .bin instead of .iso. This is frustrating. I have hunted in the Tools/Settings' tabs and can't find where I can configure Imgburn to offer to create a .bin file instead of a .iso file. I figure it must be there somewhere but I can't find it. What am I missing?

I have used ImgBurn for a few years now for checking if my purchased PlayStation and playstation 2 discs. are completely readable. and recently discovered the Sega Dreamcast / Saturn reads too. - I create IMG from DISC, and if it reads 100% and creates a file, the disc is good !!! if the read errors start at 67% - I know it's scratched and not completely playable. - and after a month or two had no HDD space left - had to go delete them - lmao. ( could you add more ? xbox, 360, ps3, GameCube, Wii ? ( I have Pioneer BD-ROM BDC-202 ) - or make a standalone with the option to not save the image created. - I'll purchase it !

There is one last option if those I mentioned don't pan out, but it requires a bit of work. You could post your BIN/CUE combo to cloud storage and give me a link to it. I can then burn the BIN/CUE to a rewritable disc on my end, create a new set with CCD/IMG from it, and put those files on my cloud storage, sending you a link to the new files. You can then mount the CCD in Virtual CloneDrive and treat it like a physical CD.

Is there a way to create a .CCD file from a BIN/CUE set? I see there isn't a Create CCD option in Tools like there is for CUE, MDS, and DVD. Is it possible to create a CCD file from a BIN/CUE set so it can be used with Virtual CloneDrive or must CCD be created from a disc at the time it is read in Read mode? It may not be possible because I've noticed when .CCD file generation is enabled in ImgBurn, the file output format is .IMG. Thanks!

Oh, do you want to mount the BIN as a virtual drive so you can treat it like a virtual CD drive? You said you have .BIN files, but do you also have .CUE files or a .CCD file? If you have the original disc, try reading it to an image file set with ImgBurn in Read mode with .CCD file generation enabled. Then, install Virtual CloneDrive, with which you can mount the .CCD file as a virtual drive and copy/run the contents from it like you would a real CD. If you don't have the original CD and only have a BIN/CUE set, then I don't what you could do beyond burning the BIN/CUE file to a rewritable CD/DVD/BD and make a new image from that disc you just burned so you get the proper CUE/CCD/DVD file generation. There's no Create CCD option in ImgBurn like there is for CUE or DVD for use with Virtual CloneDrive. And, you may be unable to burn this BIN. I forget which it is, but ImgBurn doesn't support writing images with multiple sessions or tracks.

Solved! I used this guide to get around the boot image file requirement: https://www.intowindows.com/how-to-create-bootable-windows-iso-from-filesfolders/ Little did I know there was a nearly identical guide on the ImgBurn forum itself: https://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?/topic/11194-how-to-create-a-windows-vista-7-8-installation-disc-bootable-using-imgburn/ I just needed to supply the "etfsboot.com" file which was already on my USB drive. So I copied all files and folders from the USB drive to a new folder on the desktop (C drive) before adding that folder to ImgBurn as source, and then specifying the boot image file from within that folder. I wanted to make a backup copy of the Windows 10 build that's already on my USB drive (it's the May 2020 update and still supported) before I format the drive, and I also wanted to see if it's possible to make it bootable (just for learning how it's done). I have not this sort of thing in years. Most guides I found on the web explain how to use existing Windows ISO files to create bootable CD/DVD/USB. I wonder why the extraction function is not working? Is that for Windows XP only?

All of these ranging read speeds were on "DVD Video" discs in that that had VIDEO_TS folders, but they were made by a Panasonic DVD video recorder. So, I had to copy the VIDEO_TS into an image file in Build mode since they create multiple sessions/tracks, I forget which. The later ones read faster so I was wondering if there was some kind of read descriptor in them that might have a higher value as they were newer discs and, therefore, had higher speeds available.
