Burn VIDEO_TS Plug in

[Baldrick2]

Hi Folks

 

Long time no see!

 

Great new release of ImgBurn (thanks LUK), does even more stuff I don't understand!!

 

Please, before I start, I want you to know I understand that the plug in question wasn't written by LightningUK. I also have to confess, much to my embarrassment, that I can't remember who who wrote it, or where I got it from ( I have it saved on a CD and install it with every new OS reformat)

 

The plug in is the one that adds a context menu item 'Burn with ImgBurn' for VIDEO_TS folders

 

Has anyone else noticed that it seems to have 'stopped' working with the latest release?

 

That's not entirely true. It still works only now it wants to put the whole directory, where the VIDEO_TS folder resides, onto the disk (or into the image)

 

I've had a search of these forums and can't see anything regarding this. Does anyone know if there's a solution?

 

It's an incredibly useful addition and I'm kinda missing it!

 

Thanks for any info

PS If this is a really old issue then I apologise, I didn't have the tinterweb for about 4 months so playing catch up on all sorts of things

 

OH...so here is the log

To explain...VIDEO_TS was the dir I wanted to burn as a dvd. In G:\ISO's to Burn there are many DVD iso's. The Plugin picked VIDEO_TS and the first one to burn as well..as you can see from the \..\xxx.iso bit. From my reckoning that meant every iso in the dir

Did you edit that log *at all* ?

 

Only I wonder where the '..\' is coming from.

 

E 01:52:03 Name: G:\ISO's to Burn\VIDEO_TS\..\Bridge To Nowhere.iso

Edit, ok I see that the plugin itself adds the '..' bit.

 

So it actually passes the path 'G:\ISO's to Burn\VIDEO_TS\..' to ImgBurn.

 

Then when looking for files, ImgBurn will scan 'G:\ISO's to Burn\VIDEO_TS\..' which is basically the same as saying 'G:\ISO's to Burn' because '..' means the previous/parent folder.

 

So it's adding everything from 'G:\ISO's to Burn'.

 

My advice to you? Don't put the 'VIDEO_TS' folder in 'G:\ISO's to Burn', put it in 'G:\ISO's to Burn\disc name'. That way only the 'G:\ISO's to Burn\disc name' folder will be scanned for files.

 

To sum up... this looks like user error to me.

haha!

 

Harsh

 

But yes, that makes more sense. I guess I must have changed the output directory structure to what it was before (to where the VIDEO_TS dir was being saved)

 

I suppose I never really looked to see what the plug in was doing before, and what it was adding to the iso. It always just worked

 

Thanks for the replies

oops I forgot the emoticon on my post!

 

My comment 'To sum up... this looks like user error to me.' was supposed to be tongue in cheek
