kenshireen Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 I have 2 AVI files that I want to put onto a single DVD... I click and drag them into the box on imgburn and then select write file/folders to disk. What has been happening is when imgburn starts running it shows 2 files and the total file size of both the files combined... However, when the DVD is burned it shows both the titles of the files but only the video of 1 of the files...It is as if imgburn recognized both avi files but only burned the video of one to the DVD even though the title of both files still shows up when I go into COMPUTER and read the E drive. How is this possible? Thanks, Ken
mmalves Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 ImgBurn's Build mode burns files as they are, i.e. it doesn't change anything. If you want them on a DVD disc that works on any DVD player then you'll need to convert them with DVD Flick, ConvertXtoDVD or similar programs.

If explorer shows that there are 2 files on the disc and you can play each one individually via Media Player or whatever then there's nothing wrong with the disc. Post your log (as per the pink box up the top ^ ), it'll help us understand what's happening.

I did convert them using SUPER from flv to AVI..and IMGBURN does burn avi files... The question I was asking was why didn't IMGBURN burn both the avi files that I dragged into its window... It recongnized both but only burned one. Thank you for your reply

I used SUPER to convert 2 flv files to AVI format so that I can burn them onto and 0 folders... It also reflected an input file size that agreed to the total of the two individual avi files. Imgburn ran to successful completion.. When I played the DVD back it only containted one video. Whne I opened the E Drive (CD/DVD) it showed 2 titles but MP only was able to play the video of one.. The other title, although showing the correct file size, did not open... I even tried using VLC and got the same result. So the question I am asking is this... if I drag multiple AVI files into imgburn and select write files/folders to disc, should they all appear on the burned DVD. Thank you again
LIGHTNING UK! Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 Yes, files burnt in Build mode are just files and the program treats them all equally. It would be more than useless if files you add in build mode didn't actually end up on the disc - of course that could be user error too though depending on settings. If they're both visible via explorer then the file system must contain descriptors for both files (which is what you'd expect) and therefore the file data for both files should also be on the disc somewhere. As for why only one is readable, I have no idea at this stage. You'd have to show me a log where the program burnt AND verified the disc ok. Then you'd have to open the one that doesn't play in a hex editor and see what, if anything, the file contains. You could also examine the disc using something like IsoBuster to check everything is valid.
