ilitws Posted May 14, 2010 Posted May 14, 2010 Background WinXp Professional SP2 32bit; 2 tasks - one followed by the other. First build iso file to hard disk from vob container 'VIDEO_TS' folder (which is on my hard disk). Second write that iso file to DVD which says Sony DVD-R 120min/4.7 GB AccuCORE 16x/1x. Understood your excellent forum guides. Before I even do both these things I wish to configure settings correctly. There are 3 settings:- Build settings - fully understood Write settings - fully understood Settings under Tools Menu - my queries only pertain to this Queries Is it okay if I set it this way? 1) Tools-Build-Page1 Image Layout File Format - I have tickmarked CUE, DVD & MDS Log File/Folder Non Compliant Names - I have tickmarked ISO9660, JOLIET & UDF. (For naming label & volume I would use ISO9660+UDF) 2)Tools-Write-Page1 Options-Write Mode-Auto - Chose it since it automatically determines the best speed based upon DVD brandname, DVD quality & the drive burn speed as configured by my operating system Process Priority - was set at high & I let it remain that way 3)Mode-Build-Options-Image Options Data Type - Mode1/2048 - did not understand this. Left it unchanged.What does this mean?? File System - ISO9660+UDF UDF Revision - 1.02 - did not understand this. Left it unchanged.What does this mean?? 3)Tools-Write-Page2 Write Errors, Software Retries, Finalize Disc-Auto Retry 20 - let this setting remain unchanged Finalize Disc, Ignore Errors - did not tickmark this Enable Burn Proof - did not tickmark this because if I had tickmarked it would not allow me to add any more files 4)Tools-Registry File Associations - Tickmarked CDR, IBQ, MDS, BIN, CUE,IMG, CCD, ISO, DVD, IBB Set ImgBurn As Default Application - Left it unticked. This way it may appear on my context menu as an option I guess 5)Tickmarked the tickbox called Auto below the calculator so that it will automatically calculate & tell me if the iso image would fit into my DVD disc even if I forget Have I planned all the input parameters correctly? Please provide me guidance?
mmalves Posted May 14, 2010 Posted May 14, 2010 Don't mess with the program's settings if you don't know what they do: click the Defaults button, answer Yes then click OK to reset all of them. As for your task, you can burn directly to disc.
ilitws Posted May 14, 2010 Author Posted May 14, 2010 @mmalves - Thanks. I left settings untouched wherever I did not understand. Thanks for the attached guide. @The Author - I have nothing against SP3. I have it only because my system builder friends recommended it. That's the only reason:)

eSkRo Posted May 14, 2010 Posted May 14, 2010 i agree here,,, Leave IMgBurn settings to default and install SP3
ilitws Posted May 15, 2010 Author Posted May 15, 2010 Thanks to this great software & sound advice from all of you I successfully wrote my DVD-R on my very first attempt & it looks nice. The functionalities, gui, the way the log captures everything & indeed everything else not only makes things simple but also simplifies the process & tells you how long it took. ImgBurn is really great because generally in other software these processes are quite complex & time consuming.
