Basilius12 Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 I'm having trouble creating a data cd from .Flac files using Imgburn, and I need some help. I ripped a music cd (The Essential Heart - 2002) to my hard drive using Exact Audio Copy (EAC), and then I tried to use build mode to make an image file (Iso file) of the .Flac files. I added the .Flac files to the source box, chose a file name and destination, and chose ISO file (.iso) as the 'save as type'. Also, for the image options, I chose data type (mode 1/2048), file system (ISO9660 + UDF), and I checked-in 'preserve full path names'. When I click 'Build' to build the image file, it does create an Iso file, but it also creates an MDS file too (2 files total). Also, the Iso file that it creates is unreadable and unusable (I can't open it with any media player programs, and if I burn the image to a cd, the cd can't be read). It's been a while since a used Imgburn to create a data cd from .Flac files, but I don't remember this problem happening. I'm not sure if the problem is with the ripping program (EAC), the .Flac files, or if I'm not using Imgburn properly. If I need to post more details about what I'm doing, please let me know.

Basilius12 Posted July 7, 2010 Author Share Posted July 7, 2010 I would like to create a data cd of the .Flac files, not an audio cd. When I add the Flac files in build mode and create an Iso file, the Iso that's created is unreadable (either by itself, or after I burn it to a cd). If it would help for me to upload one of the Flac files I'm using, I can do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 I don't understand why you'd be opening the ISO in a media player? That sometimes works for DVD Video discs but there's no sense in doing it for an audio data disc. No standalone player would play a data disc with flac audio files on it - unless it specifically mentions 'flac' on the front of it or something. You're better off using ISO9660 + Joliet for those types of discs rather than ISO9660 + UDF. When you've made your ISO file, try loading it back in Write mode. Does that work? If it does, mount it in Virtual CloneDrive / DAEMON Tools etc and play from the virtual drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
