gyurman Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 (edited) Hello, I have a LUKS disk image format. How can I burn? For K3B and for Nero also it is "Invalid or unsupported image file format" but I can Ignore this error message. How can this with ImbBurn?

LIGHTNING UK! Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Where did you get it from? What's it for? Have you tried just loading it in Write mode? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff_nz Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 (edited) You'd burn it as you would any other data file, from the Ez-Mode Picker screen choose Write files/folders to disc (aka Build mode). As you probably know, since you have a LUKS file, it's an encrypted file system (similar to the type created by PGP Disk, TrueCrypt etc) and is mounted as a virtual disk after supplying the correct password, not to be confused with a disc image format like ISO, NRG etc. Edited September 9, 2010 by jeff_nz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gyurman Posted September 9, 2010 Author Share Posted September 9, 2010 This is a disk image, like ISO. Question is how can I burn usnupported image file burn to disk, not like file, like disk image. Or How can I switch off disk image check? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Renaming to .ISO will get round the image checks and just treat it as a basic Mode1/2048 image. You should probably test it first by mounting the renamed file in a virtual drive program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gyurman Posted September 11, 2010 Author Share Posted September 11, 2010 Ok, I probed rename the file. But also I get same message. Yes you can It is Mode1 image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LIGHTNING UK! Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 What's the exact size of the image file in bytes please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gyurman Posted October 9, 2010 Author Share Posted October 9, 2010 4 695 000 000 b every time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 Ah that won't work then. It would need to be a multiple of 2048... and that's not. 4695000000 'Mod' 2048 = 960 I just made an encrypted image using a tool I found called FreeOTFE. I assume that's the kind of thing you're talking about? Do these images of yours normally use the '.vol' file extension? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gyurman Posted October 9, 2010 Author Share Posted October 9, 2010 Yes, It seems good. I can load image. Yes I can mount with Freeotfe, but I make image in linux. By this way dd if=/dev/zero of=dvd.img bs=2048 count=2292480 losetup /dev/loop0 dvd.img sudo cryptsetup luksFormat /dev/loop0 sudo cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/loop0 dvd sudo mkntfs -Q -L "neve" -C -p 1 -H 0 -S 0 /dev/mapper/dvd sudo mount /dev/mapper/dvd -t ntfs-3g /media/dvd At now I cannot mount writed dvd with freeotfe, but maybe, for bits problem have. I will test. I dont use extension (.vol), bec I dont associate this type file for OS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 Well, the only way you'll get those images into Write mode is use the ISO file extension and pad the end of them with zeroes (0's) using a hex editor or something so that the file size is a multiple of 2048. When you've done both of those things, they should burn fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gyurman Posted October 9, 2010 Author Share Posted October 9, 2010 Yes I think, hex editing maybe need, and iso extension, bec if I write planely I got wrong disk. I will probe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 For some reason, the FreeOTFE program won't let me mount directly from an optical drive even though when you click the 'Mount Partition' button there's an option to show CD/DVD drives. I would have expected it to be there, especially if 'Show CD/DVD Drives' AND 'Entire disk' were enabled. Now I understand the image format a little better, why can't you just burn the encrypted image to the disc as a file in Build mode? Then, when you mount it, just load it how you would a file from the hdd - only using a different drive letter or whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
