Recusant Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Hi, New user here. I cannot see where in the settings i can 'point' ImgBurn to the flac.exe i already have on my PC. I searched and found posts telling people to install some kind of filter. Can't ImgBurn simply point to a pre-existing, already installed codec? If it can, where is the setting? Cuesheet question: If the cuesheet has gap information (from a gap removed rip), with ImgBurn re-insert the gap into the burn? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 ImgBurn doesn't use exe's to decode files, it uses DirectShow / ACM. The Audio CD guide tells you what to install for which file types at the very bottom. As for the cusheets, ImgBurn does whatever you tell it to. If gaps are specified in the CUE, they'll end up on the disc. If they aren't then they won't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Recusant Posted January 6, 2011 Author Share Posted January 6, 2011 Thanks for the quick reply. I saw the file type info in the Audio CD guide, but i was hoping to not have to install FLAC for maybe the third time, i wanted to point to a pre-existing, already installed version. I don't suppose there's any plan to adopt the point approach that many other programs use? I guess ImgBurn is more multimedia and not just audio, hence the ffdshow approach (?). Good to see it sounds like cuesheets are handled properly, some burning software does not re-insert the gap, it either ignores it or appends it to the previous track.

LIGHTNING UK! Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Nope, there are no plans to change anything. Having an exe on your system that can produce a flac file from a wav (and vice versa) is very different to having a DirectShow filter installed that can decode flac files. It's nothing to do with being more 'multimedia and not just audio', the only time ImgBurn uses DirectShow is when it's decoding audio files to create an Audio CD. There is a bonus that it can take the audio stream from a video file (AVI, MKV, WMV etc - anything DirectShow supports via filters/splitters) and burn that without needing to demux it first. Using DirectShow also means there are no temp files involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Recusant Posted January 6, 2011 Author Share Posted January 6, 2011 Wow, that is a pretty cool feature (audio straight from avi etc). Straight from DVD/Bluray would be cooler We're off topic now, thanks for your help/input. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Recusant Posted January 10, 2011 Author Share Posted January 10, 2011 (edited) I just thought i'd let you know that i installed the filter and it worked very nicely - gaps were restored as advertised (unlike CDBurnerXP - which doesn't mention it). The only thing i'd like to see (that seems unique to EAC) is write offset correction. Is it possible to set something in the advanced drive settings? Apart from that tiny wish, great program Cheers Lightning UK. Edited January 10, 2011 by Recusant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
