davexnet Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Hi all - I had a 7.5 GB Video_ts folder to burn to a DL disk. My first attempt was to burn the folder in "write" mode, and after the layer change point was determined, the writing commenced. It was not, however, entirely successful. There seemed to be an error at the layer change; the writing continued to completion, but the disk didn't verify properly (mismatch). I burned it a second way, in "build" to create the iso, then burn the mds/iso file. This time it burned without error and verified properly. Did I get unlucky in the first burn, or is the method error-prone compared to the 2nd (build/write) attempt ? TIA for any info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rincewind Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 (edited) Write mode is usually used when you have an image already prepared. Build mode is when you just have the files itself (in this case VIDEO_TS directory with IFO,BUP,VOB) on your drive not as an iso form. This guide also shows how to burn a DL movie, and it is in build mode not write mode. Edited February 27, 2011 by Rincewind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davexnet Posted February 27, 2011 Author Share Posted February 27, 2011 Yes I see the article recommends the build method - but is that recommendation specific for DL only ? I routinely write smaller video_ts DVD folders (< 4.3GB) to single later disks in write mode without incident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rincewind Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 (edited) To my knowledge even on single layer it is best to use build mode. As I stated Write Mode is essentially used for 'image' files only. Cue+BIN, Cue+FLAC , or ISO, or .DVD/.MDS + ISO, etc. -edit Even the guide for burning single layer uses build mode not write mode. this is write mode: Edited February 27, 2011 by Rincewind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davexnet Posted February 28, 2011 Author Share Posted February 28, 2011 Thanks for the information. I see I wasn't doing what I thought I was doing at all. From the EZ mode picker I was choosing "write files/folders to disk" . Under the covers this is Build mode? Anyway from there I choose input/advanced, click on the disk layout editor, drag in my video_ts folder, close the layout editor, confirm that options/file system has ISO9660/UDF and I'm ready to burn. This is apparently Build mode, but isn't it writing the video_ts folder directly to the DVD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianymaty Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 You not even need to go in advanced mode. Just drag the VIDEO_TS from Windows Explorer or your favorite file browser to the ImgBurn window in Write files/folders to disc mode (Build mode) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
