jacveld Posted June 13, 2011 Posted June 13, 2011 I would like to create an audiocd and am using the write mode for it (Windows 7) and Create CUE file. When i am selecting a file to add it to the CD Imgburn hangs and is NOT acting anymore. Any idea what this problem may be ??? Thanks in advance Jacques
LIGHTNING UK! Posted June 13, 2011 Posted June 13, 2011 It's the Windows API dialog box that's hanging. Maybe you have a shell extension installed that's misbehaving and causing the folder/file enumeration fuctions within the dialog box to get stuck?

Is it possible for you to give me some hints how to solve this problem by looking at the processes and/or services ?? Jacques
LIGHTNING UK! Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 This should allow you to view them. http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/shexview.html Does the box get stuck every time you try and open it? Even after rebooting etc? I think it would default to showing something like the desktop, so do you have any items on there that it could be getting hung up on?
jacveld Posted June 14, 2011 Author Posted June 14, 2011 Attached you will find 2 files with a screen dump of ImgBurn and Taskmanager. Opening a file in Create CUE File gives an overview of the present files. As soon as i am clicking on the file ImgBurn hangs and the processor usage goes to 100% !!! Maybe you have more info to solve my problem !? Jacques CreateCUEfile.pdf Taskmanager.pdf
LIGHTNING UK! Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 Ah ok, your issue perhaps isn't exactly what I thought it was. Are you able to browse through different folders - but if you click on an actual file, the box hangs? Does it matter what type of file you click on?
jacveld Posted June 14, 2011 Author Posted June 14, 2011 I am just clicking on a mp3 file. When i try move the file to the box, then i do see a small circle with a line in it, as something like "not possible". Jacques
LIGHTNING UK! Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 What do you mean 'When i try move the file to the box' ? Are you trying to drag and drop from the 'Open' box into the 'Create CUE File' window or something? You're just supposed to select a/some files from within the 'Open' box and then click the 'Open' button.

Are you trying to drag and drop from the 'Open' box into the 'Create CUE File' window or something? You're just supposed to select a/some files from within the 'Open' box and then click the 'Open' button. =========== Next, click on the top right 'Browse for a file...' button. The familiar 'Open File' dialog box will then appear. When you've located your files and selected them, just click the 'OK' button. Top Tip: You can also just use drag and drop from an Explorer type window. =========== As soon as i click on the 'Open' button in the 'Open' box ImgBurn hangs. As soon as i use drag and drop from Explorer to the 'Create CUE File' box ImgBurn hangs also after the drop. Jacques
jacveld Posted June 15, 2011 Author Posted June 15, 2011 BTW when i use e.g. the Build mode i have NO problem with opening files, it just seems to be a problem with CUE file in Write mode. Jacques
LIGHTNING UK! Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 Ok so let's go with drag+drop from an Explorer window into the 'Create CUE File' window.... it takes the 'Open' dialog window out of the equation. Try just one file at a time. Try with a wav file rather than an mp3 and see if you have the same problem. You could try other file formats too - wma, flac etc. If it still hangs when you're trying to drag+drop a single wav file, try and get me a screenshot of what the 'Create CUE File' window looks like at that moment in time. Maybe this tool could be of some use in this situation? http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/what_is_hang.html
jacveld Posted June 15, 2011 Author Posted June 15, 2011 See the attachment. Drag and drop from Explorer is working fine for tunnel.wav and opening the ImgBurn box as well !!! I was going to attach the mp3 file, helas too big. Maybe you have a better idea what is going wrong. Jacques CreateCUEfile 1.pdf
LIGHTNING UK! Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 If you have an mp3 that it gets hung up on via drag+drop AND via the open/browse box, please email it to me. You can get the address from the program's About box (in the 'Help') menu. That pdf attachment looks like it's from when you added a wav - and that worked ok yeah? I'd need a screenshot of when you attempted to add an mp3 (via drag+drop) that *didn't* work.
LIGHTNING UK! Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 The OP and I exchanged a few emails and I'm happy to report this issue has been resolved. It turns out that even GraphEdit hung when trying to load the MP3 files - basically narrowing it down to a DirectShow filter/codec issue. I told the OP to remove any and all codec packs installed on the machine. OP did so and reported back that it all works ok now So, the moral of the story is... don't install crappy codec packs!
