linx05 Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 (edited) Hi guys. I would like to start freeing up my space. So I am trying to find a program which creates an image from say a directory or a selection of files. People have suggested Nero but I simply can't find the option in there (besides when copying from a cd). I have been searching for this for the last 2 hours. Can anyone lend me a hand please? I really want to use the burning engine in ImgBurn! Thank you. EDIT: Dang can't edit the title Edited October 18, 2005 by linx05 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 In nero, you just create a new data disc. Use ISO and Joliet filesystems (or ISO and UDF). I still use cdrwin from www.goldenhawk.com for that stuff! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linx05 Posted October 18, 2005 Author Share Posted October 18, 2005 Sorry, I can't seem to find that. I load it up into DVD-Rom (ISO). Add all my files. But it only gives me the option to burn it. I want to use ImgBurn to burn it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornholio7 Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 have you tried imgtool classic? http://www.coujo.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linx05 Posted October 18, 2005 Author Share Posted October 18, 2005 That only creates an image for DVD files. I want a program which creates an image out of any file. It's all in my post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornholio7 Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 (edited) i usually use nero to build my iso's for data and choose image recorder as the destination i just found this http://www.ezbsystems.com/ultraiso/ although i havent tried it myself yet Edited October 18, 2005 by cornholio7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamus_McFartfinger Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 Hi guys. I would like to start freeing up my space. So I am trying to find a program which creates an image from say a directory or a selection of files. I use UltraISO for creating image files. It's not free but I think it's the best at what it does, even allowing you to open/edit/view/add to ISO/BIN/etc images. Great program. http://www.ezbsystems.com/ultraiso/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linx05 Posted October 18, 2005 Author Share Posted October 18, 2005 (edited) Yeah I am trying it out now. It looks really good! Thanks for that cornholio7 Got a little off topic question though. In ImgBurn it says: OPTORITE DVD RW DD1203 110E (ATA) Current Profile: DVD+R Disc Information: Status: Empty Erasable: No Free Sectors: 2,295,104 Free Space: 4,700,372,992 bytes Free Time: 510:03:29 (MM:SS:FF) Supported Write Speeds: 2.4x, 4x ...etc But on the DVD case it says 1-16x. Can I choose MAX in ImgBurn? Or do I only go at 2.4x or 4 x, or do I follow what it says on the DVD case (1-16x)? It is all ready to burn, I just need that question answered. And once again, thanks!

cornholio7 Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 (edited) a firmware update may help you can get that here http://forum.rpc1.org/dl_firmware.php?download_id=1860 although your discs say 16x on the packet/box , the drive is only seeing them as 4x max , the firmware may have a better write strategy for these discs Edited October 18, 2005 by cornholio7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linx05 Posted October 18, 2005 Author Share Posted October 18, 2005 I have all firmware updates from the official site. I saw the link you posted already. Little cautious about loading up a beta. That is why I haven't done it yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornholio7 Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 (edited) its not a beta , its linking to optorite themselves http://www.optorite.com/_english/web/2_ser...2_firmwares.php, description of update , improve media compatibility Edited October 18, 2005 by cornholio7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linx05 Posted October 18, 2005 Author Share Posted October 18, 2005 (edited) Not a beta? It's a beta by The Dangerous Brothers. Region Free. Where is the link on http://forum.rpc1.org/dl_firmware.php?download_id=1860 which links to the OptoRite page? And besides, I've already done that patch. Did it last year when it was brought up in the old forum. So I should follow what ImgBurn says? Edited October 18, 2005 by linx05 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornholio7 Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 (edited) err... if you click where it says 'here' on that side in blue , what happens? if you click on 120e what is the address on the file transfer window? try burning them at the supported 4x speed Edited October 18, 2005 by cornholio7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linx05 Posted October 18, 2005 Author Share Posted October 18, 2005 (edited) I'll burn it now. Thanks. So 120e is the next version number? I thought it was something to do with the brand, not the firmware version. Edited October 18, 2005 by linx05 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lfcrule1972 Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 It really messed polo around - I am sure he will fill you in but I remember him getting it exchanged and it being no better....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polopony Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 the first optorite I couldn't set the region ,you would set it and then next burn you had to set it again with only 5 X tries for setting region I'd get 5 burns and that would be all .I dealt with Optorite Tech Support who were good about replying they gave me a different firmware for the drive but no good .Next one would set but had power buss problems rma'd that ,third one would only burn at slow speed on Ritek it was an 8x burner a friend who had the same drive burned at 8x on Ritek mine wouldn't .I decided to cut my losses and give up on optorite .I dont see them make any lists for being quality drives and with the price of DVD burners around the $50 mark its no use beating a dead horse I bought an NEC 3500 and its been great ,easy to flash, pretty good on firmware updates, nice burns ,works for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
