Burning .gi images to CD


TarheelNorm2012

Recommended Posts

The ImgBurn website indicates it will handle .gi images as well as .iso images. When I follow the directons for burning an audio CD, ImgBurm says my .gi image (Originally created from Roxio Easy Media Creator) is invalid or unsupported image file format. Is there something I can do to make this work?

This is the first time using ImgBurn. You mention some sort of "program file, I'm copying the one from ImgBurn I see when trying to burn the CD.

 

I'm running Win XP Home SP3. Thanks for the help.

GI images are only supported in their most basic form (single session/track data image). The 'GI' forum is closed source and I don't have the specs for it.

 

Can you mount the GI file in Roxio's virtual drive?

 

If so, do that, read the disc to a new image using ImgBurn (which will save in BIN/CUE format) and then write that image instead.

 

You're running an old version of ImgBurn btw.

Thanks for the reply. I cannot mount the image to Roxio's virtual drive. I have updated ImgBurn to latest version, no difference in the results.

So, if the .gi image is comprised of 10-12 tracks from a CD, this is more than the "single session/track" you are referring to, and it will not work for these images I have? Is the .gi format proprietary to Roxio?

Thanks.
