Big Jim Posted June 7, 2012 Posted June 7, 2012 Hi, I'm trying to use Imgburn to write an OpenVMS files-11 disk image to CD, but I keep getting the error message: "invalid or unsupported image file" I've tried named the file image.iso, and image.img, but it makes no difference. Is there a way to just write the image raw in Imgburn, or do I have to use something like CDRWin? Here's the (completely irrelevant) log: :-) I 00:11:54 ImgBurn Version 2.5.7.0 started!

LIGHTNING UK! Posted June 8, 2012 Posted June 8, 2012 Are you trying to burn it with the intention of backing it up? The .ISO file extension will work for raw files but they need to be a multiple of 2048 bytes in size.
Big Jim Posted June 8, 2012 Author Posted June 8, 2012 Aha! Thanks for the quick reply. I'll pad it up to a multiple of 2048 and give it another shot. I had (what I thought) was a thorough look at the documentation and don't recall seeing that info - maybe it would be a good idea to change the the error message to something like: "invalid or unsupported image file - raw images must be a named .iso and be a multiple of 2048 bytes" Thanks again!
