Problems creating image file from disc

[japm1951]

I recently bought a new dvd recorder(Magnavox) and every time I try to create an image iso file from dvd-r's containing shows I recorded on this recorder I get this message saying the file I am trying to create will be far too big to put on a dvd-r.It is somehow reading a regular recorded 4.7 GB as this HUGE file(like 45 GB!). I am using the recommended way(build..then pick my D drive ..then name is file and the Terrabyte external drive I am trying to send it to)but it keeps saying the image file I am trying to create would be far too big and will not fit on a standard dvd-r?What is wrong here?I would apreciate an answer here or thru my email..thanks

Examine the disc in Explorer, it (the OS in general) must think one (or more) of the files are massive - as that's where the information ImgBurn uses in Build mode comes from.

 

Oh and this is a support issue and therefore belongs in the 'ImgBurn Support' forum and not in 'Chat' - consider it moved.

I am not quite sure what is meant by "examine the disc in Explorer"but then I am not that computer savvy. I will check with my computer guy to see what is meant by that.Thanks

Put the disc in the drive and look at it in Explorer / My Computer / whatever you know it by.

 

Explorer is just the file manager built into Windows.

 

You can switch the 'View' to 'Details' and then check the sizes of each file on the disc.
