Snaptrap Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 I'm quite new to this program and I have a few questions. 1) Does IMG Burn make ISO images of CD's and DVD's (games, movies, etc.)? 2) How do I prevent it from renaming the file when creating an ISO (ex. Chicken = CHIC~)? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 It can build images from whatever files you have on your hdd. It doesn't matter what the actual contents are. It will never use ~, it does use _ though when making ISO9660 compliant names from long name (it has to take them back to 8.3 format). The OS only shows the file names of the 'best' file system it supports. So if you enable Joliet and / or UDF, assuming your OS supports those file systems, you'll see the proper (long) file names.

Thank you! I'm currently using Windows XP Pro with SP2. I do have experience with creating ISO's but with using more simplistic programs like ISO Recorder. Great program!

Snaptrap Posted October 16, 2006 Author Share Posted October 16, 2006 (edited) More problems. The program doesn't want to include any subfolder files when creating an ISO. It only writes what's in the main directory. Edited October 16, 2006 by Snaptrap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 Do you have 'recurse subdirectories' ticked?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave S Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Do you have 'recurse subdirectories' ticked?! What exactly does "recurse subdirectories" do? Also, I will be using ImgBurn primarily for data backup. Should I use ISO, Joiliet and UDF for naming conventions ton ensure compatibility over a wider range of .... whatever? Thanks.

blutach Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 IIRC, Recurse subs includes subdirectories in the burn where you choose a parent folder. ISO and UDF should do the trick on all Windows machines. Certainly, XP can natively read UDF. Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
