dvdburnout Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 Dear fellow backer-uppers On my old computer, Imgburn produced a nice single .iso file in build mode from a VIDEO_TS directory. I could burn it into a good movie DVD. Now I have set up a new computer in the office (because ripping, encoding and burning take so long-do it while I work on another computer). I am running the usual suspects-Ripit4me, DVD Rebuilder on Cinemacraft and now Imgburn to build the iso image of the DVD-RB output VIDEO_TS directory and to burn. Well on my first backup today of Miami Vice I got a nice looking movie-only VIDEO_TS directory-the usual 9 files, everything looked good. Imgburn however, instead of producing a nice single .iso file, produced three files (I don't have it all in front of me-it's at the office): Some little .mds file or something a I00 file or some such with about 4.1GB a I01 file or some such with about 340 MB Now correct me if I am wrong but I am pretty sure I cannot burn this into a playable movie. What gives here? Why am I not getting the normal single iso file my old computer gave me with Imgburn? Please bear with me, I can get the exact file extensions tomorrow.
LIGHTNING UK! Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 Clearly this isn't a bug (you normally have to know what you're doing before you can call something a bug), it's because you've: 1. Messed with the file splitting settings. 2. Formatted your drives using FAT32 which is limited to storing files with a max size of 4GB - hence ImgBurn has to create multiple files. If it's the later, convert the disk to NTFS.
dvdburnout Posted February 6, 2007 Author Posted February 6, 2007 Sorry mate, you're right. When I set up this OEM computer, the OS was set for NTFS but D was FAT32, didn't even notice it. Have converted it like you said, now get the single iso file again. Just an idea, perhaps in a future release you could have a pop up warning "destination file system is FAT-file will be split" kinda like an idiot light.
LIGHTNING UK! Posted February 6, 2007 Posted February 6, 2007 Well it does say that in the log right at the top and it also mentions the filesystem type when you perform the build. So baically, it's there if you look for it.
