joshdts Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 Great product by the way. I have looked through a lot of topics in the forum but havent found any that I think might pertain to my situation. I am trying to burn multiple ISO files from different dvds to 1 new dvd. Space isnt an issue, most of the files are about 5-10 mins long. I have successfully burned 1 ISO file, but I cant figure out how to do more than 1. I have created queues but it will only burn the first file, then when it moves to the next file in the queue, it overwrites the first file and so on and so on. I am using IMGBURN 1.3 if that helps...it would be much appreciated if someone could point me in the right direction. Thanks
Movie Junkie Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 Welcome to the forum josh. Before you do anything else get the latest version of ImgBurn. Go here to download it. Are these individual data files? If so, you could copy all of them to your hard drive and then use the Build Mode in ImgBurn to make one ISO from them. Then have ImgBurn write the ISO to your new disc.
LIGHTNING UK! Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 An ISO is a disc image, you can't burn several of them onto 1 disc. It's 1 disc per ISO. What you could do however is extract the contents of all the ISO's into a folder/some folders and then burn that/those.
joshdts Posted February 11, 2007 Author Posted February 11, 2007 Actually, I do have all the ISO files in one massive folder. So obviously I would have to break it down to multiple folders. Then how would I burn the entire folder? I havent come across anything that would allow me to do that. I am sure its there though. I dont have a lot of skills, so its a big learning curve for me. Movie junkie, thanks for the tip on the new software, 2.1 is the most current I assume? Thanks
LIGHTNING UK! Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 Ok, go and get the latest version of winrar from www.rarsoft.com It's v3.70 beta 3 Once installed, if you select all the ISO's and right click, you should have an 'extract each archive to seperate folder' option on the context menu. Click that and each one will be extracted into a folder of the same name as the iso. move the iso files out of the folder and burn that folder containing all the other folders. get it?!
Movie Junkie Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 What LUK is telling you is that you need to extract the files from the ISO's and put the files in a folder or some folders (your choice). He's not saying to put the ISO's in separate folders. Then burn the files to your DVD. One way of extracting them would be to mount each ISO in a virtual drive. Then copy the files from each drive to your DVD. If you're not sure how to do this let us know.
LIGHTNING UK! Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 yes, mounting + copying is an option, but if this person has loads, that'll take all day! With winrar, it's just 2 clicks and it's all done!
dirio49 Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 (edited) If you like to burn that as ISo in a disk and not the files that are in the iso. You can just use build mode and drag the iso into the window. So you would have one disk that would contain may ISO inside. Just drag them into build mode as if they were files.

With winrar, it's just 2 clicks and it's all done! That makes sense LUK. I haven't used WinRAR in quite some time and I didn't know you could extract files from an ISO with it.
joshdts Posted February 13, 2007 Author Posted February 13, 2007 Hey guys, I really appreciate the responses and help. So I downloaded the winrar. When I tried to burn the new folder I created, IMG burn stated it was "invalid or unsupported image file format" When I right click on the title in my already existing folder, the options that come up are: add to archive----this is the one I selected add to movie.rar Compress and email compress to movie.rar and email extract files extract here extract to movie\ So I think I am getting closer, I think I may have just missed a step as I was able to add several titles to one new folder but that was invalid Any ideas? thanks!
LIGHTNING UK! Posted February 13, 2007 Posted February 13, 2007 Ok, now I'm just confused! You said you had losts of small ISO files. I said you need to extract the data from all those ISO files into folders. So you'd install WinRAR (ensure the 'ISO' box is ticked for file associations when you install it), then select your 'Image1.iso', 'Image2.iso', 'Image3.iso' etc in explorer and right click them. You'll see an option called ''extract each archive to seperate folder'. When WinRar has done its thing, you'll have some new folders - 'Image1', 'Image2', 'Image3' etc - all of which will contain whatever was in the ISO file. Then you just drag + drop those folders into 'Build' mode within ImgBurn.
lfcrule1972 Posted February 13, 2007 Posted February 13, 2007 I think he may be trying to use winrar to compile the .iso (archive in this case) from the post above....
LIGHTNING UK! Posted February 13, 2007 Posted February 13, 2007 Yeah I know... but I don't understand how he got that idea from my previous post?!
crazyfastdodge Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 I have a similar question that maybe you guys can help me on. I have built 3 small .iso files that are off 3 seperate dvd's. I want to have one DVD+R DL movie with a menu to choose between the 3. Would I use the process you discribed above or what shall I do? How would the process above play in a DVD player? Thank you!!!
joshdts Posted February 14, 2007 Author Posted February 14, 2007 (edited) lightning-I think I finally got it! Like lfcrule said, I think I kept trying to put the files into one folder, instead of creating a seperate folder for each ISO file. Sorry if I wasnt getting but I just started this whole burning dvd thing a few days ago, a little bit behind on things. Maybe I should use the computer for more than just fantasy baseball. Alas, its not that simple, one more problem(I hope!) So I was able to get the multiple ISO folders to burn. However, I think it might not be burning as a DVD. When I put the dvd in the dvd-rom, a window pops up, "files currently on cd". Then when I put it in my dvd player, the dvd player could not read. I have burned single ISO files by themselves and played them on my DVD player, so its not the dvd player. Anyway, here is the log, I must have missed something....thanks again.

joshdts Posted February 14, 2007 Author Posted February 14, 2007 uggh, Im such a tard. OK, so I got it to work using a vos file or whatever that thing is. After reading the guides and trial and error. So the problem of the dvd player not reading the dvd is eliminated. So the only problem is that it will only burn the first title that I have in the build mode. I put both titles in the build section the same way, then click write and it burns the first one. Here is the log: In the image information it says I have 10 files and 3 folders if that matters at all. Thanks!

I have 3 language courses on my PC for a total of 10 iso files which I want to burn to one DVD. I did drag all of them into in the build mode screen, as you suggested, but the language program installed on my PC picks up and installs only ONE of the 10 files, which means that only ISO was duly burned . The Language program on my PC doesn't see the other languages and and levels , each one corresponding to the ISO files ( 10) dragged into the build screen. What am I missing? Thanks Ittiandro
dbminter Posted November 2, 2018 Posted November 2, 2018 Check the disc you burned in Windows/File Explorer. If all 10 ISO files are on that disc, then, ImgBurn burned the contents correctly. Whatever reason why your Language program won't find the other ISO files would be down to the Language program or Windows. Whatever you mean by Language program, though, I don't know.

I see the problem. The 10 iso files were for about 3 GB, but there are only 400 MB burned on the disc. So something went awry . May be I did something wrong. Thanks for your help Ittiandro
dbminter Posted November 2, 2018 Posted November 2, 2018 No problem. When you create the new ISO in Build mode with all 10 ISO's on it, when you go into Write mode to burn this new ISO, check the size of the image being burnt. It should be displayed in the upper left hand corner under Size. If it says it's anything other than 3 GB, which you said should be the approximate target size, then something went wrong again. You can check this size to make sure the ISO is being built correctly.

Yes, the size of the ISO files being burned in the build mode is exactly the same as the one of the files I dragged into the IMG build screen from the PC. I even saw all the ISO files and the different languages being( apparently) burned. HOWEVER this time something new came up and I am back to square 1: the files " burned" on the DVD are still ISO files and they are exactly the same as the ones on the source folder to be burned from. It looks like IMG Burn copied the ISO files to disc instead of burning them. Any clues? I notice that the 1st partial burn I had written to you about had a different layout on the disc, but at least it worked, however incomplete: on the DVD there were no longer ISO files but four folders: Data, LANGUAGE and another 2 folders. The Language Application on my PC was able to see them and install the course correctly. This time, unlike before, the application language program can't install them because there are still 10 seemingly unburned ISO files on the DVD. Why ? Thanks Ittiandro Edited November 3, 2018 by Ittiandro
dbminter Posted November 3, 2018 Posted November 3, 2018 Before you do anything else, restart the PC. In case something got messed up somewhere. Windows could be returning incorrect contents from the disc. Check the disc again and see if it still only has 4 folders and no ISO files. If it's still bad, recreate the ISO but make sure of certain things. Are you sure you're burning the right ISO and not an old file that didn't burn correctly before? Before you had a CD sized ISO. Then you made a 3 GB ISO. Especially if you have split image file sizes, the file names may not necessarily be the same anymore. Before you burn the ISO in ImgBurn, make sure it's 3 GB on the source disc with Windows/File Explorer. Then make sure you're burning the right ISO. Make sure the Size in Write mode when you load the ISO says it's 3 GB. If you're still getting incorrect contents on the burned disc, explore the ISO file with Windows/File Explorer. Make sure it actually has the 3 GB of ISO contents it's supposed to have. IF you have a correct ISO and are STILL getting incorrect burns, you've got more of a serious problem going on. A drive would have a really hard time writing phantom data to a disc that is actually readable and not just an unreadable mess of a disc.

The DVD still shows the ten ISO files. Besides, I checked the Properties for each file and they are ALL ISO. 2. I have no reasons to believe that the ISO files I was trying to burn in Build mode were old or perhaps incorrect ISO's because the 1st ISO file done by IMG Burn was burned correctly and the other ISO's were part of the same batch. 3. The 3 GB ISO I made in Build mode was comprised of the ten ISO files, but I did not see one cumulative ISO file for 3 GB. This size ( 3GB ) shows only on the Build screen. 4. You tell me to make sure that when I load the ISO in Write mode the size is 3 GB. Well, in the operation I only selected the Build mode and I pressed the Build button . I never selected Write mode after. Should I have? May be this is the problem. 5. In the last paragraph of your reply you tell me to explore the ISO file on the ( supposedly burned disc. You speak of ISO file at the singular. Well ,there isn't ONE comprehensive 3 GB ISO file on the disc. There are ten of them, for a total of approx 3 GB. 6.Since the ten ISO files are for three languages and each language has 3 or 4 levels, there may be several . 1 or 2 or 3 levels corresponding to different languages.Is it possible that the computer gets confused when it sees more than one file with the same level? Thanks again Ittiandro
