yankeet Posted May 30, 2007 Posted May 30, 2007 Hi, I cannot burn GI images that I made using Primo DVD, anyone know why? I get an incompatibility error. Thanks Yankee
LIGHTNING UK! Posted May 30, 2007 Posted May 30, 2007 I've only tested it with basic DVD ones made by Prassi Ones. So if they're different to that or not DVD images, I've honestly no idea.
yankeet Posted May 30, 2007 Author Posted May 30, 2007 If you'd like to test it I can upload a small GI file that was made in primo dvd, but if you're not interested it's ok....

LIGHTNING UK! Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 Nah it's ok, I used to use PrimoDVD too years ago. I'm sure I still have it floating around somewhere. If I don't, I'll get back to you.
LIGHTNING UK! Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 Ok, I've had a quick look. Are you getting an error about opening a file? One where the filename just shows random characters? If so, I believe I've fixed that problem. I think I've located the actual byte in the 'header' that tells me how many 'file descriptors' are in the GI file. Previously it was a bodge of just dividing the size of the gi file (minus the header size) by the known size of the file descriptor. So for the one I just looked at, that came out to 5 but there were really only 3, hence the last 2 filenames came out as complete rubbish. That 'bodge' did seem to work with Prassi Ones files though so I guess they've stopped putting stuff after the file descriptors now. btw, the only .gi files supported are the ones where there's a tiny .gi file and then a bigger one (or more). i.e. image.gi (about 5k in size) image (11).gi (up to 2GB in size) image (12).gi (up to 2GB in size) etc.
yankeet Posted May 31, 2007 Author Posted May 31, 2007 Ok thanks, Here's what I got, I uploaded 4 screen shots. Image 1 is like you said (small GI with larger files) and it works. Image 2a GI does not work and creates the error message as shown in Image 2b. Image 3 is a single GI file (when you create a GI of a dvd that is small it will only create one file) and it generates that error message.... so it would only work with a GI that is made from a full DVD that has one small file and the rest gi's that are large. Thanks Yankee
LIGHTNING UK! Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 Please feel free to email me any small (i.e. the 5k ones) .GI files. I'll examine them and tweak the .GI parsing code. The address can be found in the program's 'About' box.
