eastbayarb Posted June 28, 2007 Posted June 28, 2007 (edited) I have a mf baxter dvd duplicator (for the record, these are not Mac .img files) and when I set it to duplicate one or multiple DVD discs to my PC, it saves them with a .img extension. I tried burning this with imgburn (imgburn opens and burns them, but the resulting disc is unreadable), alcohol, nero, cloneCD, but the only program that can open/burn these .img files is magiciso. But I would like to be able to burn .img files with Imgburn. Any ideas? Edited June 28, 2007 by eastbayarb
LIGHTNING UK! Posted July 4, 2007 Posted July 4, 2007 They must be weird img files. Send me the first 5MB of one of them and i'll see what I can do.

LIGHTNING UK! Posted July 4, 2007 Posted July 4, 2007 Well, you could use a hex editor - something like hexworkshop. Or if you can use the command prompt (cmd.exe), use this: http://download.imgburn.com/grab5m.zip Usage : GRAB5M i.e. Extract to a folder called 'grab5m' in the root of c: Open a command prompt window. Change the grab5m folder by typing: CD \grab5m Then type: grab5m "c:\my_odd_img_file.img" "c:\5mb_of_image.img" Zip/RAR up the '5mb_of_image.img' file and email it to me.

LIGHTNING UK! Posted July 4, 2007 Posted July 4, 2007 email it to me. Look in the program's 'About' box for the address. Ta.
LIGHTNING UK! Posted July 5, 2007 Posted July 5, 2007 The file is in their own proprietary format with loads of rubbish stuck on the front of it.
LIGHTNING UK! Posted July 5, 2007 Posted July 5, 2007 Ok, I've added another 'fallback' search to determine the image file format if the other attempts fail. It now loads the image ok, but will only work properly if the image is a 'basic' one (i.e. single session, single track). If it's not, it'll be burnt as one anyway.
