32k Padding in Read Mode?

[bbanderic]

I've read much about the 32k padding thing, mainly from the article below:

I know that ImgBurn has the 32k padding option in "Build" mode. I'm curious if ImgBurn adds the IFO/BUP 32k padding in "Read" mode as well since essentially ImgBurn is creating the ISO file. I checked the read mode settings and there's no mention of the 32k padding option there. My guess is no, since the idea of "read mode" is to create an exact copy of the original "non-copy protected" DVD but I just want to verify since I have no way of checking if the 32k padding is present on the original DVD I'm copying.

 

Thanks!

It doesn't apply to Read mode.

 

By definition, it produces an exact copy of the original disc.

 

So if the gaps were there in the first place, they'll still be there in the ISO. If they weren't there, they won't be.

And don't trust the idiot that wrote that guide either bbanderic
