airpix Posted October 1, 2007 Posted October 1, 2007 Why does ImgBurn think I am using 9gb dvd when I use a 4.5gb dvd? Is there a way to change this setting? Thanks, Airpix
LIGHTNING UK! Posted October 1, 2007 Posted October 1, 2007 What makes you think that? On the off chance that you're trying to burn a 9GB image, I have to just remind you that ImgBurn doesn't compress anything. It's simply a burning tool whereby what goes in = what comes out.

No, If I drag say 3 folders over and they are a total of 5gb ImgBurn says I have 9GB of free space left. It kinda screws me up if I'm not paying attention, I go ahead and try to burn and ImgBurn then says I don't have enough disk space.

volvofl10 Posted October 1, 2007 Posted October 1, 2007 did you have a dual layer disc (9gb)in the drive when you chose the 3 folders ? explain the scenario when this occurs ?, is it in build mode? , have you got Ib set to default settings ?, are you building to file or disc ? more info would help , your question was a bit vague
blutach Posted October 2, 2007 Posted October 2, 2007 Reason here is the autocalculate, I think. It computes the smallest disk necessary to cnotain your data. If 5Gb, it moves up to a DVD-9 and says you have 4 Gb left. If 4Gb, it will say you have 0.37Gb left (ie a DVD-5). Regards
