dontasciime Posted October 2, 2007 Posted October 2, 2007 Maybe look in the guides section http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showforum=4
anant11 Posted October 2, 2007 Author Posted October 2, 2007 Maybe look in the guides section http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showforum=4 Thanks for the above link. . In fact I used the steps suggested on one of the posts in the forum Now I got some understanding. I used to burn dvd data disks using Roxio Easy CD media Creator 5.0. It was accidentally deleted recently. When I create a DVD data disk with that sw, I could retrieve the data when I boot that disk. I am not able to do this with IMGBURN software. Surely I am missing some basics. I am totally in a learning process. Here is what I have done. I started with about 6.0 GB of a MP3 folder as source file. I chose a destination file onto my hard drive . Here are the steps: Mode - Build - browse and selected source file from hard drive Output - Imagefile - browse and selected a file on hard disk- checked to verify Options - ISO9660 + UDF - Recursive subdirectories Lablels - entered same label under ISO9660 and UDF Advanced - Date - entered todays date Media - under single layer DVD+R/RW - under double layer DVD+R DL Restrictions - ISO9960 - Level one - Charac. set standard Finally clicked BUILD waited for the build to complete. I got advisory msg not to use ISO file the sw changed it to MDS In the output directory folder I see 3 files look like the following test dvd 4,194,300 kb I00 file date test dvd-1 1,868,300 kb I01 file date test dvd 9 kb MDS file date I clicked test dvd - I got the following msg Windows cannot open the file I selected Imgburn as a program to open the file I see a Imgburn screen . How could I see my original MP3 files. If it were actual dvd disc burn, I would expect to see my original directory of MP3 files when I place the DVD data disk in DVD drive I do not see what I have done wrong. Could someone comment on this ? Do u suggest I should try actual DVD burn instead of Imagefile ? Thanks in anticipation of ur reply. anant
dontasciime Posted October 2, 2007 Posted October 2, 2007 right click on mds file and choose burn with imgburn
anant11 Posted October 2, 2007 Author Posted October 2, 2007 right click on mds file and choose burn with imgburn Thanks for ur prompt response. I checked . It works. I will try this next time. I actually burnt a dvd R+ disc directly ( w/o creating an Image file) with a 4GB file source. It just worked. That is fantatic. I am excited. Right now I am playing the DVD in Real Player. With just a couple of hours of study I got this done free of cost. I thank all of you in the forum who helped me. I thank the developers of IMGBURN to have made available this wonderful product free. My next attempt will be to try a larger file say 7 GB and burn a double layer DVD. I do not know if that works in my DEll comp DVD player. anant
chewy Posted October 3, 2007 Posted October 3, 2007 data disks are better kept around 4 gigs in size, single layer media is much easier to burn and much more relaible with a lot more burners there are enough cases where you have to have dual layer, but not for data, especialy mp3's

anant11 Posted October 4, 2007 Author Posted October 4, 2007 Thanks once again for ur direction. That's what the forum is all about... I have a question which could be dumb. I have a dell comp with a standard DVD drive which could play sinle layer DVD R+ 's. I understand that IMGBURN sw can burn double layer DVDs. Can I burn double layer DVDs using the standard DVD drive I have or do I need to use a special external drive to burn double layer DVDs ? I would appreciate if someone could enlighten me on the subject. Thanks for reply in anticipation. anant
anant11 Posted October 4, 2007 Author Posted October 4, 2007 Depends on what model dvd writer you have Hi. I have the following drive. Name : _NEC DVD +RW ND-1100A Type DVD/CD-ROM
anant11 Posted October 4, 2007 Author Posted October 4, 2007 time to update to a newer drive You seem to imply that the drive I have is no good for d.layer burn. This weekend I will try to use a different DVD drive for a double layer burn. Thanks for ur help. anant
dontasciime Posted October 4, 2007 Posted October 4, 2007 The drive you have is very old and afaik is not compatible with dual layer, well last time I looked at specs for that drive it was not.
spinningwheel Posted October 5, 2007 Posted October 5, 2007 The drive you have is very old and afaik is not compatible with dual layer, well last time I looked at specs for that drive it was not. Right on Donta! The 1100 is a single layer burner...period. I have used one since they were new on the market and still have it in use now. I haven't found a firmware yet that can change it to DL status. It's in my server, an old 330 mhz machine, and it works great still.
