Unable to consistently burn from *.ibb file

[SeattleBattle]

Hello,

 

This is my first post on these forums. I tried searching around for an answer to my problem, but I was unable to find a solution.

 

I am trying to create a *.iso file from an existing *.ibb file using the ImgBurn command line interface. Sometimes it works very well, and other times I get the following error:

 

Invalid or unsupported image file format!

Reason: First image file part is less than 2048 bytes in size.

 

I use the following command line parameters to launch ImgBurn:

imgburn.exe /src "C:\test.ibb" /overwrite /noimagedetails /start /closesuccess

 

Here is a copy of my *.ibb file:

Does anyone know why I can't get this to work consistently? As I said before, about 1/3 of the time it behaves just as I want it to and about 2/3 of the time it fails.

 

Thank you in advance.

IBB's are for Build mode, not Write mode.

 

The fix?

 

Issue the /mode command - it's probably the most important one!
