Claire Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Re: burning directly to disk. This has worked for me before, but now, when I calculate, instead of getting DVD+_R/RW, I keep getting CD-R/RW (even though the destination to the left says Phillips DVD+-). Earlier today I played a CD in this same drive -- which I do often since the CD drive isn't working. That hasn't messed things up before but could that be the problem now? And if so, how would I fix that? Claire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Doesn't it say 'Min Req. Media' to the left of that? i.e. for the amount you're currently trying to burn you need at least a CD-R/RW disc. Add more and it'll change to say DVD, then HD DVD, then Blu-ray.

I was testing a very small clip -- to see if a new export process from my movie editor was working. Still, I'm not sure I understand your answer. Are you saying that a small clip of video could be burned to a CD? Or is it that ImgBurn just won't burn a small amount to a DVD? In any case, I did try to go on with the burn and it failed. I should have written down the error message, but it's the end of a very long day wrestling with this export/import/burn issues and I'm totally zonked and not thinking clearly. I'll have to get back to this tomorrow. Thanks, Claire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim44 Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 I was testing a very small clip -- to see if a new export process from my movie editor was working. Still, I'm not sure I understand your answer. Are you saying that a small clip of video could be burned to a CD? Yes, ImgBurn is saying you could burn that amount of data/video onto a CD. AFAIK, it looks at the amount that you are burning and makes a recommendation as to the minimum capacity disc that could hold that much (CD->single layer DVD->dual layer DVD->HD-DVD->BluRay DVD). Or is it that ImgBurn just won't burn a small amount to a DVD? It should. I occasionally do the same thing you are doing - create a small test video for trying out some new procedure or whatever, and burn it to a DVD. So far, even as small as a couple of 15-sec clips work fine. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
