Guest imgimgimg Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 First of all, I use DVD flick (version 1.2.2.1) to create an ISO image. I don't check ''Burn project to disc''. I use DVD+R DL with ATAPI DVD A DH20A4P. It starts and I wait.. it starts encoding and adding all those things i want. Near the end of completion when imgburn tells me it's adding Layer break position...(dvd flick tells me it's creating ISO at the same time) , it restarts my computer and yeah i thought it was done, after I went to imgburn (version 2.4.2.0) and browse for it, but nothing!!! Why? where do i look for ISO images when there done? and how do i even burn? what is a layer break position? please help me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volvofl10 Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 go to WINDOZE START BUTTON > SEARCH and enter *.ISO this will find all ISO files on your system. make sure you search the whole PC and not just my documents or something. guides section, theres a link in the PINK banner further up this page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmalves Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 That's not from ImgBurn so we can't help you based on that. Your computer restarting while building an ISO seems like it has a driver problem and/or bad RAM. Check if you have the latest drivers for your motherboard. Also try memtest86+ to test your RAM.

volvofl10 Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 i dont know how flick works,as i dont sue it, but there must be a way in settings of telling it wether to burn it to disc, save as an ISO or save as dvd files . check out the settings to see what and where its saving it to. check your using the latest stable version of dvdflick as well and not a beta version why it restarts your PC is a strange one in itself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOCOENG Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Near the end of completion when imgburn tells me it's adding Layer break position...(dvd flick tells me it's creating ISO at the same time) , it restarts my computer I'm thinking that the ISO is never created since your machine is shutting down prior to the completion of the project. DVD Flick forces you to choose a location of your output files, so unless you are just blindly clicking YES at all the prompts you should know where your saved files are going.

Guest imgimgimg Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 sorry i'm kinda new to computers but how do i check for the latest drivers for my motherboard and can i download them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmalves Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Use SIW or HWiNFO32 to find out the brand and model of your motherboard. Then use Google to find the manufacturer's site, where you can find drivers for everything that your motherboard has Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmalves Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 The layer break is when the reader drive has to switch reading from layer 0 to layer 1, and this usually takes less than a fifth of a second. When you build with ImgBurn you're shown the possible layer breaks found according to the content you want to burn: you should choose one where a small pause is less noticeable (fade-in/fade-out/scene change/etc). The only way to not have a layer break is by using single-layer media, which also limits the amount of video/quality/data you can use. As for the screen going black, check your source video and/or the encoding settings, as this is not a problem that ImgBurn would create. It could also be related to poor quality media (Verbatim DVD+R DL 2.4x MKM-001-00 Made in Singapore blanks are the only ones that work as they should).

Guest imgimgimg Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 wow i didnt know you can choose! im currently creating another iso and good thing i know what to pick now..the one with the least unnoticeable pause.. i am using RITEK-D01-01 and so far so good.....where do i go to check my source video?... also 1 thing to note, some of the dvds ive downloaded, the show isnt quite clear and sometimes it would be too big to fit on the screen.. i wanna correct this but i dont know how....how do i do it? i have this like over 25 inch tv /below 30 inches but i dont know if its normal 4.3 or widescreen 16.9..also does pan & scan display good to check? i hope this can be answered here... my target format is NTSC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmalves Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Since that's related to the conversion part, I think you'll get a better answer at DVD Flick's forum DVD Flick uses ImgBurn to create the ISO image and/or burn the project to disc, and that's the part we can be most helpful at Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest imgimgimg Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 ok i will go check asap. be back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest imgimgimg Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Ok i got the answer i needed in the dvd flick forum. I didn't want to create another thread so i think i'll just post all my problems here. new problem i am currently burning 2 avi files of about 700 mb each. i then wanna create 2 iso image..is there anyway i can combine those 2 iso into 1 dvd+r dl? how??? or should i separate?

mmalves Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Add the 2 AVIs to DVD Flick and set its target size to dual-layer DVD (8000 MB aprox), but don't save it as an ISO or burn directly: follow this guide to burn the VIDEO_TS folder generated by DVD Flick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
