Problems making .ISO files

[Skyfire3000]

Hi All

I'm fairly new to ImgBurn, though ive been using DVD Decrypter for years now.

My Problem is creating .iso format files from plane old data CD-R's. Imgburn seems to create an image fine, until i try to open it with winRAR. i get the message "the archive is either in unknown format or damaged" And stops in its tracks. I'm also unable to mount the files in Deamon tools properly, It mounts, but then Windows is not to be able to read the virtual disc.'

However i am able to make IMG/CUE & CUE/BIN combinations that mount perfectly.

I would prefer to make ISO files are they are a bit more versatile in the long run.

 

Here is my log file if that helps

 

I 18:31:06 ImgBurn Version 2.4.2.0 started!

I 18:31:06 Microsoft Windows XP Professional (5.1, Build 2600 : Service Pack 2)

I 18:31:06 Total Physical Memory: 2,096,608 KB - Available: 1,333,692 KB

ISO files typically contain MODE 1 sectors, with 2048 bytes per sector.

 

If you try and make an ISO file containing other types of sectors, some programs can't handle it.

 

I 18:42:39 Reading Track 1 of 1... (MODE2/FORM1/2352, LBA: 0 - 208230)

 

btw, leave the I/O interface on SPTI.

Thanks for your reply

So is it just that CD's and .ISO don't mix?

Ha, I wasn't aware either was better than the other, Ive heard ASPI was more robust, faster or something? (Needed it anyway for Clone CD back in the day)

DVD/HD DVD/Blu-ray's are always Mode1/2048, CD's can be various formats.

 

When the program can use *.ISO, it will do - otherwise it'll use the BIN/CUE format.

 

That is to say, a MODE1/2048 CD will default to save as *.ISO. Other formats will default to save as *.BIN.
