tempgal Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Hi -- Searched before I posted but did not find anything relevant, so either my search terms are wrong or what I am trying to do cannot be done, or I need some program other than Imgburn to do it. I have an 8.5GB ISO -- not a movie but a collection of applications. At present, I can mount it with a virtual drive and work with it from there but would prefer to burn it in order to free space on the computer but preserve the info on disk. Am assuming that the burning would have to be to a double layer DVD. My computer is new and I *think* it has double layer write capability. (If so, it would seem that the computer would come with software to do this and an instructional booklet but this is not the case.) Can Imgburn handle this task? Can someone suggest the appropriate Imgburn guide or suggest another program? Or, just confirm for me that it cannot be done? The search terms that I used were burn double layer data ISO. Thanks.

Cynthia Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Hi and welcome to the forum, tempgal! You can check if your burner can write DL (double layer) discs if you select this Main Menu -> Tools -> Device -> Capabilities If there is a check mark for DL - then it works. Yes, ImgBurn can do that task. This guide should help you. http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=61 The best media to use is Vebatim +R DL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tempgal Posted March 19, 2009 Author Share Posted March 19, 2009 Thanks, Cynthia. I had already read that particular guide but did not see any reference to double layer. Do I have to somehow split the ISO file or does Imgburn write continuously until both layers of the disk are full? I keep seeing references to problems regarding breaks between the layers. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynthia Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 It's just a data disc, so just burn it to a DL media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
