You're kidding. Whoever chastised you should be ashamed - there is no such thing as a stupid question, only stupid answers (like answering by telling someone they're stupid).

ImageTools Classic can indeed make an ISO image. However, it's intended for making ISO images of Digital Video Disks (DVDs) so it has some requirements:
- the image directory must have a VIDEO_TS directory
- the VIDEO_TS directory must have VIDEO_TS.IFO and VIDEO_TS.VOB files

What that means is that you have to set up a directory structure to burn similar to the following:

C
+ dvds
+ backup0424
+ VIDEO_TS
| VIDEO_TS.BUP
| VIDEO_TS.IFO
| VIDEO_TS.VOB
| ... and so on


You can put whatever else you want in the image directory (the directory above VIDEO_TS - backup0424 in this example), including other subdirectories, but don't put anything except DVD video files (BUPs, IFOs and VOBs) in the VIDEO_TS directory.

You then choose the image directory in ImageTools, tell it the name and location to save the image file to, give it a label, and press go. It will create an ISO image with all the files and subdirectories of the image directory.

Note: I don't think ImageTools actually goes to the trouble to confirm the files under VIDEO_TS are valid. I believe you could create some text files that say 'hi there', name them VIDEO_TS.IFO and VIDEO_TS.VOB, and ImageTools would be happy.

Little John:

In this thread (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=68918), posted January 16 of this year, you stated that you had "acquired" an ISO of Kill Bill. I didn't take the time to pull the release date out of a database, but even if this title was available to the public at that time, we can only discuss or give help on titles that you personally own. By stating that you'd "acquired" an ISO of this title you were in violation of one of our basic rules.

Take a look at the Announcement (http://forum.doom9.org/announcement.php?s=&forumid=6) on the Newbies homepage and the Forum Rules (http://forum.doom9.org/forum-rules.htm) for more complete instructions.

Your intelligence was never in question, only your adherence to forum rules. See how quickly Kediriken responded to a question which was properly formatted and met all the proper posting criteria? Good luck!
