New version of ImgTool

[CouJo]

Yes, ImgTool sets the same flags: ISO and UDF, which creates a ISO-UDF-Bridge filesystem.

Greets, CouJo!

CouJo,

I just did Ocean's Eleven and Collateral Damage. For these I went and stripped off everything, created new ifos, and split. On both these original DVDs, video_ts.vob was not present and considered normal condition so that I went ahead and created new video_ts and vts_01 ifos.

Anyway when using imgtool 0.99.5, I got errors on all of four of these discs stating that "video_ts.vob was not present and there is a possibility that it may not be playable". It didn't matter if I had reallocation checked or unchecked, I still had that error message. Well, I went ahead and took the chance with reallocation checked and burnt Collateral Damage disk 1. Result: Would not play on my picky primary Sony standalone , but will play on an Apex though.

Now I went ahead and burnt it with Nero 5.5.9.17 DVD-video format and I got no errors and in fact, all discs were error-free and succesfull burns and all played in all my standalones .

Can you fix imgtool detecting of no video_ts.vob? Regular Nero has no problems. This gotta be a bug.

[CouJo]

At this point of ISO tree creation I only check if video_ts.vob is present. If it doesn't exist ImgTool brings up the described MessageBox. Click on "yes" if ImgTool asks you (if you want to continue). Leave Reallocation checked - it has nothing to do with this MessageBox.

CouJo,

Using 0.99.5, I did your recommendation with reallocation checked or unchecked and I got burn failure for both. I can't even burn images either in any format. There's alot of DVDs coming out with no video_ts.vobs. If I read your reply correctly, you programmed ImgTool to detect if video_ts.vob is present? If so, would disabling that make a difference and ImgTool would still reallocate files.

Movies I'm doing with no video_ts.vobs: Pluto Nash, Scooby-Doo Meets Batman, Scooby-Doo Creepiest Capers

[CouJo]

If the video_ts.vob files is missed, following messagebox appears:

Warning:
Missing following file: "VIDEO_TS.VOB"
Do you want to continue?
Your created disc will possible unplayable!


Click on "yes" and ImgTool will go on even without this file. Thats all! It's only a warning and no break!!! If burning failes there must be another error.

Greets, CouJo!

CouJo,

I'm sorry to get you riled up but I made six coasters already but you mentioned there must be another error somewhere. Currently, I have Nero 5.5.9.17 installed with updated ASPI.

Scenario 1:
Imgtool 0.99.4 to 0.99.7 will burn disks and images if video_ts.vob is PRESENT. It doesn't matter if I did splits or created new ifos. Sometimes, I may have to disable reallocation sometimes but "burn failed" message doesn't pop-up.

Here are my factual scenarios...

Scenario 2:
Imgtool 0.99.4 to 0.99.7 will NOT burn disks and images if video_ts.vob is NOT PRESENT on splitted DVDs. Even clicking on "yes" will lead to "burn failed" error message. Nero will burn disk if I didn't have reallocation errors. Proven with Ocean's Eleven.

Scenario 3:
Imgtool 0.99.4 to 0.99.7 will NOT burn disks and images if video_ts.vob is NOT PRESENT on non-splitted DVDs. Even clicking on "yes" will ALWAYS lead to "burn failed" error message. Nero will burn disk if I didn't have reallocation errors.


So really Coujo, either Imgtool can burn in any scenario or can't at all. If it can burn, then I have no error problem. I only have problems with DVDs with no video_ts.vobs. In scenario 2, if Nero can burn then why can't imgtool? It uses the same API.

You know more about how programs work than me and what is your theory on this.

Does anyone have my problem too?

[CouJo]

First of all: if your are unsure if your ripped DVD works, use rewriteable media.

If ImgTool creates the VIDEO_TS ISO tree, it will check for following files: video_ts.ifo, video_ts.vob and video_ts.bup. If the video_ts.vob file is missed, then the above described message box pops up. If you say "no" here, the process is stopped. If you say "yes" the process goes on. There is no different handling or something else. Are there any details in the log?
...
I now have tested following Scenario:

I have on my HD a working DVD root from a french movie "Die fabelhafte Welt der Amélie" (this is the German title). From this movie I have stripped something out (language, subtitles) and have reencoded the video. After reauthor with DVD Maestro I have this VIDEO_TS dir on HD. Now I have renamed the video_ts.vob file to video_ts.vob.bak so ImgTool can't find this file. I start up ImgTool, use the ImageRecorder, call the Image "Amelie" and start the burn process. First the message "missing file" pops up. I press yes. Then "Reallocation failed" pops up (this is normally because I have renamed a really needed file), I press yes to go on. The message "missed file" appears again (this is because I simply start the burn function again) I press yes again and wait...

After some minuts I get a "...successfully completed"...

So if you have a DVD root without video_ts.vob, the only difference ImgTool makes is the "warning missed file" messagebox.

Sorry...

[2COOL]

CouJo,

I was trying to burn The Adventures of Pluto Nash R1. The whole disk is less than 4.7GB. I just ripped all files with Smartripper.

I am using:
Windows 98 Second Edition (I see you using WinXP)
Nero 5.5.9.17
Imgtool 0.99.7
Current APSI downloaded from Adaptec for Win98 SE

Just before I perform this task, I had successfully burnt two DVDRs using Imgtool so the APSI is working.


Pluto Nash DVD contains the files:
Video_ts.bup
Video_ts.ifo
Vts_01_0.bup
Vts_01_0.ifo
Vts_01_0.vob
Vts_01_1.vob
Vts_01_2.vob
Vts_01_3.vob
Vts_01_4.vob
Vts_02_0.bup
Vts_02_0.ifo
Vts_02_0.vob
Vts_02_1.vob

So you see, this movie did not have a "Video_ts.vob" to begin with. I immediately tried to burn image using imgtool 0.99.7 with reallocation checked first.

BurnCD() : burn failed:(

-------------

By the way, reallocation failed because my vts_02_0.vob was 0kb. Does having Win98 SE have anything to do with it? I hope you can analyze what is going on with my Imgtool 0.99.7.

2cool

[CouJo]

The first thing I see is the mass of drivers ImgTool lists. If you look in my log there is only one driver. Maybe there is the problem.

Where the ImageRecorder stops? If the disc is larger than 4 GB, Win98 has the problem with the max. filesize which is limited on Fat32 at 4GB.

btw. for all the other readers: Please don't use Nero 5.5.10.0. The DVD Video compatibility of this version is worse than all previous versions. So I'm looking for another burning API... If someone has an idea which API tp use, please contact me!

Thanx, CouJo!

[2COOL]

Coujo,

In my last reply, I stated that I had a vts_02_0.vob at 0kb that got me for reallocation errors. So I went ahead and took that out, get VTS, and burn. Here is my results.

Burn with:

ImgTool 0.99.7 with or without reallocation-Burn failure.
ImgTool 0.99.4 with or without reallocation-Burn OK/No errors.
Nero 5.5.9.17 DVD Video- Burn OK/No errors.

[CouJo]

Maybe I found the problem...

I think the described problem appears by recursive call of the burn function. I've changed this but I'm not sure if this will fix your problem...

So please download ImgTool 0.99.8 (http://www.coujo.de/portal/portal_database.php?action=view&fid=6&cid=1) and check it out. Let me know if it works or not...

[dvdWannabe]

CouJo - I've been using the 5.5.9.9 version and have been pretty happy.

What is the last version of Nero that is the most DVD friendly?

[2COOL]

CouJo,

I wanted to test ImgTool 0.99.8 with another problem DVD I had a month ago. My DVD is Scooby Doo Meets Batman R1.

18 Files:
Video_ts.bup/ 12KB
Video_ts.ifo/ 12KB
Video_ts.vob/ 0KB
Vts_01_0.bup/ 92KB
Vts_01_0.ifo/ 92KB
Vts_01_0.vob/ 6,6304KB
Vts_01_1.vob/ 1,048,574KB
Vts_01_2.vob/ 1,048,574KB
Vts_01_3.vob/ 1,048,574KB
Vts_01_4.vob/ 420,520KB
Vts_02_0.bup/ 28KB
Vts_02_0.ifo/ 28KB
Vts_02_0.vob/ 0KB
Vts_02_1.vob/ 589,428KB
Vts_03_0.bup/ 14KB
Vts_03_0.ifo/ 14KB
Vts_03_0.vob/ 0KB
Vts_03_1.vob/ 68,584KB

In this DVD, I have three vobs that are at 0KB (Video_ts,Vts_02.0, and Vts_03_0).

I had 4 testing scenarios:
1... Burn image with all 18 files
2... Burn image with 0KB files deleted(Video_ts.vob,Vts_02.vob,Vts_03.vob)and get VTS Sectors
3... Burn all 18 files directly to Sony DVD+R/RW DRU-120a
4... Burn directly to Sony DVD+R/RW DRU-120a with 0KB files deleted(Video_ts.vob,Vts_02.vob,Vts_03.vob)and get VTS Sectors


----------------------------------------
Scenario 1: Burn image with all files

ImgTool 0.99.8 with reallocation: reallocation failed:(
ImgTool 0.99.8 without reallocation: burn failure:(
ImgTool 0.99.4 with reallocation: reallocation failed/burn failure:(
ImgTool 0.99.4 without reallocation: image burnt/DVD burn OK
Nero 5.5.9.17 DVD-Video: Got pop-message error that I have files less than 2KB but have the option to have that ignored and image was burnt out of compliance.
Haven't tested if DVD burn is OK of image but I assume it'll work.
----------------------------------------
Scenario 2: Burn image with 0KB files deleted(Video_ts.vob,Vts_02.vob,Vts_03.vob)and get VTS Sectors

ImgTool 0.99.8 with reallocation: missing Video_ts.vob message/reallocation failed/burn failure:(
ImgTool 0.99.8 without reallocation: missing Video_ts.vob message/burn failure:(
ImgTool 0.99.4 with reallocation: image burnt/DVD burn OK
Nero 5.5.9.17 DVD Video: Image burnt
----------------------------------------
Scenario 3: Burn all files directly to Sony DVD+R/RW DRU-120a

ImgTool 0.99.8 with reallocation: reallocation failed:(
ImgTool 0.99.8 without reallocation: burn OK
ImgTool 0.99.4 with reallocation: reallocation failed/burn failure:(
ImgTool 0.99.4 without reallocation: burn OK
Nero 5.5.9.17 DVD-Video: reallocation failed but given option to burn out-of-compliance.
----------------------------------------
Scenario 4: Burn directly to Sony DVD+R/RW DRU-120a with 0KB files deleted(Video_ts.vob,Vts_02.vob,Vts_03.vob)and get VTS Sectors

ImgTool 0.99.8 with reallocation: missing Video_ts.vob message/burn OK
ImgTool 0.99.4 with reallocation: missing Video_ts.vob message/burn OK
Nero 5.5.9.17 DVD-Video: reallocation OK/burn OK

----------------------------------------

If reallocation worked, I felt no need to have reallocation disabled.

So what did I gather from all this testing?

SUMMARY:
1. ImgTool 0.99.8 will NOT burn images with or without reallocation but 0.99.5 will do if reallocation is unchecked.
2. ImgTool 0.99.8 will burn directly if no 0KB vobs are present.
3. ImgTool 0.99.4 will burn directly if with reallocation unchecked and OKB files present.
4. ImgTool 0.99.4 will burn directly without 0KB files present and no errors.
5. Nero 5.5.9.17 seems to be doing a good job but with past experience, if I get the option to burn out-of-compliance, chances are my Sony picky DVP-S300 won't play it.

Bad news: Something evil .:devil: is going on in the image burning department for ImgTool. Nero 5.5.9.17 works!
Good news: I can at least burn a DVD without Video_ts.vob present now but only directly:D

[CouJo]

@2COOL
Just to be sure... Take a problem scenario and then disable realloc directly without a first try with enabled reallocation. Then try a burn or image creation.

It's really the first time that someone reports such a problem...

I see the problem in the mass of drivers listet by ImgTool. Which burn software you are using?

@dvdWannabe

Pretty simple answer: If you are completely happy with your installed version, use it - please - don't update.

Nero between 5.5.8.x and 5.5.9.x are good in compatibility. 5.5.10.0 seems to be not that good...

[2COOL]

Done it. No change in status.

It'll take me time as I deleted the movie off my harddrive after successfully burning it, but I'll try to move all the VXDs except one, NeroAPIX.vxd. I just installed this today. As for burning software, I'm using Nero 5.5.9.17. I do have Recorder B's Gold that came with my burner installed.

[The_Flash]

Any ideas why ImgTool wouldn't work with Nero installed as Enterprise Edition? If I swap Nero's Enterprise serial for a standard key ImgTool loads and works fine. Just curious as to why this would be.

[N3m1515]

When I start IMGTOOLS 0.99.8 why does it say

Nero API ver 5.5.9.17
Serial is invalid???

[klona]

Hi Coujo,
One thing I would appreciate you update in your next release is a small fiw for this :
When reallocation fail, if you click OK to continue without, write speed come back to 2X even if you first choose 1X.

Another thing, but not sure ont hat one.
When copying DVD5, I rip in file mode with dvddecrypter then butn with Imgtool; This ensure the best compatibility and allow small change with ifoedit.

When I try after burn to delete the dir with files, it delete files but the dir itself is locked. I need then to reboot my XP to be able to delete. If I only do DVDdecrypter, dir are never locked.

With imgtool 0.998 and Nero 5.5.10.0, NTFS partitions

[dvdWannabe]

Coujo - could you add .ISO image creation?

If this were in place, I could mount it with Daemon tools and test the image before burning - or just store it on the hard drive for playing at a later time.

[dvdWannabe]

Coujo - never mind on ISO creation. I found out the Nero provides an image mounter for .NRG that seems to work ok.

[CouJo]

@ N3m1515
Read the help:

F: Nero knows my recorder but ImgTool doesn't...
A: Hm... interesting problem...
Have a look at the Log window. Try to find something like "illegal serial number". Have you found that string? There is the problem. Nero may run without problems even if you use an illegal serial, but the API doesn't! Use your own legal serial number and ImgTool will know your recorder too.


@ klona
You've got PM! Please test this version and let me know if it works (or not ;) )!

@ The Flash
I really don't know why ImgTool doesn't start with Nero Enterprise. I have tested it and find the same behaviour...

[klona]

Thank you Coujo.
Version 0.999 solves the burning speed prob when reallocate fails. It stay to the 1X speed previously selected.
Just a small thing, if you select first speed then select the root dir, the speed case goes to an empty case, but the speed selected before is still active if you burn. a small display prob in fact.

I just did one DVD-R but was able to delete the dir, even with imgtool still open. Seems it's ok but I would need more burn to be sure.

Concerning your advice to use nero 5.5.9.X instead of 5.5.9.10 which has bad result :
I had pretty bad burn and though it was a bad serie in my bulkpaq stock but it's probably more a problem with. In fact, coming back to 5.5.9.x helped me, but not enough to come to the same level than before. I also did a 1.40 firm update and Bulkpaq are Princo in fact and it seems there is effectively a problem with that firm and Princo media. Will downgrade and test the result in a new thread I think.
BTW, I look @ quality with DVDspeed results. Not perfect but a good clue

[CouJo]

@klona
Thank you for your tests.

There is a new version of ImgTool with following changes:

Version 0.99.9 / 11.01.2003
===========================
- close every find handle
(hope now the source DVD Root can be deleted
without restarting windows)
- Don't change Speed after
"automatical reallocation OFF"
- choosed Speed is now saved in ini file


...if someone knows Linux programming and the version numbering on some projects, he will know, that there is never a real version 1.0 of any software. A real 1.0 would be a software without any Bugs! ...and there will never be a complex software without bugs!
... so the version number 0.99.9 of ImgTool means, I'm at the end of ImgTool programming with the Nero API 5.5.8.2. At this moment there is no newer API SDK version, also if the newest Nero version is 5.5.10.0.
This version of ImgTool will be the last one for some time. If the API changes and give some new possibilities, I'll include them but until then, this is the final ImgTool 0.99!

Download it Here (http://www.coujo.de/portal/portal_database.php?action=view&fid=6&cid=1)

[jsoto]

@dvdWannabe
Coujo - could you add .ISO image creation? If this were in place, I could mount it with Daemon tools
I really do not know what kind of image Coujo is creating, but it works with daemon-tools. You only have to select All files (*.*) and mount it :).

Regards

[klona]

It's nrg image, that means Nero image.
Seems you can mount it in daemon tool if Nero image tool is installed.

[CouJo]

...there is a slightly changed version of ImgTool available - Version 1.00.1:

Version 1.00.1 / 24.02.2003
===========================
- function to obtain the speed changed
- minor changes in help file


Download ImgTool Here (http://www.coujo.de/portal/portal_database.php?action=view&fid=6&cid=1)

Also if the version number has changed - there are really few changes...

...and another suggestion: Ahead has improved the DVD compatibility in Nero 5.5.10.7b - so the best version to be Standalone compatible is this version ;) !

[klona]

Thx for the update.
Perhaps something left with erasing the DVD-RW, which causes Imgtool to hang (Frozen)
I did not test further as , in the same windows session (No reboot I mean but Imgtool killed), I start Nero and erase from there then close nero, start imgtool and burned successfully.


A small option I would like is to be able to avoid the eject tray at the end of the burning. I often burn when going to sleep or leaving for work, and the tray stay open all the night/day.
And I have a very funny cat, always looking for some stupid joke :-)


Something else is you need to put an empty DVDR, wait for the burnber to correctly detect it (A few sec until the yellow light appears), then only start imgtool.
If you don't wait for the burnber to detect, you can't choose the burning speed and need to close, relaunch.

In the other hand, I did direct copy from my DVD-116 to my A03, just by using the source dir directly on the source DVD and it worked very nicely.

And ImgTool is still the best solution to burn properly, and I encourage every people with burning problem to try it.

[atreides93]

I use ImgTools all the time. It is an excellent utility for burning images.

[CouJo]

Hello Klona,

I've tested something and maybe I can fix something. Please test it. It's no official release but maybe it becomes one ;) !

Here is the link:
http://www.coujo.de/download/ImgTools.zip

Whats new?
- "Reload Speed Box"-Button added
- More Burn Settings (see Menu ==> Other Settings)
- improved erase routine if you try to write on non empty DVD-+RW media

But note: You now need Nero 5.5.9.14 or better!!!

Please post any suggestions!

[klona]

Thanks.

Was already on the 5.5.10.7b, updated from the 5.5.9.14...

Yes new version fixes the problem with erasing a DVD-RW, both in quick and full mode, from the erase button, or when trying to burn a not-empty DVDRW.


A progress bar would be welcome for the full erase mode, but it's not mandatory.

Thanks for "not eject" options, and a good idea to add button to reset to default DVD settings; The power of Imgtool comes from the fact it's simple to configure and to use.



With these tests I also found that the Abort fonction do nothing, except freezing the display.


ImgTool seems to be waitong for the burner to be ready, so no more dectection problem.


Great also that it remember which drive is the burner.

Greets, CouJo!

[Chibi Jasmin]

I am actually using ImgTools 0.89, so I don't mind too much, but I just wanted to let you know that with the newer versions (0.99 - 1.00.3) I still have this occassional problem, that ImgTools just doesn't start, most often, when upgrading Nero, I think...sometimes solved by reinstalling Nero as you suggested, sometimes not solved...I didn't investigate too much, because I don't use the burn versions, but others might have the problem as well...

[CouJo]

This is really a problem but I don't know how to fix it. If you use a Nero Enterprise Key, ImgTool never works.

Another way is to look in your taskmanager and search for a process like "imapi". Kill this process and try to start ImgTool again.

Also the combination of various installed burning software can cause this problem.

IMAPI is not running.

Enterprise key: Not that I am aware of...

And I already had different burning programs installed and uninstalled...I don't know any pattern to this behaviour...but I didn't play much with it, because I use ImgTools0.89 anyway...

[CouJo]

Hi there,

a new version of ImgTool is available - version 1.00.4.

Greets, CouJo!

[mrbass]

dang coujo...should've started a new thread. Oh well ..thanks for the commandline. It'll add a whole can of worms of possibilities with some dvd backup programs.

[coona]

Thanx for the work you do for us :).

[klona]

Hello Coujo, I did not have time to report about the beta you sent me, but this works fully OK for me. ImgTool 1005 is great.
I will try Command line asap.
Another feature could perhap be to integrate with the explorer; Right click, Burn with Imgtool and this launch Imgtool to burn the Video_TS dir with the folder name as volume name, replacing non supported letters by allowed one ( like "_" instead " ")

[klona]

Command Line is OK. An option to choose the burn speed should be nice.

[CouJo]

Today I've released a new version of ImgTool Burn: Version 1.00.6.

What's new?

Version 1.00.6 / 15.07.2003
===========================
- installer used
- context mode added
- cl error handling improved


What does the context mode mean?

Only a small improvement: rightclick on a drive or directory, choose "Burn with ImgTool..." in the upcoming context menu. This will open ImgTool and insert the "right clicked directory" in the directory box of ImgTool Burn.

Download the newest version [ here (http://www.coujo.de/portal/portal_database.php?action=show_cat&cid=1) ].

@klona
I've slightly changed the Volume Label checking so that spaces are converted to "_". I haven't used the directory name as Volume label because what happend if you right click on the VIDEO_TS folder? So you always have to input the Volume Label but I think nevertheless it's an improvement.


Greets, CouJo!

[mrbass]

wow awesome...I don't think I can keep up with these programmers..their insane

edit: anyone have some mirrors for this. I think his homepage is doomed (linked to from front page of news of doom9 = doomed).

I don't know if anyone else is experiencing this, but ever since I changed from version 1.00.4 to 1.00.5, I can no longer play my DVD-R's on my very sensitive Toshiba player. I don't know what has changed in the code, but that's what has happened. I'll try 1.00.6 today to see if that fixed anything, however, if it doesn't I'll have to go back to the old version that was working for me. Interesting stuff. Has anyone found compatibility problems with the new versions?

Since 1.00.5 the filesystem is per default set to UDF only. But you can change this in the menu Settings ==> Filesystem Flags. Check Enable ISO 9660, press OK and go to Setings ==> Save Settings.

I hope this will help.

That windows explorer integration is pretty cool.
Here's a mirror ImgTool 1.00.6 just in case his site has trouble again. Now it seems totally fine though so you shouldn't have problems.

Thanks to imgtool and autoshrink...dvdshrink now is a complete one click process.

Thanx for the 9660 tip. Would it be a good idea to enable that by default so others don't have the same problems?? Just a thought! Great tool though.

@rkorkie
I've disabled ISO because of the comments of some other people (ISO also enables Joliet. This is a Bug in the Nero API and makes sometimes trouble). So what do you think should I do ;) ... ?!

...but you can set it to enabled and so this should be no big issue.

I don't mind setting it automatically myself. I was just thinking about other people that may have the same troubles and not know why. Is there any way you can put a disclaimer or something else of some sort to prompt or ask the user before they burn? Some might think that's an annoyance, but you can have that reminder as a setting you can turn on or off. Maybe you want to start using an INI file or the registry to save some of these related settings?
