New version of ImgTool

[CouJo]

There is already an ini file and I save something to it.

...and there is a point in the help in the FAQ section:

anyone try imgtool 1.00.6 with Nero6? I'm curious if it'll work or not.

[rkorkie]

Yes, it works just fine...as long as you don't have compatibility problems with iso 9660 being turned off!! ;-)

[klona]

it's when ISO9660 is on that some compatibility issues raise.
SA is a strange word isn'it ?

[rkorkie]

Right, that is what I understand. However, for me, when ISO 9660 is turned off, my player, a relatively new one, no longer can load the dvd's.

CouJo,

I hope I'm not asking the obvious, but is it possible to create an image with the jacket picture for the disc? I'm getting problems with pixelation burning with Nero, whereas I've never had any problems with ImgTools and burning with decrypter.

[CouJo]

The picture quality shouldn't be a problem of Nero... but you can try the JACKET_P dir with ImgTool Classic. I don't have a player who uses this dir but I think ImgTool Classic will include this directory...

There is a new version of ImgTool Burn - version 1.00.7.

Whats new?

Version 1.00.7 / 07.08.2003
===========================
- new NeroAPI 6.0.0.0
- official support for Nero 6.0.x.x
- ISO 9660 is enabled by default
(NeroAPI Bug was fixed in Nero 6)
- setting DVD-ROM Booktype now possible
(Menu "Other Settings" )
- you now need at least Nero 6.0.0.0!


The main advantage is that now no more Joliet part is created in the UDF/ISO tree. So the compatibility should be improved again. Furthermore you can enable DVD-ROM Booktype in the settings menu. This will help some problem players.

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

I am having 2 issues with version 1.00.7.

1) When re-creating TV episode dvd's, after encoding, authoring, and running IFOUpdate, all is usually well, and the burning goes without warning. Now, when I press the burn button, I get an error:

"Reallocation of DVD Video files failed. Do you want to try to burn your dvd without reallocation? You'll possibly burn a coaster."

Here is the log:

"10:27:39 AM #1 Phase 112 File APIProgress.cpp, Line 235
DVD-Video files reallocation started

10:27:39 AM #2 DVDREALLOC -21 File DVDVideoCompilation.cpp, Line 1161
Required file 'VTS_02_5.VOB' is not present

10:27:39 AM #3 Phase 115 File APIProgress.cpp, Line 235
DVD-Video files reallocation failed"

The thing is, after re-encoding, I no longer have a VTS_02_5.VOB file. I ran IFOUpdate, and testing with PowerDVD, and it works. Is this a bug of the software or a problem on my end??

2) I'm not sure if it's a file system compatibility thing, but my volume label no longer gets burned to the DVD. All the volume label becomes is "NEW". Any ideas there as well?

[CouJo]

Have you tried "Get VTS Sectors" in Ifoedit? If Nero API says that the file is missed, then the corresponding ifo file has a wrong entry.

The volume label is a interesting behavior. I have also heared this issue from another people but I can't confir this:
See image... (http://www.coujo.de/pix/isobuster.gif).

The only Issue I know is the directory order in the UDF part of the media. This is a new bug but it's not a real problem - ImgTool 0.89 has the same issue...

Greets, CouJo!

[rkorkie]

I always use IFOEdit to do the Get VTS Sectors each and every time. It makes some corrections, as always, then I proceed to burning. Either way, everything plays fine on my DVD player, but this seems like a message that should be resolved somehow, either on my end or the software's.

As far as the label, it seems like this started happening once I moved to Nero 6.0 and/or using ImgTool 1.00.6 and greater.

Is it possible to implement commandline image creation on imgtool classic? I'd like to be able to create an image using the command line, for burning with another app :)

[CouJo]

Use the included mkisofs.exe. This is the command line tool from the Cdrtools suite. With this program you can create the image.

Greets, CouJo!

[Matthew]

Thank you for pointing that out, works great :)

Update Nero to 6.0.0.11 and this problem will be solved.

Greets, CouJo!

[rkorkie]

Yep, I figured that out accidentally the other day. Thanx for confirming this!

[CouJo]

What's new?

drag'n'drop of DVD Root dir possible
small bugfix while building ISO tree
small bugfix for DVD default button (filsystem dialog)
(hopefully) better erase handling for rewriteable media
german version available

Thanks Coujo.
What is the best nero version you advice for this new ImgTool version ?

[CouJo]

I suggest the newest Nero 6.0.0.15. The first 6.x release has a bug with the Volume Label but since version 6.0.0.11 almost everything has been fixed (only the filesorting in the UDF Part outside the VIDEO_TS folder is wrong) but this doesn't affect the compatibility.
