View Full Version : Burning an ISO file

I'm trying to burn an ISO file to a CD. So far, I've used Prassi Primo DVD 2 to burn the image, but the CD appears blank when loaded into a PC.
Then I tried Nero v5 and the resulting CD contained one big file with an .ISO extention.

Both applications were being used in their ISO image burning mode, not a regular data/file mode, so I was expecting the orginal subdirectory structure to reconstitute itself. It didn't.

How does one burn an ISO file successfully?

I tried various sector sizes in Primo DVD and found that 2048 did the trick.

For future browsers:

Try DVDDecryptor. Has a great image burning option.

Bass,

If you are burning an ISO, you will not be able to see anything on the disc when you put it in your PC. This is perfectly normal. For example: the xbox games are in a true ISO format (abliet encrypted). If you take an xbox game and place it in your PC, it may have a 13Mb file on it which simply tells you it will only play in the xbox, even though it may have 4Gig of additional data. For those who know how and have a modded xbox, you can rip an xbox game over the network and use an ISO utility to convert the files to an ISO, then burn using NERO or RecordNow to a DVD, it will appear to have nothing on the disc even though it is full.

In Nero, you goto File -> Burn Image and then select the image. Click burn... done.

Nero 5.5 didn't do it for me. That's what I did, burned image.

What was more likely the problem was choosing CD mode 2 XA. After I went to the old standard of 2048 bytes, the copy worked, but I did that in Primo DVD.
