I have tried to burn a .ISO file, but in vain. I have tried 3 different software, but all of them fails.

What's wrong? :unsure:

Try PowerISO. Works great for me.

if u dont wanna burn u can also use Daemontools and just create a Virtual drive and mount the ISO image file.

Or u can also just use MagicISO and burn it.

Another vote for PowerISO; insert blank DVD, drag/drop ISO, click "burn", have burned several hundred DVDs.

When you say that your attempts fail what exactly happens? Do you get any error messages? And what option in the programs are you using? Are you trying to burn the ISO file in the same way you would an MP3? I don't know the commands in the programs you mention but in Roxio you would need to choose 'Burn Disk IMAGE' rather than 'burn data disk' or 'burn music disk'.

To your questions. Yes and no. I have used the burn image option. Nothing wrong with my cd burner. Audio and video burning works fine.

Sorry, can't remember. As this is a downloaded file, I thought it was incomplete or corrupted. So, I did another download of the file

but with the same result when I tried to burn it. I also read the comments from other people who had downloaded this file, and the response was :thumbsup: .

Semper - Yes, I found PowerIso is easy to use. Also, check your 'burner speed' option - it should match you DVD burner drive. Good luck.

ImgBurn is foolproof and free. Just remove the option to install the Google ToolBar.

ImgBurn will also produce a log that you can save, so you can post that here if there are errors.

Yes, and they are Max or 48x. :whistling:

Thanks. Will do it tomorrow. It's getting late for an old man like me.

If your using windows 7 just right click and "burn disc image"

Get an md5 file of the iso and make sure the iso is not corrupted. It is a check sum that matches your iso to the original iso.

I'll second IMGburn.

Just right click on the ISO file and select "burn with IMGburn"

It really is that easy.

If you choose to 'verify' the data and you are on a laptop, IMGburn will ask you to re-open the disc tray.

Simply open the tray, then close it and click on 'OK' .

Also it is always best to choose the slowest speed for .ISO files.

I agree with ‘HeavyDrinker’ (TV userID not a behavior – cheers) for chosing the lowest burner speed for .ISO file.

I’ll give imgBurn a try. Thanks for recommendation. Cheers again.

Can you mount the ISO? Can you play it?

June 18, 201114 yr

My standard procedure is:

1. verify the MD5 to ensure good download

2. burn at low speed; 4x for DVD, 16x for CD

3. Use high-quality blanks; I prefer Sony (the only Sony item I would ever buy).

I use K3B in Linux but just about any of the programs mentioned in this thread should do the job.

If all else fails replace the hardware, a Samsung DVD/CD burner costs only 650 baht for desktop box.

I also recommend ImgBurn for burning/creating ISOs. For mounting I use Virtual CloneDrive. Both are free.

Yep. I use them both.

Probably just a typo, but the OP, in post #9 states:

"Nothing wrong with my cd burner."

It does need to be a DVD Burner!
