Help burning ISO file..

Admiral Huddy · 7 May 2007 at 20:45

I'm using Nero to burn an ISO file to DVD but i get the following error:

Foreign Image File..
The entered size does not correspond to the image length. The block size may be wrong. Do you want to correct the value or ignore the problem?

Ignoring the message creates an empty disk.. Correction brings up a series of options ???

I tried using MagicISO but this also creates an empty disk (shows as just a CD in win exp).

Any ideas?

Give ImgBurn a try. It should just burn the iso for you and take care of the rest.

Let us know if ImgBurn still doesn't solve your problem.

Load the ISO into UltraISO and see if you can extract all the files from it.

Its the best program I've used when others have failed.

Drag the file into the top part of UltraISO (or open it) and then double click on it and hopefully it will show you whats in the ISO.
You can then drag the files out of it into the bottom part of UltraISO.

Simply change the block size to the other one.

I know, rather pathetic isn't it? Never mind.

I'm still stuck.. nothing I've tried works..??

After buring, the disk just shows as an empty CD (not DVD) with nothing on it?

Any ideas?

Is it becasue I'm trying to burm a CD image file to a DVD?

MarcLister · 13 May 2007 at 17:10

Its just an ISO isn't it? It shouldn't matter if you are burning a "CD image" to a DVD. The ISO shouldn't be bothered about the media its getting burned to, if the media is big enough that is.

If you can get your hands on UltraISO then do it.
This is UltraISO working with an ISO of a Slayer bootleg concert and Slayer don't mind bootlegs so perfectly legal.

Open the ISO into UltraISO and you will see it in the top screen.
Double click the file in UltraISO and it will ask you if you want to do it and then you should see something like whats in the second picture.
just for the hell of it you can click inside the directory and see whats inside.
If you can see the files then just drag them out into the bottom part of UltraISO.
if you can't see any files then the ISO is corrupt.

This is what I though.. but nothing shoes on the disk afterwards (blanks disk). In explorer, she drive shows as CD.. not DVD???

MarcLister · 13 May 2007 at 17:19

So you've burned an ISO to a DVD yet Windows shows it as a CD afterwards? I can't understand that at all. Can you tell us what you are trying to burn?

You haven't put a blank DVD into a CD writer drive have you?

Admiral Huddy · 13 May 2007 at 17:23

It's an application.

I place a blank DVD in the drive first yes. It is a DVD writer. Why, what am i doing wrong?

MarcLister · 13 May 2007 at 17:23

Is it a DVD writer though? If you've put the DVD into a CD writer it ain't going to work.

It is a DVD writer

MarcLister · 13 May 2007 at 17:26

Right thats that sorted then. I was just hoping you hadn't put a DVD disc into a CD writer.

So you are using ImgBurn? Have you changed any settings? Any chance of some screenshots to illustrate what you're doing in ImgBurn or pehaps just a screeny of the end process when its all complete?
