chas2003 Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 I have Easy CD Creator 5.3.5.10a I have a .img file which is an image for an entire DVD. I could put in on a DVD as a file but I can not figure out how to create a DVD FROM the .img file. The "help" here said that version 5 does not support DVDs at all but at least for 5.3.5.10a that is false as it does have DVD type products. Any ideas how to get Easy CD creator to do it? Or know of any freeware to do it? Thanks, Chas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure someone with more knowledge will stop by to help. Did find this that might help. Burning ISO Images Using Roxio Easy CD Creator® 5.x Roxio Easy CD Creator provides support for burning ISO images using the 'Record CD from CD Image' feature. 1. Start the 'Record CD from CD Image' feature. From Easy CD Creator's File menu, select Record CD from CD Image. 2. Open the ISO image. In the file open dialog which appears, select the ISO file you downloaded. Click Open. Note: You may need to select 'ISO Image Files (*.iso)' in the file type combo-box to see the ISO files on your computer. 3. Write the CD. Easy CD Creator's 'Record CD Setup' dialog will appear.

Brendon Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 Chas, Many different programs make files with the .img extension, and they're mostly different from each other. Which program was yours made with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gi7omy Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 To add to what was already said, any DVD capability in 5 (as well as 6) was only for data files and never for movies. However, as Brendon pointed out, different programs use the .img extension, but not all are compatible. To convert these to .iso would require an external program such as Ultraiso or Poweriso Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdanteek Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 What I think gi7omy meant to say, and he can correct me if I'm mistaken! DVD capability in 5 was only for data files and Version 6 was the first version for DVD authoring video "movie". cd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DVD capability in 5 was only for data files and Version 6 was the first version for DVD authoring video "movie". cd I think we have to be really specific here. I had Movie Creator 5 which is VideoWave 5 and that had the ability to burn DVDs. ( In fact, that's the main reason I bought it.) And VW 5 was included in one of the ECDC 5 packages. However, I'm not that familiar with the different versions of ECDC 5 to know which one was capable of making movie DVDs and which was wasn't. Now I did a search of the net and in the Microsoft forums, someone claimed that all you have to do is change the file extension from .img to .iso. http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost....56&SiteID=1 For free programs to burn the file, try www.videohelp.com.

However, I'm not that familiar with the different versions of ECDC 5 to know which one was capable of making movie DVDs and which was wasn't. I thought I explained that in the post above. I will try and make it clearer, because I actually used both versions and two version before. They were Roxio's top of the line Platinum editions! Version 5 Platinum one could burn Video_ts and Vob folders as data, not a DVD authoring software. It did have mpeg 1 VCD authoring. Again, correct me if I'm mistaken!

It was a sample program distribution from Microsoft for Visual Studio 2005. Ultraiso did the whole trick. Thanks again, Chas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
