Thanks for the ImgBurn tie-up. This does indeed overcome the problem of failed iso creation, which has been plaguing me on Windows 7 - same issue as Vista it seems.

ImgBurn & Version 3.16.0

Greetings! Thanks for all your hard work to make DeVeDe available to the Windows community--it's a great program.

With v.3.16.0, is there a way to verify that Imgburn is called to create the ISO image? I don't see ImgBurn pop up as it did with v.3.12.4.

In my last DVD creation, I was trying to create a 125% DVD (needed every possible bit), & DeVeDe succeeded with an image size of 4.831 GB--too large, of course, for a single-sided 4.7GB DVD. With v.3.12.4 and an image > 4.7 GB, ImgBurn would start, but you saw the "failure" right away--was IB working to split the files over 2 DVDs?--and so you knew the ISO file would be too big. (I ran v.3.16.0 @ 125% unattended--I only saw the resulting too-large ISO file.)

The ImgBurn directory has NOT been my system path.

Thanks,
Dave

ImgBurn & Version 3.16.0

Well, my post was messed up. -IF- I had done the math: (If this calculation is correct) wouldn't 1024 KB (i.e., 1MB) x 1024 (=1 GB) x 4.7GB = 4,928,307 KB, which as an disc image file would "fit" on a "4.7 GB" DVD? My ISO image created @"125%" of fill (4,831,xxx KB) would seem to fit nicely on a "4.7 GB" DVD.

That aside, can we assume that DeVeDe 3.16 will always find and utilize ImgBurn in Vista/7, since it does not pop up on the desktop as it did in v.3.12.4?

Thanks,
Dave

size of dvd 5

it is better to keep dvd file size under 4.4 GB.
most dvd 5 blanks wont hold 4.7 gb error free.
also you have the "actual" size being larger than what is shown on hd.

As long as ImgBurn is

As long as ImgBurn is installed and run it should be able to detect its installed path from the registry. At least this is the case on all the XP/Vista computers I have tested on. Of this is a small set of computers (1 vista computer, 2 xp computers and 1 xp virtual machine).

To make sure I just retested 3.16 on vista and it did not use image burn. I will look into that. Truthfully I have not done much testing of 3.16. Just enough to see if it created a dvd and I did not watch to see if imageburn was used until just now.

I just received a new windows 7 computer this week so I will probably test it on this as well.

One thing I could do is include imgburn in the devede install. However I want to avoid including non open source programs from the install since everything else is open source.
