That's what I was looking for. It works fine, even with films in BD folders after changing the UDF file system. YS DG Hi Ephestione,
thx a lot for the batch file. That’s what I was looking for. It works fine, even with films in BD folders after changing the UDF file system.

Anyway, allow me to voice my doubt about this... what are you trying to accomplish by burning hidden files? Security? If that's the case, forget it ;) Hidden files are perfectly visibile by anyone who's just a little more savvy than bare basic. Maybe you want to use a little bit of stronger security and use truecrypt volumes instead. Hi Fajar

Bue that's even more syntax to dig into, so only makes sense if you're a geeky curious guy and/or have TONSof dvds to burn at once ;) Ephestione 2009-08-06 21:16:55 Anyway, my kind of batch file creates ISOs with the same name of the folder name. Now, I am not suggesting anything special, but I am sure there's a way in the dos batch to check IF EXISTS foldername.iso THEN GOTO skipbuild. Were I 7-8 years younger I would have found the will and time to do that, but now, being a dentist with the "technology tooth", I yet have too little free time for this :D Ephestione 2009-08-06 21:13:31 d'oh? I never got any such dialogue box in the first place during my tests of batch processing, and I wonder if that's because you're going past the 4.3GB limit of normal DVDs and thus ImgBurn thinks you're creating a dual layer ISO. Ken 2009-08-06 16:30:13 Well it looks like that feature is one everyone wants but it's not in the software. At least that's what the forums say. I do have another request though. Is there a way to check to see if a directory is already been done? If you have a large directory and you have to restart the process you have to stop each of the ones you've already done. Maybe check for an ISO file already in the directory? Ephestione 2009-08-05 08:42:36 If that's the case, then there is either a checkbox in the settings or a switch in the commandline you have to activate to automatically respond yes or no. The only switch regarding layer is LAYERBREAK and it is reserved for Dual Layer dvds, which you are obviously now using, so I'd search for the exact message you get on IMGBURN forum... and let me know so I can update the guide :) Ken 2009-08-05 04:05:31 I'm using the newest version of imgburn and when it starts working on a directory I get a message about layer location and it waits for me to respond. Do you know where in the settings I can turn this off so it will continue to run? Ephestione 2009-08-02 10:06:43 All you need to have the ISOs written on a different drive is to modify the batch file, run it in the parent directory where the folders are stored, but change F:\Burn to whatever you need. Also, you can have as many files and whichever size you want to create the ISO if you're gonna leave it on the HD, no 4.3GB limit. Ken 2009-08-02 06:07:18 Thanks for the tutorial but have a question. I'm kind of confused. Is there a way to have my movie files (source) on one drive but have the resulting ISO written to a different one? Also I don't want this for burning to DVDs I just need it for my media player toplay the ISOs from a HDD. Do they still need to be under 4.3 GB? [commenti dal vecchio sito]
