Extracting A .img To A Dvd Quickly

[wase4711]

Lets see how good we really are around here..
Lots of folks are converting DVD's to one large .img file, and sending them around that way..
Does anyone know of a proggie that allows you to extract the .img file directly to a folder or DVD in one step, then burns it?

What procedures do YOU use to extract a .img to burn it to a dvd?

It takes me a few steps usually, changing it to an .iso, then saving the .iso somewhere, extracting it to my HD, then burning from there..I know there HAS to be an easier way..

Thanks, everyone..

i use alcohol 120% to mount the .img file. then i just copy on the fly over to the DVD disk using Nero or EZ CD. works fine.

not sure if thats your question, but thats how i do it.

Change .img to .iso and burn

After Posting reread..kinda early... Why do you want to extract it to folders. By changing extension to iso can burn with any program. Usually all the img files are at the 4.3 mark.

well. when I change it to an .iso and burn, all i get is an .iso file burned onto a cd, NOT the extracted VideoTS and AudioTS directories and files you need to play the dvd..I think I am not setting something correctly in my burning programs..

use alcohol 120%. mount the image use it, then do a disk copy from the virtual drive to the DVD blank.

trust me on this one.

hey Mo;

can I mount it onto one of my 2 cd/dvd drives, or does it have to mounted to a "virtual" one?
I've had problems using virtual drives on my machine with Alchohol 120 before, but I will try it again, if you must mount it to a virtual driive..

thanks for the help!

Yes Mike, you need to mount it to a virtual drive. Alcohol will do the lot for you- it will even burn the .img file straight to DVD so you can forgoe the extraction process- you won't even have to mount it.

Start Alcohol, choose "Image Burning Wizard". Select the image file you want to burn and set it burning- easy as that

The same applies for DvdDecrypter.....it still surprises me that almost no1 knows that this program can BURN too.....

In fact,the "supported images" list is almost as impressive as Alcohol's list.....DvdDecrypter has native support for 11 different imageformats.....what FREEWARE program does better?????

thanks, Mo, and everyone else..I did the Alchohol mounting, and it burned perfectly!!

what a great source of knowledge we have here at B1!!! :P :P
