Why don't you burn as UDF ?
I always burn as UDF, if my image is bigger than 2 GB.

because all the UDF CD or DVD I have burn I can't read it! UDF is a bad format and very bad supported format in my opinion...Originally Posted by DomiOhComment

I never had any problems with UDF...
Probably I only have luck...Comment

You can also use splitted image formats - there are enough formats supporting splitted images (Alcohol mds/mdf, Blindwrite b5t etc.).
And if your system is unable to read UDF DVDs, there's something wrong with your system.Everybody be cool! You, be cool!

Try using Phisical Partition as type of UDF and version UDF 1.02 for better compatibilityMejor morir de pie, que no vivir de rodillas.Comment

I know it and I do it in some case. The problem is for the 1:1 copy of the latest game, if I try to split the image in 2GB file with Alcohol the image is not "correct" for the check, if I made a single file the check is ok... don't know why...Originally Posted by Copytrooper
I tested the dvd on different OS and PCs with the same result...Originally Posted by CopytrooperComment

Mount an image inside another image II

First of all, I’m glad to see the amount of people who have read my post and replied to it, thank you all.
I have to say a thing: I have tried to mount the B-image (inside the A-image), using the same virtual drive _intentionally_ i.e. in order to test the behaviour of the daemon tools to solve this abnormal situation. As it is a possible action that an user can do, you must consider both positive and collateral effects. I know that there is the possibility to use 4 virtual drives, but I think this is not the right answer (that is not the way to solve the problem), as it is possible to lock all the 4 virtual drives, just mounting more “russian doll’s style” images!! It sounds as say “Why do you use a virtual drive? Just burn the image and use a real cd/dvd!”
I want to underline that this is not a strange idea, as it is a different to change a real cd/dvd from a _real_ cd/dvd rom drive than an image mounted in a _virtual_ drive. In fact I think we have to consider that there are other programs (as Nero image drive or Alcohol 120%) that offer the same utility, so often it is not very simple to recognize each virtual drive and could be simple mount an image (included in an image already mounted) on the same virtual drive; maybe it is a non-linear idea, but may happens…
In the end I think that it is the best idea to offer to the user a popup message ( as AmphetaMarinE wrote "This image resides inside the currently mounted image. Please enable more than one virtual drive for successful mounting of nested image files." (thanks!) ) that informs him that there are some tasks on the A-image (that would be unmounted) that is safe not to terminate (and so refuse the operation).

Windows 2k SP4, but I have tested UDF also on Win98SE OS (on WinXP don't remember...).Originally Posted by arisma
But the problem isn't the UDF, is a little bug in the latest Daemon Tools version, with 3.47 version you could mount Image from Image (using different virtual drives).Comment

After this reset, windows was no more capable to start itself, so it has been necessary to use the “last working configuration”. As hierro said, daemon 3.47 was able to boot an image inside another image, for this reason I tried to force the program to mount the B-image on the same virtual drive of the A-image: I supposed that in the new version were included all the features of the older versions, adding new options!
I think there is still some work to do… AnubiLast edited by Anubi; 06.03.2006, 16:07.Comment

I'm still not sure I understand the necessity of having nested images? Why not just have each image individually in their own subdirectory if you really want to keep them sorted? This seems like a waste of time to me. I'm not trying to simply dismiss what you're doing, but I am trying to understand - without much success I might add.Comment

I need it because the only way I can read and see an UDF cd/dvd is mounting it with daemon (or alchool...). And UDF is the only FS that support a file >2GB on DVD. So I can put a big file on an UDF image and then split this image in 2 file <2GB and write it on a dvd...Originally Posted by Jito463Comment

The point of DT is so that you DONT insert 2 cds.....Originally Posted by CopytrooperComment

I think is the same to have a .zip file inside a .rar archive. What is the sense? But it is possible to download a lot of such files!
I can only report my own experience: I have the necessity to make nested images as I create customized start menu of collection of games. So I have the image of every games and I have to create a big image that contains the files used to the autorun of the dvd and the images of the games. I have to test it works properly before burn it.
Just another example: it is possible to download some games that contain inside their images the mini-image to start the game: why could I not try to start the game mounting the mini-image directly from its location (i.e. inside the image of the game)?
Don’t worry Jito463, I don’t feel insulted by your opinion!
I hope to have express clearly my own ideas.Last edited by Anubi; 11.03.2006, 19:49.Comment
