Windows can't open Disk Image File

Post by Poopsi »

I have just burned my first Slide Show in a DVD. The first time after burning the DVD the Program froze. The second time all went well. I created a Disk image and specified MY Videos as the location. Later I tried to openthe File from My Videos and had the Message come up that Windoes can't open this File. What did I do wrong? I still have the Slideshow saved in my Documents and can use it again but can't open it from My Videos. Irene

Hi Irene:

The disc image file (.ixb I think?) is not a photo image file but a file that represents a CD (or DVD), and that's why Windows does not recognize the file. The only usage of this disk image file is to let you burn it to a disk and play the disk in some player. For more information on a disk image file, you can check http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_image

To burn a disk image file to disk, you can use Ulead Disc Image Recorder by selecting Start->Programs->Ulead CD DVD PictureShow->Ulead CD DVD Disc Image Recorder. Or you can double clicks on the DiscDup.exe file in where you install DVDPS to invoke the Disc Image Recorder.

Hope this helps.
