Hi,
I am trying to burn these types of files and understand they have to really be done in Alcohol. So i have tried to do this but I open my image I want to burn , click next and choose my options and then click start.
Unfortunately I get message telling me to insert an empty disc even though there is one already in the drive. The device status shows as an "empty disc (DVD)" show I am confused what is happening here.

Are there alternatives to alcohol when burning these files or does somebody know of a solution to my prob? The files are only 200-300MB but I don't mind burning them to DVD (I know my DVDs are better quality than my CDs).

I saw someone make a comment that you can burn cdi with nero but I couldn't see it as a supported file format :(

those are Alcohol 120 extensions

at the end of the day,different formats will only burn on there respective disk's,i.e dvd or cd,you cannot go wrong

like iso's must be burnt onto a dvd,u cannot burn them to cd disk
also like bin images must be burnt to cd,its not possible to burn them to a dvd disk,the system just wont allow it
unless they are converted first,but thats another issue
