dvd img files . . .

ok, so my uncle ripped a dvd image from a dvd he had made of my nephew playing in the snow. anyway, the file extension is *.img

now, i am fairly new to the whole dvd burning process and even though i have had my burner for several monthes, i havent really learned how to work it fully yet. in any event, nero doesnt seem to recognize *.img files when i try to load an image file, and i also found it interesting the daemon tools ALSO does not recognize the *.img file types; HOWEVER, if i choose "All File Types" and select the *.img file i can get daemon tools to force load it and windows and dvd playing software recognize it as a dvd.

in addition, one i was able to force daemon tools to load it, i tried doing a drive to drive copy, but i got errors, but i imagine that has something to do with the source drive being a stealthed drive.

anyway, so that my problem. what reads *.img natively?

TIA

    I'm new to this as well, but the info is fresh as I just learned how to do this last week ;).

    I use dvd decrypter's built-in writing ability to burn img because I had the same issue trying to write img files with nero. It only seems to write 1x even if I set it to 2x, but it does burn and does a fine job (no errors).

    Get Stomp now record DX. That's the newest version of the software to my knowledge and it burns IMG files as well as a few other image formats such as .iso's and .gi's and to be honest it's probably the best software out there at the moment for burning dvd's. Whether they are movies, ps2 or xbox games.

    It's also really handy for making images of discs that aren't copy protected. For copy protected dvd's i extract the files from the disc with DVD Decryptor.

    I am not sure if this will hold true with dvd img files, but with Nero and cd images, I ran into the same issue. I found out that I had to rename the .img files with a .nrg extension, and it worked like a charm.

    There is also related information on the Nero site http://www.nero.com/us/631931396850966.html#4
    It does not specifically mention the .img extension, but a couple of others.

    yeah, i have played around with renaming extensions before, and they would usually load with daemon tools, but sometimes i would get various different errors when i actually tried to burn it . . .
