ImgBurn |
ImgBurn carries on from where DVD Decrypter left off!

Version history:
2.5.6.0 Released: Tuesday 4th October 2011 View full changelog Added: Option to truncate image (not physically!) when burning to a smaller disc rather than always attempting to overburn. Added: New 'Create BDMV Folders' option to the Blu-ray Video options in Build mode. This ensures the BDMV folder contains all the basic folders required for successful playback in PowerDVD. Added: New 'Clear Bin Status' button to the Auto Loader Control window. This only applies to Generic auto loaders and tells them to revert to using the first lot of input/output bins. Added: Workaround for autoloaders that don't report an error when the input bin is empty and cause the program to keep loading and unloading non-existent media as part of a batch mode read/queued write operation. Added: Option to log skipped 'non archive' files/folders in Build mode - files without their 'archive' attribute set (this is nothing to do with zip, rar files etc. !). Added: Workaround for Wine bug #22079 - http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22079 Added: Workaround for Wine bug #27559 - http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27559 Added: 'Show Interleaved Cells' option that makes the program include interleaved cells in the 'create/select layer break position' dialog. Added: Filtering of '.miniso', 'desktop.ini' and a few 'thumbnail cache' type files when building DVD Audio or DVD/HD DVD/BD Video discs. Added: The 'Device Capabilities' window now also shows if 'Binding Nonce Generation' and 'Bus Encryption Capable' features are supported. Added: Detection of Wine version being used - now displayed next to the normal OS info in the log window. Added: Workaround for Wine bug #27470 - http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27470 Added: Support for building '.miniso' image files ( http://www.dvdfab.com/miniso.htm ) - used by DVDFab Virtual Drive. Added: Option to not show the 'Test mode not/might not be support' warning message. Added: Remember and restore the MRU source path (when adding/browsing for files) in the 'Create CUE/DVD/MDS File' windows. Added: Prompt when the user may have made an error by enabling the 'Patch Boot Information Table' option when using a boot image that's over 1MB in size. Added: Option to control the 'retry for remaining copies' / 'try burning image again before trying next image' prompts. Added: Pressing the 'Enter' key in the Disc/Files box the Disc Layout Editor window will now navigate to the first selected child folder. Added: Basic detection of an attempt to build an MP3 Audio disc (along the same lines as the existing DivX detection but with *.mp3 files rather than *.avi). Added: An extra 'underburning' prompt when burning a BD-R sized image to a BD-R DL/TL/QL disc (and a BD-R DL sized image to a BD-R TL disc etc.). Added: Support for detecting BDXL capabilities in a drive. Added: Support for some 'Generic' auto loaders that use a COM port for robot communications. Added: Prompt for the user to select an Auto Loader's 'Associated Drives' if none could be detected automatically. Added: Prompt when the user may have made an error by enabling the 'Patch Boot Information Table' option when building a Vista/Windows 7/Windows 2008 bootable installation disc (i.e. using an 'ETFSBOOT.COM' boot image). Added: An extra 'underburning' prompt when burning a DVD sized image (non BD Video) to a BD-R disc. Added: You can now double click a 'Destination File:' or 'Source File:' log entry (whilst holding down the CTRL key) to open up its containing folder in Explorer. Added: Prompt when the user may have made an error in the 'Sectors To Load' field when building a Vista/Windows 7/Windows 2008 bootable installation disc. (Should be 4 for a 2KB ETFSBOOT.COM file and 8 for a 4KB one) Added: Option to log skipped 'filtered' files/folders in Build mode - i.e. from within folders like the VIDEO_TS one where only IFO/BUP/VOB files are allowed. Added: Feature to display the 'Family Tree' of a device - i.e. which controller it's connected to. Added: Support for detecting the Cyberlink UDF 2.50+ filter driver on Windows XP systems - and thus not displaying the warning about a UDF 2.50+ formatted disc potentially being unreadable. Added: Workaround for (proper) Pioneer burners not reporting the % complete of a background DVD+RW format. Added: Option to make the program wait longer for the drive (in an auto/embedded/medium changer) to become ready when doing a 'Batch Mode' Read. Option is enabled by default and makes the program wait 5 minutes rather than 5 seconds. Added: Support for reading metadata (tags) from M4A music files - which can then be used by CUE sheets to create CD-TEXT info. Added: When suggesting a volume label for a BD Video image/disc, the program will now read the disc name specified in the 'BDMVMETADLbdmt_eng.xml' file. Added: When extracting a boot image, ensure the source and destination aren't the same. Added: When extracting a boot image, check for sufficient disk space before starting. Added: The ability to format BD-R and enable spare areas (defect management). When using BD-R with spare area, you should disable the 'BD-R Verify Not Required' option otherwise the whole thing is a bit pointless! Added/Changed: Prevent Read mode from being used to create (useless) image files of multi-session/track DVD/HD DVD/Blu-ray discs and suggest using Build mode to create a new image based on the contents of the disc instead. Added/Changed: Tooltip for the 'Free Space' label (Build mode, Information tab) now displays the free space info for previous, current and next 'min required media' formats. Added/Changed: Log entry related to supported write speeds. Added/Changed: The initial drive scan results in the Log window now show the full firmware version for LG (HL-DT-ST) drives. (e.g. '1.00-A9' rather than just '1.00') Changed: Updated bundled Ask toolbar to latest version (1.13.1.0). Changed: Made a few tweaks to the 'VirtualTreeView' component code when painting with (Vista+) themes enabled. Changed: The 'Reset Copy Permission Indicator Flag' feature now automatically disables itself if the compilation includes an 'AACS_bd' or 'AACS_mv' folder in the root. Previously it only did so if an 'AACS' folder was present. Changed: When using the '/FILESYSTEMONLY' switch, the program now also includes anything that would normally come after the file data (i.e. mirror metadata partition or UDF anchors) in the output file. Changed: Tweak for detecting conflicting 'preserve full pathnames' setting when attempting to build certain types of images/discs. Changed: Renamed 'Test Mode' warning option to 'Test Mode Enabled'. Changed: Workaround for the TDateTimePicker control (used in Build mode for custom volume/file/folder dates) not displaying the current value properly under Wine (tested in Ubuntu 11.04 with Wine 1.3.20). Changed: Tweak for detecting BD Video builds (where it may previously have treated it as a standard 'data' build or prompted the user) Changed: Tweak for detecting DVD Video builds (where it may previously have treated it as a standard 'data' build). Changed: The red 'Cancel' button (image) shown on the progress screens now has a 'hot' image so it's more obvious it does something. Changed/Fixed: Build mode's 'Advanced' output mode will now check for and remove the destination image file from the list of source files. This was already being done in 'Standard' output mode. Changed/Fixed: The DLE window wouldn't restore the Explorer pane's previous selection if it wasn't a file system object - i.e. so it wouldn't restore the selection to '(My) Computer' having closed and reopened the window, but it would restore it to something like 'C:'. Changed/Fixed: Made the 'Patch Boot Information Table' option only available when 'Emulation Type' is set to 'None (Custom)'. Fixed: Potential crash when attempting to parse a certain UDF descriptor. Fixed: When reading a multi-session/track DVD/HD DVD/ Blu-ray disc to an image file, the program would re-read from the start of the disc for each track (leading to an inflated image). Fixed: Added a short pause after setting the read/verify speed so drives can respond to the request. (Workaround for bug in LG BD BH10/BH12 writer firmware that makes them read at 2x) Fixed: Unable to save an *Ansi* format 'text' file (CUE, MD5, LOG etc.) when the file name contained Unicode characters. Fixed: The 'Sort Files By Source List Order' option of Build mode wasn't working when using Advanced input mode. Fixed: The 'Retry' option when attempting to Unload/Reject a disc from a Vinpower/Generic autoloader didn't work. Fixed: Synchronisation of options between modes during program initialisation could cause some incorrect values to be restored. Fixed: Potential access violation when accessing a certain storage descriptor as the program starts up. Fixed: Problem that could cause the 'there are still some queued up images' box to pop up twice when the program has been told to close itself. Fixed: Problem that could cause an error box ('Reached End Of File') to pop up just before the burn starts when checking to see if an image file contained BD Video data. Fixed: The log window would jump to the wrong location when restoring the application (having previously minimised it) if the Taskbar was located at the side of the screen (rather than top / bottom). Fixed: Clicking the red 'Cancel button (image) shown on the progress screens didn't provide any sort of feedback if the program was already cancelling due to an error. Fixed: Error attempting to close the track when burning a multi track image (i.e. Audio CD) using the TAO write type. Fixed: Couldn't perform Redo (via CTRL+Y) or Undo (via CTRL+Z) in the ISO9660 volume label boxes, they just caused the 'Unacceptable Character' balloon to pop up. Fixed: Attempt at a workaround for an issue someone was having where the main window ended up being smaller than the components it contained (so some controls got cut of...

What an extremely capable and reliable program. The only wish I had was that there was the ability to save a configuration file of settings so that when the program is updated (which the author should be complimented on), one doesn't have to redo this each time. If this ability is there somewhere, I missed it.

One of the best writers for free in my opinion. ImgBurn allows you to make a copy of discs from the video_ts folder and ISO image. It can create ISO images from files, and I found the GUI easy to use. Thankyou authors for the wonderful tool!
|
|||||||||||||||
Simply THE BEST there is....hands down. Thank You LightningUK for all that you do. And for you newbies...ImgBurn burns MUCH more than just images. It creates data discs, audio CDs(from various formats like MP3, WAV etc etc) and is the best at burning VIDEO_TS folders for DVD Video. It is all you will ever need.

Best for the price, and even beats programs people are charging for. I did notice after the upgrade to 2.5.3.0 when selecting to add a series of images, it only takes the last 5 on the list. You can still add more, but you have to click the add button again to keep the list growing.

TiNy and RoBust. Probably the best image burner and much more. Just repeating Splash Screen "The ULTIMATE" in the class of it's own. Thanks to Author for update and.., keeping it FREE! :)

Maybe the best CD/DVD write software. A must have tool. Thanks to Lightning UK for this superb tool!

Ease of use = 1 because the program is set up as default to ask tons of questions to the user, instead of remembering what you answered the first time around and you have to adjust settings or the program will annoy the hell out of you. Once the program is set up, it is fantastic and really is the only tool you need to burn various cds and dvds. Highly recommended (just set it up first)

I downloaded 2.5.1.0 from one of the mirrors first then read somewhere that only the version direct from ImgBurn website was correct. I hadn't installed it yet, so I downloaded the ImgBurn website version and installed it. I can't see any difference from the former 2.5.0.0 version offhand. The installer offered a new Ask toolbar option, apparently as the default. I unchecked it and it wasn't installed, apparently. I suppose everything is correct now but the confusion causes some lingering doubt. Time will tell if it works OK, but I expect it will.
|
|||||||||||||||
I've read that the Ask toolbar is still selected by default.
|
|||||||||||||||
I've been informed that the local download has been updated to match the re-released 2.5.1.0. The re-released version defaults to the Uniblue shortcuts being disabled within the installer and (assuming the option stays like that) the options in the Tools menu (which ran the programs if installed, or launched an URL if not) have gone. ImgBurn itself is therefore back to the way it's always been - only hopefully better as I've added, changed and fixed a bunch of stuff since 2.5.0.0! I sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused, that was obviously not my intention. /me slaps own wrist :(

Installing it, I deactivated the toolbar and all shortcuts. After installing I found 3 empty icons on the desktop. Just the icon image, ImgBurn Title - but without a link to anything. Making a new shortcut from .exe changed one of the 3 empty icons - to only 2 empties, giving one of them the link to exe. After deleting this icon - it stayed there, once again empty. (--This is not a valid shortcut--) Never happened before with ImgBurn - something strange was changed in this version. Installed 2.5 again - and no problems at all. Running XP SP3

2.74MB (installed) isn't bloatware. ImgBurn is still the same. The download size difference between this version and the last is the optional toolbar.
|
|||||||||||||||
Sadly the latest version is full of bloatware. Stick with an older version, DO NOT "upgrade".

One of the best, if not the best image burning programs out there. I liked DVD Decrypter and love this program. Works every time. I've never had a bad disc burned by this program.

What can one say.... Anyone with the slightest amount of knowledge or Experience knows how great this software is!! This does not including the clueless people that post crap!!

I can't hold my self, i want to vote, again... I would vote: 1."Ease of use" = 1 Because i don't like other people (specially machines) to correct my mistakes, and i hate this sense of humor, anyway! 2."Functionality" = 1 Because i don't like the AVCHD movies i made! 3."Value for money " = 1 Because this piece of shit didn't give me one month trial to try it first! 4."Overall score" = 1 Because [(1+1+1)/3]=1 But, i will not! Because my mother and my school learned me to say: Thank you!

I think this guy "angel40204" have to apologize to the Author making a new comment.And one suggestion to Him (Or Her)before writing stupid comments read some history of the software, read previous comments(68) and look "visually" on your media brand. Back in time We All remember DVD Decrypter euphoria before even DVD Shrink was born. Thank You Lighning UK! BTW my name is Angel too. What A shame ha, ha, ha!

I give Value for Money a 1 because this is free software. This tool is made by the same guy who made DVD Decrypter and MakeMKV, you can tell by the GUI. I have been using this tool since the first release. I do not use BluRay yet so I've only burnt CDs, DVDs, and DVD DLs. Audio CDs, Data DVDs, Video DVDs. The only time I ever got a coaster was when I chose the wrong burn speed for the type of physical media I was using. The only thing I would like to see ImgBurn have is a filesize bar somewhere that lets you know when you cannot add anymore to the DVD. Other than that, I am very happy with this program. I love the humor quotes that randomly generate each time you open the program. This guy sat down, got creative and took his time. This is something I wish all developers did. Even though I do not wear hats, mine goes off to this guy. Better than my shirt or pants! LOL

Don't know what Angels talking about, been using imgburn since its first release, its well known as one of the best pieces of software avaliable. I've burnt dozens of BD-r / Bd-re discs by several manufactures including Traxdata and Sony with NO failures to date and they all perform perfectly on a number of BD players. Anyway if it takes 60+ bad burns for someone to decided there might be a problem..!!..WELL what can i say.... lol Instead of blaming the software, i think he should look closer to home for the problem.

Sounds like Angel needs to spend some time learning all the great features of FAB and then spend some cash for decent media. I have published close to 20 optical drive reviews and several burning software reviews and I do know and understand the problems with poor media. LUK has given us the best burning software available and it is free. To be wrongly criticized by an unknowing NOOB is just plain wrong. KIPPER

Angel: You're a moron. This is a free tool that has a 9.2 rating with 70 people that includes you dragging it down. So I guess 69 people are wrong and you are right. And you have the balls to say this is based on you using Traxdata media... I've got nothing else to say except, Unbelievable.

|||||||||||||||
To the previous trasher of this program - Perhaps you should invest in some REAL media. I've been using ImgBurn since I got my pioneer burner just under a year ago, with Verbatim, TDK, or Ridata media, only one coaster (unfortunately on a DL disc), all else was good and high quality. ImgBurn does what it's supposed to, and it's free?? This is a Godsend.

this is for all bd-r users . imgburn suck big time . tried with 60 traxdata all corrupted . was checking visually first fast and look okay , but with nero speed 5. all are damaged more or less . then check them visually again where the damage was , and they froze or started over. i then tried sony bd-r with imgburn and after successful writing of the bd-r according to imgburn , i then visually played it and also checked for errors as well. froze on the last movie mkv file and showed error damaged or corruption if you prefer . burned them under write file/data i used 2. 0 udf and 2.5 . also few months later , half of the written bd-r would not be recognized anymore by the drive . i switched to nero and 0 errors with 30 bd-r 3 different brands. also imgburn let me write a conbination of mkv files as nero wouldn't because 0f 200 mb over the limit . that tells you about free . maybe good for dvds . but at the cost of bd-r . you do the math . conclusion . stay away for this one or take a chance and be lucky
