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

Version history:
2.5.0.0 Released: Sunday 26th July 2009 View entire changelog * Added: An 'Advanced' input mode to build mode where you have total control over the layout of the disc and can add new folders, change names etc. (i.e. you're no longer limited to burning an existing folder structure on your hard disc as-is) * Added: Optional logging when hidden or system files/folders are skipped in Build mode due to the current settings (i.e. when 'Include Hidden Files' or 'Include System Files' are disabled). * Added: Yet another attempt at setting the write speed - this one does it 100% by the book. It fills the fields in the performance descriptor sent via 'SET STREAMING' with the values returned in the descriptor after issuing the 'GET PERFORMANCE' command. (The previous best method of setting the speed missed one field out) * Added: An option (off by default) to enable the enumeration of medium changer devices (this was previously always enabled) on the I/O tab in the Settings. * Added: Support for enumerating medium changer devices via the SPTI 'Device Interface' method too - previously it was always done by 'Device Class'. * Added: The graph data preview in the Settings now uses a default value for media/volume id if one isn't available based on the current media/image file. * Added: Support for another IOCTL for locking the drive - this one (only) appears to work with the 'Device Interface' enumeration method of the SPTI I/O interface ('lock volume' doesn't). * Added: Support for using 'Opti Drive Control' as the IBG viewer when you click the 'Display Graph Data' buttons/menu option. * Added: ImgBurn now adds itself to the context menu's 'Open With' submenu for files it's associated with. * Added: Debug logging to the function that compares the image file/disc layouts. * Added: Option to disable the 'Fix VTS Sectors' function when building a DVD Video disc. * Added: The 'Create DVD File' feature can now make DVD files with the MediaType field set to 'CD'. * Added: Support for saving ...

This is a GREAT tool!! I was about to spend bucks for commercial stuff I really didn't want because there isn't much out there for Vista when I ran across this new version. After one false start (my fault!) I got a great backup to one of the kids annimated movies. So then I tried it on a film I was about to loan out, and after resetting the total size in DVD Shrink, got a copt that I can't tell (for quality) from the original - in less than one hour. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, but watch the total sixe it you are going over 2 hours on a 4.5 gb dvd!! MANY THANKS!!!!!!

This is by far the best program to burn ISO files. It's small, fast and feature-rich, just what I like about software. It's actually difficult to understand why this is freeware although I'm not really complaining about that ;-)

2.4.2.0 is the last version that consistently builds and/or reads from source dvd without cyclonic redundancy error. I can copy and paste without issues from the VIDEO_TS folder, but on the same disc using imgburn (after v2.4.2.0) I get "cyclonic redundancy", so I click "retry" and imgburn will continue... for about a minute and then it pops the error up again. Great software outside of this issue i'm having with the latest versions. Btw, I'm using a BenQ 1640 drive. All versions prior to 2.4.2.0 build without issue... every version since I've had issues with.

ImgBurn is the best disk burning software I ever used, and surprisingly, it's free. Every burn I ever did with ImgBurn was successful, not one coaster. You can create any conceivable kind of disk with ImgBurn, data, music, video, DVD, HD-DVD, Blu-ray, bootable disk, you name it. And it has funny sayings sprinkled throughout the program that will bring a smile to your face. The "write speeds missing text" bug was fixed in version 2.4.4.0.

There seems to be a bug in this version, inasmuch as the available burn speeds are no longer visible. http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=9742

"Holy update Batman!!" The Best keeps getting better.

Ditto what louv68 says. It's the best out there and has been since DVDDecrytor went under. If you are having problems, look at your media or burner or compatibility of the 2. Update your firmware, it's not Imgburn.

To beavis below. You are totally in the minority. This is the Rolls-Royce of DVD burning apps. The fails are either due to something goofed-up in your setup, using cheap discs or a failing burner. I can burn fine on even one of my lowly computers, a 900Mhz Athlon. It burns fine even onto cheap discs. I've turned so many people onto this application, because it just plain works. People who had problems getting playable DVD's with other apps and switched, have had nothing but near 100% results with this awesome tool. Anyone on this forum who is in the know, will agree with me. It burns CD's just fine too. Whatever problem you're having, I assure you it's not ImgBurns fault. It's in my top 10 list of best freeware apps of all time.

iso burns fail approx 3 out of every 4 tries. direct dvd folder to dvd disc function fails everytime, producing a useless, wasted disc. creating an iso image from dvd folder seems to work ok, but takes a very long time to finish. disc verify mode does not work at all. it ALWAYS says the burn was successful, even if it just made a total coaster. disc time reporting is erroneous. overall, i would say this tool rates somewhere between highly unreliable and a total waste of time, effort and blank dvd's. but still better than nero, which messes up the burn every time. at least with this tool you've got a 20 - 25 percent chance you might get something that will play. and its free, so thanks to the developers for a valiant effort at producing a fee disc burning tool. note: i have only tried this software with dvd. i have not tried any cd's. it may do ok with cd's, but certainly lacks reliability in creating dvd's.

When I needed a tool that burns DVD-Video (UDF) from a HDD folder, I was lucky to find that good ole ImgBurn does it in a single click. Just as reliable as it would do a trivial computer file backup on DVD (ISO FS). And you can't beat the price!

As the previous poster stated, there is coding and then there is LUK coding. He can even find room to add his witty comments in a tiny package! I hope he has been made a multi-millionaire thru the donation process.

LUK must be feeling real good knowing that his software is one of the best there is.

Today I used it to copy an audio CD. First I read the audio CD into an image file. ImgBurn created a bin and cue file. The cue file was a standard audio CD cuesheet complete with CD-Text. Then I wrote the image file to CD. This program just gets better and better!

Prior to becoming familiar with Imgburn I didnt think much of it. After thoroughly reading some of the guides on it, I have become more confident in this program. I have burned a few .avi's, DVD folders, and Bin/Cue's, ALL WITHOUT ERROR! Like many others, I was stuck on Nero's Burning Rom specifically for burning, but nooooooooooooow?, It's Good Bye Nero, Helloooooo ImgBurn! Thanks Lightning UK, your work is well appreciated.

This FREE tool is great and works as designed. One of the few free tools worth sending a contribution to for the continued work! With this software, there is no need for any bloat-ware (i.e. Nero,etc).
|

10's across the board, and thanks for a great guide as well. If all freeware were this magnificent the world would be a beautiful place!!

Thanks Lightning UK! What do you do in your spare time? :o) I actually read the entire list of changes for 2.4.0.0 and picked up a few pointers although most of it was over my head. I was then surprised to see ImgBurn open differently with some deference to newbies, so they can select the type of task from a clearly labeled graphic, and the log file also opens automatically. I guess I'm slightly past the newbie hump and don't need that anymore, so went through all of the Settings and changed everything back to "normal", plus added a couple of personal preferences such as opening the disc tray after a Verify. I look forward to giving it a tryout and trust that the behind the scenes burning chores are as reliable as ever, maybe a bit moreso. Cheerio!

Simply put this is the best burning tool you can get. Can't believe it's free!

This software is now THE premiere CD/DVD burning program. The added audio CD functionality with adjustable pre-gaps is just what I was waiting for. Outstanding effort Lightning UK!

A Must Have By far THE BEST BURNING software for intermediate or advanced users I give it a SERF award (Small, Efficient, Robust and it's Free !!) Congratulations and many thanks to developers
