ImgBurn |
ImgBurn carries on from where DVD Decrypter left off! ImgBurn can write most types of CD/DVD/Blu-ray/BD images and it supports all the latest writers (including booktype / bitsetting on many of the major ones - i.e. BenQ, LiteOn, NEC, Plextor, Sony). Create ISO's from files on your hard disk, or burning them direct to a disc. You can even use ImgBurn to erase / format your rewritable media! Supported image formats: BIN, CDI, CDR, DVD, GCM, GI, IMG, ISO, LST, MDS, NRG, PDI, UDI

2.5.7.0 Released: Thursday 29th March 2012 View full changelog Added: Additional info (service name and driver version for hard disk controllers) to the 'Family Tree' text. Added: 'Supported Read Speeds' for discs to the disc info text. Added: New log entry (when burning DVD-RAM/HD DVD-RAM/BD-RE) showing the current state of the 'Hardware Defect Management' feature on the drive. When active, the drive would 'normally' take longer to burn a disc due to the automatic 'verify after write' process. Added: Option to use the system default language. When an exact match cannot be found (i.e. the correct translation file is missing from the Languages folder), the program will attempt a partial match. Added: Ability to perform LiteOn's SmartErase functions. Added: Show 'MID' in the 'Disc Information' section of the text on the right - easier to find and always available under the same heading. Added: Ability to translate the image/disc size values on the recently added 'Overburn / Truncate' prompt. Added/Changed: When reading Q sub-channel data fails, the program will attempt to read RAW sub-channel data (and deinterleave it to get Q) instead. Added/Changed: Option to include 'Burn using ImgBurn' file association entries in whatever's the default progid of a given file extension - previously, this was done by default. Changed: When renaming an item in the Disc pane of the DLE window (on Vista+), the program will now exclude the file extension from the initially selected text. Changed: Renaming items in the Explorer pane of the DLE window is now also possible via the 'normal' method of a single mouse click on a selected item (rather than just pressing F2). Changed: Default size of I/O Buffer. (Less than 1GB RAM = 20MB, Less than 2GB RAM = 40MB, Everything else = 80MB) Changed: When the drive fails to read a block of sectors in Read/Verify mode, the program will now log the error it returned before attempting to read them one by one (so the original error message doesn't go unreported). Changed: Reverted to using original/basic messagebox for overburn question when in Build/Discovery modes. Changed: Split the DVD/HD DVD/BD Video reading of various files to obtain a volume label into their own options rather than them all using a single one in the DVD Video section. Changed: Tweaked some code that generates the volume label suggestion on DVD/HD DVD/BD Video builds. Changed/Fixed: When CCD image layout file creation is enabled, PreGap sectors will be converted/added to 'Index 0' sectors and included within the IMG file. Changed/Fixed: Workaround for infinite loop issue with some virtual drives caused by incorrect info being returned for the 'READ SUB CHANNEL' command. Changed/Fixed: The autoloader 'Auto Abort On Error' option didn't apply to Read mode. Changed/Fixed: Workaround for buggy (LG) drives that return 'Invalid Field in CDB' rather than 'Invalid Field in Parameter List' in response to a certain command. Fixed: Default Overburning Method always reverts to 'Overburn'. Fixed: Creating MDS files when it shouldn't have been. Fixed: Changing the number of copies required for an image (on the Write Queue window) that was currently being burnt didn't update the value displayed in the progress window. Fixed: Bug parsing the metadata in WAV files. Fixed: Clicking the email link in the about box (and 'ok' on the prompt) didn't fire up default email client as it should have done (it did nothing). Fixed: Problem with long initial file names causing an 'error 0x3002' prompt to be displayed and preventing open/save dialog boxes from opening under XP (and probably older OS's). Fixed: Potential false positive in code that detects BCD within the RAW TOC returned from a CD. Fixed: When reading from an 'Advanced Format' drive with 4k (physical AND logical) sectors, the program could pop up an error (invalid parameter?) at the end of a burn/verify operation. Clicking 'Retry' would allow it to complete successfully though. Fixed: Read/Verify modes weren't exporting graph data to the file name specified via CLI. Fixed: The last digit in a CD's MCN was wrong. Fixed: Potential crash when displaying the 'Overburn' dialog from within Build mode. Fixed: Potential crash when the 'Optimise Duplicate Files' option is enabled.

This is the best software to burn CD's and DVD's in my experience. (I don't have a Blu-ray drive.) I use it mainly to burn DVD movies, after first ripping them with something like DVD Shrink or DVD Fab. I can also verify that it works fine to create/burn medical CT/MRI/Xray ISO images. I've used it to burn ~2,000 discs over the years and coasters are a rarity. Highly recommended. There is an initial learning curve partly because it has many complicated technical settings available. So you may need to consult some user guides to figure out how to use it initially, thereafter it is reasonably intuitive. Thanks for this top-of-the-line freeware from Lightning UK!

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! :)

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.

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
