ImgBurn

NEW VERSION 2.5.8.0

NO LONGER DEVELOPED
ImgBurn is a lightweight CD / DVD / HD DVD / Blu-ray burning application that everyone should have in their toolkit! It has several 'Modes', each one for performing a different task: Read - Read a disc to an image file. Build - Create an image file from files on your computer or network - or you can write the files directly to a disc. Write - Write an image file to a disc. Verify - Check a disc is 100% readable. ImgBurn supports a wide range of image file formats - including BIN, CCD, CDI, CUE, DI, DVD, GI, IMG, ISO, MDS, NRG and PDI.

Version history / Release notes / Changelog / What's New


2.5.8.0 Released: Sunday 16th June 2013

Added: Holding the ALT key when clicking on DLE window's Disc pane column header will now remove the sort order (so they're then essentially sorted by addition order).
Added: Ability to incrementally search the Explorer pane in the 'Disc Layout Editor' window.
Added: The effective USB connection speed (1.1, 2.0, 3.0) for USB devices to the initial device scan log entries.
Added: Log entry when burning showing the effective layer break position.
Added: Log entry when burning that shows the number of discs a Lite-On drive thinks it has burnt.
Added: Pioneer drives now list their 'Kernel Version' next to the firmware version.
Added: The Windows 7+ taskbar button/progress display now turns red if an I/O error box pops up during a read/write (etc.) operation.
Added: The ability to set the 'Platform ID' when building a bootable disc - thus enabling the creation of UEFI bootable discs.
Added: Internal version of the 'BurnerMax Payload' code (well, what I could figure out) to allow for overburning DVD+R DL on many MediaTek chipset based drives. In practice, this only seems to work on Lite-On (and clone) drives that have 'Force HyperTuning' enabled.
Added: MSF info to the 'Sector Viewer' tool.
Added: Allow for larger I/O buffer (1GB).
Added: Option to pick the transfer size (32KB -> 512 KB) used when reading / writing files.
Added: Option to enable/disable the OS's buffering when writing image files.
Added: Ability to make the Explorer pane in the DLE window 'Read Only'.
Added: Support for Opus audio compression format.
Added: Support for TAK lossless audio compression format (including embedded CUE sheets).
Added: Ability to use a '*' wildcard for 'backup list' directory entries in an IBB project file (applies to Advanced input mode).
Added: A few keyboard shortcuts to the DLE window. (Ctrl+Shift+C = New Disc (Clear), Ctrl+Shift+D = Add Folder (Directory), Ctrl+Shift+F = Add Files, Ctrl+Shift+N = New Folder)
Changed: No longer bundling/offering the Ask.com toolbar in the setup program, OpenCandy now handles product offerings during installation.
Changed: Buffered I/O is now enabled by default for reading/writing files.
Changed: Update the splashscreen logo.
Changed: The 'Delete' option/button in the Disc Layout Editor has been renamed to 'Remove' so it matches the one in Standard input mode (and so people aren't put off by the term 'Delete' - thinking it'll actually delete the file on their hard drive).
Changed/Fixed: Detect oversized UDF File Entry descriptors and don't attempt to parse them.
Changed/Fixed: Restore 'Disc Layout Editor' window's focus when the application becomes active.
Changed/Fixed: Workaround for the new 16x LG Blu-ray writers that report the wrong (a truncated) current write speed value in the 'GET PERFORMANCE' response when burning at 16x.
Changed/Fixed: Workaround for newer LG drives with the 'Silent Play' feature that seem to ignore attempts to set the read speed via the 'SET STREAMING' command. They get fixed on 1x and won't read any faster!
Changed/Fixed: Attempt to block users from trying to write discs their 'combo' drive doesn't support (i.e. a DVD+RW/BD-ROM combo drive trying to burn BD-R).
Changed/Fixed: Potential errors were being ignored/lost when setting a 'changeable' layer break position to its current/maximum value. The program now reports them.
Changed/Fixed: Tweaked the 'browse for folder/file' dialog code to hopefully stop the OS from throwing up a 'There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive X:.' error when the MRU location is a drive that no longer has a disc in it.
Changed/Fixed: Reworked some commands that could optionally not use 'Immediate I/O'. Old code could fall back to 'Non-Immediate I/O' and loose the initial error message from the 'Immediate I/O' version of the command.
Changed/Fixed: Made an adjustment (potential bug fix) to my drag+drop component's code. It may cut down on crashes / weird things happening as a result of the user having performed a d+d operation.
Changed/Fixed: 'Shutdown Computer' checkboxes should have read 'Shut Down Computer'.
Changed/Fixed: Recently added 'MID' info to was missing from the disc info text in Read / Verify modes.
Fixed: Cosmetic issue displaying numbers when the user's 'thousands separator' is set to nothing.
Fixed: Displaying wrong firmware subversion on newer LG Blu-ray drives (BH14+).
Fixed: Memory leak when burning Audio CDs that use DirectShow for decoding.
Fixed: Memory leak when burning an Audio CDs where the files are already in the correct format for burning (no decode required).
Fixed: Potential access violation when reading a field in a UDF 'File Set Descriptor'.
Fixed: Old (orphaned) AWS related registry/ini file entries were being left behind - this was perfectly fine, it's just nice to keep the place tidy!
Fixed: DLE Window's Disc Toolbar wasn't being resized for higher DPI systems - meaning the buttons weren't fully visible.
Fixed: When outputting Mode2/Form1/2352 from Build mode, the program didn't take into account any additional data type conversion required for the drive - this could produce a corrupt disc.

All features


Optionally, you can also have ImgBurn compare it against a given image file to ensure the actual data is correct. Discovery - Put your drive / media to the test! Used in combination with DVDInfoPro, you can check the quality of the burns your drive is producing
advertisement

ImgBurn supports a wide range of image file formats - including BIN, CCD, CDI, CUE, DI, DVD, GI, IMG, ISO, MDS, NRG and PDI.

It can burn Audio CD's from any file type supported via DirectShow / ACM - including AAC, APE, FLAC, M4A, MP3, MP4, MPC, OGG, PCM, WAV, WMA and WV.

You can use it to build DVD Video discs (from a VIDEO_TS folder), HD DVD Video discs (from a HVDVD_TS folder) and Blu-ray Video discs (from a BDAV / BDMV folder) with ease.

It supports Unicode folder/file names, so you shouldn't run in to any problems if you're using an international character set.

ImgBurn supports all the Microsoft Windows OS's - Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT4, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows 2003, Windows Vista, Windows 2008, Windows 7 and Windows 8 (including all the 64-bit versions). If you use Wine, it should also run on Linux and other x86-based Unixes.

It's a very flexible application with several advanced features that are often lacking in other tools, especially when it comes to burning DVD Video discs. It supports all the latest drives without the need for updates (including booktype / bitsetting / advanced settings on many of the major ones - i.e. BenQ, LiteOn, LG, NEC, Optiarc, Pioneer, Plextor, Samsung, Sony).

There is an image queue system for when you're burning several images (which you can automatically share between multiple drives if you have more than one) and an easy-to-use layer break selection screen for double layer DVD Video jobs. The Automatic Write Speed feature allows you store your favourite burn speed settings on a per 'Media ID' basis, right down to a drive by drive level. Data captured during the burn (write speed, buffer levels etc) can be displayed / analysed using DVDInfoPro.

Whilst ImgBurn is designed to work perfectly straight out of the box, advanced users will appreciate just how configurable it is.

The software is great, It did, not does great job burning, creating ISO's.
Huge problem is, that the latest version was released 13 yeas ago and although still works 80% on windows 10, it does have some cosmetic and functionality issues.

Biggest issue and p be "ADVISED the website is not been run by the legitimate Lightning UK! he wouldn't neglect his software for 13 years and wouldn't update, that just doesn't make sense whatsoever, yet forum still functions and why?

I would advise not to either register or login, its a scam forum.


Review by Marus on Apr 2, 2022 Version: 2.5.8.0 OS: Windows 10 64-bit Ease of use: -/10 Functionality: -/10 Value for money: -/10 Overall: 5/10




Simply the best all-around burning software available. this works on Linux (I use Linux Mint v20.3-Xfce) as I suggest setting it up through PlayOnLinux (sudo apt install playonlinux) with Wine v6.0.1 (x86(32bit) or amd64(64bit) works, but I suggest x86 since it saves a bit of hard drive space).

NOTE: Wine must be set to Windows XP mode for ImgBurn to work as Wine defaults to Windows 7 mode as if you try to start ImgBurn with Wine in Windows 7 mode, ImgBurn will hang at the splash screen and simply won't work!

NOTE: if you are running Wine v5 series or newer (currently Wine v7 series is the newest) for ImgBurn to see your CD/DVD etc burners you have to do the following in ImgBurn... 'Tools > Settings > I/O' and select 'SPTI - Microsoft' and select 'Device Interface' or 'Drive Letter' and now ImgBurn will see your CD/DVD burners and work as expected. but if your using Wine v4 or older, ImgBurn will see your CD/DVD etc burners in it's default ASPI mode (although you can still use SPTI mode if you want to). but I suggest running ImgBurn on Wine v6.0.1 (or at least Wine v6 series) as it works okay with trimmed WAV files (using Audacity or Ocenaudio) for burning a standard audio CD which using Wine v4 series has problems which are related to 'Direct Show' as this does not occur when using Wine v5 or Wine v6 series (which is ultimately why I suggest using Wine v6.0.1 through PlayOnLinux as it does not have a problem). but standard WAV files (I simply convert my standard FLAC files to WAV, using Foobar2000, so ImgBurn can use them) will likely work okay on pretty much any version of Wine.

if your using PlayOnLinux you can setup everything through the GUI (graphic user interface) with the exception of running the initial 'sudo apt install playonlinux' from the terminal, which gets PlayOnLinux installed. so this should be 'easy enough' for someone running Linux to setup.

NOTE: another bonus with ImgBurn is that it actually supports overburning on audio CD's (not all CD/DVD burners will support this but I suspect most probably do as 4 out of the 5 burners I got support overburning audio CD's). so instead of being able to fit 80 minutes on a standard 700MB/80min CD-R, you can probably get about 81 minutes, or almost certainly at least 80min30sec.

The best software!

Yesterday and more over today with larger capacity Discs the need for writing multi-session, multi-session or multi session discs is what we need. To be able to add folders and or files to the same disc later in a new session whenever we need to.


This probably is the reason why the developer stopped coding and updating ImgBurn.
