ImgBurn is a lightweight CD / DVD / Hd DVD / Blu-ray burning awarding. It has several 'Modes', each i for performing a dissimilar task:

  • Read - Read a disc to an epitome file
  • Build - Create an image file from files on your computer or network - or y'all can write the files straight to a disc
  • Write - Write an image file to a disc
  • Verify - Check a disc is 100% readable. Optionally, you can too have ImgBurn compare it against a given paradigm file to ensure the actual data is correct
  • Discovery - Put your drive / media to the examination! Used in combination with DVDInfoPro, you tin can check the quality of the burns your drive is producing.

ImgBurn supports a wide range of paradigm file formats - including BIN, CUE, DI, DVD, GI, IMG, ISO, MDS, NRG and PDI. Information technology tin can burn Audio CD'due south from whatsoever 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 VIDEOTS binder), HD DVD Video discs (from a HVDVDTS binder) and Blu-ray Video discs (from a BDAV / BDMV folder) with ease. It supports Unicode folder/file names, so yous shouldn't run in to any issues if you're using an international character gear up.

ImgBurn supports all the Windows OS's - Windows 95, 98, Me, NT4, 2000, XP, 2003, Vista, 2008 and 7 (including all the 64-chip versions). If you employ Vino, it should as well 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 information technology comes to burning DVD Video discs. It supports all the latest drives without the demand for updates (including booktype / bitsetting / advanced settings on many of the major ones - i.e. BenQ, LiteOn, LG, NEC, Plextor, Samsung, Sony).

There is an image queue organisation for when y'all're burning several images (which you can automatically share between multiple drives if you have more than one) and an piece of cake-to-use layer break selection screen for double layer DVD Video jobs. The Automatic Write Speed characteristic allows y'all store your favourite burn speed settings on a per 'Media ID' basis, correct down to a bulldoze 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 capeesh just how configurable it is.

Oh and let's not forget the best thing about information technology.... it'southward 100% Costless ;-)

What's New:

  • Added: Property the ALT fundamental when clicking on DLE window's Disc pane column header volition now remove the sort society (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, two.0, 3.0) for USB devices to the initial device scan log entries.
  • Added: Log entry when burning showing the effective layer interruption position.
  • Added: Log entry when burning that shows the number of discs a Light-On drive thinks it has burnt.
  • Added: Pioneer drives at present list their 'Kernel Version' next to the firmware version.
  • Added: The Windows 7+ taskbar push button/progress display now turns blood-red if an I/O error box pops up during a read/write (etc.) operation.
  • Added: The power to set the 'Platform ID' when building a bootable disc - thus enabling the cosmos of UEFI bootable discs.
  • Added: Internal version of the 'BurnerMax Payload' lawmaking (well, what I could figure out) to allow for overburning DVD+R DL on many MediaTek chipset based drives. In do, this merely seems to work on Low-cal-On (and clone) drives that have 'Force HyperTuning' enabled.
  • Added: MSF info to the 'Sector Viewer' tool.
  • Added: Let for larger I/O buffer (1GB).
  • Added: Choice to pick the transfer size (32KB -> 512 KB) used when reading / writing files.
  • Added: Option to enable/disable the OS'south buffering when writing image files.
  • Added: Ability to make the Explorer pane in the DLE window 'Read Simply'.
  • Added: Support for Opus audio pinch 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 projection 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+Due north = New Folder)
  • Changed: No longer bundling/offering the Enquire.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.
  • Inverse: The 'Delete' option/button in the Disc Layout Editor has been renamed to 'Remove' so it matches the one in Standard input style (and so people aren't put off past the term 'Delete' - thinking information technology'll actually delete the file on their hard bulldoze).
  • Changed/Stock-still: Find oversized UDF File Entry descriptors and don't attempt to parse them.
  • Changed/Stock-still: 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 'Become 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 go fixed on 1x and won't read any faster!
  • Changed/Fixed: Endeavor 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).
  • Inverse/Stock-still: Potential errors were being ignored/lost when setting a 'changeable' layer pause position to its current/maximum value. The program at present reports them.
  • Changed/Stock-still: Tweaked the 'browse for folder/file' dialog lawmaking to hopefully stop the OS from throwing up a 'There is no deejay in the drive. Delight insert a deejay into bulldoze Ten:.' mistake 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 lawmaking could fall back to 'Non-Immediate I/O' and loose the initial error bulletin from the 'Immediate I/O' version of the control.
  • Changed/Fixed: Made an adjustment (potential bug fix) to my drag+drop component'south code. It may cutting down on crashes / weird things happening as a consequence of the user having performed a d+d performance.
  • Changed/Fixed: 'Shutdown Reckoner' checkboxes should have read 'Shut Down Figurer'.
  • Inverse/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 zilch.
  • Fixed: Displaying wrong firmware subversion on newer LG Blu-ray drives (BH14+).
  • Fixed: Retention leak when burning Sound CDs that use DirectShow for decoding.
  • Fixed: Memory leak when called-for an Audio CDs where the files are already in the right 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'southward just nice to keep the identify tidy!
  • Stock-still: DLE Window'due south Disc Toolbar wasn't being resized for college 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 whatsoever additional data type conversion required for the bulldoze - this could produce a corrupt disc.
