ImgBurn is a lightweight CD / DVD / Hard disk DVD / Blu-ray burning awarding. Information technology has several 'Modes', each one for performing a unlike 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 direct to a disc
  • Write - Write an image file to a disc
  • Verify - Check a disc is 100% readable. Optionally, you lot tin 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 exam! Used in combination with DVDInfoPro, you 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. It tin can burn Sound CD's from any file blazon supported via DirectShow / ACM - including AAC, APE, FLAC, M4A, MP3, MP4, MPC, OGG, PCM, WAV, WMA and WV.

Y'all tin utilise it to build DVD Video discs (from a VIDEOTS folder), Hard disk DVD Video discs (from a HVDVDTS folder) and Blu-ray Video discs (from a BDAV / BDMV folder) with ease. It supports Unicode folder/file names, and so yous shouldn't run in to any problems if you're using an international character set.

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

It'due south a very flexible application with several advanced features that are often lacking in other tools, especially when it comes to burning DVD Video discs. Information technology 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, Plextor, Samsung, Sony).

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

Oh and let'southward not forget the best matter about information technology.... information technology'southward 100% Free ;-)

What'southward New:

  • Added: Property the ALT key when clicking on DLE window's Disc pane column header will now remove the sort order (and so they're and then essentially sorted by addition order).
  • Added: Ability to incrementally search the Explorer pane in the 'Disc Layout Editor' window.
  • Added: The effective USB connectedness speed (i.i, 2.0, three.0) for USB devices to the initial device scan log entries.
  • Added: Log entry when burning showing the effective layer intermission 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 push 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 permit for overburning DVD+R DL on many MediaTek chipset based drives. In practice, this simply seems to work on Lite-On (and clone) drives that have 'Forcefulness HyperTuning' enabled.
  • Added: MSF info to the 'Sector Viewer' tool.
  • Added: Allow for larger I/O buffer (1GB).
  • Added: Option to choice 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 brand the Explorer pane in the DLE window 'Read Only'.
  • Added: Support for Opus sound pinch format.
  • Added: Support for TAK lossless sound pinch 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 (Articulate), Ctrl+Shift+D = Add Folder (Directory), Ctrl+Shift+F = Add Files, Ctrl+Shift+Due north = New Folder)
  • Changed: No longer bundling/offering the Ask.com toolbar in the setup plan, OpenCandy now handles product offerings during installation.
  • Inverse: Buffered I/O is at present enabled past 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' then it matches the one in Standard input mode (and and then people aren't put off by the term 'Delete' - thinking information technology'll actually delete the file on their hard drive).
  • Changed/Fixed: Discover oversized UDF File Entry descriptors and don't endeavour to parse them.
  • Inverse/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) electric current write speed value in the 'Go PERFORMANCE' response when called-for at 16x.
  • Changed/Stock-still: Workaround for newer LG drives with the 'Silent Play' feature that seem to ignore attempts to set the read speed via the 'Gear up STREAMING' control. They go fixed on 1x and won't read any faster!
  • Changed/Stock-still: Attempt to block users from trying to write discs their 'combo' drive doesn't support (i.eastward. a DVD+RW/BD-ROM philharmonic drive trying to burn BD-R).
  • Inverse/Stock-still: Potential errors were being ignored/lost when setting a 'changeable' layer break position to its current/maximum value. The program now reports them.
  • Changed/Stock-still: Tweaked the 'browse for folder/file' dialog lawmaking to hopefully finish the Os from throwing upward a 'At that place is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive X:.' error when the MRU location is a bulldoze that no longer has a disc in information technology.
  • Inverse/Fixed: Reworked some commands that could optionally not use 'Immediate I/O'. Old lawmaking could fall dorsum 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+driblet component'southward code. It may cut downwardly on crashes / weird things happening equally a issue of the user having performed a d+d operation.
  • Changed/Fixed: 'Shutdown Computer' checkboxes should accept read 'Shut Downward Computer'.
  • Changed/Stock-still: Recently added 'MID' info to was missing from the disc info text in Read / Verify modes.
  • Fixed: Cosmetic outcome displaying numbers when the user's 'thousands separator' is set to nothing.
  • Fixed: Displaying incorrect firmware subversion on newer LG Blu-ray drives (BH14+).
  • Fixed: Memory leak when called-for Audio CDs that utilise DirectShow for decoding.
  • Fixed: Retentivity leak when called-for an Audio CDs where the files are already in the correct format for called-for (no decode required).
  • Stock-still: Potential access violation when reading a field in a UDF 'File Prepare Descriptor'.
  • Stock-still: Erstwhile (orphaned) AWS related registry/ini file entries were being left behind - this was perfectly fine, it'southward just nice to keep the place tidy!
  • Fixed: DLE Window'due south 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 way, the program didn't take into business relationship any additional data blazon conversion required for the bulldoze - this could produce a corrupt disc.
