ImgBurn is a lightweight CD / DVD / HD 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 yous can write the files directly to a disc
  • Write - Write an image file to a disc
  • Verify - Check a disc is 100% readable. Optionally, you lot tin also take ImgBurn compare it confronting a given paradigm file to ensure the bodily information is correct
  • Discovery - Put your bulldoze / media to the test! Used in combination with DVDInfoPro, you can check the quality of the burns your drive is producing.

ImgBurn supports a broad range of paradigm file formats - including BIN, CUE, DI, DVD, GI, IMG, ISO, MDS, NRG and PDI. It can burn Audio CD's from whatsoever file type supported via DirectShow / ACM - including AAC, APE, FLAC, M4A, MP3, MP4, MPC, OGG, PCM, WAV, WMA and WV.

You tin can utilize it to build DVD Video discs (from a VIDEOTS binder), HD 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, so y'all shouldn't run in to any problems if you're using an international character set.

ImgBurn supports all the Windows Os's - Windows 95, 98, Me, NT4, 2000, XP, 2003, Vista, 2008 and vii (including all the 64-chip versions). If y'all use Wine, it should also run on Linux and other x86-based Unixes.

It's a very flexible awarding with several advanced features that are often lacking in other tools, especially when it comes to called-for 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 prototype queue system for when you're burning several images (which you can automatically share between multiple drives if y'all have more than one) and an piece of cake-to-utilize layer pause selection screen for double layer DVD Video jobs. The Automatic Write Speed feature allows y'all shop your favourite burn down 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 exist displayed / analysed using DVDInfoPro.

Whilst ImgBurn is designed to work perfectly direct out of the box, advanced users volition capeesh merely how configurable it is.

Oh and allow'southward not forget the best thing about it.... it'south 100% Free ;-)

What's New:

  • Added: Holding the ALT key when clicking on DLE window's Disc pane cavalcade header will now remove the sort order (so they're and then essentially sorted past addition club).
  • Added: Ability to incrementally search the Explorer pane in the 'Disc Layout Editor' window.
  • Added: The effective USB connection speed (ane.one, ii.0, 3.0) for USB devices to the initial device scan log entries.
  • Added: Log entry when burning showing the constructive layer break position.
  • Added: Log entry when called-for 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 brandish now turns red if an I/O fault box pops up during a read/write (etc.) performance.
  • Added: The ability 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 permit for overburning DVD+R DL on many MediaTek chipset based drives. In practice, this only seems to work on Light-On (and clone) drives that have 'Strength HyperTuning' enabled.
  • Added: MSF info to the 'Sector Viewer' tool.
  • Added: Allow for larger I/O buffer (1GB).
  • Added: Selection to pick the transfer size (32KB -> 512 KB) used when reading / writing files.
  • Added: Pick to enable/disable the Bone'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 utilise a '*' wildcard for 'fill-in list' directory entries in an IBB project file (applies to Advanced input style).
  • Added: A few keyboard shortcuts to the DLE window. (Ctrl+Shift+C = New Disc (Clear), Ctrl+Shift+D = Add together Folder (Directory), Ctrl+Shift+F = Add together Files, Ctrl+Shift+Northward = New Binder)
  • Changed: No longer bundling/offering the Inquire.com toolbar in the setup plan, 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/push in the Disc Layout Editor has been renamed to 'Remove' so it matches the ane in Standard input way (and so people aren't put off by the term 'Delete' - thinking it'll actually delete the file on their hard drive).
  • Changed/Fixed: Notice 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.
  • Inverse/Stock-still: Workaround for the new 16x LG Blu-ray writers that study 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 'Fix STREAMING' command. They get 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 back up (i.e. a DVD+RW/BD-ROM combo drive trying to burn BD-R).
  • Inverse/Fixed: Potential errors were beingness ignored/lost when setting a 'changeable' layer break position to its electric current/maximum value. The program now reports them.
  • Inverse/Fixed: Tweaked the 'scan for folder/file' dialog lawmaking to hopefully stop the Bone from throwing up a 'There is no deejay in the bulldoze. Please insert a disk into bulldoze X:.' error when the MRU location is a drive that no longer has a disc in it.
  • Inverse/Fixed: Reworked some commands that could optionally not employ 'Immediate I/O'. Old code could fall back to 'Non-Immediate I/O' and loose the initial fault bulletin from the 'Immediate I/O' version of the command.
  • Inverse/Stock-still: Fabricated an adjustment (potential bug ready) to my elevate+driblet component's lawmaking. Information technology may cut down on crashes / weird things happening every bit a event of the user having performed a d+d functioning.
  • Inverse/Fixed: 'Shutdown Computer' checkboxes should have read 'Close Downward Computer'.
  • Changed/Fixed: Recently added 'MID' info to was missing from the disc info text in Read / Verify modes.
  • Stock-still: Corrective issue displaying numbers when the user'due south 'thousands separator' is prepare to aught.
  • Fixed: Displaying wrong firmware subversion on newer LG Blu-ray drives (BH14+).
  • Stock-still: 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 right format for burning (no decode required).
  • Fixed: Potential admission violation when reading a field in a UDF 'File Prepare Descriptor'.
  • Fixed: Old (orphaned) AWS related registry/ini file entries were being left behind - this was perfectly fine, it'due south but nice to go along the place tidy!
  • Fixed: DLE Window'southward Disc Toolbar wasn't existence 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 any additional information blazon conversion required for the drive - this could produce a corrupt disc.
