ImgBurn is a lightweight CD / DVD / HD DVD / Blu-ray Burning Software that everybody ought to have in their toolkit! ImgBurn supports a variety of image file formats – together with BIN, CUE, DI, DVD, GI, IMG, ISO, MDS, NRG, and PDI.
It supports Unicode folder/file names so you shouldn’t run into any issues when you use a global character set. It’s a versatile application software with several advanced features which might be typically missing in other tools, particularly about burning DVD Video discs.
It supports all the newest drives without the necessity for updates (together with booktype / bitsetting / advanced settings on most of the main ones – i.e. BenQ, LiteOn, LG, NEC, Plextor, Samsung, Sony).
There is an image queue system for whenever you’re burning several images (which you’ll be able to automatically share between multiple drives when you have more than one) and a simple-to-use layer break selection screen for double-layer DVD Video jobs.
The Automatic Write Speed feature allows you to store your favorite burn speed settings on a per ‘Media ID’ foundation, proper down to a drive-by drive stage. Data captured through the burn (write speed, buffer ranges, etc) could be displayed/ analyzed using DVDInfoPro.
ImgBurn works in several Modes, each for performing a unique task:
- Read: Read a disc to an image file.
- Build: Create an image file from files in your computer or network – or you’ll be able to write the files onto a disc.
- Write: Write an image file to a disc.
- Verify: Check a disc is 100% readable. Optionally, you may as well have ImgBurn evaluate it in opposition to a given image file to make sure the precise data is right.
- Discovery: Put your drive/media to check! Used together with DVDInfoPro, you’ll be able to verify the quality of the burns your drive is producing.
ImgBurn supports all of the Microsoft Windows OS – Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT4, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows 2003, Windows Vista, Windows 2008, Windows 7, and Windows 8 (together with all of the 64-bit versions). If you use Wine, it also needs to run on Linux and other x86-primarily based Unixes.

- Added: Holding the ALT key when clicking on the DLE window’s Disc pane column header will now remove the sort order (so they’re then basically sorted by addition order).
- Added: Ability to incrementally search the Explorer pane within the ‘Disc Layout Editor window.

- Added: The ability to set the ‘Platform ID’ when constructing a bootable disc – thus enabling the creation of UEFI bootable discs.
- Added: Internal version of the ‘BurnerMax Payload’ code (nicely, what I may figure out) to allow for overburning DVD+R DL on many MediaTek chipset-primarily based drives. In observation, this only appears to work on Lite-On (and clone) drives that have ‘Force HyperTuning’ enabled.
- Added: MSF information to the ‘Sector Viewer’ tool.
- Added: Allow for a bigger I/O buffer (1GB).
- Added: Option to choose the transfer size (32KB -> 512 KB) used when reading / writing files.

Ctrl+Shift+F = Add Files, Ctrl+Shift+N = New Folder) - Changed: No longer bundling/providing the Ask.com toolbar within the setup application software, OpenCandy now handles product choices throughout the installation.
- Changed: Buffered I/O is now enabled by default for reading/writing files.
- Changed: Update the splash screen logo.
- Changed: The ‘Delete’ option/button within the Disc Layout Editor has been renamed to ‘Remove’ so it matches the one in Standard input mode (and so people aren’t delayed by the period ‘Delete’ – considering it’ll truly delete the file on their hard drive).
- Changed/Fixed: Detect outsized UDF File Entry descriptors and don’t try and parse them.
- Changed/Fixed: Restore the ‘Disc Layout Editor window’s focus when the application software turns active.
- Changed/Fixed: Workaround for the new 16x LG Blu-ray writers that report the incorrect (a truncated) present write speed worth within the ‘GET PERFORMANCE’ response when burning at 16x.
- Changed/Fixed: Workaround for newer LG drives with the ‘Silent Play’ feature that appears to disregard attempts to set the read speed by way of the ‘SET STREAMING’ command. They get fixed on 1x and gained read any quicker!
- Changed/Fixed: Attempt to block users from maattemptingo put in writing discs their ‘combo’ drive doesn’t support (i.e. a DVD+RW/BD-ROM combo drive maattemptingo burn BD-R).

Immediate I/O’ and lose the preliminary error message from the ‘Immediate I/O’ version of the command. - Changed/Fixed: Made an adjustment (potential bug repair) to my drag+drop element’s code. It might reduce crashes / weird things occurring because the user has carried out a d+d operation.
- Changed/Fixed: ‘Shutdown Computer’ checkboxes ought to have read ‘Shut Down Computer.

- Fixed: Potential access violation when reading an area in a UDF File Set Descriptor.
- Fixed: Old (orphaned) AWS-associated registry/ini file entries had been being left behind – this was completely fantastic, it’s simply good to keep the place tidy!
- Fixed: DLE Window’s Disc Toolbar wasn’t being resized for higher DPI systems – which means the buttons weren’t seen.
