Synopsis: ImgBurn writes most types of CD/DVD image files to physical media. It supports the latest writers (including booktype/bitsetting on many of the major ones such as BenQ, LiteOn, NEC, Plextor, Sony etc.) You can also ImgBurn to erase/format your rewritable media.
Writes settings to: Application folder
How to extract: Download the installer and extract to a folder of your choice. Remove $PLUGINSDIR, $TEMP and Uniblue folders and create a text file called ImgBurn.ini with the following:

What's new: >>

ImgBurn 2.5.1.0 re-released. The links under the Tools menu (which ran the Uniblue programs if installed or launched an URL if not) are gone.

Added: Explorer style file manager pane to the top of the Disc Layout Editor window (can be disabled via a button on the existing toolbar).
Added: New 7.95GB, 23.3GB and 46.6GB file splitting options so the individual image file parts can be archived on DVD+R DL, BD-R or BD-R DL media.
Added: An option so the user can control whether or not the program will not halt logging after too many (1000) messages.
Added: Option in the settings to automatically make the Disc Layout Editor window 'stay on top' (joins the existing one for the Write Queue window).
Added: The user can now decide if 'Reparse Point' (A.K.A 'Junction') files/folders are included when scanning for files/folder to add to the compilation.
Added: Option to prevent the program from blocking AutoPlay when it receives the 'QueryCancelAutoPlay' message from the OS (probably only when it's in the foreground).
Added: Support for detecting when the user might be attempting to build a DVD Audio disc.
Added: Automatic change booktype support for the LiteOn drives using the NEC chipset ('iHASxxx Y' rather than 'iHASxxx A')
Added: Added additional bits of information to the disc information panel on the right.
Added: Support for a couple of other locations for the isolinux.bin file when trying to determine if it should automatically patch the boot-info-table.
Added: When the program fails to create a directory for the destination file in Read/Build modes, it'll now mention the reason rather than just saying it couldn't do it.
Added: Debug code for the functions that deal with the Taskbar's progress bar type feature under Windows 7.
Added: 'Reset DMA' feature to the 'Tools' menu. It's just an internal version of the 'ResetDMA.vbs' script found on the Internet.
Added: 'Reset Change Counter' option to the booktype feature for NEC drives. This resets the 'Changes Available' counter back to 500 and the booktype options to factory defaults.
Added: Support for reading MCN and ISRC information via other (and more reliable, especially on LiteON drives - will they ever fix the firmware bug?!) means.
Added: Support for reading ISRC information on some older devices that aren't quite as MCC standards compliant as was previously required.
Added: Blu-ray disc information to the disc info panel on the right.
Added: The 'N/A' text can now be translated.
Added: The default 'UNDEFINED' volume label can now be translated.
Added: Detection of/warning for HDD images without MBR - these cannot be used when making a bootable disc, the MBR must also be present.
Added: New 'errorlevel' return codes for use with CLI. (4 = Build/Read/Write aborted, 5 = Verify aborted)
Added: Support for the Acronova 'Nimbie' series of auto loaders.
Added: A new log entry to show the effective write speed.
Added: A workaround for buggy LG drive firmware (first noticed with my GGW-H20L@FW:YL05 - tried to contact LG twice but they ignored me) when issuing the 'GET PERFORMANCE' command with CD media in the drive.
Added: You can now decide between single and multiple extents when allowing files that exceed 4GB in the ISO9660/Joliet file systems. (Single fakes the size to 4GB, Multiple allows for the full size but isn't compatible with all parsers)
Added/Changed: Wipe out old 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER' file association stuff if HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE is writable.
Changed: The installer now has a checkbox to reset the settings rather than using a message box.
Changed: When adding a >4GB file in Build mode, the program now prevents ignoring the ISO9660 maximum file size if 'single extent' method is selected and the UDF file system isn't being included (i.e. you're left with no way to access the entire file).
Changed: No longer using the TOC information for the disc layout when reading DVD/HD DVD/BD disc, the information reported by the 'Read Disc/Track Information' commands is used instead.
Changed: Don't prompt for certain DVD Video related stuff if the VIDEO_TS folder is empty. (Gets around the double prompts when doing a homemade HD DVD Video disc with dummy/empty VIDEO_TS folder)
Changed: The Device MD5 in Verify mode now includes zeroed data for session gaps (as already used in Read mode - thus hopefully making them report the same MD5 for a disc!).
Changed: Tweak within the installer for the 'AllocateCDRoms' registry value on x64 OS's.
Changed: The 'Disc ID' button in the AWS window is now disabled when there's no active drive.
Changed: Moved the Yes/No/Cancel buttons on the 'Confirm Volume Label' form over to the right (same as the other forms now) which allows more room for the 'Auto Yes in X seconds' text on the left.
Changed: Searching for 'Medium Changers' (and also 'Auto Loaders') is now its own function and gets logged independently from the normal SCSI/ATAPI device scan.
Changed: Rewrote the code that sets the write speed so it now sets the speed and checks it against the selected speed properly before then trying fallback commands if there's a mismatch.
Changed: Tweaked the way the program handles discs where (according to the TOC) track 1 starts in what should be the pregap (i.e. 00:00:00 - 00:01:74 (MM:SS:FF)).
Changed: The 'Auto Yes in X seconds' text on the 'Create Volume Label' window is now translatable.
Changed: Tweaked the SPTD warning to say 'Duplex Secure's SPTD driver can have a detrimental effect on drive performance.'.
Changed/Fixed: The program wouldn't suggest a volume label when using Advanced Build mode unless a folder had been added to the compilation.
Changed/Fixed: The 'New Project' option on the 'File' menu didn't clear the Disc Layout Editor window.
Changed/Fixed: Tweaked the 'Stay On Top' code a bit so it behaves a little better.
Changed/Fixed: Workaround for Windows 7 'Show Desktop' issue where restoring the application via the taskbar button could (randomly) leave the main window minimised and the log window hidden off the screen.
Changed/Fixed: The NEC drive section of the booktype feature so you can adjust the temporary settings even when the initial query fails (assuming the v4 command set is supported by the drive).
Changed/Fixed: Tweaked the way the initial folder for the open/save boxes is calculated.
Changed/Fixed: (AGAIN!) The program would only use the layerbreak position in an IBB if the /CLOSE switch was issued via CLI, /CLOSESUCCESS wouldn't work (and it should have done).
Changed/Fixed: The 'Eject' option is now persistent across queued burns.
Changed/Fixed: Tweaked the way the program detects if a drive returns TOC info in BCD form or not (mainly an issue with really old/non compliant drives).
Fixed: Bringing up the 'Cancel' box (and leaving it there) whilst the program was adding files to the DLE window or preparing the build would mean that the form you tried to cancel would stay on the screen even after the operation had actually completed.
Fixed: (Again, I hope!) Not getting the 'TaskbarButtonCreated' message in Windows 7 and therefore not being able to do the fancy taskbar progress bar stuff.
Fixed: Main form losing focus when switching to Build mode or between Standard and Advanced Input.
Fixed: An issue with finding a layer break position when burning directly to DVD+R DL and the 'Double Layer' profile was set to 'DVD-R DL' on the 'Advanced' -> 'Media' tab (only visible when NOT burning direct to disc).
Fixed: An issue with unicode file/folder names being converted for the ISO9660 file system. (The file extension could get messed up)
Fxied: An issue when truncating ISO9660 file names (those with no extension anyway) when the option to allow names without extensions is enabled.
Fixed: The AutoPlay handler for BD Burning wasn't working correctly.
Fixed: You could right click the lower part of the column header of the listview control on the disc editor window and it would bring up a context menu as if you'd clicked the 1st item in the list.
Fixed: Issue where cached information was being used for the 'Source' information in Read mode when going from a burnt disc to an empty one.
Fixed: Filter driver file information was missing on x64 OS's.
Fixed: Couldn't add 4GB+ padding to an image.
Fixed: Problem when clearing the drop description in the 'DragLeave' event as part of a drag+drop operation.
Fixed: Problem with the listview header within the Write Queue window if the handle ever gets recreated.
Fixed: Certain fields that should have been present in the disc information panel on the right were missing for certain (multisession) discs.
Fixed: Imagelist issue on the 'Disc Layout Editor' window that could result in a crash when closing the program.
Fixed: Tweaked the parsing (and display) of track information for DVDs with open sessions.
Fixed: Tweaked the parsing (and display) of the TOC for multisession DVDs.
Fixed: UDF parsing code always used the first file set descriptor in the partition when looking for files (so files in a 2nd+ session were not seen).
Fixed: The '/DEST' CLI parameter didn't work in Verify mode (used to specify the image file to compare the disc to).
Fixed: The taskbar 'window preview' showed the log window under Windows 7 (no idea why, it just did!).
Fixed: Shutdown/restart/logoff code running before the forms are destroyed (and the log is saved).
Fixed: Random failure to load CCD files.
Fixed: A bug (you'd never run into) when the program tries to create a folder where there wouldn't be room for an 8.3 format file name after it whilst still keeping under MAX_PATH in length.
Fixed: Verify/Read speed linked to Write speed issue with AD-7240S drive (and possibly others?)
Fixed: Bug within the installer for the 'AllocateCDRoms' registry value where the type was set to DWORD rather than a String like it should have been.
Fixed: The README.TXT file in the fake ISO9660 FS on bootable UDF only discs was being recorded without an actual name.
Fixed: An issue loading CCD/CUE files made by CloneCD where the first index didn't start at 00:00:00

[Anonymous] OIf you want you can delet the sound files, only keep the .exe file :) [2006-03-25 23:27]

[Anonymous] Jaime Martínez-FigueroaAgree with O, the sound files are unnesesary. This app is really useful ^_- [2006-04-18 10:36]

 [2006-09-13 02:19]

[Anonymous] sc0would anyone care to explain why this app calls microsoft (wwwtkttest2.microsoft.com - 207.46.198.30), then google (qb-in-f147.google.com - 72.14.205.147) and then yahoo before calling home to check for update (malthus.zen.co.uk - 212.23.8.80). Why does it need to check for connectivity in this way? [2007-01-03 12:34]

[Anonymous] Ryushi@sc0:
Here is the answer to your suspicious findings:
http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=200
ImgBurn seams to test for internet connection before testing for updates.
Solution: Uncheck under "settings/events" the "check for program update"-option.

[Anonymous] NuLLThis looks an awful lot like DvD Decrypter [2007-03-31 01:11]

[Anonymous] formicaeNuLL: it should look like DVD Decrypter, it's basically the same app (by the same guy) without the DeCSS and Macrovision removal code, as far as I know. Less...legal baggage. [2007-04-12 11:55]

[Anonymous] Phill RogersI've just done some back-to-back tests of 7 different portable burners & IMHO this is best. Even runs on a Vista WinPE LiveCD & on Wine! [2007-07-26 05:29]

[Anonymous] Mosh MoshI love to use this with the NRG2ISO Program they go Hand in hand.I havent had 1 problem with either one of them and have tested both on 12 different systems not 1 single problem yet. Os I have this installed on are Win XP pro and Home Win 2000 pro Win 2003 server and win 98 SE they work flawlessly. [2007-12-08 13:05]

[Anonymous] Mosh MoshSorry I shouldnt have said INSTALLED It works from my USB perfectly with said Os'es [2007-12-08 13:07]

[Anonymous] RomeoAlmost perfect! (what a pity, cannot multi-session cds) [2008-01-25 08:06]

[Anonymous] indy ramApril 1 version is a gem indeed
It allows you to burn extracted files from video-ts folder
You don't have to make an ISO
It is more graphic
Better than any burning program
Less likely to make a coaster with verify option
Great improvement indeed
 [2008-04-03 10:47]

[Anonymous] aImgBurn performed very well for me, and I just love the little jingle after success.

Cheers to the author!
 [2008-09-27 20:53]

[Anonymous] JimSweet.

One little question. To launch using ImgBurn.exe /portable, I want to use a shortcut. But Windows shortcuts don't seem to allow me to use relative paths, instead prepending a drive letter - which will change on the next machine I plug my USB stick into...

Any way around this?
 [2008-12-06 00:20]

[Anonymous] JuergenHow do I:

Launch using "ImgBurn.exe /portable". ?

'/' is an illegal character in Windows file name
 [2008-12-06 09:45]

[Anonymous] AustinWont lemme use ISO files, why so? [2008-12-28 18:51]

[Anonymous] ManikCreate a txt file
In file put everything but "

"
ImgBurn.exe /portable
exit
"

Save then rename file to ImgBurn.bat
Now you can double click the.bat file and it will run it for you.
 [2009-01-09 08:55]

[Anonymous] Tala@Manik: Thankyou, I finally got this running. [2009-01-20 19:32]

[Anonymous] JuergenThank you, Manik. That did the trick.
Another question: I read somewhere, but can't find it now, that there is a way to immediately close the DOS window as well.
Would you happen to know?
 [2009-01-28 05:24]

[Anonymous] Whistler@Juergen:

Use:

START ImgBurn.exe /portable
exit

in your BATch file and that will close the DOS window automatically.

Cheers, Whistler

[Anonymous] ZZZWrote a folder containing pics using the software and ran the verify function which gave an error. the problem is the PC started acting funny after that giving continuous errors, and the other PC which I tried viewing the pics on also started giving errors?! (to which I had to restore the system to a previous state!!)

Does anybody know if it is a virus related to the image burn S.W.?? If not what could it be??
 [2009-03-30 02:24]

[Anonymous] qualle2.4.3.0 released on April Fools day... [2009-04-04 08:06]

[Anonymous] HawkNew version available 2.4.4.0 [2009-04-18 05:58]

[Anonymous] ZinaDon't use batch files for portable software, it's lamerville. It's a retarded solution and it only causes trouble. You accidentally start it the wrong way, or you set a file association with the .exe instead of the .bat, and BAM, the thing starts up and installs a whole messload of registry keys.

ImgBurn does not need "/portable", all you have to do is manually add "PortableMode=1" to ImgBurn.ini and it will ALWAYS start up in portable mode.

Don't you guys even CHECK for stuff like that before running lamerville "batch files?"

...
 [2009-05-01 10:03]

[Anonymous] RegularPortableFreewareUserIt worked for me, but seems way too complicated to understand all the settings fully. Also, it had some simple conflicts with other programs due to default file type (extension) usage. Thankfully, the file type usage can be edited in the program. I would love to use this program more if the settings weren't so intimidating. I only like using programs that I fully understand. But if you need something, ImgBurn is pretty likely to be capable is my guess. [2009-10-24 16:08]

[User] guinness@Zina ImgBurn requires the /portable CLI otherwise the LogFiles will be created in the %AppData% directory. [2009-12-30 10:29]

[User] Onesimus PrimeI just posted a .bat launcher at http://www.portablefreeware.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=6017 that can also handle portable file associations via eXpresso/C.A.F.E./Coffee, if anyone's interested. [2010-03-16 01:04]

[User] HydaralYou don't need the /portable option. Just set all the paths in the ini file to relative. eg:

FILELOCATIONS_LogFiles=.\Log Files\
 [2010-03-16 01:50]

[User] Onesimus Prime@ guinness - I just looked in my .ini (as per Hydaral's post) and it says FILELOCATIONS_LogFiles=.\Log Files\
Can you verify your post? It'd be nice if, between everyone, we could figure out a 'final' answer for the easiest way to make this portable!
 [2010-03-16 06:19]

[User] I am BaasI love ImgBurn, but it's become an adware tool now that it has built in links to Uniblue's DriverScanner, RegistryBooster and SpeedupMyPC online scanners. [2010-03-17 00:40]

[User] I am BaasShould it still be in TPFC? [2010-03-17 00:45]

[User] joby_tossIt also contain the Ask.com toolbar installer, but it is easy avoidable by extracting using UniversalExtractor. So I think it should be here. Maybe changing the license type to Adware ... [2010-03-17 01:32]

[User] I am Baas@joby_toss
I was refering to the portable (uniextracted) version. The links to the online scanners are under the tools tab (thus not avoidable, unless you reshack the thing).
 [2010-03-17 02:15]

[User] joby_tossSo Adware it is! [2010-03-17 03:07]

[User] Onesimus PrimeHmm, we'll see how the adware 'addition' plays out...

The author's current response to a complaint at http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=14063 -
"OMG, it's the end of the world!
They run the programs if you have them installed, if not they take you to the web page.
That's it, nothing more, nothing less.
The 'scan for outdated drivers' one is actually very valid as we frequently tell people to do that anyway."
 [2010-03-17 08:52]

[User] I am BaasHow about this one @ http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=14055&view=findpost&p=114370

"Oh ffs, it's a couple of menu options. Just don't click them!"

I don't think he gets it or maybe he does and it's all about $$$ afterall
 [2010-03-17 09:31]

[User] joby_tossOf course it's all about the money! Who likes to work for free?
While I understand his position, I will think twice before using this one again. Thanks God, we have alternatives! I think I'd rather install CDBurnerXPPro! He chose his way, but I also can choose mine!
 [2010-03-17 12:29]

[User] I am BaasGood news, ImgBurn is back to the way it used to be... see http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=14055&view=findpost&p=114382 [2010-03-17 14:56]

[User] I am BaasForgot the quote "There's a new version of the installer that has the uniblue icons disabled by default and unless they're enabled in the installer, the items in the Tools menu won't appear either." [2010-03-17 14:57]

[User] joby_tossWtf?! Was he expecting this thing to go unnoticed? Very quick turns! Disturbing... [2010-03-17 18:40]

[Anonymous] AzazelMmm.... duuno if someone is having the "crash issue"...
After the "installation" process (the ini file) imgburn opens and crashes within a second... someone knows why is that?.

I´m gonna keep the old version in the meanwhile :S

Download ImgBurn and install to your PC
Copy the C:\Program Files\ImgBurn folder to your Flash Drive
In the ImgBurn folder, create an empty file called ImgBurn.ini
Use ImgBurn.exe to launch the program
Note: You can uninstall ImgBurn from your PC once you have completed these steps.

If your virus scanner has detected a virus in the application, please email the author directly or post to the forum. Note that false positives (i.e. flagging a virus when there is actually none) are extremely common for virus scanners. When in doubt, try an online scanner like Online Malware Scanner or VirusTotal, which scans files using multiple anti-virus engines. It is very likely to be a false positive if only a few engines raise the red flag.
