[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]

[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] jnoTry Small CD Writer http://www.avtlab.ru/scdwriter.zip (http://www.avtlab.ru/scdwriter.htm may be in russian only...) [2008-02-15 00:32]

[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

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

Cheers to the author!

[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??

[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?"

[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]

For more general topics (eg. whether apps that write to the registry, leave traces on the host machine, rely on certain versions of IE etc. can be considered portable), please post to the Portable Freeware Discussion forum. 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.
