juverax on 2023-12-13 09:04

Actually, AFAIK https://www.rizonesoft.com/downloads/carbon-cd/ is the main website ....
and https://softradar.com/ is a site hosting downloadable software.

Ooops, "PlayList Copy" is the culprit trojan file, but still should be careful with this site. The author should know about this and fix it, or have their softwares be avoided.

There is more good Amok free software:

I have used AmoK DVD Shrinker (also portable), which "shrinks DVDs up to one fifth of the original size without any noticeable quality reduction".
I used it to reduce a DL DVD to a 'normal' DVD.

aazard on 2020-11-09 00:49

A+++++, "Kneel before Zod" level power

Burns ALL types of CD, SVCD, DVD's (RL & DVD-RAM). If it can be erased it can erase it.
I'd gues its a small plug-in (and skilled coder) away from Blu-ray burning with how well made it is

Amok CD-DVD Burner & their 2 "best" other app: DVD Shrinker & MP3_ReEncoder.
Tiny, the features ppl really use/need.

This is to "Big name" Burning software what VirturalDub is to KdenLive OR Waveshop is to Ocenaudio.
Its not the "best available" but its the best at "BYTE FOR BYTE" WEIGHT

- Amok Burner is 970Kb
- Amok DVD Shrinker is 700kb
- Amok MP3 ReEncode is 1.6mb (THATS WITH x86 Lame "v3995o 32bit" added & it weighs in at 339kb).

3.2mb total! Imgburn is bigger than that
Thats 3.2mb for EVERYTHING, once UPX'ed, and like I said that INCLUDES lame for windows.

"Copy or move the contents of $INSTDIR to a folder of your choice":
I just extracted using uniextract (2. try: 7zip, same result). There is no $INSTDIR, only $PLUGINSDIR, SOUNDS and files imgburn.exe, imgburnpreview.exe, readme.txt.
I suppose this altogether is equivalent to $INSTDIR ? At least it seems to work and afterwards the ini is 18KiB and it created dir "Log Files".

smaragdus on 2015-04-15 04:09

I confirm that *fang-face* is right- the extraction of the latest version of ImgBurn (2.5.8.0) with Universal Extractor version 1.6.1 or with 7-Zip version 9.20 doesn't create any '$INSTDIR' directory.

alanc on 2016-09-25 11:58

"Includes disc testing, verification (that files are exactly the same as those on the disc)"

Re verification: I'm not sure, but I think the program only verifies that the burned content is readable. I don't see the source drive active during this process.

I always verify with WinMerge after burning:

No "erase disc" option...
I prefer to use "burniso" from ghosthunter as standalone app or to burn iso with "deepburner".
BTW, I haven't found any trace of "burniso" in the registry... Anyone to test it as portable ?

TDM on 2008-01-17 17:54

I agree, it needs an erase function!

Zero3K on 2020-05-25 22:15

It does have an erase function. After asking for a blank CD, if it is re-writable, it will ask if it is OK to erase it.

Does burning a mixed mode audio CD with Burrrn require having a Disc drive that can write CD-Text. My burner is an Optiarc DVD+RW AD 7580S. According to the Nero Info Tool, it can read CD-Text, but it is not clear if it can also write CD-Text. Also, can Burrrn create an audio CD with album cover image (jpg) as well as text (track and album information).

UPDATE: deleted the NSIS launcher i had posted that took care of the registry keys.. etc.

for CD-Text support.. your Drive has to have the capability. I use Exact Audio Copy which does support CD-Text.. not sure about Burrrn.

DeepBurner Free Portable Edition v1.9.0

Midas on 15 Jan 2015

DeepBurner Free Portable Edition is an advanced CD and DVD burning package. It supports a very wide range of internal and external (USB 2.0 and FireWire) CD and DVD writers. The free version supports creation of data CD/DVD, audio CDs and ISO images.

Category:
Runs on:Win95 / Win98 / WinME / WinNT / Win2K / WinXP
Writes settings to: Windows registry. Despite the claim that the portable edition writes settings to the application folder, I find that it still writes to the Windows registry and user profile folder. However, the number of settings is small and non-crucial, so I think it can be accepted as portable.
