Wow, what an changelog!!! Big thanks to LUK and the beta testers for all the hard work!

Just trying out the Build function. It works great. It automatically leaves out the backup folders that PgcEdit creates under VIDEO_TS. That's really neat. I was wondering whether I should move it outside the root folder.

I notice something when checking out the iso info. If I leave the fields blank under Labels tab/Volume Identifiers, after iso is created, the System id is blank and the Volume Set id is UNDEFINED. But if I use PgcEdit's mkisofs, the System id is "Win32" and the Volume Set id is blank. The same is true if I create the iso manually using mkisofs v2.01-bootcd.ru (i686-pc-mingw32). This is just cosmetic. Thought you might already know this. I personally prefer the System id to be "Win32" and Volume Set id to be blank by default.

Just want to make sure, when creating a dvd-video image, can the file system be ISO9660 + UDF, or one or the other?

Will Imgburn accept some small data file (txt, mp3, etc) at the root folder when creating a dvd-video image or burning straight to DVD? Will the LB be set correctly if such file(s) are included?

For the cosmetic stuff, I'll leave LUK to answer.

The filesystem you should use is ISO9660+UDF. Strictly speaking, you only need UDF 1.02 (cos that's what players can read). But most, if not all, commercial disks, are ISO/UDF bridge.

And yes, ImgBurn (www.imgburn.com) will accept DVD-ROM files in the root directory and yes, the LB will be created correctly. We tested this a lot! Try it - build an image with DVD-ROM files and check the LB with ISOBuster.

I think for the volume identifier stuff I imitated what I found other tools to do - and I didn't look at mkisofs really, more so DVD Maestro, Gear etc.

As you can't ever see those fields unless you look really hard, I can't see it being a huge issue! lol

Someone must have finally donated the 20 million needed to implement this feature.

lol I can't believe you dug that old thread up :p

20 million....mmmm I wish!

ImgBurn just needed that extra feature a lot more than DVD Dec ever did. There's only so far a simple ISO burning program can go! One that builds + burns can do a lot better :)
