ImgBurn v2.5.1.0 Released!

http://www.imgburn.com/

Tuesday, 16th March 2010
  • 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: Optional installation of the Ask.com toolbar within the installer as part of a new partnership.
  • Added: Optional creation of desktop icons/shortcuts (web links) for free scans using Uniblue's DriverScanner, RegistryBooster and SpeedUpMyPC programs within the installer as part of an affiliate scheme.
  • 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.

The 'opt out' for those is under the shortcuts and icons section. That's all they are, web link shortcuts - delete them and they're gone forever.

I'm in the process of building a new setup exe where they're deselected by default.

They (especially the driver scanner one) were put there with the intention of them being useful... awesome backfire! Live and learn I guess!

I personally im not against those links as long as we have an option to deselect them, dvddecrypter and imgburn are known to be simple, lightweight without "crapware" and "links", i know you need to make some kind of return on the time you spend developing/hosting Imgburn but it seems the trend nowadays is "simple, fast, portable, no crapware" programs".

Anyway...thanks for the new version.

The updated version is now live on Mirror 8, hopefully the others will update their local downloads when the people that run the sites wake up and read their emails.

So in theory, everything is back to normal - bar the single checkbox that determines if the Ask toolbar is installed.

Hopefully people can cope with that.... if they can't, erm well, they need to lighten up a little.

Is there any way to select more than one DIRECTORY when burning a Data-CD/DVD? Multiple files are possible (holding shift- or STRG-KEY while selecting). If not please put this on the list for the next IMGBurn-Version.

Thank You for this great piece of software,

olnima

When in Build mode, switch the 'Input' menu at the top to 'Advanced' - that's way more flexible and you can D+D from the top Explorer style pane.

The 'Browse for folder' dialog box is a Microsoft default one, it doesn't allow for multiple folder selections.

You can also D+D from Explorer itself or even use Copy + Paste from Explorer.

It would be nice if key navigation could be implemented for the "Explorer style" pane. And I mean [A-Z] keys here. Cursor keys already work

Yes, that would be nice... but it's not my component (MustangPeak created it) and I don't really fancy messing with it!

Just saying Thank You!
Some feedback: everything I have tried with this and the last few versions has worked flawlessly, I like this so much better than when I used to have 'Nero' installed (which came bundled with the writers I bought) and it doesn't rape my system like that did. I don't mind the optional 'adware' as I know you might want something back for all your time and work - perfectly reasonably.

I have been using ImgBurn for many years, and I think it is the best burning software available!
That said, the latest version, v2.5.1.0 is not working properly for my Sony DVD+RW media ( Disc ID: Sony-S11-00 ).
I use BD-RB to create movie only and full backups to BD5 and BD9 media, but I like to test to DVD+RW media first. With the latest version, the discs burn fine, but will not play back on my Sony S360 standalone, with the player's display saying "Invalid Disc". The previous versions always worked fine.
I also use Verbatim DVD+RW media, (Disc ID: MKM-A02-00) but these work fine, both for burning and playback.
So for a test, I uninstall this latest version and install v2.5.0.0, and, after erasing the disc, burn one of these same Sony DVD+RW discs that would not play back properly, and now it plays back perfectly as before the update to the latest release!
Was there something in the latest release that could cause this?
I do not have any of these play back problems with any other media I use, which is Verbatim DVD-R, DVD+R DL and some TDK+R DL media. I only have used Sony and Verbatim for DVD+RW media though, and only the Sony DVD+RW media will not play back on my standalone.

A little wish for the next version:

I often have to burn different media (CD / DVD). That requires to change the preferred burning speed just as often.

It would be great to have the "Burning speed" group extended from "Data / Audio" to "Data CD / Audio CD / DVD / BD". (Possibly even more flexible, e.g. Data/Video DVD ?!)
__

A big wish for any future version:

A simple cover designer for printing? - The only reason to install Nero 6.6 still in parallel: To get the Nero Cover Designer.

The 'AWS' (Automatic Write Speed) feature already allows you to specify the write speed on a per Disc ID/MID/dye basis... so that covers different speeds for CD, DVD, BD etc.

The Data and Audio bits are for track types, not the type of data you're burning....and you can only select different speeds for those on the 'Read' operation screens, not the 'Write' ones.

I've no interest in doing a cover designer, sorry.
