“Great tool for recording CD/DVD images”

by Nick Mead about ImgBurn

ImgBurn is an ultra-lightweight CD/DVD/HD/DVD and Blu-ray burning application that everyone should have in their toolkit.

Image burning is one of the fastest and most efficient ways to save large amounts of data to DVD or CD, because they allow users to download high volumes of data in a relatively small file. What's more, it's instantly ready for DVD or disk burning.

ImgBurn has several 'Modes', with each one performing a different task. These include Read, which reads a disc to an image file; Build, which creates an image file from files on your computer or network; Write, which writes an image file to a disc; and Verify, which checks whether a disk is 100% readable.

With this last option, you can also ensure that the data is correct by asking ImgBurn to compare your disk against an image file. Finally, ImgBurn also includes Discovery, which puts your drive to the test to find just what kind of speeds and disk types it can support.

Bear in mind that if you are experiencing any burning problems, it may be that your drive is not fast enough to handle the settings you have configured in ImgBurn. or that you are using the wrong kind of disks.

ImgBurn is a very lightweight and powerful image burner that requires little experience but will ensure all your images are burned in a flash.

Pros
  • Very lightweight
  • Easy to use
  • Performs drive analysis
  • Very quick
Cons
  • Does not support all drives

Developer's description

ImgBurn can write most types of CD / DVD images and it supports all the latest writers (including booktype / bitsetting on many of the major ones - i.e. BenQ, LiteOn, NEC, Plextor, Sony). You can even use ImgBurn to erase / format your rewritable media!

ImgBurn will try its very best to burn your DVD-Video double layer images using the layer break you've specified in the IFO files, but it can also calculate the best place for you. Advanced functionality can be found in context menus that appear when you right click on various bits of the user interface.
