LIGHTNING UK! I'd be more than happy if your installer offered to install: Amazon, AskJeeves, Yahoo, MSN, AVG or any other reputable brand. Not trashy unheard of tin-pot crap like 'Entrusted toolbar" Agree with forum poster Sigma - about the toolbar option being enabled by default. Why not make it disabled by default? LIGHTNING UK! How about putting a paypal donate option in your installer? And making THAT option enabled, so that when the user clicks proceed, a browser window opens at the end of the install asking for donation? After putting all this effort crafting such a fine tool. You go and pollute it with adware by choosing an installer system with that in it and taint the tool reputation in the process. What a plonker! ImgBurn is a fine tool and a demonstration of your skills. So couldn't you have made a free limited version with a paid version and used a decent software delivery platform such as digital river or cleverbytes? These guys seem decent: http://www.nch.com.au/burn/ They offer a free version with the choice to buy. Yes their installer had options to install other stuff but it is only *their* other software they'd like to introduce you to, and it's optional. Yes they offer an optional toolbar, but it is Ask - which are one of decent old-school brands. Not some sh*tty never-heard-of crap. They are switched on, these guys at NCH, nice site too, no misleading big DOWNLOAD links to avoid etc. Yeah, nice. That's how it should be done. Hmmm.... Yeah [gets megaphone out] folks go there if you don't want to accidentally soil your machine with unheard toolbars (pardon I'm human for click happy on your-enabled-by-default option) Thanks for the "campfire" story dbminter and glad someone's got time for imaging and differential backups every day. But I'm with that sensible lady on that: "Aint nobody got time for that" @Altercuno - ho ho. I don't think I'll pass this joke on and pretend it was mine though... (Sorry but couldn't see any "value add" to the discussion... )

Right... Ok then - just comments... are you going to do something about it?! 2 choices: 1) just upload the imgburn compiled executable (without malware crap in it, i.e. compiled purely in YOUR OWN development environment, Visual C++ ? Qt? with NO adulteration what-so-ever from any 3rd-party packager, or use a decent package installer (open source one?) ) to your site and have a download link for it. Easy, no? or 2) use digital river or cleverbytes as a nice legit payment and software delivery platform and make this software paid therefore no need for the adware sh*t. (why not make the free version limited feature set, freemium model. Why don't you just think?! Are you actually making any money off putting this 'optional' stuff in anyway?!) Reported on malwarebytes: http://forums.malwarebytes.org/index.php?showtopic=127903 You clearly have had a conscious say in how this software is delivered, as it didn't used to have this crap in it and you are aware of this, if a little lacking in checking how it shows to the end-user. I really think you have shot yourself in the foot with regards to your reputation.

I hope following image clarifies: It says... "ImgBurn 2.5.8.0 Setup" - to me that looks pretty much to with ImgBurn... AND... "Recommended by ImgBurn" - hmmmmm What a shame...

Reported in Norton: https://safeweb.norton.com/reviews/216521 Will report in malwarbytes forum later... Just take this crap off and start charging please... you deserve proper reward for your great tool (i.e. money - and I'm prepared to cough up for it and I have as you know!)

One thing I do want to know - will this stuff damage my machine - is it malware or just a adware that's harmless (though a big nuisance)... ?

I have no idea what this OpenCandy thing is - all I did was just download imgburn from your site. Such lovely tool, such a shame to taint it with this crap - it didn't used to be like this - is this now not under your control? Further points: 1) I went through the install again - yes it is imgburn installing this crap - but yes it is an option - more fool me for being too click-happy to get the brilliant imgburn installed and not reading the 'small print' on the express install option which talks about 'entrust' (ENTRUST?! FFS!) toolbar. If you go for custom install you uncheck uncheck all these and get none of this trashy crap that you're not gonna need anyway - I mean imgburn author how on earth do you think you're gonna make money touting crappy unheard of dubious toolbars?! 2) this will be reported on Norton and on Malwarebytes forums 3) I've just made a donation for $30 to imgburn (so anyone can shut up about saying they're giving this tool for free so that justifies adware junkware crap, if I hear another complaint maybe pay you another donate) You ought to charge for this tool - it's better than Nero or other tools. It isn't difficult to do. What have you got to lose? Digital River, Cleverbytes etc all off download and payment mechanisms...

Just installed latest version of your software only to find that Chrome default search engine has delta-search,com as startup page and default search engine? WTF? I DON'T need this SH*T - I didn't ask for it and you've just tainted your lovely reputation for a wonderful program. First EaseUS try in on now you. WTF is going on? Don't you care about your reputation? I don't want sh*tty stuff I didn't ask for. And it was you because I've just re-installed windows and your app was the first thing I installed after Norton - which detected something called Goon as well. What on earth are you thinking?!

Thanks! http://superuser.com/questions/278402/how-to-compare-files-with-partially-matching-file-names-tools-software

I am burning a DVD with very long e.g. around 123 or more character files (i.e. .eml files with subject and header in filename). I want to avoid truncation. I understand that turning off unicode (i.e 16bit/2bytes per character) support so that 8bit/1byte per character will double the length available - for ascii filenames Three questions: 1) Given that I only ever want to use ascii filenames and never unicode is there any disadvantage *in this case* in switching off unicode? 2) Does switching off unicode make my discs any less compatible with readers OSs etc, given that the filename text is only ascii? 3) Is switching off unicode a valid option in the UDF standard? i.e. not breaking the rules of the standard? Reference topics I've already looked at for answers: "Maximum filename length for UDF Imgburn limits to filenames 127 characters yet UDF supports 254 char" http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=11845 "Extremely long file names (including path) and files with semicolons in their names on the same disc" http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=17044 "any downside to making that this setting the default for UDF?" http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=11845&st=0&p=103631entry103631

Thanks folks for the quick response. I took a Mode1 BD-RE Video to my local HiFi store and played it on a Sony and Panasonic. It was recognised and did play.

When Burning a Blu-ray Video from pre-prepared files (i.e. BDMV and CERTIFICATE folders), your Guide does not mention in the ImgBurn application Image Options settings tab which Data Type / Mode should be used for Blu-ray Video Discs. Which mode is the required standard for producing standard Blu-Ray Video discs that will play on Blu-ray players? Mode1/2048 or Mode2/Form1/2352? ImgBurn does not suggest anything here. I assume it is Mode1/2048 because Mode2 is used for certain types of CD. Am I correct? Or are both supported in the definitive Blu-ray video standard? If so why? By the way the guide is a little out of date: for example, in the Source panel there is a "Show Disc Layout Editor" which is not mentioned in the guide. I have already searched this forum via the built in search tool and via google for the terms: Blu-ray mode1 video but not seen anything to answer my question. I am not sure whether the built-in forum search tool searches for posts with all terms specified (what I want) or with any of the terms specified (not what I want because this would give more unrelated topic posts) Thanks in advance.

Followed instructions on: http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=6379 I have a very recent USB 2.0 LG DVD/CD writer attached to a more than capable Dell Inspiron 8600 laptop running Windows XP. Any type of CD burns and copies in Nero, Sonic, dbPowerAmp are really fast - matter of around 2 or 3 minutes at 48X. The CD is a CD Extra - 26 audio tracks, and a data section. It is a working Verbatim (good brand) CD-R - it is pretty reliable - I can read it in other programs. Why is it so slow to just make an image on ImgBurn??? It seems like it is stuck/frozen/or hanged on 0% with "Analysing Tracks... (Session 1 Track 2)" The LED on the drive is flickering so something is happening but I don't know what. When I start the copy, it almost instantly skips track 1 to say it is on track 2 as above and is stuck there. My read settings are MAX / MAX I tried to use the search - terms "iso copy" to find an answer but got an error message. " The error returned was: Sorry, but we did not find any matches to display. Try again and broaden your search criteria. If you were searching for new posts since your last visit, it's possible that there are none to show. "
