Hi everyone,
I downloaded and installed ImgBurn yesterday (until now I've always used DvdDecrypter). I've burned 2 test discs (.msd/.iso images ripped with DvdDecrypter) using the default settings. The discs burned/verified with no problem, a Nero cd-dvd file/surface scan and a DvdInfoPro scan showed no errors, and the discs played perfectly on all my players.
So, everything seems great, I just have a couple of questions, mostly about settings. I just want to make sure everything is set correctly before I start burning large amounts of discs. Should I leave the settings at default, or is there anything I should change? Really there are only 2 settings I'm unsure about:
1.) In the settings/write tab, the default "write type" is DAO - in Decrypter this setting is SAO - what's the difference, and does it have any impact on writing/playback or anything else?
2.) In the settings - I/O tab tab "STPI - use 'cd-rom class" is checked by default. what does this do - should I just leave it checked? I haven't messed with it because I don't know what it is - like I said, until now I've just used the default settings.
Aside from those two settings, is there anything I should change (mostly I'm just doing .iso backups ripped with decrypter, or .iso images created with dvdshrink)
As for Dual-Layer discs, I've always used decrypter to burn these and never had a problem - I've noticed several postings here where people are having problems burning DL with ImgBurn. Should I stick to Decrypter for DL burning or does ImgBurn work the same way/just as well?
Also, is there any way to set ImgBurn as the default burner in DvdShrink?
One last thing, just out of curiosity - other than the fact that Decrypter is no longer being updated, are there any advantages in using ImgBurn instead of Decrypter to burn?
Thanks for any help/comments, etc.
