As far as I am concerned 'Image Burn' is simply the best optical media writer out there. Nothing else even comes close. But there is one thing that really (REALLY) bugs me. When I tell Image Burn to abort a burn (press the big red stop button) it takes forever to stop. And if I press it again I just get a message telling me it 'heard me the first time'. IF IT HEARD ME, WHY ISN'T IT TAKING ANY NOTICE????? When I hit the stop button, I want the program to stop. Straight away. To be honest, knowing how long Image Burn takes to stop, if I want to abort I usually just shut down the computer, take the disk out using the paper clip method, then restart. This (even with the reboot) is faster than waiting for Image Burn to get its act together. Please (please, pretty please) get Image Burn to stop immediately the Stop button is pressed. I guess you will have to have a dialog box come up and say "Are you sure you want to stop burning your disk", but when I press OK on that dialog box then please again, just stop burning and eject the disk. IMMEDIATELY (OK, 2 - 3 seconds of delay is reasonable to let the disk slow down, but no more, please, please, please.) Rant over.

Registered on the site just to say THANK YOU FOR IMAGE BURN!!!! As I tell people 'you'll never use Nero again after you've used Image Burn'(and everyone who I've turned onto it ends up raving positively about it).! I've been using it for ages, ever since I discovered I could burn double layer disks with it, and choose where the layer break goes - though IB usually finds exactly were I put the layer break in Scenarist without any problems. But what brought this gushing on is that I also discovered that Image Burn seems to have no problems with 8cm disks (not burnt one yet, but it sees them fine, with the correct capacity and the lot). I've a whole series to make.... Thanks, you think of everything!!! And please, please, please DON'T expand Image Burn to be anything other than a program which burns files/directories to shiny silver disks... so many other burning programs started off fine, then turned into rippers, authoring progams and the rest (makers of tea) and ruined themselves. The GREAT thing with Image Burn (and so many other freeware programs, which makes them so good) is that it does ONE thing only, BUT IT DOES IT EXCEEDINGLY WELL!!!!! Programs which try to do everything always end up compromised and what seemed (perhaps) like convenience ends up as confusion..... Thanks Lightspeed, you don't know how many DVD studio managers you've saved from turning into gibbering wrecks (I know of several others, beside myself).
