Today I spent some time in testing this great program and i have to say 'well done LUK'
I tried to make my weekly backup with ImgBurn and i noticed few things:
1.DVD no1
Misc data - one 2.3GB file + ~2000 very small ones [various source code, most of them under 1kb], 4.2GB total
UDF filesystem v1.02 / DVD+R Verbatim 16x [i am not sure about exact series/other data, i use this type of media for long time without any issues] / 8x write speed
Disc was finished in just under 8min without warnings
After writing I tried to copy whole content from DVD to my HDD to check that all files are readable [this was important backup]
Copy time was way too long - 40min total
Then i tried to burn same compilation [same settings] with Nero 8.2.8 and copy time was around 25min
After that, i transfered compilation on my laptop and burned from there 2 discs, one with nero and one with imgburn [same data noticed above ofc].
Copy times was similar to ones from 1st measure [42min for disc from imgburn and 26min from nero]
Also, during transfer from imgburn's disc i noticed strange 'clack-clack' sounds from DVD drive. (similar sound to one when you trying to read damaged disc)
Did someone have any idea about this?
2.DVD no2
Large files - 6x700mb files well, my vacation videos you know..
ISO9660+UDF / relaxed restrictions / same media as DVD1 / 8x write speed
Disc finished in time, no errors
Time to copy to HDD - 11min [as you can see, i become pretty paranoid after 1st DVD (1st 4 to be more acurate lol)]
3.DVD no3
DVD film - few large 1gb and some small files
Same as DVD2, no problems at all
Conclusion
ImgBurn is great program, lightweight, easy to use, portable
Ofc, there is room for improvements.
-Maybe you should to implement some sort of folder structure editor/more usable file browser in build mode.
Consider this fairly common scenario: User want to create few folders on DVD structure and put various files from his HDD into them without creating those structures on HDD. With this build mode implementation in v2.4 i dont know how to do that.
I'll continue to use ImgBurn and, if some of suggestions above find place in some future release, ImgBurn will totally replace Nero on my PC
P.S. Off topic question. Can someone closely explain red marked options on picture. I suppose what they are but i am not sure
P.P.S. Sorry for long post and sorry for my terrible English <3
