Occasionally I would like to have a log file (e.g. in case of burn errors). Does ImgBurn offer a log file writing? How do I enable it? Peter

So that means: Even if I use only the "build mode" (I am burning only files on a DVD) the speed settings of the "Write" and the "Verify" mode are taken. In other words: Prior to starting a "build" I have to select the "Write" and the "Verify" modes and to adjust the speed settings. Later I switch to the actual "Built" mode to perform the burning. Is this correct?

Assume I got an already burned DVD from someone else. How can I find out (preferred with ImgBurn) with which format is was originally burned: ISO9960 ISO9960 + Jolliet ISO9960 + UDF UDF If this is not possible with ImgBurn: Is there another tool/way to find this out? Pter

The maximum burn speed of my DVD recorder is (much) lower than the maximum read speed. Is ImgBurn able to detect this and use the maximum read speed for after-burn-verifiy? Or does ImgBurn use one speed for all? It seems to me that ImgBurn always uses the write speed for the verification step as well. Peter

I tried to burn a couple of files with a total size of 4.700.359.022 bytes on a DVD+R. According to the spec the maximum possible capacity for a DVD+R is at least 4,700,372,992 bytes. Furthermore I could burn the same files without any problems on the same burner, the same DVD+R and the same WinXP with another burning software (Nero and CDburnerXP) WITHOUT problems. However I am getting warnings and error when I try to burn these files with ImgBurn (see attached snapshots). So this must be a bug of ImgBurn. Could you fix this in the next release ? Thank you Peter

In general there are two ways of burning files onto a DVD: "track-at-once" vs. "disc-at-once" How do I specify in ImgBurn which method I would like to use? Peter

Hmmm, there is NO "disc info box" on the right. In "build" mode there are 5 tabs on the right: - Information - Device - Options - Labels - Advanced None of them contains a "Formatted" info box. Do I have miss something? Peter

Assume I have a rewriteable DVD+RW with some files already on it. Now I want to delete the existing stuff and put some new files on it. To have enough space on the DVD the old files must be erased first. Other burning programs offer a smart "quick erase" option which deletes only the FAT index. It is quicker and take care of not to write too often onto a DVD media. ImgDurn however only offers (as far as I found out) a "full erase" which means physically erasing of the whole DVD. This is not wanted. Is there somewhere a "quick erase" option which let me perform a shorter erase? If possible this quick erase should be done automatically when writing new files on a media. Peter

Assume I want to burn some files on a DVD in "Build" mode. I found no option to tell ImgeBurn to start a Multi-Session-DVD (to be able to add later more files). How can I do this? Peter

When I am start to burn a DVD a dialog pops up which prompts me for two (!) volume labels: One for ISO9960 and one for UDF. Entering 2 labels is unconvenient. How can I tell ImgBurn to use ONE volume label for all? Peter

When I open in Settings dialog the tab "File locations" then I have to specify for - Graph Data - Log - Project - Queue files individual folders. This is rather unconvenient. Is there really no way to tell IB a base directory (e.g. the installation directory of IB) and all "special folders" are automatically sub-folders of this base directory? Could this be included in the next release? Peter

When I burn some files on a DVD then all files names are truncated after (approx) 60 chars. Why? When I burn the same stuff with other burn software (e.g. Nero) then the FULL file names are accepted and burned. Peter

I am often drag files to burn onto ImgBurn with long filenames. To see the full name I would appreciate if ImgBurn would display them completely. Unfortunately ImgBurn does currently not allow resize of the window. Could this resizing be introduced in the next release and let IB remember its size and position (in Registry or *.ini) file in the next release? Thank you Peter

Can I install ImgBurn on an USB stick and run it on other computers? In other words is it portable? Peter

I wanted to burn a couple of files onto my current CD/DVD. However I miss something like a browser window where can I drag & drop these files. When I open in "Write" section the link "Browse for a file...." Then the dialog shows as default type "All supported Files". OK, I changed this to *.* und selected some *.txt files. But then I got an error popup "Invalid or Unsupported image file format". Hmm, what's that? Is it not possible to burn simple *.txt files? How can I otherwise select them? Peter

When I start ImgBurn the first dialog is shown as "What would you like to do" How can I AUTOMATICALLY skip this dialog and chosse by default "Write files/folders to disc" ? Second question: how can I revert back from the window visible for ""Write files/folders to disc" " to the initial selection dialog mentioned above? Peter

After having installed ImgBurn I noticed that ImgBurn tries to contact Microsoft and other sites. My firewall popped up a couple of times. How can I turn off this crap? What kind of internal information is ImgBurn trying to sent to which server? This is not a proof of trustworthyness Peter
