  1. I did do that .. it is surprising that you have to select 'custom'  not to install these unwanted software packages, standard express install will add them.. (seems like subterfuge)

     

     

    In any event having selected no to all the extras .. install went ahead but it was not correct .... the desktop icon is not the usual 'disk'  but a standard windows text page icon .... as it does not install correct icon, am concerned that install has not taken place correctly.

     

    Anyway I obtained install from CHIP Digital De .... that installed OK

     

    Previously there was just a simple .exe to install purely imgburn .... that worked fine.things seem to be getting complicated.

  2. I just did exactly what you said .... I went to official home page   http://imgburn.com/

     

    Click on as you describe ... on the blue bar 'download'

    It takes you to a page where in middle of screen are several download links .... for safety I chose the one that states   Mirror 7 provided by IMGburn  and that takes you to

     

    http://download.imgburn.com/SetupImgBurn_2.5.8.0.exe

     

    It downloads the installer ... if you choose Express  the installer tries to install a whole load of software by stealth ....

    Opera, Tune up Utilities,

     

    I notice it does not try to install in programs folder ... but in Appdata\Roaming  ??? is this correct ......

    I did try the install but does not even put the correct IMG icon as the desktop shortcut ... just Windows default ..... makes this installer very suspect, so I uninstalled.

     

    You would think you would be able to trust the official home page & official installer link ..... this is very poor to have stuff installed by default.

  3. Not what happens for me ...I started at www,imgburn.com    and used the 'dowwnload' button

    I downloaded filke from the website which after multiple key presses for IMGburn takes you to download the IMGburn file at:

    http://imgburn.joydownload.com/download/?pid=122&vid=221869&tt=seo&c=GB&r=1623884314

     

      IMGBurn ... Innovative Systems ver 1.0.0.0  and 496Kb ... so installer rather than the application

     

    Run .. first screen was just advising "The product will be downloaded and installed ..."

    2nd screen .. had to selct custom install to avoid installing Yahoo toolbar

    3rd screen ... had to  select custom install to avoid installing OPERA

    4th screen .... had to select custon  install to avoid installingSpeedup your PC

     

    (Really annoying that it tries to install all these things)

     

    Then it jumped stright to install .... no options of where to install.

    It then opens teh program

     

    Strangely there is no desktop short cut and no IMGburn in All p rograms list .... so although it opened once, no where to start it again without doing install all over again.

     

    This used to be a neat simple install.

  4. Novice question.

     

    Just downloaded IMGburn.

    On first run, the IMG Burn log gives me a warning:

     

    * 14:11:04 Duplex Secure's SPTD driver can have a detrimental effect on drive performance.

     

    Is this something I need to take action on? ... do I need to remove/disbale something ?
     

    ImgBurn.log

  5. I had been failing to create DVD's that would play in a standalone DVD player. They would play on a PC if opened within WMP - but not autoplay or in a stanalone player.

     

    Roxio would create video without soundtrack (version I have it seems does not support AC3 Audio)

     

    Windows DVD maker - would not recognise file tye

     

    Nero 5 didn't want to know

     

    NCH Express burn ... would only create DVD that would play as a PC datafile.

     

    Then I was pointed to IMGburn

     

    As this was 3rd programme this week - somewhat sceptical ...

    However, downloaded, no config or setting up needed, it worked it all out for itself, and installed in minutes !

     

     

    It worked a treat .... very comprehensive, and VERY simple to use (my type of software)

    I simply pointed it to the folder with the files and it even knew to create folder into VIDEO_TS, worked quickly and perfectly.

     

    WELL DONE
