technology can only improve the layering for dvd r's so much.

sooner or later imgburn is going to have to make the jump to removable media.  i've used the program forever and once in a while i run across operating systems that are bigger than 4.7 gb.  i don't like the other image burning programs, because the turn the media into a bootable drive.  even with 3.0 usb it's not an efficient drive, especially for crypto purposes. my profits increased 8%, as a reference on efficiency, from usb stick to m2 drive.  so it would be great if the program wasn't flashed to a thumb drive permanently.  granted debian based o.s's aren't as stupid as windows for size, but some of the crypto o.s.'s are getting close.  if imgburn can burn to a smaller thumb drive i'd accept that, but i haven't seen anything that would teach me how when i've looked.

ImgBurn, pretty much, has always written to optical media for output, save for image files saved to whatever random access memory it is directed to use.  And, now, Windows, etc. installation/recovery/repair media has gotten bigger than DVD DL.  So, it's almost exclusively written to flash drives now.  Although BD can be used for this purpose with a program like Rufus, it is beyond the scope of ImgBurn to do that.  Plus, getting working bootable media for Windows with ImgBurn other than writing an ISO to a disc is something I never got working in the first place.
