dcam Posted July 30, 2007 Posted July 30, 2007 From http://www.imgburn.com/ > ImgBurn supports all the Windows OS's - Windows 95, 98, Me, NT, 2000, XP, 2003 and Vista (including all the 64-bit versions). If you use Wine, it should > also run on Linux and other x86-based Unixes. Even though DVDDecrypter runs fine under Wine on Linux, ImgBurn doesn't run properly for me - it dies with this error: > Internal Error: SubClassUnicodeControl. Control is not Unicode. However you can see the main window and that most things are there. Compatibility can't be far off You can see a screenshot at http://www.aaa.net.au/campbell/ImgBurn.png
LIGHTNING UK! Posted July 30, 2007 Posted July 30, 2007 This is a recent Wine problem. They did a patch for another unicode issue a few days (weeks) ago, and now it's broken other stuff. Take a look at the bugs page at winehq and you can see their progress with the issues. http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7512 http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8963 http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8624 So going by those, they've pretty much all been resolved now. Update to the latest version of Wine perhaps?
dcam Posted August 5, 2007 Author Posted August 5, 2007 I've just updated to 0.9.42 which is the head version. Problem is still apparent there. I've updated the wine support site to that effect. I'll wait...

Update to the latest version of Wine perhaps? I'm using Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn) and ImgBurn 2.3.2.0; under WINE it runs like a champ, if you ask me. Granted, you might have to do a little "tweaking" from within winecfg to get your drive(s) properly recognized, but if you can make it past that hurdle, you're in business.

Keiran Posted September 29, 2007 Posted September 29, 2007 Have you got any idea where i could get my self a copy of ubuntu feisty fawn! *Spelling * like a quick link perhaps Many thanks in advance keiran.
doxola Posted September 29, 2007 Posted September 29, 2007 One more thing...my screen cap wasn't the greatest. I was VNC'd into the machine running Ubuntu, and I couldn't get it to refresh cleanly (apparent by the area above the "About ImgBurn" info window). I was trying to show the "Key Elements," and that was the best I could do when rearranging the windows. Even in the VNC instance, the screen was 90% of the original size, but I think that most can make out what's shown from the capture. To Keiran: even if you download Ubuntu and find that it doesn't work (as in you can't even burn the distro to CD), you might want to heed the advice of another poster: get a better writer and use better media (I think I saw your specs in another thread in the forum). Not to detract from the ImgBurn software, but even giving a couple more freeware burning apps a shot before making a major purchase couldn't hurt (to paraphrase dontasciime: "Google is your friend.") Maybe an issue specific to your current hardware setup is the source of the problem you are having with ImgBurn. Honestly, ImgBurn is one of the best apps (freeware or not) that I've used this year. I think it's awesome.

Imgburn is awesome no doubt about it, and i don't think imgburn has anything to do with my burning issue. the reason i asked the question was because there is knowledge of imgburn + other problems, such as crappy disk's and crappy burners.
