ImgBurn Editor's Review

There is no denying the growing popularity of cloud storage and external storage devices like USB pen drives and external HDDs among PC users but you will still find lots of people still using optical discs. There are plenty of users who prefer burning their favorite music tracks and movies on DVDS and CDS for playback on devices with restricted capabilities. There are plenty of commercial DVD and CD burning apps in market but you can also opt for capable freeware alternatives. One such example is ImgBurn. It burns discs in various formats and can read or create image files with perfection. Apart from standard ISO disk images it can read proprietary formats including Nero's .NRG and outshines expensive rivals.

ImgBurn is free for use but it is ad-supported. The app offers users to download apps that are actually unrelated. The installation is simple and at its end the app scans for updates online. It runs nearly all Windows OS versions including archaic ones like Windows Me. It supports 64 bit Windows versions too.
 
ImgBurn has a plain and simplistic interface, which makes things easy for beginners. There are 2 windows for viewing log details and performing actions in its UI. There is a drop zone for users so that they can drag folders and files for processing during hard disk navigation.

ImgBurn burns CDs, DVDs and Blu-ray in all flavors. It can also create image files from hard disc contents and extract image files from disc to hard drive. However, it does not support copy-protected discs. Beginners would do well to use the app’s Ez-Mode Picker view. This displays 6 main functions of the software in UI. Advanced users can tweak detailed settings. One nice thing about the app is that it has modest resource requirements.

As a matter of fact, the app offers extremely detailed settings for CD/DVD burning and image extraction or creation. The app lets you adjust specific technologies used by companies like Lite-On and Samsung while burning discs. To aid users with extensive datay burning needs, the app has a batch mode. You can burn single and dual layer DVDs, select file system and tweak restrictions. Like its commercial rivals, ImgBurn lets you run a simulation before actual burning process can initiate.

ImgBurn’s discovery module enables you to check the media devices at various writing speeds. Program activity is captured in the app’s log window and you may print it. ImgBurn is also capable of making bootable disc and erase rewritable discs. You can erase discs in either quick or full mode. The app also lets you change DVD region codes and look for firmware updates.

ImgBurn also lets you modify numerous program settings. For example, you may choose to disable Windows screensaver when the program is running. It can also be made to start with Windows and stay minimized at system tray.

Positive Points:
 -  Simple interface and installation.
 -  Plenty of disc burning settings.
 -  Boot disc creation.
 -  Wide OS and image format support.

Negative Points:
 -  Cannot extract copy protected disc content.

Conclusion:
ImgBurn is versatile and capable software that performs various disc burning and image creation tasks with ease. Its Ez-Mode makes executing disc burning and image related tasks simple for beginners. However, advanced users can tweak with oodles of settings offered by the app. From running tests to simulations, you can explore extensive features of the app. This freeware has features that many of pricier rivals lack. The low resource requirements and wide OS support makes the deal sweeter. Barring the exception of copy protected disc support, there is nothing that goes against this app.

Rating: 3.5/5







ImgBurn Publisher's Description

ImgBurn supports a wide range of image file formats - including BIN, CUE, DI, DVD, GI, IMG, ISO, MDS, NRG and PDI.

It can burn Audio CD's from any file type supported via DirectShow / ACM - including AAC, APE, FLAC, M4A, MP3, MP4, MPC, OGG, PCM, WAV, WMA and WV.

You can use it to build DVD Video discs (from a VIDEO_TS folder), HD DVD Video discs (from a HVDVD_TS folder) and Blu-ray Video discs (from a BDAV / BDMV folder) with ease.

It supports Unicode folder/file names, so you shouldn't run in to any problems if you're using an international character set.

ImgBurn supports all the Windows OS's - Windows 95, 98, Me, NT4, 2000, XP, 2003, Vista, 2008 and 7 (including all the 64-bit versions). If you use Wine, it should also run on Linux and other x86-based Unixes.

It's a very flexible application with several advanced features that are often lacking in other tools, especially when it comes to burning DVD Video discs. It supports all the latest drives without the need for updates (including booktype / bitsetting / advanced settings on many of the major ones - i.e. BenQ, LiteOn, LG, NEC, Plextor, Samsung, Sony).

There is an image queue system for when you're burning several images (which you can automatically share between multiple drives if you have more than one) and an easy-to-use layer break selection screen for double layer DVD Video jobs. The Automatic Write Speed feature allows you store your favourite burn speed settings on a per 'Media ID' basis, right down to a drive by drive level. Data captured during the burn (write speed, buffer levels etc) can be displayed / analysed using DVDInfoPro.
