Imgburn

Imgburn is a program that will burn any image file into CD’s or DVD’s. It will burn ripped DVD images generated by DVD Decrypter or DVD Shrink. It will also burn to DVD or build an image from ripped VOB files on the hard drive.

Moreover Imgburn can burn 8 gigabyte double-layer DVDs. For these, it can either use the layer break in the IFO file (which can be user-specified) or it can calculate the best break location on its own.

This image burning functionality is provided by a number of commercial CD/DVD burning software, such as Nero. I like to use Imgburn because (a) it is a small program that works really well,

Freewaregenius 5-Star Pick

(b) it works with most CD/DVD writers, and (c) unlike those other burning programs, it is 100% free.

 

Version tested:  2.1.0.0

Go to the program download page for the latest version. The program home page.

    This is a very easy to use software, thanks man, it helped me burn the ISO image of DSL linux distribution onto a CD in something like 50 seconds and also verified the burn process. This program is a no brainer.

    Thanks

  2. Looks like a rip off of DVD Decryptor, looks almost EXACTLY like DVD Decryptor. Havn’t used the program, might give it a shot.

  3. Hello! Help solve the problem.
    Very often try to enter the site, but says that the password is not correct.
    Regrettably use of remembering. Give like to be?
    Thank you!

  4. No need to enter the site to download.
    Just click the links to go to the download pages on the program pages themselves.

  5. @James: It looks like DVD Decryptor because it’s made by the same person!

    superb s/w i was suffering from ‘power calibration error’ in nero 6 but when i used this first it showed the error but program adjusted itself and burn the files on DVD which nero was not able to do.

    gr8 s/w i am gonna uninstall nero

    10/10 for this very useful program

  7. Very interesting, thank you from russia!

  8. I don’t know how anyone can say IMGBurn is easy to use. I challenge everyone to ask someone who has never used it before, and these can even be people familiar with computers, ask them to copy a disc with it. Simple, right? Then ask them to burn some MP3s into an Audio CD. Simple again, right? You would think so.

    For the first one, get a watch out and see how long they look around for the expected “copy disc” button that doesn’t exist.

    Other than, you know, actually using it without reading the manual to do more than burn image files, it’s a good program.

  10. Wes, I couldn’t agree more! I’m in the ‘older demographic” and a computer novice. I downloaded Imgburn weeks ago but still haven’t figured out how to burn more than one item onto a disc. I’ve waded through the forum manual and numerous different help site I’ve found on the web but, as I don’t understand a lot of pc terminology, I”m still none the wiser.
