Very capable software of course, but to the people who keep telling me to "RTFM", I'm telling you: Not all of the settings are documented. And the interface is just silly. The first time I used the "Write" function, it completely appeared to me that the disc label was uneditable. But wait! You can right click that static-looking label name, and choose "Change" from a menu that (surprisingly) appears! Silly. I found a couple bugs having to do with the "Build" function as well. |

Does what I need it to do, quickly and easily without any bloat to block my path. Couldn't ask for more, on top of that its free. |

i'd really like an option to leave a disk non finalized (aka possibility to add files later) but this sw is incredibly genial |

Simply perfect. Far and out the best burning app for windows. At the moment, it is also the best burning app for Linux (it works perfectly under WINE), while K3B for KDe4 is still very beta, NeroLinux has some bugs and it's not free, while GnomeBaker and Brasero are both useless crap. Learning curve? Err, it's not a a robot, but it's really easy to understand and use, as long as you don't mind RTFM. |

Outstanding program. A few facts about ImgBurn here on FileForum: - Over 12,000,000 downloads - Over 900 votes - Average rating: 4.9 / 5 Enough said |
| TOM-CAT_Master | Jul 26, 2009 | 2.4.4.0 | 5 out of 5 |
ImgBurn is about a complete burning software. I believe a 2Mb software worth more than a big software like nero burning rom. |

Freeware, under 2 megs, and it handles all my disc burning needs, period. It's fast, it's safe, and the developer always brings a boatload of changes and improvements with each new release. I haven't needed Nero for 2 years now, thankyou, ImgBurn. |

The calculator did not add file sizes properly when selected to my new image. It's simple to use though... you just over fill image. Then when you deselect a file it doesn't calculate correctly. So you have to manually refresh the screen by closing the program, then you get the right answer. |

For a 1.4mb download, you can burn data (self compiled data), create isos and burn isos. That's what this program does and do it well. Not some bloated application that is over few hundred mb to install when you only need to burn something. If you want dvd authoring look elsewhere. This is the ultimate FREE burning tools. Period. @emanresU deriseD The interface is fine. Maybe you are looking for something like a mac/vista gui eye candy. I find it easy to learn and pickup the interface. It's straightforward and does the job. What is the value of your said interface anyway? And have you donated those value for this FREE software? |
| Zero-Point | Apr 22, 2009 | 2.4.4.0 | 5 out of 5 |
For those who may not have noticed: 1. this is NOT a complete disc burning/authoring application 2. this IS an disc image burning application Need it be stated more? uggh alright... Granted there are now a lot of options and not everything is documented, but there is not supposed to be much involved: 1. choose image 2. click burn This is the basis of this application if it not evident and that is the reason I love it; other features are supervenient. I'm surprised writing of files/folders has been added, but actually I like how it works from other burning apps. I can create a session to burn a directory even if files within that directory change or are added later. |
| Galway | Apr 17, 2009 | 2.4.4.0 | 5 out of 5 |
This is a gem of an application. Id give it 10 / 10 any day. Its on my network share, due to the fact its lightweight and does exactly what it sets out to do and is best of all free. If you cant use it, or don't know how then learn, its not rocket science. i have used nero for years, after creator mucked up, and now dont even use it. This application is awesome, even writes Wii images, but thats another story. XXXXX without a doubt. |
| emanresU deriseD | Apr 15, 2009 | 2.4.4.0 | 3 out of 5 |
It's stone cold reliable, but as others have mentioned, the usability needs a lot of work. Some real documentation would be nice, as well. This has nothing to do with being a DVD ninja master, but rather, it has to do with user friendliness, which some (though disappointingly few) people still put a value on. I find it amazing how many idiots think I am interested in "eye candy", or who think I can't make a valid criticism unless I've donated, or who think I am complaining that ImgBurn isn't as full-featured as Nero. People like this always imply that they are superior to others, when in fact, they are the opposite, because they miss the point. I guarantee that none of said idiots could explain any of the settings I'm unsure about. If this application works for you, then let me pause and clap for you. There, I clapped. Did you hear it? Oh well. If you have two brain cells to rub together, and agree that it would be nice to include at least a damned tooltip for some of the more advanced settings, then hooray for you. |
| gehtnix | Apr 14, 2009 | 2.4.4.0 | 5 out of 5 |
@ cowgar: why on earth do you start a "thread" about nero burning rom, telling us how good this app is and then expose yourself being a dunderpate by rating imgburn 1 star, just for being an application you don't know how to handle or explain it to your friends. oic - you said, you don't burn a lot. why burning at all? go and buy yourself a 16 GB usb stick... back to earnestness: i rated ***** in the past and rate ***** for the new version and say "thanks" to LightningUK for sharing this application with us for free. |
| KrzysiuB | Apr 14, 2009 | 2.4.4.0 | 5 out of 5 |
Nice proggie! My first contact was: "oh, jeez, where, what, can I, and how...? ;) But I give it a second chance, and third, and..., and now I can't find better stuff to burn for free! So, if u don't like ImgBurn, then try it another time, or... _buy_ Nero... ;p Greetz and respect for an Author/Coder and all crew, who helped that this poggie is what it is (sorry for my alien English) ;p |
| wyzwyk | Apr 13, 2009 | 2.4.4.0 | 5 out of 5 |
I've used this program for a while now and have never had a problem. It has been rock solid! Unlike the Nero BLOATWARE some people are so fond off Imgburn is small in size, and is llight on system resources. Also the developer works at improving this program all the time. Simply put, it's a very fine piece of software that I would heartily recommend to all......and it's free! |
| ballyhairs | Apr 13, 2009 | 2.4.4.0 | 5 out of 5 |
@cowgaR... Looking at your other reviews tells enough about you, I think you have some kind of disorder. I have been using ImgBurn for years now, never ever had error, easy to use, lite on system resources, constant improvement. Highly recommended. |
| cowgaR | Apr 12, 2009 | 2.4.4.0 | 1 out of 5 |
@gehtnix & all intelligent betanews crowd: instead of personal attack why didn't you write how to burn DVD->DVD on the fly in the year 2009 via this app? Thanks... btw, no-one denies Nero Burning ROM (not the suite) is the king in the industry. There's nothing wrong on comparing app to a legend Nero once was until version 6. (they've literally destroyed the pack later on but NBR remained the same, just with the feature added). If you can't handle a competition, go shoot yourself... And if you think going to 4 submenus just to selecting vital option is ok, then I wouldn't like to be designing GUI with you m8. And the fact that it doesn't produce quality burns as Nero is FACT! Tested. Last but not least, in a good application, there is no need to "explain to friends" how it works. They just figure it up. I rated it one just to weight all those 5 star ratings (otherwise I would put 3) as this app has lot to do with itself, too bad you don't see it. original review ------------------------ I used to like it, but anytime I've installed it to one of my heavy-burning friends they needed to return to an excellent and unbeatable Nero Burning Rom. Personally I don't burn much but they overhelmed me with hundreds of questions... how to burn DVD->DVD? how to burn "on the fly"? why do I need to wait 30 minutes to format the DVD when Nero can do it immediately (well, after 20-30 seconds of preparing the media)? why can't I make DVD Video disc from these files I've got stored on my HD, in Nero I just select DVD Video... and many other features, which are present in Nero and going to imgburn it is impossible to find them (unless someone has a climax going to one tab, another tab of that tab that will show a 3 radiobutons each with its own tab and THERE you can select vital option). also, complex preferences for this program are a joke to usability, many dialogs gets asked (Yes, freakingly YES I WANT THIS FOLDER TO BE THE ROOT FOLDER! Ok? you get it? really? because I've got it set in options and you're still asking like mad) again and again, and ergonomy is a strange word for an author... yesterday I was burning disc on friends computer, I've selected speed 4x/... and disc got burned at high speed... too bad I didn't read GENIUS explanation: speed: audio/data so It should be MAX/4x, well how logical... it isn't for a newcomer personally, I'm using it, I've ditched Nero long ago, but because I am using it I won't rate it high (I've done it in the past), as this program isn't improving on its usability side. Burning DVDs to DVDs on the fly is one big essential feature, and even such a stupid taskt this program isn't able to handle with easy, if... Nero suite sux badly, but Nero Burning Rom still rocks in interface, stability, robustness and easy of use. Too many times I've got not a problem burning discs with Nero and I still have problem using this proggie. One example? I've needed quality burns 2 weeks ago on Gold DVDs. I've fired up imgburn, selected speed 4x (as I really didn't want to go 8x because of burning issues on high speeds) and man, this proggie had a problems of keeping my drive on 4x! It somehow must ensure it will allways be 4.000000 not 4.1 so it is stoping the disc, starting it again, stoping... RESULTS? rails on the disc... Nero will never do that, one smooth burn. Sorry if that is not what you would like to hear, but that are pure experience of using this proggie on Vista for couple of months, and I don't think version 2.4 is an improvement in any area...(*edit* well, there are some improvements (well after a year!) in making Video DVDs etc. but they are all but intuitive). |
| berserkchaos | Apr 11, 2009 | 2.4.4.0 | 5 out of 5 |
G_D, you are right this program can make bootable CD/DVD... ¡¡¡UNLESS YOU USE THE OPTIONS TO MAKE A BOOTABLE CD/DVD!!! |
| johnk119 | Apr 11, 2009 | 2.4.4.0 | 5 out of 5 |
I've been using it since 2005 on and off, but more recently lately... It works well by itself or in combination with a dvd/cd authoring package... Great! |
| cory1492 | Apr 11, 2009 | 2.4.4.0 | 5 out of 5 |
G_D: it's in the (advanced)->(bootable disk) tab when using build image. You provide the premade boot image, or extract it from any available disk and it'll use it. ImgBurn has never failed me, nor failed to impress me. Definitely earns the 5 stars and is freeware, no less. Great work and thanks LIGHTNING UK! |
| coover | Apr 11, 2009 | 2.4.4.0 | 5 out of 5 |
G_D As distasteful as the name you've chosen to submit reviews to this forum may be, your review is even worse. This application takes .iso files and allows you to burn them to disk. If the .iso file is bootable, the disk will be bootable. I use both ImgBurn and Nero (7) and I find ImgBurn to be a much better application for this purpose. Nero, of course, is a better application for many other purposes (and is not free). |
| mflip | Apr 11, 2009 | 2.4.4.0 | 1 out of 5 |
This program can't create bootable DVD's or CD's? You know, like Nero can. At least there's no mention of how to do this on the developer's website. |
| roj | Apr 11, 2009 | 2.4.4.0 | 5 out of 5 |
The Gold Standard. Nero *has wet dreams* about being this useful and lightweight all at the same time. FIVE stars for excellence. |

This is my first choice when it comes to image burning tools. It beats every 'professional' (for pay) program I've ever tried. It does what it says, and does it very VERY well. Whenever anyone asks me what kind of burning software I use, I always recommend this one first. I have yet to have it fail -its outlasted 2 burners over the years, and no coasters have been produced by the software -ever. |
| war593122 | Apr 5, 2009 | 2.4.3.0 | 5 out of 5 |

This has been my preferred program,for a very long time (back in the DVD Decrypter Days), for burning CD image files. It has always worked well for me. My thanks to the author for keeping it updated. |
| ModderXManiac | Apr 1, 2009 | 2.4.3.0 | 5 out of 5 |
The best freeware app of it's kind, hands-down, bar none. New versions don't come very often but when they do; the results are enourmous, and amounts of changes and additions are phenomenal for a freeware program and would even impress me as a paid application. The best, as always, 5/5. |

I'd love to rate high. But I find this program confusing. Tried to create an image from files. Dropped a 400 MB folder into ImgBurn, it show just the folder name. The number of files and the % used bar remain unchanged. It is hard to navigate in the file layout on the DVD being built. May be it's good but the GUI is catastrophic. |
| gehtnix | Nov 28, 2008 | 2.4.2.0 | 5 out of 5 |
as i wrote "getting better and better" for version 2.4.1.0, i now would rate "6" if possible. unbelievable, that such a great burning application is released as freeware. this tool never gave me a single coaster, burns cd and dvd and is my favourite burning tool, since i don't use padus anymore. |
| iamnotyou | Oct 9, 2008 | 2.4.2.0 | 5 out of 5 |
Fantastick bit of software ... use it often with no problems ... small in size but has most all of the features I need. Thank you for your program! |

| bobad | Jul 23, 2008 | 2.4.2.0 | 5 out of 5 |
The hits just keep on coming! This is an unexpectedly fast and worthwhile update. Thanks LUK! I really like the new GUI, and the general direction in which the Dev is taking it. The only thing I really miss over my main burning program are Explorer extensions (right click context menu options). |
| DudeBoyz | Jul 23, 2008 | 2.4.2.0 | 5 out of 5 |
Outstanding that they have put out another update to this already awesome FREEWARE / NO NAG application. It just keeps getting better and better. I agree that some more detailed documentation would be appreciated, but given how many incredible functions this app has, and the fact that he has added an available "Wizard-like" interface and other ease of use improvements, I think it still deserves a full-on rating of 5. Thanks LUK, especially for the ability to Read multi-track disks and create an image from them, which was added in version 2.4.1.0. Now in ImgBurn 2.4.2.0, among other additions, you provide that new Drop Zone feature is pretty slick and easy to use. Yes, you can also drag and drop files to the Build or Write mode windows using the method below, but this Drop Zone thing may end up being just a bit easier for most folks. Here's how to do it the old-school way: Old Method Select files to add to build in Windows Explorer or another file manager. Hold Down Left Click and use the mouse to drag the cursor over the ImgBurn entry on the Task Bar and keep it there until ImgBurn becomes the active window, then while still holding down that Left Mouse button, drag the cursor up to the ImgBurn dialog and drop them there (release the Left Mouse button) |
| Undesired Username | Jul 22, 2008 | 2.4.2.0 | 4 out of 5 |
Nice, but some real, local documentation would be welcome. Many of the settings are pretty obscure and/or unclearly worded, and have not even a tooltip to give clue. (Note to the other reviewer: It doesn't have a "wizard-like interface". It has a startup screen that gives you a few options. Once you select one, you're faced with a litany of un- or poorly-explained options, as I mentioned. A startup screen is not a "wizard".) |
| Rafel | Jul 15, 2008 | 2.4.1.0 | 5 out of 5 |
This great tool and Infra Recorder are perfect for average users. Bloaterd suites with tools you never use? nop Little programs do they say, and perfect. |
| cvbusa | Jul 6, 2008 | 2.4.1.0 | 5 out of 5 |
ImgBurn 2.4.1.0 - great, small footprint application with basic CD/DVD iso burn/create/backup functions. No bloat like the typical 200 MByte suites that are available. Thanks to creator ... my $5.00 donation is in the mail ( PayPal ). |
| Trixilver | Jun 22, 2008 | 2.4.1.0 | 5 out of 5 |
Perfect. Everyone should have a copy. |
| zohan | Jun 17, 2008 | 2.4.1.0 | 5 out of 5 |
Absolutely perfect! FREE and EASY to use. I use it to burn dvds and not even the big boys can compete with IMGburn! I recommend donating to the developer, because if you can pay for stuff like Nero, giving some money to an individual developer shouldn't hurt. go to imgburn.com to donate...... |
| jcollake | Jun 10, 2008 | 2.4.1.0 | 5 out of 5 |
Yes, great software. We should all be supporting this project. |

Excellent burn program. Just like the previous poster said, I actually removed Nero and only use this one. |
| Ramhound | May 4, 2008 | 2.4.1.0 | 5 out of 5 |
Its always nice when a developer allows people to use his creation for free. I stop using Nero because it was really hard to get rid of. When you need a seperate program to remove every trace of it there is a problem with your program. Granted some of the tools that came with Nero are handy but they should be seperate programs. Anywas to the point I was impressed with this program and thus gave it a 5 star rating. |

| gehtnix | Apr 8, 2008 | 2.4.1.0 | 5 out of 5 |
getting better and better. i rate 5 for being one of the best burning apps for the win platform and being still free of charge. i'd recommend to donate the author a few dollars, euri or pounds, instead of using the "yes-i-have-the-working-nero-keygen" plus the bloatware it was coded for. great feature: use aspi, elbycdio or patin-couffin interface *g*. |
| klebel19 | Apr 7, 2008 | 2.4.1.0 | 5 out of 5 |

absolutely the best, compact and most versatile burn program around. goodbye Nero, welcome ImgBurn |
| zeeZee | Apr 2, 2008 | 2.4.1.0 | 5 out of 5 |
my 1 and only burn program i use after testing just about every one i could download. were there any bug fixes in this releases? or all "added" stuff. |
| Canuckistani | Apr 2, 2008 | 2.4.1.0 | 4 out of 5 |
The sketchy multisession support isn't a deal breaker for me. All to often I have found that, when attempting to add a new session weeks or months later, either a new session can't be written or writing a new session ruins the entire disc. Discs are cheap these days and spending 20 to 50 cents for a new compilation isn't going to break ones budget. Back when a CD-R cost five bucks a disc taking a chance with multisession was, at times, worth it but not any more I think. ImgBurn still needs some work but, overall, I'm quite satisfied with it. |
| jotte_ct | Apr 2, 2008 | 2.4.1.0 | 5 out of 5 |
I would also dump Nero or other burning software if this nice app would be able to handle multisession. But I guess, in that case, some company will buy it it freeware will be gone... I will rate 5 because it's free |
| GrantTLC | Apr 2, 2008 | 2.4.1.0 | 5 out of 5 |
Having tried the previous version I finally ditched my old bloated copy of Nero for this and haven't looked back. Excellent. |
| aszure | Apr 2, 2008 | 2.4.1.0 | 5 out of 5 |
Very nice proggie. Does what it says, and does it well. Been using it for awhile, and its just simple, easy to use and pretty solid. I dont experience any crashes and runs well even on a slower system. Of course this is with my configuration, your mileage may vary. |
| DudeBoyz | Apr 2, 2008 | 2.4.1.0 | 5 out of 5 |
It is good to see this app updated. Since he added the ability to create an image from a disk, I've been an even bigger fan of the program. And now, with the addition of the long hoped for Multi-Track read/rip feature, it truly is the best app of its kind, and it's still completely free. About the only thing I can think of wanting in terms of new features would be to broaden archive / image format support to include things like Apple HFS, DMG and other more proprietary and comnpressed image formats like DAA from PowerISO, UIF from MagicIso, etc. Massive props to LUK for changing his mind and making it Multi-Track capable. Absolutely fantastic. |
| boaz | Apr 1, 2008 | 2.4.1.0 | 5 out of 5 |
Excellent program. Does a great job, at what it is designed to do. I've been using this authors software for years. This is the burning engine for the famous (and banned) DVD Decrypter. Thanks Lightning UK! |
| gcaleval | Apr 1, 2008 | 2.4.1.0 | 5 out of 5 |
The continuing expansion of features and usability make this brilliant piece of programming to grow in value. This application stands up against any of the commercial alternatives and in my experience is much more likely to deliver a clean burn than either Nero or Roxio. If you are looking for a mass of tools to trim your photos or edit your video, you should be looking elsewhere (Paint.Net is great for photo work -- don't be satisfied with the stuff that comes bundled with commercial burners) But if you want an effective, easy-to-use and understand program to create your own disks, ImgBurn is the application for you. I simply love ImgBurn and salute the developers. Thanks Lightning for another fine release. |
| muka3d | Apr 1, 2008 | 2.4.1.0 | 5 out of 5 |
@auiotour: Just because you can't copy protected movies with software that's not designed to do that, doesn't mean you should give it a low rating. You can't even compare DVD Decrypter with ImgBurn. They have different purposes. One was for decrypting DVDs, the other is for burning images. And it does it extremely well. |
| Diam0nd | Apr 1, 2008 | 2.4.1.0 | 5 out of 5 |
Must-have? Yessir. |

This enables pirated versions of Super Smash Brothers to work on wii. It lets you set where the layer change is. |
| auiotour | Mar 28, 2008 | 2.4.0.0 | 3 out of 5 |
Doing tests versus DVD Decrypter (old version) DVD Decrypter rips faster on some titles. ImgBurn does not rip CSS/CPPM Copy Protection. Which I am running into a lot with Euro films brought to the US. |
| Psychocrusha | Mar 25, 2008 | 2.4.0.0 | 5 out of 5 |
I used to didn't care too much about this program, but now since the latest version, it is outstanding. Highly recommended. |

| cowgaR | Mar 19, 2008 | 2.4.0.0 | 5 out of 5 |
A REFERENCE in GUI & Application design. Plus it burns CD&DVDs ;) Plus plus the highly rated app on betanews ;) changelog (more detailed): http://www.imgburn.com/index.php?act=changelog sysinternal application quality with much better GUI (which Mark simply doesn't know how to do ;) Would be nice if there was a feature to burn Blue Ray discs (sadly HD-DVD died so we can miss this one;) for the dark (blue (sony)) "future"... |
| lotherius | Mar 9, 2008 | 2.4.0.0 | 5 out of 5 |
What more is there to say? I'm never installing Nero again! I don't need all the carpware that comes with the latest "suites", I need to be able to burn files and ISOs and that's what this gives me. |
| whatevers | Mar 7, 2008 | 2.4.0.0 | 5 out of 5 |
This can't get any better: - top burning quality - almost all files supported - compact size, no silly buttons and child animations - not bloated, zero PC impact without unnecessary features - straight, forward interface for the beginners, tons of options for the advanced users (it even searches for firmware updates for your DVD drives) - very active and supporting community edit for to reviewer grimpr: if you want to copy on the fly, inserts both disks on the drives, right-click the source disk on windows explorer, choose explore, launch imageburn, choose burn files/folders and drag and drop the source from windows explorer. This is on the fly |
| grimpr | Mar 5, 2008 | 2.4.0.0 | 5 out of 5 |
New version with huge changes for the better!, all it needs now is an on the fly 1:1 disc copy mode. |
| computershack | Mar 4, 2008 | 2.4.0.0 | 5 out of 5 |
Very very very nice. My very first time using it and it was extremely intuitive and took no working out at all. They've put some thought into the GUI unlike many FOSS projects. Excellent and well recommended. |
| The_Unknown | Feb 24, 2008 | 2.4.0.0 | 5 out of 5 |
The Best gets better!! Full of features and compact at the same time. |
| Chocobito | Feb 21, 2008 | 2.4.0.0 | 5 out of 5 |
Wow a complete evolution since last version. Now this software its near to perfection. |
| muka3d | Feb 18, 2008 | 2.4.0.0 | 5 out of 5 |
Beyond perfection. Lightning UK is quite possibly the best freeware software developer ever. |
| Animal Testing Rocks | Feb 12, 2008 | 2.4.0.0 | 5 out of 5 |
great, except this new version "adds" feature removals :( It would be even better with an enhanced Build Mode: being able to create virtual folders to organize the disc like I can with N3r0h |
| -Lord- | Feb 11, 2008 | 2.4.0.0 | 5 out of 5 |
If I could give this one a 10, I would. Too bad decrypter is not being developed anymore, but the capabilities of this program are stellar. With features like disk mastering and extremely small install and footprint, this one completely blows others, like Alcohol120%, away. |
| echohead | Feb 11, 2008 | 2.4.0.0 | 5 out of 5 |
nero plugin support in foobar2000 and dvd shrink (via neroapi.dll) is the ONLY reason i havent completely switched to using imgburn. |

The best of its kind |
| berserkchaos | Feb 11, 2008 | 2.4.0.0 | 5 out of 5 |
Waiting for compressed image support or on they fly copy. Even without those features it deserves a solid 5. |

Simply the best in image burning, period. Free or otherwise. There is nothing more to say, wish every software choice was this simple. |
| aking80 | Feb 11, 2008 | 2.4.0.0 | 5 out of 5 |
A must have on any system. |
| yokozuna | Feb 11, 2008 | 2.4.0.0 | 5 out of 5 |
Great tool and I fully agree with all reviews below. Actually I need only two features to replace any other burning tool I have on my computer with ImgBurn - convert image file to ISO - copy whole disc 1:1 (I know, I can make ISO first, and next burn it to disc, but i mean about one click solution) Maybe the features already are implemented but they were digged, I do notk now. If not implementing them should not be hard. |
| kiwibank | Feb 10, 2008 | 2.4.0.0 | 5 out of 5 |
"Added: Support for multi-session/track CD reading/burning"...i have been sooo waiting for this...well done...absolute freeware at its` absolute best... |
| bobad | Feb 10, 2008 | 2.4.0.0 | 5 out of 5 |
I'm happy to see that ImgBurn now has a pretty face. By adding the "EZ Mode Picker", ImgBurn went a long way to clean up the arcane user interface that has been keeping it from becoming more popular. Non-geeks may still find it a bit confusing to use, but I suppose it isn't meant for the mainstream user. If you open the install archive with 7-zip, you can extract only the EXE file, making the program no-install, and portable. I haven't noticed any loss of features from doing this. The program icon looks awesome on ObjectDock. An old standby just got better. Excellent release, try it! |

Pros: * Written by Lightning UK (of DVD Decrypter fame) * Burns virtually anything you can throw at it. * Very easy book type settings menu * Free * Lightweight Cons: * Are you serious? Folks this program is hands down, without a doubt THE best burning program around. get it now! |

I am selfish with time and therefore not much of a review writer. I had to write a review about this application though. It worked right away after installation. Have used it very little but interface is clean and user friendly. I wanted to burn an iso image for the Gparted-LiveCD linux partition application. Mission accomplished (after trying other applications which did not do job i.e Nero 5.5, Roxio Creator LE Dell Edition). |
| andrewbmoore | Nov 9, 2007 | 2.3.2.0 | 5 out of 5 |
Simple to use. Clean, fast and very robust. I use this software all the time to burn disk images and have never had a problem. I hope the author keeps maintaining this software. |
| CyberHobo | Nov 5, 2007 | 2.3.2.0 | 5 out of 5 |
This is it folks! A five'r from me. Many softwares never concentrate on fixing or optimizing their product. Their only interest is to give you some new goof-ball icons or maybe they'll throw in a tool bar of some useless sort and hound you for an upgrade fee. |
| sparskter | Nov 2, 2007 | 2.3.2.0 | 5 out of 5 |
The Best one... Let´s face it: no one likes BLOATED SOFTWARE!!! Nero is good and WAS lightware... Now is bloated... a lot!!! Someone said: Nero is trying to become an OS... The FACT: the less footprint, less CPU usage, less virtual m emory usage... THE BETTER! I DO NOT WANT BLOATED SOFTWARE! No one wants... Imgburn has all you need for burning your medias for FREE [CLICK ON THE ADS ON ITS HOMEPAGE!! LETS SUPPORT IT!] and is low system usage.. I REALLY like it.. 5++ |

| Zygi | Sep 4, 2007 | 2.3.2.0 | 5 out of 5 |
Still its a lot better then most commercial burning programs out there and i've used couple of them. Jim , the reason could be also in drive, my dvd-rw Lite-On isn't great and i got problems with many media (sometimes lowest recording speed isn't good and faster gives better results) even that i've updated drive with newest firmware. |
| tinkerdill | Sep 2, 2007 | 2.3.2.0 | 5 out of 5 |
with DVDFab trista and Jim, buy better if you want, this is freeware. |

| slinkys_delsol | Aug 16, 2007 | 2.3.2.0 | 5 out of 5 |
Dear "Jim" That would tell me that the CDs / DVDs you are using are probably bad. I have some old batches of 100 CD Spindles I bought years ago including an RW Batch that always gave me write errors no matter what Recorder / PC I used them in. Bottom line, some CD / DVD media is cheap for a reason... IT'S BAD! If you media is not the issue, then try updating your Drives Firmware. |
| Jim | Aug 15, 2007 | 2.3.2.0 | 2 out of 5 |
Seems that every time I get a new computer, or reinstall windows its not long before I need a burning program, I go on a freeware hunt, and with its high downloads and betanews rating this is one of the first I try. Problem is it never fails to make a coaster, and I usually end up settleing for ISO Recorder which is unfortunately feature limited. - BTW Why does it look so much like DVD decrypter, which almost always gave me the same problem when I tried to use it to burn? |
| ballyhairs | Jul 19, 2007 | 2.3.2.0 | 5 out of 5 |
Its the best image burner ever made, and it does burn img files. daemon tools + daemount + img burn are must have. |
| maize | Jul 17, 2007 | 2.3.2.0 | 5 out of 5 |
@rattuseth . Imgburn does burn img files. A mistake on your part? |

| grimpr | May 18, 2007 | 2.3.2.0 | 5 out of 5 |

| reynaldok | May 6, 2007 | 2.3.2.0 | 5 out of 5 |
This simply put is an AWESOME program.In build mode it even works with Video TS folders (freaking amazing)AND I've never had a problem with ANY disc burned that way.I donated ten bucks and would encourage everyone to donate something. |
| dhry | May 3, 2007 | 2.3.2.0 | 5 out of 5 |
Absolutely brilliant program. I know it supports reading to image and writing from image, so the only thing that I'd suggest is for an easy-to-use amalgamation of the two - a true "copy" mode. Insert source, remove source, insert destination, remove destination and you're done. THAT would earn a 6-star ranking in my book. |
| Corbit | Apr 19, 2007 | 2.3.2.0 | 5 out of 5 |
Does just what it's supposed to. If there were 6 stars, this app would earn all of them. |
| Gomez | Apr 15, 2007 | 2.3.2.0 | 5 out of 5 |
Its by far the best program to burn images.. its easy to use, free, clean and fast. what else can you ask? :D |

Solid as a rock. A must have. |
| ochentay4 | Apr 12, 2007 | 2.3.2.0 | 5 out of 5 |
this is by far the best app to burn cd & dvds. it lets you burn all types of disc images, has all types of options to play and try, it also shows you info about the discs you insert, what it is doing, change and view things while burning, and check firmware updates for any writer, and many many many more in a tiny download. one thing: its not for the average user, its for power users! the interface its not beatiful but very useful and it shows everything i want to know while, before and after its burning. |
| Hank.Riker | Apr 12, 2007 | 2.3.2.0 | 5 out of 5 |
A great follow-up to the amazing DVD Decrypter, Lightning UK keeps raising the bar on the quality of the software, as well as the interface design. It was a sad day when DD was removed from the world, but like a phoenix rising from it's ashes, ImgBurn is a fitting descendant. I highly recommend it, but try it yourself, and and you will see. |
| berserkchaos | Apr 12, 2007 | 2.3.2.0 | 5 out of 5 |
Don't know what to say... This app is great!!! |
| Mystiqq | Apr 12, 2007 | 2.3.2.0 | 5 out of 5 |
After noticing it supports direct burn, i thought there was only Files->ISO->Burn, ImgBurn pretty much replaced Nero. It doesnt support the more fancy stuff but i dont any use for those. No idea how the DL stuff etc. works since i only use single layer DVD-/+R discs. |
| dzjepp | Apr 11, 2007 | 2.3.2.0 | 5 out of 5 |
This is excellent if you want to burn image files. It's not a replacement for multi-format burning like Nero does though. I like using both apps. |
| Reverb | Apr 11, 2007 | 2.3.1.0 | 5 out of 5 |
Best free burning APP bar none. Comparable to Nero LITE. It's also portable!! I have run it from USB memory and Bart PE environment. |
| ModderXManiac | Apr 11, 2007 | 2.3.1.0 | 5 out of 5 |
I used to have Nero for iso burning alone, this does it soo much better, and for free! ...Not that I was one of the morons who actually BOUGHT Nero 7 :D Excellent app, developer support/response is superb, and to think 2.300 only came about about two weeks ago; look at all the changes! |
| twosheds | Apr 10, 2007 | 2.3.1.0 | 5 out of 5 |
If you have a lot of ISOs to multiple burn, this beats Nero easily. The only thing I don't like is having to press the 'This file is already in your burn list' thing when I am doing sequential multiple copies, but maybe they'll let me turn it off in options one day. |
| ballyhairs | Apr 10, 2007 | 2.3.1.0 | 5 out of 5 |
The best image burner on the internet... Nero??? go suck air out of weed!!! |

| Mystiqq | Mar 26, 2007 | 2.3.0.0 | 5 out of 5 |
Does exactly what it title says. Burns image files. Extremely light with very clean interface. Capable of doing most things releated to burning CD/DVD discs. |
| lostinlodos | Mar 25, 2007 | 2.3.0.0 | 3 out of 5 |
Great for a free tool, but just average compared to programs like Nero and ISOBuster. If all you want to do is burn, this is fine, if you want any real control try a full program. |
| boaz | Mar 23, 2007 | 2.3.0.0 | 5 out of 5 |
Excellent program for burning CD image files. I've been using it from the beginning, and always keep it updated. I like the "verify" feature, this assures perfect burns! |
| johnsahakian | Mar 23, 2007 | 2.3.0.0 | 5 out of 5 |
this is more than good.... superb software... just try it... more than 5 star... thank you imgburn |
| yokozuna | Mar 23, 2007 | 2.3.0.0 | 5 out of 5 |
What is new? Added: Parsing of the Joliet filesystem (in addition to the existing UDF/ISO9660 parsing) for pin pointing the file where a read error is occuring. Added: Ability to have the program use erase/format commands where DVD-RAM and BD-RE disc then give their full capacity to the user data area and do not keep any 'spare areas' for error recovery. (Potentially useful for PS3) Added: A little 'Erase' button to the main screen for easy access to disc formatting/erasing functions. Added: Support for images with a 2332 byte sector size (Easy CD Creator v5 ?) Added: Support for converting a few additional image formats over to the correct format for burning to DVD (Mode1/2048). Added: Import / Export of 'Automatic Write Speed' configuration. Added/Changed: If Build mode detects the file 'I386\NTLDR', it will automatically enable the ISO9660/Joliet options to allow file names without extensions. Changed: When files/folders are dragged + dropped into the source list in Build mode, they're now added to the MRU list - but only if 8 or less items are added at a time. Changed: When files added to the source list in Build mode via the 'Browse for file' button, they're now added to the MRU list - but only if 8 or less items are added at a time. Fixed: Browsing for (and opening) a file (especially in 'Verify' mode) could fail due to some garbage being appended to the filename. Fixed: A potential error when unlocking a volume from exclusive access when locking it had failed in the first place. Fixed: File/folder names parsed from the ISO9660 file system could have garbage appended to them if there was no trailing null. Fixed: Thread synchronisation issue where MD5 values might then be missing from the Log. Fixed: The first cell in an angle block was being ignored and hence never shown in the 'Create Layer Break Position' window. (The first should have been visible, but not the others) Fixed: The program displayed the incorrect 'previous' cell in layer break preview if the chosen cell followed one or more interleaved cells. Fixed: UDF Filesystem didn't allow for the ';' character in file names. Fixed: The 'Don't Prompt VIDEO_TS Content' option wasn't acutally using the answer specifed in the settings. Fixed: The Filter Driver Load Order page was listing 'Upper Class Filters - [None Found]' for an item that should have said 'Lower Class Filters - [None Found]'. Fixed: The wrong item in the Build mode MRU list could get deleted when the 16 item limit was reached. (Number 8 was deleted rather than number 16) GR8! |

I needed to quickly burn an ISO to a CD on my machine at work and did not want to install all the bloat associated with some commercial products. The time it took me to download, install, learn to use the software, and complete the burn took me at most 3 minutes. I attribute this to a very intuitive user interface design along with an excellent coding and testing team (or individual?). Great job! |
| muka3d | Feb 26, 2007 | 2.2.0.0 | 5 out of 5 |
Best burning program ever. Does basically everything you need it to, and it's small, freeware, and contains NO bloat! Software perfection! |

Dr Teeth says "over-rated". I'm dumbfounded. This application does everything it says it will do very easily, and it's free! There may be better. But how much better can you get? There may be easier, but how much easier is possible? This app is a 5. Heck, this app is a 6, a 7, an 8, or more. "Over-rated"? Bah! |
| ballyhairs | Feb 14, 2007 | 2.2.0.0 | 5 out of 5 |

| bobad | Feb 14, 2007 | 2.2.0.0 | 5 out of 5 |
This is just what I have been hoping for! I have always liked ImgBurn, and the ISO building is the piece de restiance! Now there is a portable 1-File Wonder that does all your burning chores! One can open the install file with 7-Zip, and extract the EXE file, and no install is needed. Copy it to your USB flash drive for complete portability My only wish is that ImgBurn have a "1-click burn", or "unattended" mode. This would enable 1 click on an ISO file. The click would open ImgBurn, automatically start writing it to the default burner, and automatically close ImgBurn when completed. |
| DrTeeth | Feb 14, 2007 | 2.2.0.0 | 4 out of 5 |
Good, but over-rated. |

This is just an awesome program. Now with the recent updates to this version, it has everything you need. I use this program daily & I could not do without it! :) |

He has finally added ISO READ / RIP to the program, meaning you can now RIP a data disk straight to ISO and burn it back again to make 1:1 copies. This long hoped for feature now makes the program compellingly complete. There is now a top notch and still FREE All-In-One app for the ripping, creation and burning of ISO images. No need to fork out $30-$50 for another app. This one seems now to be able to do it all. I've made bootable copies of my Bart's PE Builder CD and my Partition Manager Recovery Boot CD as well as a handfull of other 1:1 data disk backups, and so far it has worked flawlessly. If it did multi-session / multi-track rips, that would be even better, and perhaps he will add that one day. But for now, this is quite good. Outstanding feature addition now puts it right at the very top of "Must Have Apps". |

A near-perfect program in that it does exactly what you want it to, with no useless features, all via an intuitive interface. |

Excellent program works and its free. It burns fast and has i can always rely on it when other burn programs fail or come short. It also has an auto update feature built-in that will ensure you are running the latest build when you start the app. I highly reccommend this program. Free = yes reliable = yes spyware free = yes |

After spending $99 on Roxio Media Creator 9 which the website touts as having vista support, having the install fail, getting it on by running the MSIs manually, then having the "home" exe crash, as well as the 'Creator Classic' which I launched from the program files directory, I finally gave up and googled (once more) for an ISO burning app with vista support. CDBurnerXP Pro (freeware) also failed me. Imgburn installed without a hitch, it was easy to use with verbose information, burned a DVD ISO just fine and played a lovely island tune to let me know when its done. Now I can have a margarita and then take back Media Creator 9. |

Ravemanson - I see you learned the art of being polite at school, didn't you? Is it any wonder that more people don't offer their subjective opinion of new (or revamped) stuff when characters like yourself immediately pounce upon them and attempt to rip them to shreds? You've just made yourself look like a complete twat. Not everyone can afford/be bothered/need the likes of Nero and it's associated bloat to get the job of burning an image done. This is one of these extremely useful little utils for such people. It does the job and does it well. UNLIKE Nero which has recently suffered from a whole clutch of bugs. |
| ZenoLabs | Sep 12, 2006 | 2.1.0.0 | 5 out of 5 |
LOL ravemanson... just stay with your bloatware and go on thinkin' ImgBurn does just one thing... This tool rocks! \o_ |
| DudeBoyz | Sep 12, 2006 | 2.1.0.0 | 5 out of 5 |
Wow. Harsh, man. Hey, it's free, does a GREAT job at what it does do and it's pretty darn stable. I wish it did even more formats than it does so I would not have to get extra apps like PowerISO to decode the .DAA images, etc. Dude got totally shafted on the DVD Decrypter deal, and it is nice to see that he has been able to take some of that code and turn it into a very useful application. Also, one thing I'm really pleased about is that this app seems to be able to format my RW disks at times when no other app can even see the disks after a bad burn or a Macintosh burn. Good stuff. I hope he focuses on the useful feedback instead of hostile and ill-informed posts. If so, the app can only get better. Kudos LUK! |

Guys, for christ'sakes, i don't use Nero, it blows as well. What i'm saying is that ANY burning app (including FREE ones) can do much more than this crap. Sigh... Another waste of talent. If You got no problems with Your current burning suite then this is TOTALLY useless. Especially since You wouldn't download this in that case anyway. "This tool can only get better" is correct, cause this app has no reason to exist at the moment. "You can even use ImgBurn to erase / format your rewritable media!". Really!? With bloatware computers i guess You'll try anything. This is the most stupid review i've ever read: "One of the best, easiest to use, most straightforward CD/DVD burning programs I have ever used. When burning an image, why take the time to launch Nero or some other full-featured burning program when ImgBurn will do the task easier and quicker?" Of course it's "best", "easiest" and "straightforward", it does ONE thing. Why take the time to DOWNLOAD an application which is 100% useless when You already got an application installed which loads fast AND does "the job" fast? Idiot. |

I always use it for burning image files, there is a newer version of it though on their homepage.... 2.1.0.0 |

One of the best, easiest to use, most straightforward CD/DVD burning programs I have ever used. When burning an image, why take the time to launch Nero or someo other full-featured burning program when ImgBurn will do the task easier and quicker? I have been using this program for a long time and the new 2.0.0 version corrects all of the issues I had with it running on Vista build 5384. Great job! |

Looks decent, responds well, very little user interaction required, burns without any problems. Also no visible trojan embedded, scanned with Trend Micro OfficeScan Corporate Edition with Pattern 3.681.00 Engine 8.000. An update taken from their home page, please take note... Please Note: You may get a 'PECompact' virus warning from your AntiVirus software. This is a false alarm and will hopefully be fixed when they update their definition files. 'PECompact' is merely a compression program. |

I love this freeware-never ever had a problem. To OP - what trojan? I'm using Kaspersky & Norton [both current], and neither reported anything whatsoever. |

Easily the best simple ISO burning/creation tool I have ever used!! |
| yokozuna | Aug 6, 2006 | 2.0.0.0 | 5 out of 5 |
I think that ImgBurn is the best burning utility for Windows. The current release, in my case, eliminates need for other burning programs. My NEC 4771 burns DVD-RAM discs, which are good for temporary copies. If I want to burn something for good I use DVD+R. ImgBurn and UltraISO makes possible whatever I want (burning, image file conversion, image file edition). I only wish ImgBurn would allow burning ISOs on the fly (no, no I do not need any sessions, just burning ISOs on the fly). PS I just discovered it is possible: http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=1779 Sweet! |
| b0mmel | Aug 6, 2006 | 2.0.0.0 | 5 out of 5 |
Before this new 2.0 release it was the most powerful little tool to burn images. Now with the added authoring feature it is a complete burning solution. The interface looks good and is thought out. The entire program feels very solid and compact (zero bloat). |
| spiked | Aug 5, 2006 | 2.0.0.0 | 5 out of 5 |
This is really great to give your noob friends who keep trying to burn an ISO by adding it to a file system compilation in Nero or Roxio. If they can't get it right with ImgBurn, you need to find new friends. |

I use this tiny little proggie for about two years now and it´s the best i have ever used. Simple and small. It does what it does and nothing more. I´ll give it 5 / 5. |
| Kramy | Apr 13, 2006 | 1.3.0.0 | 5 out of 5 |
dwby: Actually, contrary to the below person I use ImgBurn because it does so well when I'm doing multiple things. DeepBurner, Nero, and CdBurnerXP all spit out useless CDs for me if I'm doing lots of things at once(game in background, torrenting, moving large amounts of data around on HD). For me, ImgBurn has yet to cause or have any problems. |
| dwby | Apr 13, 2006 | 1.3.0.0 | 5 out of 5 |
The best of the best! Wouldn't trust anything else with burning my ISOs etc! @anomoly "Apparently if you are doing other things on your pc while burning with imgburn it will/can fail." Everyone knows you shouldn't work at your computer while burning to a CD/DVD. It's just common sense. Not the programs fault at all. |
| photonboy | Mar 18, 2006 | 1.2.0.0 | 3 out of 5 |
I gave this a 5, but then I found out what others have: This program can idle requiring a reboot and loss of data. General burning suggestion: Reboot and don't have anything major running. |
| bufftbone | Feb 25, 2006 | 1.2.0.0 | 4 out of 5 |
I'd give it a 5 but it'll randomly get to 100% then not say the write process is complete. If I hit cancel or stop, it'll just sit there and not stop the burn. The only way to close the program is to bring up task manager and close the process that way. Then the only way to get the disc out and burn again is by restarting my computer. This program (different versions) as well as its' older brother program did the same thing. |
| anomoly | Feb 25, 2006 | 1.2.0.0 | 2 out of 5 |
With the last version, using a ridata branded dvd-r, I had to throw the disc away because burn was corrupted. Nero express has never done this & nero is what I have been using since. Apparently if you are doing other things on your pc while burning with imgburn it will/can fail. |
| ibod | Feb 24, 2006 | 1.2.0.0 | 3 out of 5 |
A pale comparison to it's forbear. In fact, more problematic for me as the cache constantly fills/empties which doesn't happen in the original program this one is related to. I applaud the developer for releasing this though and fart in the general direction of the oafs that caused the original to be removed. May their balls turn to cubes and the corners rot off. |

| speaker | Feb 11, 2006 | 1.1.0.0 | 5 out of 5 |
Excellent software which I now use to exclusively burn .iso files. This app burned perfect copies where Nero and ImgTool Burn failed. It was even able to cope with low-quality, damaged/scratched media that the latter two apps choked on. |
| bufftbone | Dec 31, 2005 | 1.1.0.0 | 5 out of 5 |
nice clean interface. DVD Decrypter was giving me problems lately with burning images. I'm glad to see this one work w/o a hitch. Burning with nero was such a pain (but did work for me). |
| fair_is_fair | Dec 27, 2005 | 1.1.0.0 | 5 out of 5 |
ImgBurn works! I've had so much trouble in windows lately trying to burn iso images. Deepburner and Nero were scr*wing up my cdrws and dvdrws. ImgBurn also erases rewritable disks well. Not one cd ruined thus far. Anyone know of something that will work with data and music files as well? |
| SirMango | Dec 23, 2005 | 1.1.0.0 | 5 out of 5 |
Come on, you didn't read the news?! Great software. Clean interface and lot's of features. This and Folder2iso is the free CD/DVD burning solution |

Top marks from me. I used 1.0 for a while, and never had any problems whatsoever with it. I agree that if it could also create images from media, that would be a dream. But as such, it already replaced Alcohol 120% and Nero for all my image burning needs. Highly recommended. |
| rav0 | Nov 11, 2005 | 1.0.0.0 | 5 out of 5 |
Simply awesome. Extreme ease of use combines spectacularly with advanced technology in this tiny tool. This program would benifit greatly from read not just write capability. Its sister program program DVD Decrypter (suspended) was designed as a DVD-Video backup tool, but [s]was[/s] is often used as an disk image utiliser for all kinds of CD and DVD disks. ImgBurn has great image burning, though for now image creation will be done elsewhere. |
