• Added: Code to try and detect HD DVD and BD Video files in the 'Source' box within Build mode in the same way the program currently detects DVD Video files
• Added: If you hold down 'CTRL' when clicking the 'Image Information' button, the program will do a dummy decode pass on any audio files that make up that image to get an accurate duration rather than using DirectShow's GetDuration() function
• Added: Current LBA to the log entry when buffer recovery kicks in
• Added: You can now double click the layer break list entries to preview them
• Added: Support for 'MPA' as a known file extension for Audio files

• Added: New 'Don't Use Immediate I/O' option to the I/O tab in the settings
• Added: New 'Prevent Entering StandBy' option. When enabled, ImgBurn will attempt to stop the machine going into standby whilst it's burning
• Added: Workaround for Plextor PX-116A3 (FW 1.01) returning a single descriptor in the Formatted TOC
• Added: Detection of x64 versions of Vista

• Added: BenQ 'Clean EEPROM (Learnt Media)' option to the Advanced Settings windows
• Added: Choice of 'None' for the 'Shutdown Action' option in the settings - for people that click 'Shutdown when done' accidently and don't want it to do anything when they do
• Added: Additional logging when erase disc fails on CD-RW/DVD-RW/HD DVD-RW media
• Added: Additional error messages and logging to code the deals with analysing audio files
• Added: Option to automatically ignore failures when the close track/session/disc commands fail

• Added: Automatic creation of the 'CERTIFICATE' folder on Blu-ray Video disc in the same way the program automatically creates the AUDIO_TS folder on DVD Video discs
• Added: Support for (a version of) relative paths within MDS files
• Added: The 'Create DVD MDS File' feature will now store the relative path (assuming images are in a folder below the MDS) in the MDS rather than just the file name
• Added: The disc information text on the right of the main window now contains the 'Physical Format' information for each layer on double layer media
• Added: The 'Create DVD MDS File' feature now has the ability to specify the Track Path for a double layer image (PTP or OTP)
• Added: Regardless of the number of (silent) retries performed when attempting to lock the drive for exclusive access (it normally does 10), if it's been trying for more than 30 seconds the program will error out just as soon as it regains control
• Added: Media profiles for DVD-5 and DVD-9 to Build mode (useful for mastering)
• Added: Detection of BD Video content based on the BDAV folder (rather than just BDMV)
• Added/Changed: When setting the media type for the directshow conversion, the program now falls back to using WAVE_FORMAT_EXTENSIBLE if WAVE_FORMAT_PCM fails. This means filters that don't support WAVE_FORMAT_PCM should now work
• Changed: The 2 leftmost buttons (ignore and preview) on the select/create layer break windows now dynamically resize/reposition themselves base on their caption. (This is better for translated text)
• Changed: When setting write parameters, the 'Write Type' no longer uses fall backs - this was very messy and caused its own set of problems
• Changed: Workaround for when DS filters (or the libs they use) don't like SetPosition(0) when they're already at the start - issuing it can lead to missed audio samples
• Changed: The 'Temporary' booktype option no longer falls back to displaying the 'Permanent' setting if it's not supported
• Changed: Removed one set of calls to the 'Init DirectShow' function that would happen just before a dummy decode pass was run on the audio files - so it's a bit quicker now
• Changed: Updated ImgBurnPreview to v1.1.6.0
• Changed: Verify won't go ahead if the drive reports the track contains 0 sectors - otherwise the program would generate dummy data for the entire thing and that's 110% pointless
• Changed: Max buffer size is now 512MB
• Changed/Fixed: Made tweaks to ACM MP3 file parsing code to make it more reliable when searching for the frame header and to prevent a potential divide by zero error
• Changed/Fixed: Image/Media Information window is closed if the program fails to initialise the image
• Changed/Fixed: When building an OS installation disc, the DOS character set is now used and not ASCII
• Changed/Fixed: Improved support for writing Mode 2 tracks in TAO mode
• Changed/Fixed: Attempt to workaround drives reporting first track in a session starting before the actual session
• Changed/Fixed: Attempt to workaround decoded files that fall short of their estimated durations and cause any trailing/appended pregaps ('INDEX 0' markers in a CUE file) to mess up the internal image layout - which then leads to an error when sending the
• Changed/Fixed: When Previewing a Cell for the LB, the audio stream is no longer forced to 0x80, the program takes the number from the IFO
• Changed/Fixed: The 'Create DVD MDS File' function always made MDS files with the Track Path set to PTP
• Fixed: Removed the very well camouflaged button in the booktype window
• Fixed: Drive related buttons being enabled when no devices are present if you perform certain operations
• Fixed: What I believe to be a bug when trying to determine if a single source folder was anything to do with a BD video disc
• Fixed: The total count of file/folder names modified due to current settings wasn't 100% accurate due to the file name comparison not being case sensitive
• Fixed: Bug converting sector mode/form/size to an internal data type
• Fixed: Some odd issue when decoding certain letters (character codes) within CD-TEXT data on a disc or in a *.cdt file. (It would display a square box for the letter)
• Fixed: WavPack files were not being decoded during burning, they were being read as if they were PCM/RAW audio files
• Fixed: Incorrect 'Last Physical Sector of Data Track' value within MDS files for OTP discs
• Fixed: Aborting on an error during the audio file analysis stage didn't actually abort anything and having aborted, the error condition meant that future analysis wasn't carried out
• Fixed: Potential problem where ImgBurn might check for updates more often than it should do because the 'last update check' value isn't parsed correctly due to regional settings
• Fixed: The 'Write Queue' window wasn't being close when going between 'Write -> Read' or 'Write -> Ez-Mode Picker' modes
• Fixed: When converting the volume label from one file system to another (or applying a CLI specified one), the resulting name could turn out to be shorter in length than actually permitted
• Fixed: Problem where 'DecodedSize == 0' error could appear when DirectShow decoding failed and ACM worked
• Fixed: Building a DVD/HD DVD/Blu-ray Video disc didn't work properly if the files were in the root folder of a drive and the root folder was added to the 'Source' list
• Fixed: Odd looking configuration message if a root folder was added to the 'Source' list in Build mode and the folder contained DVD/HD DVD/Blu-ray files
• Fixed: WMA Tag parsing wasn't working - messed up text strings due to reading them with the wrong byte order
• Fixed: Incorrect values in 2nd layer descriptor within MDS for OTP discs
• Fixed: ImgBurn not respecting 'Top' and 'Left' coordinates of the desktop (i.e. the area excluding the taskbar)
• Fixed: One rogue structure used when parsing the UDF file system was limiting the file size to 32 bits (DWORD), meaning any file over 4GB would have been displayed incorrectly size wise. (Only caused a problem when mapping sectors with errors to file name
• Fixed: Memory leak if dummy audio decoding pass fails
• Fixed: Adding the content (files/folders) of a normal BDMV folder to the source box in Build mode didn't create the proper BD structure

Changelog for v2.4.1.0

• Added: If you don't enter a path for the file in Build/Read modes it'll use the 'Image Files' default one configured in the Settings (File Locations tab)
• Added: You can type a relative path into Build/Read modes destination box and it'll resolve it when you click Write/OK
• Added: Saving a project file now writes the previously selected LB info from the 'Create Layer Break' window. This can then be used when loading the IBB via CLI so the user isn't prompted to pick a LB, thus allowing for batch builds

• Added: A button in the settings to reset the burn statistics
• Added: 'Device.CDROM' Shell extension option where you get 'Read using ImgBurn' as an option when you right click on any CD/DVDROM drive. (It's off by default because windows appears to make it the default option - hence double clicking on the drive opens
• Added: Option to turn off the funny quotes on the Ez-Mode Picker screen. (For people without a sense of humour ;-) )

• Added: Support for reading unicode file names in MDS v1.5+ files
• Added/Changed: When running in 'Portable' mode, certain paths will be saved relative to the exe's folder if they're at the same level or below it. (i.e. 'D:\ImgBurn\Sounds\Success.wav' becomes '.\Sounds\Success.wav')
• Added/Changed: When build mode detects you're building DVD Video/HD DVD Video/Blu-ray Video/OS installation discs, it now tells you exactly which settings will be modified in the 'conflicting settings detected' message box
• Changed: When saving an project file, the initial file name is now taken from the image file name (but with an 'ibb' extension), falling back to using the volume label, then MRU value and finally just 'My Project.ibb'
• Changed: Handling of manually entered file names in build/read mode to parse environment variables
• Changed: Updated ImgBurnPreview.exe to the latest code - this one has support for audio
• Changed: If the bootable image (in Build mode) isn't a multiple of 512 bytes in size, the user can now choose to proceed anyway

• Changed: The folder 'IBG Files' now defaults to using the name 'Graph Data Files'
• Changed: The folder 'IBQ Files' now defaults to using the name 'Queue Files'
• Changed: Moved some of the 'select a folder' type options in the settings to a new 'File Locations' tab
• Changed: The 'Start' button in Read mode is no longer disabled when CSS/AACS protected media is detected. There's just a warning that it won't work (warning can be disabled in the settings)
• Changed: Date/Time pickers in Build mode now display the selected date/time according to the 'Short Date' format as found in Regional Settings within Control Panel
• Changed: Log entries for 'File System(s)' no longer translate the 'None' word when there's no file system present in the image. (The Log is supposed to be English)
• Changed: Removed the need for a second basic parsing of the file system on the disc when in Read mode (as the automatic destination file name was generated)
• Changed: Under Vista/2008, the Volume Label displayed by ImgBurn is taken from the 'File Set Descriptor' (when set) rather than the 'Logical Volume Descriptor' to match the behaviour of Windows
• Changed: 'DVD+R Reserve Track' is now enabled by default

• Changed: Optimised the code that checks for interfering programs so they're all done at the same time rather than individually
• Changed: Updated the code that checks for interfering programs to look for newer versions of DVD43
• Changed: Prompt user if auto retries of tray cycling still don't make the drive initialise the disc properly between write and verify
• Changed: Handling of the 'Delete the image when done' option when the image is a CUE file. The user can now delete the CUE without deleting the files it calls upon (if more than 1)
• Changed: The 'Open/Save As' file dialog boxes within the Log window now default to the 'Log Files' file location as specified in the settings
• Changed: The 'Open/Save As' file dialog boxes for IBB, IBG, IBQ and LOG files now default to the appropriate folder - as specified in the settings
• Changed: Some of the messages that can pop up when performing 'Display IFO Layer Break Information' on a drive so that they're appropriate for a drive rather than an image file
• Changed: Updated ImgBurnPreview to v1.1.1.0 - Based on Jeanl's latest code
• Changed: The log entry for 'BookType' now displays the permanent setting unless the 'Active Setting' is actually set to 'Temporary', in which case it displays the temporary one!
• Changed: Modified the names of the 'Browse for...' entries on the 'File' menu to make them less confusing
• Changed: 'Read Disc Information' command reverted to asking for 32 bytes of data, not 34. (Some dodgy drivers appear to hang when it's 34)
• Changed: Updated the installer to NSIS 2.36
• Changed/Fixed: Removed the double image file initialisation when trying to burn the currently selected file in Write mode when it wasn't actually marked as 'Queued' in the Write queue (i.e. having already burnt it)
• Changed/Fixed: The 'Automatic Change Book Type' option for NEC drives now sets the 'Active Setting' to 'Temporary' so the correct value is actually used
• Changed/Fixed: Tweaked some of the code that deals with expanding relative paths passed via CLI or stored within IBB project files
• Changed/Fixed: Most of the forms are now dynamically created at runtime as and when need. This cuts down on the resources used by ImgBurn (especially GDI objects) and speeds up the loading time. (GDI object count is down from ~1100 to ~550)
• Changed/Fixed: CD-TEXT options/controls in the 'Create CD CUE File' window are now disabled when the selected track isn't an audio track

• Changed/Fixed: When verifying, if the track on the disc is smaller than the one in the image file the user is asked if they want to continue or not. If they choose to, the disc's track is padded out (zero filled) to the size of the image file's track so t
• Changed/Fixed: Don't add the current image file name to Write mode's 'Recent Files' list when a 'Read' operation fails
• Changed/Fixed: The 'Delete image' button on the 'Insert next disc' window didn't prompt the user when deleting multiple files (like in a CUE with lots of audio tracks)
• Fixed: Incorrect handling of 'desktop' at the start of a destination image file path in Build/Read mode if it was followed by another folder name - i.e. 'desktop\new image\image.iso'
• Fixed: The default paths (i.e. before any settings have been read) were incorrect when loading the program with the '/PORTABLE' CLI switch
• Fixed: When writing a multisession disc, the 'Writing Session X of X' and 'Writing Track X of X' log entries weren't always being written if the session/track was small
• Fixed: A bug when attempting to send a CUE Sheet to the drive ending in the error 'SendCueSheet Bug! - CueSheetVariant 13' being shown
• Fixed: Wrong 'REM LEAD-OUT' entry in *.cue file when created using the 'Create CD CUE File' window
• Fixed: Better support for old drives that want weird LeadIn/LeadOut 'DataForm' values (non MMC compliant values) in the 'SEND CUE SHEET' parameter list
• Fixed: A bug preventing the 'Logical Volume Identifier' field in the 'File Set Descriptor' from being updated when changing the volume label of an image
• Fixed: The Layer Break 'Preview Selected Cell' feature didn't always work when working with Image Files/Drives - the preview window would take ages to appear and the 'ImgBurnPreview.exe' process would need terminating via Task Manager

• Fixed: Various problems when using the legendary 'old skool' Plextor SCSI CD-ROM drives
• Fixed: When SAO wasn't available and the program fell back to using TAO, multi track images weren't burnt correctly. (They came out as 1 long track because I'd made no effort to make it work properly!)
• Fixed: The 'Add file or folder to source list' button in Build mode was being enabled after 'Calculate' even when there was no text in the field to it's left
• Fixed: Access violation when you're in Build mode with Device output and you press 'Cancel' on any of the prompts that come up before the build actually starts
• Fixed: A problem where ImgBurn could get stuck at the start of a read/verify operation
• Fixed: When reading a disc using only ISO9660/Joliet file systems (no UDF) from DVD+RW/DVD-RAM/BD-RE the image would be 1 sector too short
• Fixed: Divide By Zero bug if you terminate a verify operation whilst it's still analysing the tracks on a CD
• Fixed: Memory leak if you cancel the 'Open' file dialog box from within the Log window
• Fixed: A problem where a file name such as 'desktop\image' in the Read mode destination box was not being parsed correctly to have 'desktop' replaced AND the '.iso' file extension added
• Fixed: The 'ACM' audio decoding fallback method wasn't working - acmStreamConvert failed
• Fixed: CD-TEXT info at 'Disc' level wasn't always added to the CUE file made by the 'Create CD CUE File' feature
• Fixed: When warned that 'Test Mode' *might* not work with the current media (and the user accepted the warning), it was actually being turned off rather than being left on
• Fixed: The 'Changer Control' buttons were sometimes being disabled when they shouldn't have been
• Fixed: 'Retrying (x of y)...' was wrong in the log when close track/session/disc failed at the end of the burn. x was always 1 number too big
• Fixed: No image being added to the combobox on the medium changer control window when running under Vista
• Fixed: The 'Medium Changer Control' feature didn't work properly on Vista/2008

• Fixed: Read modes 'Default Destination - MRU' option wasn't working

Changelog for v2.4.0.0

• Added: AutoPlay options for the following events: HandleHDDVDBurning, HandleBluRayBurning, PlayCDAudio, PlayDVDMovie, PlayHDDVD, PlayBluRay
• Added: Version information to the installer exe
• Added: 'ImgBurn Projects...' option to the 'Help' menu. (This points to the 'IBB Projects' folder in the users 'Application Data\ImgBurn' folder)
• Added: If the automatic check for updates feature fails, an entry is added to the log to show that it failed
• Added: Support for the new 'Verify Not Required' (VNR) flag in the 'Write 12' command when BD-R media is being used. This comes under the 'FastWrite' option - i.e. when FastWrite is enabled, this flag gets set
• Added: 'Open With' shell extension option in the Settings window. When enabled, ImgBurn lists itself in the manual 'Open With' selection window that you can have pop up on files with unknown file extensions
• Added: Warning message if burning to DVD-RAM / HD DVD / Blu-ray when 'Test Mode' is enabled saying that it might not be supported and data could actually get written to the disc. (seems to vary between drives - certainly with DVD-RAM anyway)
• Added: New CLI option '/IGNORELOCKVOLUME' that causes the program to automatically ignore any failure to lock the drive for exclusive access if the error code is 'Access Is Denied'
• Added: A new hint to the error box when attempts to lock the drive for exclusive usage fail, the error is 'Access is denied' and 'wmplayer.exe' (Windows Media Player) is open
• Added: Tooltips to the listbox in the 'Create DVD MDS File' window for items that are longer than the box. (For some weird reason the scrollbar can't scroll far enough on vista even though the calculation for it's limits is perfect on all previous Windows
• Added/Changed: When drives are on the same SCSI ID, the program will fall back to sorting them by drive letter and finally by name when the 'Device -> Sort Order' is set to 'Address'
• Added/Changed: The 'auto set booktype' code is now called again if the disc finalisation fails - otherwise the drive appears to forget what it's been told to do
• Added/Changed: If Build mode detects the file 'I386\NTLDR', it will automatically enable the ISO9660/Joliet options of allowing files without extensions
• Added/Changed: Read mode's Destination 'Save As' dialog window now also includes filters for .BIN and .IMG files. Defaults to .BIN for complex CD discs and ISO for everything else
• Added/Changed: Build mode's Destination 'Save As' dialog window now also includes filters for .IMG files
• Added/Changed: Optimised the file I/O buffering when writing to a hdd/removeable drive
• Added/Changed: The IFO modifying code as part of LB selection has been updated to handle LB cells where the previous one has a Cell Command associated with it that's just a NOP
• Added/Changed: Read mode has gone back to remembering the destination path of the image you just read and using that instead of a new one it would normally calculate. The 'old' path is only used if the current disc has the same volume label, same creation
• Added/Changed: The 'Graph Data' folder is now created if it doesn't exist Added/Changed: Build mode now groups files by an entire directory (including sub directories) rather than doing it by directory level (as it did previously). There is a new option to make it revert to doing it by directory level
• Added/Changed: 'DVDPreview' code updated to include latest fixes and option of Real-time (normal film FPS) playback speed in the layer break preview window
• Added/Changed: Tweaked the error handling of the code that sets the layer break on the disc. You can now actually abort the write operation if it fails (abort/retry/ignore options are provided)
• Added/Changed: When typing into ISO9660 fields, spaces are automatically translated to underscores
• Added/Changed: When 'Delete Image When Done' is enabled in 'Write' mode, the program will prompt the user before deleting anything if there are more than 10 files to delete or if any of them are in the supported audio files list (i.e. APE, ACC, FLAC, OGG,
• Added/Changed: Sector Viewer now remembers/restores the current 'scroll' position when changing sectors
• Changed: Build mode won't use current inserted media's layer break info during calculate/write if the media isn't empty - it'll stick with the default values as taken from the 'Media' tab
• Changed: Updated some of the booktyping/advanced settings stuff so it reports the error if the actual command fails
• Changed: Rewrote the function that detects if a given process (name) is running - used to detect programs the can interfere with certain program operations
• Changed: The Quick Edit 'Destination' field in Read mode (double click the file name label) is now a combobox and maintains a history of previous file names (taken from 'Recent Files' list)
• Changed: Destination files names chosen in Build mode are now added to the 'Recent Files' list in Write/Verify mode
• Changed: Destination files names chosen in Read mode are now added to the 'Recent Files' list in Write/Verify mode
• Changed: Updated the installer to NSIS 2.34
• Changed: Updated the exe compressor to UPX 3.02
• Changed: 'Calculate MD5 Hash Values' now defaults to OFF. It's less work for the app to do and will reduce latency between reads/writes because of that
• Changed: Optimised the filesystem parsing code
• Changed: The 'Install for All Users' option in the installer will record the current users 'check for updates' setting in HKLM\Software\ImgBurn. Other users (on a multi-user PC) will then use this value rather than using the program's default value
• Changed: The images used in the log window to the XP versions (32bit colour + alpha channel)
• Changed: Done away with the 'ReadAhead' caching part when parsing the file system as it often meant far more was being read than actually necessary
• Changed: Optimised the 'last resort' (fallback) image analysing code so it should be a bit quicker now. (This is the bit that runs just before it pops up the 'Invalid or unsupported image file' message)
• Changed: The IFO modifying code as part of LB selection has been updated to leave all the other cells alone if the one selected is already marked as non-seamless. (Chances are that it's the original LB cell and so the others don't need / shouldn't be modi
• Changed: Fine tuned some of the 'Recent Files' stuff so images created in 'Build' mode are added to the 'Write' mode recent file list at the end of the build. Same goes for 'Read' mode (at the end of the read!)
• Changed: Verify mode now defaults to reading Audio at MAX speed instead of 8x
• Changed: The destination 'browse' button in Read mode now has the same popup menu as the one in Build mode (i.e. with 'Change Drive' and 'Recent Files' options)
• Changed: The destination 'file name' label in Read mode now has a new popup menu with the options - 'Edit' and 'Copy'
• Changed: Read Error retries are now handled / logged in the same way Write errors are (i.e. 1 log entry per retry - so we can see exactly what's going on and why it failed)
• Changed: 'Clipboard' button in the 'Filter Driver Load Order' window to say 'Copy To Clipboard'. I noticed people didn't instantly get what it was for, hopefully that'll change now
• Changed: Updated the 'Display Graph Data using DVDInfoPro' icon to the current one use by the actual program
• Changed: I/O Debug mode is now automatically disabled whenever the program is closed - so it's then not active the next time ImgBurn is loaded
• Changed: Removed the 'I/O Debug Mode' checkbox from the settings window. (It's only available via the F8 key now)
• Changed: UDF File Set Identifier now defaults to using the volume label field rather than 'UNDEFINED'
• Changed: Button height is now the Windows standard 23 pixels rather than Borland standard 25
• Changed: Optimised 'Duplicate File' detection code

• Changed: Renamed the 'Create Boot Image' option on the 'Bootable Disc' tab in Build mode to 'Extract Boot Image' and changed the layout slightly
• Changed: Handling of file extensions / initial file names in the 'Save As' dialog boxes used in Read and Build modes (for the destination file)
• Changed: Tweaked some of the code used to find interfering programs
• Changed: Changed the nsis installer script so it enhances the ImgBurn entry in Add/Remove programs (offering web/support links and making it 'Remove' only etc)
• Changed: Browsing for a destination file in Read or Build modes no longer adds the selected file to the Write mode MRU list - the file is only added after the actual Read/Build
• Changed: Build mode no longer automatically changes settings when it finds 'I386\NTLDR', it prompts the user first if a certain few settings aren't configured correctly and could produce a non-working disc
• Changed: Ignore miscompares in 'Optional EDC' area (last 4 bytes in the sector) in Mode 2 Form 2 tracks during a Verify if the bytes in the file are zeroed out
• Changed/Fixed: TOC information ('track mode') is now reported as-is and is no longer using info obtained via 'Read Track Information' (which I've now seen to return bogus/different info)
• Changed/Fixed: Certain unicode functions have been tweaked to allow for file/path names longer than 'MAX_PATH'. They should now support upto 32767 characters rather than 260
• Changed/Fixed: The ISO9660 file/folder entries within the file system have been made more compatible with certain players
• Changed/Fixed: Program should have complained if you tried to burn an unsupported format to DVD/HD DVD/BD and then quit early
• Changed/Fixed: Program would keep asking (for each track) if you wanted to burn data of the wrong format (but stuff that could be converted) to DVD/HD DVD/BD
• Changed/Fixed: Tweaked the 'Supported Write Speeds' code to not give odd values from certain drives
• Changed/Fixed: Updated the forms to use 'TUIStateForm' instead of 'TForm' as their base VCL control so it fixes an issue on Windows 2000 (or Windows XP without themes) to do with focus rectangles
• Changed/Fixed: Context menu option (in Write/Verify modes) to change the volume label no longer appears when it's not possible to do so (i.e. when the image has no supported file systems)
• Changed/Fixed: More registry calls that access HKLM\Software so it changes both branches under Wow64 (x64 OS's)
• Changed/Fixed: When loading an IBB into Build mode via CLI, the other CLI parameters are now processed both before (to correctly configure things like file system etc) and after the IBB has been processed. (CLI parameters therefore take priority over thos
• Fixed: Refresh issue with changing the volume label on small images where the app was reading the old label from the cache rather than the new one in the image
• Fixed: Read mode not maintaining the correct 'Track Path' value within the MDS file
• Fixed: Verify could fail with miscompares when converting some images on-the-fly
• Fixed: Some option reading the ISORead value rather than the ISOVerify one (can't remember which one exactly doh!)

• Fixed: It was possible to right click the volume label text in 'Read' mode and bring up the 'Change Volume Label' box
• Fixed: A byte in the data/time field within PVD of ISO9660 FS was incorrect when NOT specifying a value
• Fixed: Dodgy wording in the prompt when you check the 'seamless' box on the layer break dialog
• Fixed: The program wasn't always correctly locating the file system in images where the data track was offset in the file. (i.e. it didn't start right at the start)
• Fixed: When analysing an image the program could potentially use (read from) cached data when it wasn't valid for the area being requested
• Fixed: 'Read' option in the 'File' menu wasn't hooked up to anything
• Fixed: Arithmetic overflow operation when pre-allocating files - they weren't being made with the correct size if over 4GB
• Fixed: Using the wrong functions to work out conversion from KB/s to read speed (i.e. 2x) on HDDVD and Blu-ray discs in code that checks if the requested read speed matches the real one the drive says it's using
• Fixed: Bug in the graph data (IBG file) code where it was (could be) writing incorrect values for the 'speed' in Verify and Read modes
• Fixed: Flashing progress bars under running Vista. (Borland's problem, not mine!)
• Fixed: The 'Apply' button wasn't being enabled on the 'Change Volume Label' window when enabling/disabling Unicode support
• Fixed: The UDF volume label wasn't being updated (via the 'Change Volume Label' window) if all you'd done is enabled/disabled Unicode support
• Fixed: UDF Volume Set Identifier is now filled out in the correct format using the volume creation date/time rather than the value of GetTickCount()
• Fixed: 'Read' mode thought it was ok to read from an unformatted BD-RE disc
• Fixed: The program should not display 'Supported Write Speeds' on BD-ROM media
• Fixed: 'Duplicate File' detection code could end up setting some files with an LBA of 0 if the 'real' file hadn't been assigned an LBA yet
• Fixed: The 'Open Containing Folder' button in Verify mode is now only enabled when a file has been selected/loaded
• Fixed: The 'Open Containing Folder' button didn't work during verify unless actually being done from Verify mode

• Fixed: When looking for modified filenames in build mode (due to various file system restrictions), the check was not case sensitive
• Fixed: TOC display in the info window on the right of the main screen wasn't showing (larger than normal) 'PreGap' areas for anything other than the first session. (This is where the 1st track in the session doesn't begin right at the start of the session
• Fixed: 3.3x was being filtered as a 'Supported Write Speed' (available on some 8x DVD+RW in certain drives) and showing as 3.4x instead

Changelog for v2.3.2.0

• Fixed: Drag + Drop of a folder containing an .ISO and a .MDS file (of the same name*) should have been filtering out the ISO and just adding the MDS
• Fixed: The 'Remove All' button in the 'Write Queue' window wasn't being enabled when it should have been

• Changed: Some internal workings of the 'Check For Program Updates' code
• Fixed: Access Violation error when doing an 'on the fly' DL burn in Build mode
• Fixed: DVDRAM discs formatted with FAT32 were always seen as 'empty' and so no 'overwrite' prompt was displayed if you tried to write to them

• 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/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: 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.

• Added: Ability to preview Cells in the Build mode's 'Create layer break position' dialog box (or doing it via Tools -> ISO -> Display IFO Layer Break Position). This uses PgcEdit's little PgcEditPreview.exe file
• Added: Option of Standard/DOS/ASCII characters set for ISO9660 file systems. (previously only Standard/ASCII was supported)
• Added: Ability to build ISO9660 file systems where files can have no extension at all (not even a '.' (dot))
• Added: Options to disable warnings when checking 'seamless' or 'don't update ifo/bup files' boxes in the layer break dialog windows
• Added: Options to automatically check the 'seamless' and 'don't update ifo/bup files' boxes in the layer break dialog windows

• Added: Build mode now has the ability to look for and optimise duplicate files so that only 1 copy of that file actually exists in the ISO/on the disc
• Added: /EJECT CLI command
• Added: 'Auto Change Book Type' option to the settings. This is only used for LG and Samsung drives. When enabled (default), it will make the program send the appropriate command to tell the drive to booktype the disc to DVDROM at the start of every burn -
• Added: Ability to insert a layer break position in the MDS file made by the 'Create DVD MDS File' tool
• Added: Early warning message on DVD Video builds where the files are probably too big for the destination DVD media

• Added: When the book type commands fail, the 'reason' (I/O SenseArea interpretation) is now also displayed in the messagebox
• Added: Support for Vista's new 'OnDVDArrival' autoplay stuff - so it now says 'Burn an Image' (using ImgBurn) as an option when you insert a blank DVD. (This had already been implemented for OnCDArrival and I had assumed it would apply to both - it didn't
• Added: Support for showing supported write speeds on CD
• Added: Support for identifying DVD+RW DL booktype

• Added: 'Free Space' to the info page in build mode - used as part of the 'Calculate' function
• Added/Changed: 'Preferred Format Capacity' value to info window for rewritable media. This value is now used during full erase rather than the maximum one
• Added/Changed: A little workaround for a glitch in Vista with windows using a non resizable frame under the Aero theme. Pixel 0, 0 is not the absolute top left of the window - making the window appear off the screen
• Added/Changed: The shutdown options / API's now use the 'FORCE' flag if ImgBurn detects the computer is 'Locked' - this can be disabled in the settings
• Changed: Only the first cell in an angle block is now shown as a potential layer break. Other cells in the block take on the same SPLIP flag as the first Changed: Check for updates defaults to 'Weekly' now. (Beta versions still do it every time it's started)
• Changed: 'Time' column header in layer break dialog boxes to say 'Start Time'
• Changed: Some of the 'Program Update' code to hopefully reduce the chance of getting a cached response when checking for version updates
• Changed: When looking for firmware updates, only the model is now passed to the www.rpc1.org search engine rather than make + model
• Changed: On a fresh install, people with over 1GB RAM get a 40MB buffer, not 20MB
• Changed: Process priority for Verify mode now defaults to 'Normal'
• Changed: Some of the little hdd/cdrom pictures to their XP equivalents
• Changed: New images for the column sort arrows shown in the Queue window (Applies to all OS's prior to XP - XP handles arrows by itself). The previous ones were not very clear
• Changed: The icon on the DVDInfoPro buttons so it matches the new one used in the latest version of the program
• Changed: Samsung 'change book type' screen always used to say the current setting was DVDROM. This was 'forced' because the drive doesn't appear to report the current value. ImgBurn now tells it like it is
• Changed: BD-RE Full Erase code now also writes 0's to all the sectors on the disc. Unlike with DVD+RW erase, the drive doesn't do this automatically
• Changed: The exe is now compressed using UPX 2.92 (beta). This new version appears to fix the Windows 98 crashing bug that plagued it previously and UPX doesn't suffer from the XP crashes that PECompact does
• Changed: Update to using NSIS 2.23 for the installation program
• Changed/Fixed: There wasn't anything 'logged' when a file wasn't readable when building an image in 'Build' mode
• Changed/Fixed: Errors caught during the sync cache / disc finalisation stages were not taken into consideration when deciding if the burn succeeded/failed
• Changed/Fixed: Loads of stuff for Blu-ray media / burning. (BIG Thanks to SVP for letting me borrow a drive!)
• Changed/Fixed: Some bits for HD DVD media / burning
• Changed/Fixed: Now only single session/track data discs can be processed by Read & Verify modes
• Changed/Fixed: Unless the user specifically overwrites an image in read/build mode, the MDS file will not overwrite an existing one with the same name - it'll rename / create a new one in the 'filename(x).ext' format
• Fixed: IFO parsing code wasn't processing VMGM / VTSM cell info properly (well, ok, at all!) and so they'd show up as non seamless when they shouldn't have in the layer break selection boxes
• Fixed: Build mode's layer break code was a little too good at skipping analysis of files it didn't think would work - as such, some perfectly valid potential layer break positions were missing from the dialog box
• Fixed: Bad/failed copies in a multi-copy queued burn were not being taken into account when decided whether or not to delete an image based on the 'Delete the image when done' setting
• Fixed: The Patin-Couffin I/O interface caused BSOD's on Windows 9x. This is probably due to changes in the driver as 9x used to use different code to NT. ImgBurn now uses the same code for all OS's. Tested with v36
• Fixed: UDF Version was displayed using OS's regional setting for a decimal place rather than being fixed as a '.' (dot)
• Fixed: Drag + Drop of folders into the write queue could lead to duplicates if a .DVD and .ISO were present in the same folder and had the same name (well, first part anyway!)
• Fixed: Times were wrong in layer break dialog for PGC's using multiple angles
• Fixed: Having 'Auto Calculate' enabled messed up builds initiated via CLI
• Fixed: The 'Verify Against Image File' option in the settings (Write tab) had no effect on the 'Build' Mode virtual image and so a verify always compared the burnt disc to the original data
• Fixed: Just adding VIDEO_TS type files to the source box in Build mode failed to build a DVD Video disc (after you answered 'yes' to say that's what you wanted to do). The operation was aborted instantly
• Fixed: /LOG CLI command didn't work if the program was already auto saving the log somewhere due to normal option in the settings (Events tab)
• Fixed: Pasting text into ISO9660 volume label boxes allowed for characters that should have been restricted (it bypassed the normal checks)
• Fixed: 'Weekly' and 'Fortnightly' were round the wrong way in the 'check for program update' option drop down box
• Fixed: Couldn't just specify a filename (no path) for the /SETTINGS CLI 'File Name' argument. It would save ok but wouldn't load
• Fixed: LBA offset was wrong in one of the UDF descriptors if the file descriptors for a given directory spanned multiple sectors. (Some OS's didn't then show all the files)
• Fixed: Starting the build/write automatically via CLI could mean the autoinsert thread was run after it should have already been terminated. This could cause errors to pop up as the disc continued to burn (so not really damaging anything)
• Fixed: Memory leak if you used the 'Create DVD MDS File' tool
• Fixed: Incorrect decoding of I/O errors when using the 'Write (12)' command
• Fixed: A couple of glitches in the GUI on Vista
• Fixed: A problem where the MD5 hash wasn't always calculated/displayed in the log after a burn/verify etc
• Fixed: The open file dialog boxes now have the places bar down the left hand side on Windows Me
• Fixed: 'Chapter' column in layer break dialog boxes was showing a number with a base of 0, instead of with a base of 1 - i.e. it was 1 too low
• Fixed: Layer break positions in the list view were only sorted by LBA and those with the same LBA could appear in the wrong order - LU / PGC / Chapter / Cell wise
• Fixed: Tools -> ISO -> 'Display IFO Layer break position' could start with part of an internal (to the program) string in the 'file' box
• Fixed: Open/Save File dialog boxes were not resizable
• Fixed: The AutoPlay (on insert blank cd/dvd) 'Burn Image / Build + Burn Image' entries were passing the drive letter with the '/SOURCE' CLI parameter rather than the '/DEST' one
• Fixed: Some memory leaks when closing the program down on Vista (with UAC enabled) due to it not being able to write certain registry entries
• Fixed: Lots of error catching code so Borland's internal exceptions are deleted properly and not 'leaked' when the program closes
• Fixed: Some issues to do with the 'DVDRAM / BD-RE FastWrite' option
• Fixed: Old CD-R/RW drives that don't report the current media properly would cause ImgBurn to prompt the user to select which type of media they wanted to erase - when CD-RW was the only one it could ever be
• Fixed: Discovery mode's 'Sectors' box wouldn't accept a large enough number for use on large discs - i.e. HD DVD, Blu-ray

Changelog for v2.1.0.0

• Added: The 'Sync Cache' command now auto retries when it fails with the error 'Logical unit not ready, Long Write in Progress'
• Added: If you load an IBQ (ImgBurn Queue) file and one (or more) of the image files don't exist, you can choose to locate them elsewhere - incase you renamed / moved them
• Added: Ability to add ';1' (known as File Version Number) to the files in the Joliet filesystem. This 'should' only be done for ISO9660 filesystem files but some players are buggy
• Added: Ability to auto queue images created in Build mode
• Added: The 'save on exit' option for the log now has the ability to append to an existing log file. The log is now save by default on new/updated installation and is set to append to a single file
• Added: Additional logging for when the 'Create Boot Image' operation fails
• Added: Option to apply the 'Delete Image' setting to the other selected images
• Added: Buttons to the bottom of the queue window for applying the current settings (i.e. those of the first selected image in the list) to all the other selected images
• Added: Option to sort Queued images by their parent folder name (NOT the full path, just the folder name)
• Added: Info about total number of queued images remaining and total number of copies remaining to the burn queue window
• Added: An alternative 'Padded' MD5 calculation for when burning + verifying an image on DVD+R media where the drive automatically pads the image so the last sector is divisible by 16
• Added: Right click the 'Browse' button in the destination box (in build mode) and you'll get an option to swap the drive of the current path - it'll also show you all drive names / sizes (same as how DVD Dec used to do it when you right clicked the actual
• Added: 'Stay On Top' to the system menu of the main window. (Left/right click the top left icon in the Windows caption bar)
• Added: ISO Build mode can now be told where to put the DVD Video type content within an image (start/mixed/end) - really only applies to when you also have normal DVDROM content to add to the image - the default is 'mixed'
• Added: Support for listing the Manufacturer ID of BluRay discs
• Added: Various options for how often the 'Check for program update' code should run. Choices are: Daily, Weekly, Fortnightly, Monthly

• Added: Buttons to copy volume labels to the other file systems - i.e. from ISO9660 to Joliet and UDF
• Added: Info about current status of 'IFO/BUP 32K Padding' option to the image details message box that pops up just before the build starts
• Added: BD-RE has been added to the existing 'DVD-RAM FastWrite' option. This prevents the drive from performing its own internal write + verification, leaving verification down to the software
• Added: '/CLOSEINFO' CLI command to allow closing of the application once it has written the info file (based on '/INFO' CLI command)
• Added: '/ROOTFOLDER' CLI command to allow bypassing of the prompt about a single folder representing the root folder
• Added: '/NOSAVESETTINGS' CLI command to prevent the program from saving the settings when it's closed
• Added: '/VOLUMELABEL_ISO9660', '/VOLUMELABEL_JOLIET' and '/VOLUMELABEL_UDF' CLI commands for people that like to have different volume labels for each file system in 'Build' mode
• Added: '/PRESERVEFULLPATHNAMES', '/RECURSESUBDIRECTORIES', '/INCLUDEHIDDENFILES', '/INCLUDESYSTEMFILES', '/INCLUDEARCHIVEFILESONLY' and '/CLEARARCHIVEATTRIBUTE' CLI commands to allow maniplulation of core 'Build' mode settings
• Added: Build mode can now be passed multiple folders/files via cli using the '/SOURCE' argument and by using pipes ('|') to separate file/folder names within the quotes
• Added: '%B' to the default IBG file naming options. This is replaced by the date in YYYY/MM/DD format
• Added: Option of automating the answer ('Yes' or 'No') to the 'Root Content' question in Build mode
• Added: IBB files now also support the 'Bootable Disc' tab settings in Build mode
• Added: Option to have the most recently used tab remembered / restored within Build mode

• Added/Fixed: Files with the 'Hidden' attribute set are now marked as 'Hidden' within the image file that Build mode creates
• Changed: The 'Change Volume Label' dialog box has been redesigned so it's more like the one that pops up when you build an image without specifying a name
• Changed: Some of the pictures on the 'start' buttons have been replaced so they all match. i.e. no more picture of a hdd - it now shows a picture of an image file
• Changed: The 'Media' tab in ISO Build mode is now hidden when outputting to a 'Device' rather than an 'Image File'. It does not apply when outputting to a 'Device' because it's all automatic
• Changed: 'Create/Select Layer Break Position' dialog boxes are now resizable
• Changed: All the 'Media Control Notification' stuff has been rejigged so that windows can detect when the media/media content has been changed if the program isn't doing anything important like burning/erasing etc
• Changed: The Queue window is now reopened (if appropriate) after inserting the next disc for a queued burn
• Changed/Fixed: When a build is cancelled and an incomplete file is deleted, the empty folders were also deleted without warning. You're now asked if you want to remove empty directories
• Fixed: UDF filesystem wasn't using the 'Creation Date' specified in the options for volume dates
• Fixed: Statusbar stayed showing '0% - Creating Boot Image...' even when it had finished if the boot file was really small
• Fixed: Verify mode wasn't showing the correct 'progress' values (sectors, size, time etc.) for some CD images
• Fixed: Layerbreak code in ISO Write mode wasn't correctly being told about fixed layerbreaks - as found on DVD-R DL
• Fixed: Jumping focus bug when selecting items in the burn queue that had certain option enabled
• Fixed: It was possible to click the big 'Write' / 'Build' / 'Verify' buttons twice and get 2 lots of threads running doing the same thing. The buttons are now disabled the second they're clicked
• Fixed: UDF backup anchor could end up in the wrong position due to automatic drive padding on DVD+R when the total image size (in sectors) is not divisible (exactly) by 16
• Fixed: When doing queued burns (shared between multiple drives), the taskbar button would flash forever until the program was made the foreground app (by clicking on it). Now it stops it flashing once the 'Auto OK' thing has kicked in and it's no longer w
• Fixed: Some of the 'open file' dialog boxes could attempt to take on default file names that they shouldn't have been (i.e. ones internal to the program)
• Fixed: Path names with trailing back slashes weren't accepted/used by build mode when passed using the '/SOURCE' CLI command
• Fixed: In Build mode, double layer images requiring a lot of padding (to make it 50/50) and at the same time making use of 32k gaps could end up with layer 1 being larger than layer 0 and layerbreak LBA positions shown in the 'Create layer break position'
• Fixed: Incorrect offset in IFO when a gap was added between IFO and BUP (i.e when there's no, or a small, VOB file)

• Fixed: PECompact virus warning from some AV software
• Fixed: 'End Of File Reached' error message when verifying some really small images
• Fixed: 'On Startup' option of setting the 'Build Mode' (i.e. what it outputs to - device/image file) didn't work
• Fixed: Incorrect custom file/folder times due to daylight savings being applied once within the image and then again by the operating system as the end user views it

Changelog for v2

• Added: 'Build' mode for creating ISO's from files on your hard disk, or burning them direct to a disc.
• Added: Capturing Processor usage is now optional.
• Added: Option to change the thread priority of the 'Graph Data' thread. Might give more accurate results on some PC's.
• Added: Workaround for Windows Vista where the system tray icon wouldn't display the initial (top most) 'Restore ImgBurn' item because it had the 'Default' flag set.
• Added: Additional variations of the 'Send Cue Sheet' command when the initial attempt fails.
• Added: If 'Send Cue Sheet' now fails because the drive is sooooo old it doesn't support SAO burning, the program will revert to TAO.
• Added: Option to make Verify mode just test readability of the disc itself and not verify against an image file.
• Added: Verify mode now reports (for all modes) the file mapped to any unreadable sector at a given LBA address.
• Added: Buffer Recovery (+ user configurable threshold settings) for times when burning and hdd goes mental, meaning device buffer empties. This means less start / stopping for the drive.
• Added: Option to set read speed for Verify mode (any type of verify, in the case where it's being done after burn etc).
• Added: 32bit colour Icons to the icon used for 'default' file associations.
• Added: When the program needs another disc as part of queued burns (and it's not the foreground window), it now flashes the taskbar button.
• Added: A rating system to the layerbreak positions/screens. Should make it easier to pick the best one.
• Added/Changed: The 'Wait For +RW Background Format' option into a 'Prefer Properly Formatted +RW' option. When checked, the program waits for background format to finish and will also prompt to format (before writing) any disc that's in the 'Formatted: No' or 'Formatted: No (Started)' states. When unchecked, it will only prompt when in the 'Formatted: No' state (i.e. when it really has to format).
• Added: 'Mark as Burnt' to the Queue window context menu.
• Added: New startup screen on OS's supporting layered windows.
• Added: A new item to the main menu called 'Output'. This is visible in ISO Build mode and lets you switch between building to an image file or doing on-the-fly to a device (drive).
• Added: '/VOLUMELABEL' CLI parameter for ISO Build mode.
• Added: '/NOIMAGEDETAILS' CLI parameter for use in ISO Build mode. Does the same thing at ticking 'Don't Prompt Image Details' in the settings.
• Added: '/OVERWRITE' CLI parameter for use in ISO Build mode.
• Added: Support for detecting device arrival / removal.
• Added: 'Copies' to the main window - as such, logic behind queue has had to change (as has the Queue window).
• Added: '/COPIES' CLI command for use in ISOWRITE mode.
• Added: Ability to load/save settings to a '.ini' file. File name passed via '/SETTINGS' CLI command or will default to 'ImgBurn.ini' in the exe's directory.
• Added: 'Eject Tray' checkbox to all the transfer screens. Whatever that box is set to is now what the program does at the end of the burn (or burn + verify).
• Added: Additional MD5 calculations to Build/Write/Verify modes where I thought they'd be handy - logged when operation completes successfully.
• Added: Ability to eject the tray after write ONLY when there are additional images in the queue.
• Added: Copies + speed info to the burn progress screen.
• Added: Support for '.IBB' files - these are plain text backup project files. See 'ReadMe.txt' for additional information.
• Added: Support for '/FILESYSTEM' CLI command for use in ISOBUILD mode.
• Added: Support for CloneCD's updated version of my old '.dvd' file (from DVD Dec days) where it also contains layerbreak information.
• Added: More image info to verify / write main screens (to fill empty space!) - due to additional real estate needed for 'Build' mode.
• Added: Files > 1GB and that have sizes divisible (exactly) by 2048 are now just always accepted for burning - regardless of presence of 'supported' filesystems in the image.
• Added: 'ImgBurn Statistics' to the 'Help' menu.
• Added: '/LOG' CLI switch to auto save the log to specified file (overrides setting / filename in settings window). vAdded: '/INFO' CLI switch to save Info panel information to specified file the first time a disc is fully recognised / checked.
• Added: The installer now writes out the options (Desktop/Quick Launch icon etc) to the registry so those options are preserved if you install again.
• Added: Ability to Load/Eject disc from Queue window.
• Added: Improved file association removal code within the uninstaller.
• Added: List of (supported!) file systems used within an image to the log and to the tooltip on the volume label.
• Added: Ability to sort the queue asc/desc by clicking on the column header.
• Added: Workaround for some old drives that wouldn't report a disc as being erasable.
• Added: Option to ignore IFO/Filesystem layerbreak positions and revert to VOBU/ECC scanning.
• Added: Option to set the chosen layerbreak position as 'seamless' via a checkbox in the 'select layer break position' / 'create layer break position' dialog boxes.
• Added: Option to tell the program NOT to update the IFO/BUP files.
• Added: Verify mode can now collect data / produce IBG files in its own right.
• Added/Changed: Use of ComboBoxEx for device dropdown lists when running under Vista. The standard customdraw ComboBox didn't theme properly.
• Changed: Processor performance counters are now initialised earlier to reduce the delay when the 'GraphData' thread starts.
• Changed: Even when you load the ISO rather than the MDS file, the MDS (with the same name) will still be deleted if you opt to delete the image.
• Changed: IBG files are now made to version 2 specs. You'll need an updated DVDInfoPro to view them.
• Changed: Max speed can now be 33% larger than the average value (was 20%) - otherwise it's ignored - probably a spike.
• Changed: Shortcut keys for modes/log window/queue window have been changed - forced due to nature of keypressing in new 'Build' mode. Old shortcuts do still work for Write/Verify/Discovery modes though.
• Changed: 'L' and 'E' on Load/Eject buttons have been replaced by some pictures.
• Changed: Updated 'ReadMe.txt' file with new CLI stuff.
• Changed: The little picture of the drive in the device dropdown boxes is now greyed out for all devices except the active one.
• Fixed: Drag + Drop of some items could look like it was going to work (going by the mouse cursor) but then didn't actually do anything (Effected Build mode's 'Source' box, the 'Queue' window and the 'Create DVD MDS File' window).
• Fixed: When setting SPLIP flag in IFO/BUP files as a result of layerbreak stuff, it now checks the previous cell doesn't have a cell command before doing so.
• Fixed: MSF values found in the 16 byte header of some CD sectors sizes (as part of internal conversion routines) were being calculated/stored in normal decimal format, not BCD (binary coded decimal).
• Fixed: Selecting 'Incremental' and burning a CD meant all kinds of weird things happened. As Incremental doesn't work on CD (or at least not in ImgBurn), it'll always force SAO mode burning.
• Fixed: Transparency problem with the 48x48x32 program icon.
• Fixed: Unfinalised multisession discs where last session was empty were reported as being totally empty - meaning the program didn't prompt to erase them - meaning the burn then failed.
• Fixed: Couldn't open read-only files (via the 'Open' dialog box) using Windows 98.
• Fixed: Problem with non all-numeric OS 'short dates' in IBG files. The export function would bomb out because Borland's Date/Time functions wouldn't convert the string (taken from the IBG) back into a 'TDateTime' object. i.e. '2/July/2006 12:00:00' would fail where '2/7/2006 12:00:00' would work fine.
• Fixed: Error message boxes shown from within threads did not stop other windows from becoming inactive.
• Fixed: Problem where freshly formatted +RW media with unreadable sectors (not normal!
• probably means burn will fail anyway) was not considered as writable.
• Fixed: (Workaround) For a problem with Borlands resource compiler where icons have their index's messed up - this stopped the icon for file associations from working properly.
• Fixed: Problem with Queue sort order not resetting when going between 'sort by name' and 'sort by name (ignore path)'. Fixed: Unnecessary creation of reg keys for file types where association was disabled.
• Fixed: 'Standard' user accounts got errors when closing the program down (failing to set file associations) - Maybe it is just visible in Vista?
• Fixed: Problem updating volume labels in UDF filesystem if previously there was no volume label at all.
• Fixed: Acceleration character (an '_') was shown in the Queue window for images containing an '&' in the volume label or file name.
• Fixed: IBG CPU % usage stats on non English PC's.
• Fixed: Incorrect 'Start In' property for shortcuts/icons created by the installer.
• Fixed: Incorrect conversion of UDF revision field resulted in some weird values being reported.
• Fixed: Problem where displaying IBG file with minimum required version of DVDInfoPro would show an error.
• Fixed: IBQ files couldn't be loaded from the CLI and still keep all the correct settings - selected device info was lost.
• Fixed: The Log window's open/save dialog boxes used the 'filename' path (part of internal structure) as the default folder, rather than the 'initialdir' path - so they didn't default to the correct 'Most Recently Used' folder.
• Fixed: Compressing the exe with PECompact meant the 2nd application icon was compressed and so didn't show up for associated file extensions.
• Fixed: Deferred errors caught by the 'WaitImmediateIO' function were not being correctly copied to the parent function - this could cause a crash.
• Fixed: File Association code wasn't clearing up the registry properly.

Changelog for v1.3.0.0

• Added: New 'Sector Viewer' feature - within the 'Tools -> Drive' menu and the device context menu
• Added: Log windows 'Save As' box now defaults to/remembers the last folder you saved to
• Added: 'Open File' / 'Save File' / 'Browse for folder' dialog boxes are now centred when displayed

• Added: Support for newer LiteOn drives & their new features in the 'Advanced Settings' window
• Added: 'UDF Revision' of the Image file to the log and to the tooltip/hint of the volume label text shown in main window
• Added: 'Volume Identifier' (aka. volume label) of the Image file to the log when burning / verifying
• Added: Device Buffer and CPU % Usage to IBG data file
• Added: Ability to remove the warning about overburning for people that use it all the time
• Added: Support for setting the action to be performed when the 'shutdown computer' box is ticked. Options are: Log Off, Restart, Turn Off, Stand By, Hibernate
• Added: New context menu to 'Shutdown Computer' checkbox (visible when burning / verifying). This provides a shortcut to the 'Shutdown Action' options
• Added: 'Layer Jump Recording' has now been fixed (Thanks to a nice man at LiteOn) and is no longer always disabled. Due to the weird way it works, it's actually very pointless and not at all what I originally thought/hoped it was
• Added: Ability to disable the 'Shutting down...' window that lets you abort the shutdown
• Added: '/IBG ""' CLI parameter. This will make the program export the graph data to that file when it finishes burning/verifying
• Added: Setting ImgBurn to be the default program for the selected image file extensions now refreshes the Shell Icon Cache to you can see the changes without a reboot
• Added: A few more errors codes to where the automatic tray cycling code comes into play between writing and verifying if there is an error
• Added: Errors are now looked at/checked for when using certain lengthy commands - i.e. Sync Cache, Close Track / Session / Disc. This now works for those where the 'IMMED' (immediate) bit is set - i.e. after burning. Previously, errors during these stag
• Changed: Default IBG naming to something more useful
• Changed: Tweaked the 'max speed' capturing code a little more to help reduce the chance of 'spike' speeds becoming the max value
• Changed: 'Layer Jump Recording' warning message has been replaced by a 'Layer Break on DVD-R DL' warning
• Fixed: Stupid problem with the OS caching the image file as it's read into the internal buffer. This often lead to running low on memory and hence use of the hdd swap file - causing major buffer problems for some people
• Fixed: /TESTMODE CLI switch bypassed the normal checks for 'Test Mode' not working on certain media - i.e. DVD+ format discs
• Fixed: Bug with 'Open/Save File' dialog boxes being open and still being able to close the program from the task bar. This often led to an internal never-ending loop somewhere
• Fixed: Compressing the ImgBurn.exe file with UPX caused problems (BSOD's) on Windows 9x so this will not be used again. PECompact will be used instead
• Fixed: 'Delete Image when done' being unchecked on queued images as a result of resetting the controls on the screen ready for the next image
• Fixed: It wasn't possible to click the 'Write' button if the currently selected drive wasn't in the 'ready' state - even if that drive wasn't used by any images in the queue
• Fixed: Problem with using CVS version of NSIS installer on Windows 98. The Welcome / Finish screens were not displayed correctly
• Fixed: Problem with updating the IFO files when burning DL images where layer break position needed to be moved
• Fixed: The 'Shutting down...' window had problems when triggered by the 'Shutdown computer' option visible when burning
• Fixed: CD MDS files weren't being accepted as valid single session / track MDS files - when really they were
• Fixed: Discovery mode's Verify was including the 'parse filesystem' code - which of course failed as it's not a real image

Changelog for v1.2.0.0

• Added: Queue can now switch drives/write speed on a per image basis
• Added: Verify now displays which file the error was in - if/when a miscompare occurs
• Added: Filesystem parsing within Image Files has been improved to include the ISO9660 FS too
• Added: A check for AnyDVD / DVD43 (displayed as 'Interfering programs') - as they could potentially modify data when it's being verified - resulting in a 'Miscompare' error
• Added: 'Sort By Name' to context menu in Queue window
• Added: 'Sort By Name (Ignore Path)' to context menu in Queue window
• Added: 'Image Files' as an option for IBG default path options within the settings. This means the IBG gets put in the same folder as the source Image file
• Added: %V to custom IBG filename options within the settings. %V stands for 'Volume Identifier' A.K.A. Volume Label
• Added: 'Compress Spaces' to custom IBG filename options within the settings
• Added: Ability to click column header in Queue window and have it 'sort by name'
• Added: Ability to tell Write mode to tell Verify mode to not compare against the file - so it behaves more like 1.0.0.0 where it just checked the sectors could be read
• Added: Ability to have Verify mode ignore non user data within sectors. i.e. So with Mode1/2352 images, it only compares the real 2048 user data bytes
• Added: Support for loading / saving IBG v2.0 files - to take into account the new options for queued items
• Added: '/TESTMODE' CLI switch
• Added: Settings fixing/deleting within the installation program depending on current action (downgrade / reinstall / upgrade)

Changelog for v1.1.0.0

• Image Queuing
• Verify Mode
• Discovery Mode
• IBG Files / Write Speed Graphs

Changelog for v1.0.0.0

• Added: Much improved ISO (DVD Video) image double layer burning. The image is now parsed, the IFO file scanned and the 'seamless playback linked in PCI' flag read/updated to find the best place for the layer break.
• Added: Changing the volume label of an ISO image via the 'Tools' menu will refresh the one displayed on the main screen if it's the same file.
• Added: 'Device' to the information area in ISO Write mode during burning.
• Added: Alternative method of 'load/eject' for drives that dont support 'immediate' command execution.
• Added: 'Display IFO Layer Break Information' to new Context menu to 'Sectors' label.
• Added: Tooltip to log windows when the line the mouse is hovering over is too long to fit in the window. The tooltip contains the full line!
• Added: Possible workaround for drives that randomly return 'Unknown' for 'current profile' that then leads to DVD+R/+RW discs not being finalised.
• Added: Support for *.GCM images.
• Added: Retries (10) to the 'CreateFile' API call when doing the 'Search for SCSI / ATAPI Devices' thing using SPTI as the I/O Interface.
• Added: Log entry explaining in plain english that when you get a 'createfile failed!' message in the log, it means the drive WILL NOT be visible in the program.
• Added: Log entry when FSCTL_LOCK_VOLUME fails with 'Invalid Function' error. Means drivers dont support it, and therefore need updating. I now mention this in the log.
• Added: The reason behind FSCTL_LOCK_VOLUME failing to the log.
• Added: Option to not have the program wait for the background process of formatting a DVD+RW.
• Added: Support for detection of DVD+RW DL media.
• Added: Sarcastic message when people try to load IFO/BUP/VOB files for burning.
• Added: CLI switch '/LAYERBREAK' to allow 3rd party apps to pass the layerbreak LBA directly, rather than manipulating the registry.
• Added/Fixed: UDF File system error detection when file potentially use 32bits to store their size, rather than the 30 they're supposed to use. A dialog box now comes up if this is detected and asks the user which 'size' they'd like to use - the 30 bit version or the 32 bit one.
• Changed: Layer break info now shown for DVD-R DL media.
• Changed: Tooltips - so they're displayed for 5 seconds instead of 2.5.
• Changed: Hitting 'retry' during a write error will no longer perform X number of retries (as specified in the settings). It'll just do the 1 now!
• Changed: Layout of drive compatibilities page.
• Changed: (for the moment anyway) Write parameters are now sent again for DVD+R burns. Some older drives had problems when they weren't sent.
• Changed: No more forcing of dismounts on the volume when the disc is ejected. They cause other problems.
• Changed/Fixed: Aborting a write operation whilst it's filling the buffer will no longer perform any of the actual writing/finalising etc.
