ImgBurn - A User Guide NOTE: A Printer-Friendly .pdf document for this guide can be found here NOTE: There is an updated guide based on the latest released version of ImgBurn that can be found here. What Can I Do In ImgBurn? ImgBurn is a free tool that allows you to write images to DVD-R / DVD-RW / DVD-R DL / DVD+R / DVD+RW / DVD+R DL / DVD-RAM media. ImgBurn can write most types of CD / DVD images - including BIN, CUE, DI, DVD, GI, IMG, ISO, MDS, NRG and PDI. It supports all the latest writers (including booktype / bitsetting on many of the major ones - i.e. BenQ, LiteOn, NEC, Plextor, Sony). You can even use ImgBurn to erase / format your rewritable media! ImgBurn will try its very best to burn your DVD-Video double layer images using the layer break you've specified in the IFO files, but it can also calculate the best place for you, to save you the trouble. Advanced functionality can be found in context menus that appear when you right click on various bits of the user interface. These features are also covered and explained in this guide. ImgBurn is written by Lightning UK! and is an enhanced version of an earlier released burn engine. ImgBurn's Homepage You can download and read more about the program at ImgBurn's homepage. This Guide I have divided it into these sections:

Most likely, the DVD will burn fine, and if it doesn't, it'll tell you during the burn. You can leave this 'enabled' ('disabled' by default) if you want to feel extra safe. This shows you how the verifying process is running: ![]() When it's done and if the burning and verifying process was finished without errors - a dialogue box will come up saying burning is complete. ![]() After that message, you can hit "OK" and go ahead and remove the disc.
