Alternative to ImgBurnFor years I've been touting the benefits of ImgBurn, the terrific, Windows-based free disc burner software.
Unfortunately, the software has become so riddled with bloatware that some anti-virus software is indicating it as malware. There are ways to get around the bloatware -- but life shouldn't be that complicated. I've discovered and am now evaluating some freeware from our friends at CyberLink (creator of PowerDirector video editing software). Power2Go is free, though there is also a purchase-able version. The free version gives you the ability to burn data discs, playable DVDs and BluRays and never expires. The only clumsy part is that you have to install the free trial for the full version for 15 days (and deal with a nag screen during that period) before the program downgrades to the free version. If anyone else would like to download the program and test it, you can get it from the CyberLink web site. https://www.cyberlink.com/downloads/tri ... en_US.html If the program pans out, we'll open up a forum dedicated to it and I'll create some basic tutorials.

Re: Alternative to ImgBurnSounds like a good find Steve.
I do not burn too many disc's anymore but having a simple easy solution is something that appeals to me. I know there are differing views but typically I am interested in watching whats on the DVD and always try to bypass all the menu's to start playing. Sidd "Life moves pretty fast.

Re: Alternative to ImgBurnRemember that Windows from version 7 has built in image burn capabilities. They aren't fancy but do the job. Simply right click the .ISO and there will be a "burn" option.
Windows 8 onwards can also mount ISO images without additional software. Intel Core i7 8700 - 32GB DDR4 - 500GB Evo 970 SSD - 3+2 TB HDD - GTX 1080- MSI Z370 Pro - Win10 64 bit - Cannon HV30 (PAL) - Sony A6000 - GoPro 3 Black
Re: Alternative to ImgBurnI quote from the creator of ImgBurn:-
"It isn’t bundled with anything. You might be offered something from a 3rd party (within the installation wizard and handled by a 3rd party plugin) if you download from the ImgBurn mirror site, but the other mirrors offer 100% clean versions." That's what he told me (so please don't shoot the messenger!!) ![]() AMD Ryzen 3900x 12C/24T, ASUS x570 mobo, Arctic Liquid Freezer ll 280, Win11 64 bit, 64GB RAM, Radeon RX 570 graphics, Samsung 500GB NVMe 980 PRO (C:), Samsung 970 Evo SSD (D:), Dell U2717D Monitor, Synology DS412+ 8TB NAS, Adobe CS6.
Re: Alternative to ImgBurnStrangely, you can find ImgBurn without all the bloatware if you download it from a software site, like MajorGeeks.
It's most riddled with bloatware when you get it directly from imgburn.com. HP Envy with 2.9/4.4 ghz i7-10700 and 16 gig of RAM running Windows 11 Pro

John, how about a 5 minute head-start... ![]() Sidd "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it." ..... Ferris Bueller
Re: Alternative to ImgBurnOnly five minutes????
Usain Bolt could give me a ninety five metre head start in a one hundred metre sprint and he would still catch me before the finish line. ![]() AMD Ryzen 3900x 12C/24T, ASUS x570 mobo, Arctic Liquid Freezer ll 280, Win11 64 bit, 64GB RAM, Radeon RX 570 graphics, Samsung 500GB NVMe 980 PRO (C:), Samsung 970 Evo SSD (D:), Dell U2717D Monitor, Synology DS412+ 8TB NAS, Adobe CS6.
Re: Alternative to ImgBurnJohn not for you for me.... I would miss and it would only irritate you. I would need some room to get my rascal up to full throttle....

I wonder if Canon would let me use a few of their cameras & lenses? Check out the gear room. https://petapixel.com/2018/02/12/canons ... -olympics/ aka Cheryl
