Windows Vista's built-in CD/DVD burning software creates a data disc, but does not provide the ability to use a CD image to burn the disc. If you need to burn a CD image, you need another Third-party program to do it. Luckily, there are a lot of such programs. Today, I'm going to recommend the ImgBurn I use, not only for free, but also for a variety of mirror types, which works well in Windows Vista. ImgBurn not only supports CDs and DVDs, it has also been able to support HD DVDs and Blu-ray. The downloaded software package is only 1.5MB, even after installation, the capacity is small, and its resource consumption is negligible. It even supports command-line conversions so you can burn in batches. The following is the Tang di of the Vista House to take you into the ImgBurn world!
Downloads the software installation package from the official website of ImgBurn (like Vista optimizer master, pure freeware). The installation will be complete soon, you only need to press the default setting all the way "Next".
Run ImgBurn.
Click the "Browse for a file ..." button to open the Source Image Selection window.
Find your file. ImgBurn supports the following file types:. BIN,. Cdi. Cdr. DI,. Dvd. Gcm. Gi. IBQ,. Img. Iso. Lst. Mds. Nrg. PDI and. UDI. If your file is not in the list, select "All file Types", you might as well try it, maybe it works!
Where do you want to burn this file now? If you have more than one burner, select the one you want to use in the Drop-down list in the target area. If you've never put a disc in it before, you can do it now. Note that even if my mirror is a CD size, I'm going to burn it to a DVD because I don't have a CD disc around.
One of the default options I often use is "Verify the disc" (CD-ROM). If you check this, when the burn is complete, ImgBurn will eject the disc, then inhale it, and compare it to the original image to ensure that the burn is successful. Once I didn't use this option, I had a bitter pill for it-I couldn't get the file out of the CD. Now I always check "Verify", even if it takes more time.
After completing the above steps, it's time to burn! Click the Write button and the ImgBurn will start burning.
ImgBurn will show progress while burning, then the burner will automatically pop up and then shut down again (if you're using a laptop, you have to manually press the disc into the burner), and IMG starts checking.
When the checkout is over, ImgBurn will send a less-than-friendly signal to you (you can delete the sound file, or replace it with your favorite), and it will also pop up the corresponding dialog box. Ok! It's done now!
To me, ImgBurn is really a fool-like procedure. It is not only free, efficient, but also good compatibility. Think about it, you spend a lot of money to buy a so-called "multi-functional" burning software package, but it is not even imgburn function. So why not try a highly compatible imgburn with Windows Vista?
