  • Latest Changes

    - Added: An 'Advanced' input mode to build mode where you have total control over the layout of the disc and can add new folders, change names etc. (i.e. you're no longer limited to burning an existing folder structure on your hard disc as-is)

    - Added: Optional logging when hidden or system files/folders are skipped in Build mode due to the current settings (i.e. when 'Include Hidden Files' or 'Include System Files' are disabled)

    - Added: Yet another attempt at setting the write speed - this one does it 100% by the book. It fills the fields in the performance descriptor sent via 'SET STREAMING' with the values returned in the descriptor after issuing the 'GET PERFORMANCE' command. (

    - Added: An option (off by default) to enable the enumeration of medium changer devices (this was previously always enabled) on the I/O tab in the Settings

    - Added: Support for enumerating medium changer devices via the SPTI 'Device Interface' method too - previously it was always done by 'Device Class'

    - Added: The graph data preview in the Settings now uses a default value for media/volume id if one isn't available based on the current media/image file

    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.
