ISO Image Burner

   

This tool is from http://www.isoimageburner.com

The default CD File System is ISO-9660, it is a standard CD-ROM file system that allows you to read the same CD-ROM whether you are on the Windows, Linux/UNIX, Mac or other major computer. The default write speed is MAX, this parameter sets the burn speed of the CD burner to maximum, the burn speed is limited by the maximum speed of the burner.

Burning Options
  • Test Write - In order to test a system's performance without wasting valuable media, recorders allowed for a test write which would simulate the recording process.
  • Finalize Disc - after burning is complete performs media finalizing.
  • UDF Bridge - sometimes called UDF/ISO, is a DVD-ROM format used to make DVD-ROM media compatible with Windows 95 computers. Because UDF wasn't supported by Windows until Microsoft shipped Windows 98, DVD providers were forced to use an interim format called UDF Bridge.
  • Joliet File System - An extension to the ISO 9660 CD-ROM file format from Microsoft that supports Windows long file names starting with Windows 95. Joliet supports the original 8.3 naming convention for compatibility with DOS and Windows 3.1 and also supports the Unicode character set.
  • Underrun Protection - Most modern CD/DVD writers implement some form of buffer-underrun protection. A buffer-underrun occurs when the writer's buffer (high speed memory built into the writer itself for organizing data prior to writing it onto the disk) become empty of data before the writing process is complete. This leaves the new CD spinning in the drive while no data is available to be written to it, resulting in the writer essentially 'losing its place' on the disk and creating a useless CD.
  • Import Session - Multisession discs can be burned in multiple sessions until you have reached the maximum disc capacity. A session is a self-contained data area that is burned using a single process, and consists of a lead-in (with the table of contents), and one or more tracks and a lead-out. Discs without the multisession option, e.g. Audio CDs, are burned in a single session.
  • Volume ID - change data disc Volume ID (support unicode).
  • Cache Size - size of the cache buffer in megabytes.
  • Boot Image - burn a bootable CD/DVD if you include the boot image.

 

   
How to erase files from a CD-RW with ISO Image Burner

ISO Image Burner support to erase the files from a CD-RW (re-writable disc) if your computer is equipped with a CD recorder, Before you can reuse a CD-RW or DVD-RW disc, you must erase it. You can use ISO Image Burner to erase CD-RW and DVD-RW discs.

When you erase the disc, you can select "Quick Erase" (quickly) or "Full Erase" (slowly) button in program main interface. If you do, ISO Image Burner can prepare the disc so that you can write over the existing data but it doesn't actually erase the data. If you don't select "Quick Erase", ISO Image Burner overwrites the entire disc with zeros, which takes longer.
