New Version

Version 0.50 is now released. The changes can be viewed here, but the list may be incomplete. Due to the long development time since the previous release some forgotten changes might haven been included without mention.

I would like to shout out a big thanks to Mr. R. Diez who have made significant contributions to this version. Apart from bug fixes and feature improvements he has added support for compiling InfraRecorder using the express version of Visual Studio.

    Thank you very much!

  4. mad says:

    I would love IR to remember the columns chosen and their width. Is it planned for future releases? Thanks.

  7. khagaroth says:

    Why aren’t there any language updates included? There were several language updates available before the release, some of them for a few days already (Czech for example).

  8. Christian says:

    khagaroth: I received very few language updates before the release. I guess it’s possible that I have made a mistake, forgetting to include the most recent version of some translation.

  9. Sturm says:

    No Lightscribe suport?

  10. Christian says:

    Sturm: No, unfortunately not yet.

  11. tomasfuk says:

    Excellent program – lightweight, portable and functional. Like nothing else!

  12. khagaroth says:

    Re language updates:

    You should look in forums and I also sent you an email with the same update I posted in forums (posted 13th on forums and sent the email 14th). On the forums, there are also other language updates apart from mine.

  13. Christian says:

    khagaroth: Thanks for reminding me, I have now checked the forums. I didn’t receive your e-mail though.

  14. Mr. X says:

    I love it

  15. Roberto Sorensen says:

    I love this software !!
    Thank you very much from Uruguay !!

  16. Peter North says:

    When I burn a video from my video camera, then play it back on my computer or DVD player, a menu will always show. Is there a way to have no menu show and the DVD play with no intervention?

  17. Eddie Mann says:

    PeterNorth.
    You would need to edit the original with another program to remove the menu, InfraRecorder only burns what you put into it.

  18. Jota.Ce says:

    I’d also like if IR remembers size/position of main window.

    And one thing more… updating LAME codec to the latest version (3.98.2) would be nice.

    Thanks for this great program !

  19. asd says:

    thanks

  20. gobo says:

    “Couldn’t erase disc using the selected method.” Still getting this while trying to erase a dvd+rw. Nero, imgburn, cdburnerxp all erase except infrarecorder

    Will the smoke effect work in Windows 7? previous version did not work. Thanks for this great software.

  22. Luke says:

    Hi This is one great program.

    Any chance of including blueray support?

  23. Lokista says:

    Very good sw!
    Thanks from Hungary!

  24. David says:

    You really have an amazing application here, which is just superb, with guys like yourself and the people working on video lan, 7-zip and utorrent so much of the open source applications are better than the paid for apps.

    Perhaps you could have a small advert in the app so you can get some income?

    Im sure people wont mind that for this awesome app !!

    Keep up the hard work !!

  25. napx says:

    forget advertising in gpl software..
    i’m setting aside $5/month for donations to these excellent open source projects. not just software either a while ago I donated to wikipedia too. i’m willing to pay for quality gpl software which works for you, not against you no problem.

  26. Dougd says:

    Hello from the United States. I’ve been using this software forever, and I really love it. Please keep up the great work.

    GPL is where it’s at. We love you guys!! People taking care of people.

    EUROPE rocks!

    I’m coming to Romania is 7 days!!! Can’t wait.

    Thanks and peace.

    Thanks from Italy !

  28. Guest says:

    I have some issues.

    1. The disc name. I can name the disc no matter how long and it’ll let me but on the disc itself the name is cut off.

    2. The programs seems to make an iso first before burning. This is a problem for me since I have a small C: drive. This causes an out of space error and the disc becomes useless.

    3. I wish the defaults were more like ImgBurn’s. Your settings is a bit overwhelming. Perhaps, it should be ISO 9660 + UDF to prevent problems such as number 1.

  29. mad says:

    to Guest above:
    for nr. 2 – I think you just need to check “burn on-the-fly” in the burning dialogue.

  30. Hello,

    I really like your software, but I’m unable to use even this new version with my Pioneer DVR-112.
    It seems that IR can’t detect supported speeds properly.

    Maybe I do something wrong? Or you know any solution for this drive?

    All the best,
    Mike

  31. Amphibian says:

    Just installed it, running Win2k. Sp4. Generates errors and crashes as soon as I add an mp3 to “the project” to burn an audio cd.

    Dialog box says” Infrarecorder.e.exe has generated errors and will be closed by Windows. You will need to restart the program.”

    to Michael (Halo 3 Fan) :

    i’ve had problems with my pio dvd burner too. it solved when i updated my dvr 212’s firmware. download the _PROPER_ executable for your odd, click on it twice, let the command line program run, and hopefully without reboot, your odd’s firmware updates.
    i couldn’t delete rewritables before, but after the update i could do it. try to download from here:

    one more thing:)
    big thank you from Hungary! this program is great!

  36. Andreas says:

    Thanks for the new version!

    I’m not able to copy a CD with that version , but I don’t know if it worked in previous versions, because I didn’t use that feature.

    I hit the menu entry to copy a disc, insert the source disc into the drive, but infrarecorder directly jumps to 100%. So it didn’t read any data!! Then it says it is ready.

    But if I use the image feature, which writes the disc into a image on my harddrive, it works.

  37. Jure says:

    Hi,

    Thanks for the update!

    Got a small bug to report: When installing IR with a language different than English, the old version automatically set the program to that language too, but this version chooses English anyway.

    LP,
    Jure

  38. Chris says:

    Well, back to Nero for me.

    Your Uberdownload crap has soured this otherwise amazing program. I don’t want to install a dolphin screensaver and certainly don’t want it included in a gpl application. Decidedly shady, you won’t get a second chance.

  39. Ken says:

    Work on Windows 7?

  40. sebi says:

    Thank you for the news release!!

  41. Oleg says:

    After a full format before burning the disc and, given the message that it is not empty.Disk not automatically ejected after recording.

  42. Radix says:

    Thanks from Philippines

    Nero is a bloated burning application that’s why I shifted to IR.

    Keep up the good work guyz!

  43. Maximilien Noal says:

    To Chris :

    There’s no “dolphin screensaver” embedded with IR! What are you babling about ?!

    Download it from sourceforge.net, and _then_ see if you find a “dolphin screensaver” or whatever with it.

    IR is very lightweighted! Nero is _bloated_..

  44. jc says:

    “Couldn’t erase disc using selected method.” I just can’t format a disc with infrarecorder where I can do easily with CDburnerxp or imgburn. I also ran into the same problem as Oleg where a formatted disc is seen as not empty. Just too flaky when it comes to rewritable media.

    Yay! A new version!!!

    @Hzne:

    AFAIK, DVDs have 4.7 * 10^9 Bytes. I hate the word “billions” since it has no real translation: Billion is 10^9 in some places, billion is 10^12 in other places (like here), but in US, it would be 4.7 billion of bytes.

    Try to divide that number by 1024 three times to see how many real GBs it is.

  70. TheDarkLord says:

    Hey, I have just tested 0.50 but i often get:
    Warning: The DMA test speed has been skipped
    Sometimes on CD Burning but they burn anyway, but while try to burn a DVD-RW it starts burning but don’t stop when 100% reached.
    I need to hard reset the computer because even if I kill IR, the DVD is turning and turning and I can’t open the tray.

    So I switched back to 0.46.2, there where no problems with that DMA stuff.
    In your forum somebody posted the same error:
    http://forums.infrarecorder.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=698
    Maybe you can fix that?

    In any case: IR is the only burning software I use πŸ™‚

    Long time, no update – how is the current status of this project? Is it still alive? Perhaps I am wrong and it has reached such a stable maturity that further development can be done with lower priority. Just wondering because I did not see any news since August 2009.

  98. Stefanos says:

    An amazing project indeed. Has anyone noticed the “Burn an iso” bug? I never had this problem before. Every time I choose to burn an ISO image file, it shows that burning process finishes successfully but when I try to look my CD or DVD contents, the CD / DVD disk is empty!

    A suggestion that would sound brilliant to those who are interested in cross-platform support: Wouldn’t be nice if Infrarecorder was developed with wxWidgets which is more or less compatible with Microsoft’s MFC libraries? By doing so, Infrarecorder would have more supporters and testers not only under Windows but on GNU / Linux as well.

    NOTE: This is just a personal opinion and nothing else. I am a GNU / Linux for years and on one of my machines I exclusively use GNU / Linux Fedora distro. That’s why I suggested the above opinion. I would love to have it under Fedora.

    0.50 (August 16th, 2009) Issues:
    Applies to InfraRecorder 0.50 installed under Windows 7, both 32 and 64 bit

    *Error “Warning: The DMA speed test has been skipped” – occurs upon burning a disk.
    -fix or workaround: n/a

    *Verification after succesfull write of a disk fails to perform.
    -workaround: InfraRecorder needs to be “Run as Administrator” (although it shouldn’t be needing admin rights for this)

    *Desktop Icons disappear – After running InfraRecorder all desktop icons disappear upon next OS restart.
    -workaround: Right-clicking on desktop ->View-> check “Show desktop icons” fixes the issue temporary.

    Shame this project has died. It was the best burning software around.

    Seems some serious work is going on.
    v0.50 is based on revision-119.. there is 42 revisions after this.

    Isn’t it time to push a new release? Or some alpha/beta for a start?

  112. KillerCookie says:

    But most of these revisions are translation updates which donΒ΄t warrant a new release.

    Needs to be updated for Win7! Desktop icons keep disappearing! I would install this on 30+ machines, but cannot because of this one bug :*(

    Concerning my comment above, the code has been fixed, but there is no official compiled release I can use. I have no idea how to download & compile the source into an installer, is there any chance someone could tell me how to do this?

    Thank you

    This program hasn’t been updated in a year, better stick with CDBurnerXP which is alive, regularly updated and has a x64 version.

  117. Guti says:

    As for CDRTFE, I am sorry, but no native x64 version, so it is not an alternative to IR.

  118. Anders says:

    It would be great if this small Icon/Win7-issue was fixed.

    If you are running Windows 7 and Infrarecorder cannot erase/burn discs, try to run it as Administrator.
