FAQ @ RIGHT of infrarecorder.org need to be updated to go to infrarecorder.org/faq
The long folder name bug is still there.
To produce the bug create new data disc project. Create new folder. Enter into edit folder name (press F2). Then enter some characters or just press and hold key ‘a’ until you hear the beeping. Then press enter. And here it goes – crash.
Great to hear that this project is still actively developed! Thx!
Thank you for the new package, Christian! đ It’s good to see you still have time for this software. I recently found out CDBurnerXP doesn’t recognize two different PCs but InfraRecorder works very well on both of them. Great! đ
Yeah, it is nice to see a new version. However, I wonder what advantage this project has over the far-more actively-developed CDBurnerXP? Aside from people who still don’t want to download .NET Framework (an issue alleviated for any Vista or 7) user I can’t see a benefit.
Anyone?
This program don’t veryfing data on disc.
I can’t see icon of Infrarecorder in x64 version
Great news!
Infrarecorder works.
CDBurnerXP sucks (slow, needs .NET, inestable)!
Always happy with bug fix releases, but not when new bugs are introduced.
Here’s one such bug:
When trying to copy a disc with the new version 0.51.0.0 x86, and hitting OK in the Copy Disc menu, the application hangs for a few seconds, after which Windows closes and restarts in Repair mode(!!)
This error did not occur with version 0.50.
[System: Windows Vista SP2, 32 bit]
I just found out today that infrarecorder is what’s been causing my win7 desktop icons to disappear all this time! Checked the site and you’ve already fixed it! Thanks!
Earlier, I said I encountered a bug in the new version.
My mistake, I’m sorry.
I think there is NO bug.
I don’t know what’s the cause, but after uninstalling 0.51 and reinstalling 0.50 I encounter the same problems that I mentioned in my earlier post. Some time ago, version 0.50 worked just fine. So it’s something else, NOT InfraRecorder.
This is great and thanks heaps! I also appreciate the fact you have provided checksums for all your downloads… this is super.
Thank you very much for update! Very happy I can see my desktop icons now đ
The Disc Verification feature of version 0.51 doesn’t seem to work properly. The first disc I burnt was ejected and the tray left open while the message “Started Disc Verification” was left on the screen. The second disc I burnt was properly ejected and then reloaded, but again the program halted at the “Started Disc Verification” message with no results.
@kuku: all recent versions of CDBurnerXP support verifying of data when burning Data discs (i.e. burning raw files and folders) or ISO images. It’s only not supported for Audio CDs.
@Sebastian: on slower PCs CDBurnerXP initially loads-up slowly compared to InfraRecorder, yes, due to InfraRecorders’ C++ code rather than .NET. And while CDBurnerXP does need the .NET Framework 2.0, do remember Windows Vista already has 2.0 and 3.0 natively built-in; 7 then adds 3.5. Only XP users require a .NET installation so, going forwards, this will become far less of an issue.
Thank you for the new release, Christian! Its a pleasure to support your efforts.
What about CDtext in this version?
It never writes CDtext on audio CD so I can’t see track names in my car CD player.
CD’s from Nero works fine.
@Stu, Windows Vista and Windows 7 has not any native .NET built-in. They are including .NET built-in, but it is the same VM you can get from a separate install.
Still cannot use the program since I cant get verification to work. I would use this program and ditch imgburn if it worked as it is a showstopper for me (I must be able to check 100% disk is readable before deleting files from my pc).
The verification is not working for me either. In fact in never worked since 0.47 or so.
Until it is fixed, after burning, I simply compress all the CD/DVD contents to a 7z file with no compression, making sure disk contents are fully readable. Then I delete the 7z file plus the original files in the HD. Not the best solution thoguth, but is not very tedious if you only burn from time to time like is my case.
I also thought that verification was doing nothing. However, I noticed that when burning a DVD, Session-at-once, from network-share files, during verification I had lots of network activity, but no DVD-burner activity. Therefore, I believe the verification is checking the original files against the temporary disc image, rather than checking the temporary disc image against the actual DVD. Also annoying is that the DVD ejects no matter whether I check the “do not eject” box or not – a problem with a drive that cannot pull the tray back in by itself.
There is always cdrtfe (http://cdrtfe.sourceforge.net/) for those who want a cdrtools frontend. Always worked great for me before I switched solely to ImgBurn (after they added audio CD burning).
I could not unzip the Windows x86 Installer with Winrar 3.70.
The Winrar says: “O arquivo estĂĄ em formato desconhecido ou danificado”, or “The file is in unknown format or damaged” in English.
The 7zip can unzip the file.
Perhaps the “$” in the “$PLUGINSDIR” folder causes this problem.
Thanks for this new version!
I install InfraRecorder on most PC’s I repair or assemble, and at first all users are a little bit uneasy for new and small software replacing their bloated Nero installations. After few CD-R’s created they all say InfraRecorder rullz because it does his job fast and easy.
@Paulo the MSI is the installer you need to install. If you want to uncompress it, then better get the portable ZIP version.
Is there a way to cause InfraRecorder to do a one-click audio CD copy, like Nero does? It looks like I have to go through multiple steps to rip the CD to the hard drive and then create a project to record to a new disk. That’s a lot of steps.
Thanks a lot! I like infrarecorder for its simplicity.
And to everyone posting bugs in the news section: It would be more helpful to go to the projects sourceforge site and post the bugs in the bug tracker.

Just downloaded version .51, or so I thought! What in Hell goes on here?
I went to infrarecorder.org (home page), via Help | About | download – saved to file and [Run] to install over ver. .50. Result:
Now I got a lot of additional spooge nags to get rid of. In addition, I’ve now got version .45 (software) instead of (newer) ver .50, (forget ver.51 I guess .?.?.
Now I need to know. Has this happened to no one but me? I have read all the recent posts here and no one else has mentioned anything like i’m looking at!
Reassure me please! đ
This doesn’t seem important now – but, why ‘did’ ver. .50
Oppps. but, why âdidâ ver. .50 >>> display the current disc “region” as reg. 8 ?? I checked using several (used) DVD’s including one blank new disc – everyone reported ‘Ver. 8’ ???
Nice to see that this project is still alive!
Disc verification does nothing for me either, a fix would be greatly appreciated.
regarding CDBurnerXP: I used it for a while until I noticed that it sometimes “forgot” to burn some of the files. When I reported the bug, I was told that this was actually a known bug, but the programmer said that he didn’t want to fix it because a 3rd party library that the program uses was to blame, not his code. I pointed out that knowingly letting users burn CDs with a program that sometimes “forgets” files is not a good thing no matter in which part of the code the bug sits, but the programmer refused to even inform the users about the danger. Since then, I don’t trust CDBurnerXP any more and I’m glad that an alternative exists. đ
Intel Atom based system not supported as it denied to install.
@Guti
By “native” I just mean it is there as part of the base OS install image, not that it is somehow “native” to Windows Vista or 7’s core codeset (i.e. to suggest it would run faster than say on XP), no. Appologies if you thought this. I just mean on these two OSs you do not have to also install the .NET Framework 2.0 as it is already there. This was in response to Sebastian’s comment saying a negative point for CDBurnerXP is that you need the .NET Framework — which can add additional download and install time — on XP.
@Psyringe
I did have this issue a few years back: burned a series of files and folders onto two DVD-Rs using CDBurnerXP. Verify said all was okay yet no PC would show any files on the discs — but a file recovery tool could find them all. Cause is obviously an incorrect file tree. Can’t say I’ve had any failed burns using newer versions in recent years though.
La version n’Ă©volue pas.
Dommage car sur mes trois ordinateurs, j’ai souvent des Ă©chec de gravure, ce qui est dĂ©plaisant.
Pour l’instant j’utilise un autre logiciel en licence libre.
J’attends une nouvelle version avant de revenir sur Infrarecorder.
Bon courrage Ă tous et merci pour votre travail.
What a pity! I shall not use this software without the verifing function. Please kindly help to improve and fulfil this function. Many thanks!
Really love it. Infrarecorder is perfect. I have tried so many freeware burner, actually I love this one. Thanks!
I also need data verification in my burning software – preferably MD5 checksums rather than CRC32.
Thank you for your efforts in programming InfraRecorder and releasing it as freeware.
Cheers đ
the desktop shortcut on the x64 version is just a white square
yea 64 bit version has corrupted desktop shortcut. Just create a shortcut from the exe in Program Files folder.

Hi! Just a quick question. Your roadmap shows the project should be deep in the 0.7 version, but there are no news for half a year from any of the developers. Is the project still being developed? The software works great and is ideal alternative for light CD/DVD burning. But what about development? Roadmap? Is there any news for us, users? Regards; Luka
