Windows Vista: The Burning Questions

Posted 28 Sep, 2006 at 08:37 by brent in /Technical | Permanent link

I've been having a hell of a time finding a good utility that was:

I already had Nero, but it doesn't work yet on a clean install of Windows Vista. (I'm running RC1 build 5728).

So I wrote my own utility. You can download it or get more information at : ISOBurn

Source is there as well if you want to play with it.

If you're looking for something with a GUI, and by "free" you mean "as in beer", I think CDBurner XP Pro 3 should slake your thirst.

But I like Brent's solution better. "I can't find this, so I'll bloody well write it"... now that's old school.

Does it work on Vista?
The XP part of the CDBurner XP Pro 3 raises some doubts ;)

Oh. Vista's a bitch? Or Vista's trying to make you it's bitch (and failing)? (Yes, I like Brent's solution better if nothing out there satisfies his requirements, but if it works, why re-invent the wheel?) If CDBurner XP Pro 3 doesn't do it, a quick Google search turned up ISO Recorder at the top of the list, which looked pretty much like what he'd asked for. Also, if you care about mounting ISO images, then that search also Virtual CD-ROM Control Panel.

Hows & Whys
Who we are

Blue has been known to toss a disc around a field from time to time, and thinks that you should as well. He lives either on the Internet or in Toronto, depending on your perspective. Ask him no questions and there's a good chance he'll tell you no lies. [Site]

Brent hosts the box from which we dangle our conversations, for which we are all eternally grateful. Gratitude is most easily expressed in small bills. Formerly a pawn of the Evil Empire (or maybe a Knight), he has gone over the wall and now toils at a small computer game company in Alberta that no one except for ten million gamers has ever heard of. [Site]

Kael occasionally gets called "Mike"; mostly by people who don't know him. He cooks, he cleans, he maintains Unix servers... what else could you ask for? Currently a slave to the Man, by which we mean retail sales. He has secret plans, but we can't tell you about them. In fact, we've already said too much. [Site]

Lisa is a recreational therapist without a cause. She entertains dreams of ruling over an empire of scrapbooking. Has a well-deserved reputation for enthusiasm, common sense, and tiredness. Ask her about her teapots, but don't touch them.

Matt is just this guy, you know? A mathematician by training and a layabout by inclination; he currently has an Urban Commuter Campus in the American Midwest convinced that they should pay him for plying these trades. The designer and administrator of this site, which means in a sense this is all his fault. [Site | E-mail]

Sky is a salesman during the day. At night he doesn't bother: his words are like unto those of a god, and you can agree or you can be wrong. Lives in the World of Warcraft, with a sattelite office in Toronto. Known to play games on occasion.

Wendy has never run away to join the circus, but pursuing graduate work in medical imaging is perhaps just as good. She didn't choose her current abode on the basis of proximity to a Toronto Public Library branch, but we wouldn't put it past her. Married to one of the other authors here, but you'll have to read the archives to find out which one. [Site]
