/SRC <Drive Letter | SCSI Address> | "<Folder Name>\" | "<File Name>" | ALLSECTORS
| <Custom Number Of Sectors>
Used to select the source drive or filename.
Drive Letter or SCSI Address applies to READ and VERIFY modes.
Folder Name applies to BUILD mode.
File Name applies to BUILD and WRITE modes.
ALLSECTORS applies to DISCOVERY mode.
Custom Number Of Sectors applies to DISCOVERY mode.
Examples: /SRC J:
/SRC 1:0:0
/SRC "C:\DVD_FILES\VIDEO_TS\"
/SRC "C:\DVDIMAGE.ISO"
/SRC "C:\BackupProject.IBB"
/SRC ALLSECTORS
/SRC 2295000
In BUILD mode, you can specify multiple folders / files directly if you put a
pipe character ('|') between them.
Example: /SRC "C:\Folder1\|C:\Folder2\|C:\Document1.txt|C:\Document2.txt"
To specify different volume labels for each file system, the following
switches are also available:
These will override what's been set (if anything) by the '/VOLUMELABEL'
switch.
/LAYERBREAK <LBA>
Used to tell the program where to put the layerbreak.
Only applies to WRITE and DISCOVERY modes and only when burning DVD+R DL
discs.
Example: /LAYERBREAK 2000000
/ERASE
Used to automatically erase / format / overwrite media.
/START
Used to start the burn process automatically when the program has finished
initialising.
Basically, it just presses the 'Build' / 'Write' / 'Verify' button for you!
/CLOSE
Used to close the program when the burn process has finished.
Basically, it just presses the 'Close' button for you!
/CLOSEINFO
Used to close the program when the text file specified by '/INFO' has been
created.
Basically, it just presses the 'Close' button for you!
/CLOSESUCCESS
Used to close the program when the burn process has finished AND was
successful.
Basically, it just presses the 'Close' button for you!
/SHUTDOWN
Used to shutdown the computer when the program has finished burning.
Basically, it just checks the 'Shutdown computer when done' box for you!
/WAITFORMEDIA
Used in combination with /START and /CLOSE to wait until the program is
'Ready' to burn before trying to start.
Normally, if the program isn't 'Ready', the /CLOSE switch causes the program
to close without having done anything.
/IGNORELOCKVOLUME
Used to make the program ignore any 'Access is denied' errors it might run
into when it tries to lock the drive for exclusive access, meaning the burn can
continue without user intervention.
This is mainly for 3rd party applications that are unable to release any
'handles' that they might have open to the drive - thus preventing ImgBurn from
obtaining the lock.
/NOIMAGEDETAILS
Used to stop the program from displaying details about the image.
Only applies to BUILD mode.
/BOOTPATCHBOOTINFOTABLE
Basically, it just checks the 'Patch Boot Information Table' box on the
'Advanced' -> 'Bootable Disc' tab for you!
Only applies when the '/BOOTEMUTYPE' switch is also specified.
Only applies to BUILD mode.
/LOGAPPEND
When used in combination with '/LOG "<File Name>"', it will make the program
try and append to the file rather than overwrite it.
/LOGHEADER
When used in combination with '/LOG "<File Name>"', it will make the program
add a header to the log showing the program version, date and time.
It is recommended that this switch be used when creating a new log file that
you will later append to via use of the '/LOGAPPEND' switch.
The same header is automatically added when using the '/LOGAPPEND' switch
so this switch need not be specified.
/PORTABLE
Used to make the program skip the sections where it would normally write file
association / autoplay / shell extension data to the registry.
When used in combination with '/SETTINGS "<File Name>"', you can make it so
ImgBurn doesn't make any changes to the PC it's being run on. This is useful if
you're running it from a USB pen etc.
Even if this switch is not specified, the program will attempt to load from
'ImgBurn.ini' in the application exe's directory BEFORE it loads from the registry.
/NOSAVESETTINGS
Used to tell the program not to save ANY settings when it's closed.
