As you can see below, the source is now the ISO image and the destination is the CD/DVD drive. Some of the advanced features are the fact that ImgBurn supports Unicode file and folder names, so you will have no problems with international character sets or long file names. Here you choose the image file, whether you want to verify after burning, and the number of copies. Once you have the image file saved on your computer, you can burn as many copies of it as you like by going to Write mode. To begin copying, click on the image of the CD with the green/blue arrow at the bottom.
