The author was very stubborn about not bothering to implement
multisession, coz he himself never needed it. Even though majority of
articles on the web recommend and promote his software as the go to
solution for CD burning, esp. a lot of the tutorials on burning the
Linux distro on a disc in windows, so that you could try out and all
that and despite all that, the author is hard to motivate. Freeware is
not suitable business model for the author. Now also I check in the
changelog and there is no clear indication if its supported or not.
What are the possible risks of multisession? Is it true they are
readable only on the machine they were written on? Do they especially
have problems playing in say car CD players or home theatre systems?

And what's wrong with that stance? ImgBurn is absolutely free so if it
doesn't do what you require look elsewhere or buy something that does.
A lot of freeware out there exists solely because its author had a need
for it himself and simply wrote it. Making it publicly available later
on is just a bonus for him and for those people who may have a similar
need.
Most freeware authors are reasonably open to suggestions and requests,
but let's face it: it's the author who has already invested some time
and does further development work so it's the author who calls the
shots. Period.

Exactly the point why freeware authors lack the resources that open
source counterparts have. Fact is that there are free burner softwares
with multisession support. Fact is that despite all the popularity that
imgburn enjoys, the author still is pretty much disinterested. Author
has a need to support the latest and greatest blu-ray disc but no
multisession support. Why even release it for the user, if its all as
per the author's whims and fancies.
And if this author tries charging for a pro version that does
multisession, his revenues will be in so bad shape.
Its probably feels good to stand up for these freeware authors and try
to be hostile towards me, but it doesn't change the fact that the author
doesn't care about features he can't implement and rather put on stupid
messages in information dialog boxes.

So why don't you simply use these instead?

Well, if it's so popular there surely must be a reason or two for that
popularity... even if multisessions do not work when *you* think they
should? If the need for this is so great why don't *you* write an
ImgBurn look-a-like with multisession support and release it?

I am not the least bit hostile towards you. I am a freeware author
myself and I am just stating a very simple and very obvious fact (though
perhaps not as obvious as I thought).

In article <h4l0vd$3hi$1...@aioe.org>,
On CD's the only time I have run into problems with multisession is when
adding sessions to an open disc using different burning software and/or a
different burner (especially when the drives differ greatly in age; hence
firmware support for multisession burning was probably implemented
differently). In those circumstances I've had sessions disappear and not
be recoverable even using programs designed for recovery like ISOBuster.
DVD+R (and all re-writeables) are designed for multisession and I've had
little problem with it. DVD-R is another world entirely. Avoid
multi-session DVD-R. On pre-XP systems you may not see anything but the
first session. I've also had sessions disappear and not be recoverable, or
have discs which end up with unpredictable assortments of content from
various sessions without rhyme or reason. Again, though, the guiding
principle is to stick to the same burner and software for all the
sessions. This can present a problem for me (gee ... which machine did I
burn this disc on?)

I think it's very suitable for him. It gives him the freedom to create the
software he wants. Take it if you like it or leave it if you don't.
Imgburn (the name says it) is by its origin an image burner. And image
burning is by definition single session.
Given the very low cost of both HDD storage and blank DVD media, there is
nowadays little need for multi-session.

Thank you Mike for the explanation. It cleared up a lot of
uncertainties. In local shops here, I have only noticed DVD-R. Will
check and find out where to get DVD+R?

Just about every store I've bought blanks at in the last 5 years has had
both + and - so you probably need to check out better-stocked stores, or
order by mail from reputable dealers like rima ur supermediastore.
