Mr Raymond White, You Need To "Unblock" The Zip File After Downloading It:
Download; Select The Folder By Single Clicking It; Hold Down The "Alt" Key On Your Keyboard, And Double Click; Inside The Window That Next Will Appear, Put A Checkmark In The "Unblock" Box, Then Click "Apply" And "OK." Then To Safely "Extract" Or "Unzip" The Folder(s)/Files, Hold Down The "Alt" Key Again, And Hit Your Keyboard "E" Letter To Safely "Extract" Or "Unzip" The Files Within The Folder. Either Hit "Enter" Or "Next;" Another Explorer Window Will Open Automatically To Show The readme.txt File And The .exe File That Will Open The Installation Process. The Reason: Files Downloaded From The Internet Are Automatically Blocked To Protect You From Malware, No Matter Where You Download Them, Even Though All Folders/Files From This Site Are NOT Malware And Are NOT Viruses. Otherwise The Folder(s) Need To Safely Be "Extracted" Or "Unzipped." (I Must Apologize For Being Longwinded, But This Will Definitely Solve Your Issue.)
NOTE: License details:
Lifetime, no updates, Unless You Purchase "BurnAware Premium 13.8 Pro"

Mr Raymond White, DISABLE ANTI-VIRUS. A quick read of the "readme" file would have answered your question.

I guess I should have read your comment before installing. I also had the previous version (12.9) and although there appeared to be no problems with the installation of 13.8, it still shows 12.9 and the previous version release date.

Well, I used to have a working copy of BurnAware Premium 12.9, but after doing an uninstall and reinstall of 13.8, now I have NOTHING!! Restarted computer, downloaded and reinstalled again with same results - DANG IT!

Update to my last post - persistence paid off! Downloaded and reinstalled yet again, and IT WORKED! Now have a working version of 13.8 Thanks GAOTD!

David, You need to turn off your virus software until after you have download and installed the software. It is the wrapper used by GAOFD causing a false alarm. Happens a lot with Avast which I use as well as a few others. There has never been a virus on here from any of the software. They check it with several programs before offering it here. I have been using this site for a bit over 10 years without any problems.

Hughjocapivvy, Folks more knowledgeable than me can explain the why (something to do with the GotD wrapper I think?) but you may have to temporarily disable your antivirus software (like Avast or whatever you use) before running the setup (at least that is what I have had to do, and now automatically do, to avoid the same problem before installing anything from GotD these days).

Hughjocapivvy,

Usually when that happens anti-virus must be temporarily turned off for installing AND right click on Setup then choose Run as Administrator on popup menu.

Hughjocapivvy, I am having the same problem.

Hughjocapivvy,
In my experience, that usually happens when your anti-virus is blocking the setup.exe file. It has something to do with the wrapper they use here. I usually pause Avast and Zemana before installing from here. I trust this site and there has never been a problem with infection doing that.

I hope that helps.

Just an update to the above, the problem here was AVAST antivirus software.
Installed fine after i removed it.

You need to temporarily disable your Anti-Virus software and then install the software.

Why!? There is a reason why you have an antivirus installed, you know.

Alexander Priest, You take a DVD, copy all the contents of "VIDEO_TS" to a temporary folder on your PC. Then you can enter those files IFO, VOB and BUP, "with BurnAware" into the "VIDEO_TS" folder, which the program asks. Then click "Burn" and you have a copy of those files from that DVD.

@Alexander Priest, You need a program to do that. Total Media Extreme is around on the web but getting really old now, sadly. It can create DVDs or HD DVDs that can play in HD on a Bluray player, complete with menus.

I've tried some from here but found them clunky to use. You need to be able to cut to a frame to make a good disk. Many can't. I've never found a good one.

tom, I agree with you!
CDs, DVDs, Blu-Rays etc.. etc.... etc........ DO NOT EXIST ANYMORE!!
EVEN if there are BILLIONS AND BILLIONS of them everywhere!!!
There are a lot off people, I mean, A LOT, that think that win 7 is the 8th Wonder of the World.
THEY ARE ABSOLUTELLY WRONG!
The 8th. Wonder of the World, WAS Win 2.03!!!!!!!!!!!!! ( hummm ... maybe this was the 7.5 Wonder of the World.... ok... Ok.....OK, lets settle with win 2.10 - a real transition from DOS to "visual" environments). May 1988. I won't consider MacOs versions.
THIS was a real windows version. Not the first one, but really "WINDOWS".
So, to me, the BEST windows version, was win 2.10.
And now I'm using Win 10 2004.
AND, I want MORE!!!
In mine not so humble opinion, Microsoft should stop providing backwards compatibility!!! This is an immense drawback for Windows. AND I'm fed up listening to : win 7 is the best... I don't have money to buy a newer version so this is Microsoft's problem, and more and more and more!!
Get over guys!! When you have money, buy a newer version; If you don't have it, just stick with it, but stop blaming that you windows do not do this and that!!!
AND returning for the subject - I do not have CDs, DVDs and Blu-rays anymore.!! I have several pen drives - from 64 Gb to 256 Gb.
ALL my media is in MP4 or MKV, if possible in H265/HEVC. And I'm eager for the new H266 format!!!
Some background : I had a personal computer in 1978. That's why I think win 2.10 (1988) is the 8th wonder!!!

tom, evidently you aren't involved in the world of business then; there, dvds are still in everyday use and make up an important part of storage redundancy strategy. The non-volatility of laser disks is also a huge consideration in the business world. The same two factors would also motivate those in a private capacity who need long-term data storage security.

tom, I agree in a lot of ways, certainly for entertainment purposes. It is useful for special problems though, sometimes I just want to burn a CD to take on the trip.

Eric, Try installing as Administrator....right click on Setup then choose Run as Administrator on popup menu.

Eric,
As another person said try "Administrator". If still shows old program (I have same worry losing older version) ) I would think if you delete old version and try again and if you end up with nothing use System Restore to retrieve old version but First set up a new Restore Point and call it something like 'Before deleting old version of Burn Aware" so if you need it you know exactly which Restore Point to choose. Be aware that computers have a mind of their own at times so nothing is ever guarantied. Good Luck

Eric, I repeat it about 6 times.

YD Forums, I googled it for you: Boot Disc and Disc Span for example.

YD Forums, Perhaps extract audio from a video.

@YD Forums, yes. Also, how does it compare to ImgBurn which is my goto?

Sue, Buy an external Bluray player/burner...

Sue, You would need to buy a separate blu-ray plug-in device with a compatible USB connection that burns Blue-rays. The actual electronics in your CD/DVD player/burner doesn't have the capability.

"How burn Bluray Disc without Bluray player..."

If cost is a factor, DVDs are included in the official Blu-ray spec, so depending on software [not all burning apps will allow it], you can burn Blu-ray layout & content on DVDs, just less of it.

Sue, simple answer ... you can't you need blueray write/read hardware. External drives drives can easily be bought, or you could buy an internal slimline to replace the DVD drive in your laptop if it has one.

Hasbarat, It's OK now. Thank you, GAOTD!

Hasbarat, Have you tried with another browser, or have you tried as an administrator? It could as well be your antivirus solution, who don't like the wrapper inside. I hope, there's a fix for it
