IsoBuster 4.3

This version further improves on finding Video on various DVD formats (DVD-VR, DVD+VR, DVD-VFR), so that you can extract the different recordings. Forensics investigators will also appreciate the ability to see when the different recording were made.

Changes:
* Support for DVD-VR (show different recordings)
* Support for DVD-VFR discs. Auto-detect the IFO / VOB / BUP file-sets
* Support for the DVD+VR standard on DVD-R/W discs
* Support for DVD+VR 2.0

Improvements:
* DVD+VR Title of recording shown (if available)
* DVD-VR Title of recording shown (if available)
* DVD+VR TimeStamp parsed and shown
* DVD+VR "ULEAD SYSTEMS" workarounds (2.0 without proper Video start address / 2.0 without version byte set)
* Show GMT Offset when date-time is known for an IFO file object
* Auto-recognition support for 2056 byte / block image files
* Added IsoBuster path to DOS box PATH variable
* SectorView via the command line
* Open / Close via the command line
* Set install exe's file-version
* Remember size of ListView Columns
* Display address of Metadata file in UDF properties window
* Improved Time and Date display in ListView. Take User-set variations in acount when present.
* Various smaller improvements.

Fixes:
* Fix for UNC file-paths (and other protocols) when passed via the command line

Changes:
- Added font recognition (e.g. true type) during the scan for missing files based on file signatures.

Improvements:
- Work around for bad behaving drives that return a start address other than 0, for the first track on a DVD-R, using certain commands (e.g. seen with LITEON DVD-ROM LTD 163 but can quite possibly also occur with other drives)
- Work around for bad behaving drives that return a track length of 0, for tracks on DVD-R, using certain commands (e.g. seen with HL-DT-ST GDR8162B (fw 0015) but can quite possibly also occur with other drives)
- Updates, content and translations, in Help, Installer and Program resources.
- Various graphical improvements for VISTA. Text cut due to window width, flickering of progress bar etc.
- Disabled Asynchronous Drag and Drop on VISTA systems again. Sometimes this lead to an error message, the second time a drop was done.
- Various smaller improvements.

Fixes:
- Various smaller bugfixes.

Fixes:

Changes:
- BD (Blu Ray) and HD DVD support.
- UDF 2.6.
- Implemented the ability to use other system installed code pages, such as MAC, SYMBOL, UTF8 etc., for ISO9660.
- Properties for drives show, next to CD and DVD, also BD and HD DVD Read and Write capabilities.
- Installation and IsoBuster.exe are now code signed to make Windows (more or less) happy.
- Implemented ASynchronous Drag and Drop (file extraction) on VISTA systems to avoid the VISTA over-write dialogue to become stuck under the IsoBuster window, which looks like a hang, but it isn't.
- VISTA style directory icons when ran on a VISTA system.
- Start with font Tahoma on XP or Segoe UI on VISTA.
- Smaller changes here and there.

Improvements:
- Default to SPTI on a VISTA system, even when the app is not running in admin mode.
- Now possible to drag files immediately to the XP writer drive letter (staging area)
- HTML help would not launch on VISTA due to OS changes. This is now correctly implemented.
- On VISTA the Panel with image-file-name was often not properly painted. Changed the Panel with a another Windows component.
- File-extension associations setting in the installer now improved with 'set all', 'clear all' buttons.
- HFS(+) Mac File System, with multiple of 512 byte blocks support.
- Cut long boot image-file name to spec value (if not delimited by terminating zero) to avoid illegal filename according to Windows.
- Improvements in the file-type-recognition code (files found based on their signature): *.qt, *.kbf
- Added *.VRO to the file-type list that gets the dialogue that also offers to replace with all zeroes on read errors.
- Directory (Folder) names are now ALWAYS trimmed on the right side, if the file-system contains such folder names. Windows cannot create a folder name with a trailing blank, so file extractions to that folder would fail.
- Release SPTI handle immediately of all non-optical devices. No reason to keep it open during program execution.
- Do not automatically suggest to create an IBP/IBQ file anymore if the "drive" is in fact an image file ! (any image file).
- Properties' dialogues for files and folders now show the attributes (A,R,S,H,C)
- Various small improvements here and there.

Fixes:
- In certain situations, with certain DVD discs, on certain DVD drives, not all sessions were seen. This is now fixed in the new CD/DVD recognition engine.
- Fix in Boot Emulation size determination. Before, the actual amount of 512 byte blocks was not correctly taken in account. In real life however the implementation was correctly dealing with most situations out there.
- Fixed that +VR recording-sizes were wrapped when the recording is larger than 4 GB

Changes:

# IsoBuster splash screen, which will stick until the main window is loaded, which can take a while sometimes when a drive is just mounting a 'difficult' disc and is not responding to commands immediately.
# Added option to the GUI (in Options) for administrators to grant low level access to storage devices for other users on the system.
# Multi-language support in the installer itself.
# IsoBuster theme in About box.
# Various icon improvements.
# An object selection is now also available and accessible via the Main Window (File / Sel. Object(s))
# Shift+F10 and context menu (between Alt Gr and Ctrl on the right) button click implemented.
# *.NCD (or subsets of *.NCD) image file support.
# The multi-extent icon next to a file or folder is *not* shown anymore by default, after a fresh install, to avoid confusion, set it in the options if required.

Improvements:

# Updated some of the auto recognizing features for Movie DVDs.
# Changed the more-sessions-in-one-track interpreter to also be able to deal with Nero Cmd made discs (they don't have the typical Nero signature)
# Work-around for a particular drive problem (DL-DT-ST DVD-ROM GDR8163B, or possibly a generation of drives) which caused DVD(+R/W) media not to be mounted OK.
Tracks and Sessions were not always correctly identified.
# Improvement to match IBP/IBQ managed image files to actual CDs in certain drives better, has to do with reserved tracks.
# Load read-only (write protect) IBP/IBQ files but put up a dialog warning for the user and allow him/her to unload the image again.
# Addded a dialog for when the IsoBuster.exe has been changed, to warn the user that there might be a virus on the system.
# Filter and replace illegal characters in file names before extraction for all file-systems, not just only for HFS.
# Various changes here and there to work better with Vista public Beta 2, which has changed considerably compared to previous Vista beta version.
# Various internal improvements, staying up to date with drive evolutions.

Fixes:

# Fixed some minor GUI related issues. You probably never noticed.
# Fixed a rare situation where IB could run into an exception error when there is NO file-system layout on the disc.
# Fixed small bug in the HFS file-extension recognition. Not all known extensions were actually assigned.
# Fixed that some extracted files, via the Mac HFS+ file system, were 2KB too big.
For most files this is no problem, but for text files some editors would display the extra rubbish at the end which is potentionally annoying.
