BRYAN Between version 4.0 and 5.0 we added the following: - Enhanced custom icon support. - Disc image burning as a disc type. - The ability to check or uncheck wether a file or folder is burned in any disc layout easily. - Enhanced burn progress display (along with quite a few other UI improvements). - Burning in simulation mode. - Bit-for-bit ISO creation. - There's many more as well, these are just a few of the changes. Typically we have added a handful of new features every point (1.1, 1.2, etc) release and then saved the bigger releases (1.0, 2.0, etc) for times when a lot of new things are being introduced, a major platform shift is occuring (Tiger, etc) or the code for DiscBlaze has changed dramatically. 6.0 is a really solid release so far. Honestly, the UI improvement alone warrants a 6.0 in my mind. But there are also a number of usability improvements that will make people very, very happy. As for VideoCD support, we initially planned support for this well over a year ago. In fact we even got it mostly functional and was previewed by a small selection of users. The end result? Nobody seemed to care. We asked and asked and asked our users what they wanted in terms of VideoCD functionality... and only one single user we talked to wanted to use it and could tell us what he wanted it to do. Everyone else said "yeah, neat" but that they wouldn't ever actually use it. (That or they never would respond to our questions of what they wanted.) Users were far more interested in things like UDF burning. So we put the VideoCD project off to the side so that we could focus on things users actually wanted. If nobody was going to be interested in a feature, why would we clutter up DiscBlaze and spend a pretty large amount of time and money developing it? We actively sought feedback on this for over half a year. You see, we take a great deal of pride in listening very closely to our users. Most of the changes that have been made in DiscBlaze are direct results of conversations we've had with individuals or groups of users. So, if it turns out that users really do want VideoCD support, talk to us about it. If we know people want something, and we know how they would use it (ie, what specific task they would use it for), then we can seriously look at making that happen if it doesn't hurt the rest of the app. (Version 5.1.7) |
