I've just experienced a BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) while trying to burn a compilation using InfraRecorder 0.44.1_Rev_3 (more precisely, after InfraRecorder launched mkisofs).
I don't remember I ever had a BSOD on my system. Another DVD burning software installed on the portable drive works just fine.
After that, just for curiosity, I've installed the same version of InfraRecorder_Portable onto the host system (instead of the portable drive). Launched from there, however, the BSOD did not occur.

well it shouldn't make any difference which medium it's run from. i've got BSODs when using other CD burning apps from my hdd but they were random; mby it just randomly occurred when it was off of your flash drive and then didn't occur the second time you ran it. The BSOD is a infrarecorder problem though, not a infrarecorder portable problem. Someone hit a BSOD when this app was in testing. It was suggested to him to update his drivers but i don't know if he ever fixed it or not. here are the posts about it: https://portableapps.com/node/11941#comment-69482
i strongly doubt that the BSOD is caused by an outdated driver. not only that i've always kept all drivers up-to-date, but this is also the first BSOD that i've experienced on my system at all.
however, i agree that it should not make any difference where the software is being launched from. anyway, since I can reproduce the BSOD when started from the portable drive, whereas it does not happen when started locally, there might be a connection.
in my first post i forgot to mention that all my drives (the system as well as the portable) are encrypted using TrueCrypt 5.1a. but, if this would be the reason, it should also happen when started locally.
ok, well can try out the original infrarecorder HERE and tell me if it gives you the same problems? (note: don't use that version past this initial testing because it causes issues when switching pcs) If that version errors then it's a problem with the original program, and if it works then it's possibly an error caused by UPX'ing mkisofs.exe. Please let me know, thanks.
Haven't plucked up the courage to tinker with drivers. Can't risk screwing up laptop at the moment.
That's why XP and Vista have a "driver rollback" feature.
never gotten a BSoD while running infrarecorder, only miswritten .iso files that enabled me not to install ubuntu or freespire.

try version 0.45, it's in pre-release and should be released sometime soon. a lot of updates in this version were geared towards iso and udf stuff. i'm pretty sure those things would also affect linux compatibility and caused your problem in the last version.
