ImgBurn is brilliant, but it does indeed sadly have a potentially dodgy installer. A post on the cdrlabs forum mentioned an easy way of using it without risking any unwanted crap:

Simply use 7zip to open the installer exe file, and extract the 2 exe files and Sounds directory. The rubbish is all in the $PLUGINSDIR directory.

Good advice, thanks for the info.

Edit: nevermind, crossed post.
Yeah, shame on them.

I use imgburn. Yes there is malware bundled with it but if you select the right options during install you can have it without.

I think that the old Sony BDP-S360 might be playing a big part in my fiasco… Any suggestions for some quality BD-R DL disc brands to use and/or a BD-Player that’s confirmed to display the ISO menus?

I have the same blu-ray player and it’s never had a problem with anything I’ve burned.
The BD25 and BD50 discs I’ve been using are Japanese made TDK.

I’ve been lurking and following this keenly, please include me on the private thread.

Great news DJ! I would really appreciate a blu-torrents invite. I've been looking forward to the Terminator releases for a long time.

Thanks to the team for all your hard work on SW77! This looks amazing considering the source and the menus are very professional looking.

Agreed.  I built a new PC last year and have my system/software/pagefile on a Corsair Force GS on SATA 3 (6GB/s) with >500MB/s read/write speeds.

I appreciate this doesn't make any difference when processing large files stored on a mechanical disk but for everything else it's well worth the £100 it cost me.

This article is worth a read especially for the comments regarding the pagefile:

And after all that, he can fix the Holiday Special. :D

It's already been done: CLICK

With all the bad stuff being cut out, run time came down considerably though.

Does anyone have this to share considering the file was removed?

Maybe someone could upload it to Myspleen :)

I've uploaded it here:

I've uploaded it here:

http://www.sendspace.com/file/nuoz65

That looks like a better version than any of the ones currently on usenet.

If you upload it I'll gladly help seed.

I found 4 versions of Building Empire on usenet in a.b.starwars

If anyone is having trouble finding them there, try searching for the following:

BUILDING_EMPIRE-NTSC
BUILDING_EMPIRE-PAL
BUILDING_EMPIRE-PAL-MIAMI
MIAMI_BE_PAL_NOV_2008

Yes, almost all the content is out there but I for one would be very happy to see it collected in one place and in the best quality yet.
