(1,92 MiByte, zip archive, includes: cdrtfe.exe, translations, cdrtfeShlEx.dll, readme and help files)

• Data-DVD: Added multiborder DVD support (cdrecord 2.01.01a50 and newer) for DVD-R and DVD-RW. A DVD-RW which has been written in multiborder mode has to blanked fully to reuse it for another writing mode.
  Important:
  According to the cdrecord man page multiborder DVD writing is done in the same way like writing multisession CDs. So, cdrtfe has been adjusted to allow this for DVD-R(W) discs.
  However, I haven't been able to successfully continue a multiborder DVD, cdrecord always complained about not having enough space left regardless how much data was to be written.
  I am not sure what causes this problem (cdrecord, system, drive). If you want to use this new feature, try it with a rewritable disc first.
• Splashscreen can be disabled (Startoption /nosplash or cdrtfe.ini, Section [General] Nosplash=1).
• Show the remaining space in the status bar.
• Folders are now displayed in the file listview (Data CD, XCD).
• Added sliders to allow resizing of the folder treeviews and file listviews (Data CD, XCD).
• All dialogs for selecting files or folders now remenber the last selected folder.
