CDBurnerXP has never let me down.
CDBurnerXP is so effective that can be compared with the paid CD / DVD Burning Software.

Check always for a newer version, as they constantly improve it.

Do you only rank/rate Windows software? Perhaps the page titles should say that.

CDBurnerXP looks like a perfect replacement to Nero, but with time you discover the multitude of bugs. The version I had from a couple of months ago couldn't drag and drop to specific folders in the DVD - everything went from the hard drive into the root directory of the DVD, and had to be redragged to the specific folder! Annoying as heck.
Worse was that it got this problem that burnt a disc halfway through and then stopped. Thinking it was a bad disk (which is more or less what it reported) I promptly put in another disc, only to eventually realize that ALL burns were going to be bad. The only solution is to reboot the computer. You don't know how many discs CDBXP killed. I downloaded the latest version, which fixed the dragging bug but still has the burning bug. Obviously I'm done using this software, though I believe it has much potential.

Hi,
I am new to the CD/DVD burning game. Can someone provide a link were I can get free software that will allow me to burn an existing DVD to my HP Pavilion a1510n I just purchased. recently married, we wanted to make a copy of our wedding dvd.

I agree with the other guys about the infrarecorder. It is really nice piece of software and is a pity to be missed in the test list. I have only one thing to complain about it. I burned some file with Asian characters as file name and that is not readable any more. I experience this, however, with several other free burner I tried before. Besides that, it is nearly as good as CDBurnXPpro.

CDburnxppro is great ---- I started to equip it for 3 years ago (the over 10M version). I complained (to the author) about unicode support like Asian language file name, and get the answer that their (only?) 2 guys are busy with new .net based burner, and there is no promise it will support in the next release. However, the next release 4.0 series, support it. And it is a pleasure to see the improvement in organizing the GUI. I really like this kind of simple but pretty and easy interface. And it works fine, at least on my systems.

CDburnerXp doesn't support .bin or .cue file burning whic is lame. any one recommend me a program that does. thanks

Ashampo Burning Studio 6 is free. Ashampoo software gives this away for free and it's an excellent burning program. I much prefer it to CD Burner XP. It has an very nice and intuitive GUI. It should have been mentioned in the list of programs. maybe you don't realize it is free because Ashamppo charges for all their other programs. The list should be updated to include it because it's better than all the others listed.

CDBurnerXP is the worst piece of crap around. Way too many fscking bugs. Then again, you get what you pay for.

What about Starburn?

I'm surprised no-one has mentioned CDex as a good free CD-burning program. Open-source, uncomplicated, and not resource-hungry. I use it for burning music (audio) discs and MP3 discs. It doesn't do DVDs, though.

I didn't see any mention to the free version of dvdfab. It gets updated regularly and is what i use first. I make an iso and go to dvdshrink if its too large a file for dvd5, using shrink i create a new iso and burn with dvddecrypter or imageburn. no need for nero burning engine this way...well for you dvdshrink fans, you know about this.

Deepburner doesnt have Data verification feature which i think all disk burning utilities must have.

well HELLO out there! where's linux support? all these appear to be windoze only but what happens when somebody doesn't do "windoze"? fortunately linux already has awesome support (including ripping you know what). and of course these apps are FREE like in free-as-a-bird.

ImgBurn is my favorite and can be portable too:

Im missing infrarecorder here :-) it tops all the others

Use DVD Fab HD Decrypter 4 for easily copying commercial DVDs to the hard drive - it works perfectly.

InfraRecorder! Very good product. Burns anything I throw at it.

Honestly,I don't see why folks seem to think CD Burner XP is a great program.I've tried 3 versions,and just downloaded and tried this new version,and it is buggy as all get out,just as previous versions were.
It refused to burn a CD,saying the media I was using (Maxell 80 min/700mb blank cd) wouldn't hold all the tracks I was trying to burn,while clearly showing it could,with several megs/minutes leftover.I switched to the pre-installed version of "Power DVD" I got with my new computer,which burned it with no problem,then burned another copy using Windows Media player 11 with no problem as well.In fact,I use Windows media player to burn cds all the time,and have never once had an issue with it.Are people just such Microsoft haters that they refuse to use the most obvious solutions that come with every version of Windows??? I'm all for open-source software,and use a lot of it.That's why when I see a program that claims to do something better I try it out.But often,it's really inferior to the Microsoft product at their fingertips.So,I say,"If it ain't broke,don't fix it".

Hi. I just have got to ask this question? How do I copy a DVD - can I with this software..wwith
any software? I've never, ever seen so many problems just trying to copy a dvd. I've read probably
a 100 forums, blogs, sites....etc.. I'm going completely nuts. lol. argh.

Is this possible? again, with any free or paid for software? The more I investigate, the more confusing it
becomes. I downloaded this software and first couldn't figure it out - then thought I copied and burned - but
nope. Also, very confusing interface. Difficult to understand. I remember years ago, put a disc in my drive -
hit record now - and had a copy. (ok, don't remember what it was), but it's got to be easier than this?

Phew. Sorry for the rant. Any suggestions?
Susan
