Free DVD Burning Software - Comments Page 1

CDBurnerXP is free and, despite the name, handles DVDs, too. http://cdburnerxp.se

From the web site: CDBurnerXP is a free application to burn CDs and DVDs, including Blu-Ray and HD-DVDs. It also includes the feature to burn and create ISOs, as well as a multilanguage interface. Everyone, even companies, can use it for free. It does not include adware or similar malicious components.

Their is also InfraRecorder that I recommend

Running Ashampoo Burning Studio on XP results in my PC rebooting whenever I try and use the program. Total crapware in my opinion.

IMGBurn is a great package. It burns CD/ DVD/ HD DVD/ Blu-Ray. It's not a big resource hog, either.

Hi Bob I have Nero 9 but I burn movies on a dvd and can watch them nicely on my pc but not on my home dvd player . any ideas why?

EDITOR'S NOTE: Usually this happens when the file is not "finalized" after burning. See if Nero has an option to do that.

I use Real Player (current version SP)to do the job and like it very much as it can convert different formats and burn a disc that can be played on Home DVD Players. However it is not entirely free. For a one time fee of of $14.99 you can have SuperPass for life and use it for ever for all your burning needs. The updates area lways free. So you don't have to spend more for newer as newer technologies become available. It also saves on any format conversion software as you don't have to buy any.
I highly recommend this.

IMGBURN is an excellent free burning tool. It is simple and will burn .iso formats, C.D's, DVD's etc..

It checks the burn for errors by opening the tray and then closing it to do so, emulating booting the disk.

AVS Disk Creator doesn't actually seem to be free. I downloaded it and couldn't find any way to even try it for free. I tried Ashampoo and it worked great to create a music CD on my PC running XT.

EDITOR'S NOTE: I updated the link for Disk Creator. It's a trial version, but you can create up to 5 discs for free.

Ashampoo Burning Studio 9 has never caused my XP to reboot. However, my complaint is the built-in movie editor only works when my DVD burner is plugged in. I've heard good things about DVD Flick, which is free.

I've used DeepBurner for DVD data discs, just for backups and so on. The free version, after thirty days, is still useable, it just removes some of the more advanced features.

I'm not so sure the CD format is really on its way out because of the DVD. Let's say, you want to burn data that's only a few megabytes (or anything under 700 megs)... would you really want to reach for a blank DVD rather than the less expensive (and still on most systems easier to read) CD medium? A more compact/practical storage medium may be on the near horizon that will make the CD format obsolete, but this new storage medium will make the DVD obsolete as well. The way I see it - if the CD becomes obsolete, then its cousin, the DVD, is soon to follow.

I have used Ashampoo since version 5 and now have stopped at version 8. I love the program's simplicity and it has never failed me. I had burned discs on the past with Nero and Roxio and others were not able to read them on their computer.

DVD Shrink - lol

How can I find out what type of DVD my drive will burn. I can not find any documentation about the maker of the drive I have. It currently rejects a new DVD+R 16x4.7GB 120min The message I get says I need to insert a blank disc

K3B works well for data DVD files and comes with the KDE destop on linux systems. The Video DVD creation software that Comes with KDE makes the Video files and calls K3B to do the deed.

I've used InfraRecorder for a few years now. Simple, very reliable and all the features I need without a lot of bloat and features I don't.

I've been burning DVDs for the past 9 years with most of the programs mentioned above but I find as keepers VideoReDo ($75) and Nero Express 6 (its down and dirty and free). VideoRdDo is great for putting multiple movies on one disk, even editing their format (4x3,16x9,720x480 & HD) I got VideoReDo originally to move DVR movies to DVD but I found that when it burns a movie to disk it also burns it to the hard drive in the same video format.
VideoReDo removes commercials automatically.

I've been using CDBurnerXP for several years. Burns all types of CDs & DVDs that I know of - data, audio, video, iso and even Blu-Ray if you have the hardware. I've run it from 2K, XP, Vista and Win7. Best of all, it's free! It's available at:

The author's website is nicely done, and contains an amazing amount of useful information.

you said the software was free - I downloaded the AVS and it only allows 5 burns then you have to pay ..... dud...... are there any good "actually free" ones out there ... anyone know

EDITOR'S NOTE: Did you try the other one (aShampoo) that I recommended?
