Infrarecorder is easy to use, free, open source and will enable you to create a CD or DVD with your data, music or a live disc from an iso file.įirst download the installer. Live discs allow you to boot outside of your Windows operating system to try other operating systems like Linux, or to troubleshoot problems.

Overallįast, efficient, open source with completely portable version. I like such type of interface myself (with tuned toolbar), but it is not as good as CDBurnerXP to recommend to novice user.

Large task buttons look nice, but they are hardcoded and stay English when another interface language is chosen. Option to change them is also unobvious in View > Toolbars > Customize > Icon options. While I like clean look default toolbar icons are definitely too small for comfortable use. some advanced options (if you ever need them).I hadn’t burned (ever) audio discs and such, but data and ISO burning so far were smooth and reliable. It seems to settle as de-facto standard for burning software and it fits just fine here. What it doesĪpp has usual interface with home screen that lists tasks and horizontally split Explorer-like windows for projects.

InfraRecorder development was quiet for a while, but it had been recently revived with new release and portable version from PortableApps. I started to think about swapping CDBurnerXP (and its questionable portable status) for something definitely portable that I can keep neatly tucked away most of the time. Lately my disc burning is next to nothing (yay for large hard drives and fast connections).
