basic cd/dvd copy software?

Hello,
im looking for some simple cd/dvd direct copy software.
freeware and uninstalls cleanly is the creteria.

i sometimes use ashampoo but havent installed it since i changed to 64bit vista.
hoping for something simple that does the job.

 

Look no further than ImgBurn, small yet highly configurable, no issues, fast and cleanly uninstalls.

 

Hi Lodore,

Ugh! I used to use Roxio dumped it. Now I'm using 'Image Burn' small, simple & gets the job done.

Take Care

The one integrated in Windows XP and Vista . Simply drag what you need to be copied in the CD drive section and press a button/link . No need to install or even what Microsoft have already integrated.

 

My choices (in no particular order):

BurnAware http://www.burnaware.com/burnaware_free.html

InfraRecorder http://infrarecorder.org/

If you already have .NET Framework 2.0 or higher on board, I also recommend CDBurnerXP http://cdburnerxp.se/

I also have Ashampoo's Burning Studio 8. If you get one of their discount marketing emails, it can be purchased very reasonably. I think I paid $10 US or so for mine... http://www2.ashampoo.com/webcache/html/1/product_2_1810__.htm

 

if i stuck in a music cd would i be able to do a copy of that? or would it create a data cd instead?

my main needs for disc burning is eiether direct copy of a disc or burning an .iso file to a disc.


on another note:im hoping windows 7 will the ability to mount and burn .iso files to disc on its own.

 

I use CDBurnerXP Pro: http://cdburnerxp.se/

Have used it for years and never any issues. And the price is right....

As mentioned above, needs .NET 2.0 or higher for v4.xx, however, the older 3.xx versions don't.

 

another excellent 'free' on is StarBurn
But as Han has stated BurnAware is a great 'free' one

Starburn holds lots of promise but its early version 1.0 now, I would wait for it to mature a bit more.

 

Its version 10.5 and its been around since I think 2004
when first hit the scene
they used to call it Grab&Burn

yep....2004

ImgBurn ...great for nubies like me

 

Nothing wrong with ashampoo on 64bit windows, it works fine. Burning Studio 6 is available for free from their website if you didn't know.

 

I've used CDRTFE (CDRTools Frontend) for a long time. It has done everything I have asked it to do, including data discs, audio, making and burning images, creating video DVDs, and VCD/SVCD. I am very happy with it. It's free too!!!

 

Thanks for the clarification.

 

@Arup...your welcome
