DVD Writer Programme

There is a free "lite" version of Nero 9 on their website, I have an OEM version of Nero 8 on my Windows partition and is Ok. I think it is crippled by lacking mpeg2 capability, but otherwise is OK. may be worth a look at:

It is a 32 Mb download however.

It only allows you to burn data to disc - something Windows has been able to do for itself since XP was released in 2001. It does do several other things, but none of these are of any benefit to the user.

Quick Comparison:

• Windows XP: Audio/Data CD
• Windows Vista: Audio/Data CD; Video/Data DVD; UDF
• Windows 7: Audio/Data CD; Video/Data DVD; Data BD; UDF; ISO image burning
• Nero 9 Free: Data CD; Data DVD

Thanks for that, as I mainly use Ubuntu Brasero does most things I need, so sadly of no use to the OP, are the files he wishes to burn data or media? knowing that better advice may be forthcoming.

For free ~ IMGBURN if basic data files or image files

Don't want to state the obvious, but if you install DVD Flick, ImgBurn is installed as well; since it is the disc burning component of the program.

If there is no obvious way to start it, it's probably there: C:\Program Files\DVD Flick\imgburn\imgburn.exe You can then double click to start it.

Imgburn is getting my vote as well.
