DVD burning in Windows

View blog reactions Written on April 17, 2007 by Chris Heald

For years now, I’ve used Ahead’s Nero Burning ROM as my CD/DVD burning solution, and it’s worked well. The quality seems to have deteriorated in the past few years, though, putting it more in line with the software that I originally sought to avoid by using Nero - EasyCD Creator, abomination that it is.

I downloaded a Fedora Core 6 ISO today, and needed a way to put it onto a DVD. Rather than searching for my Nero discs, I decided to look and see what Sourceforge had to offer. My first hit was InfraRecorder. It looks extremely promising. Clean, simple, no-nonsense CD/DVD burning, no ugly cruft, and it’s open source, to boot.

I’m writing the ISO right as we speak, but it seems to work well so far. If you’re looking for a new way to burn discs, you might consider giving it a shot.
