DeepBurner , A Versatile CD/DVD Burning Application for Windows (free)

I like nero actually but they are crazy for your money. I mean, you can even buy a low end laptop or a PC for that amount they ask for the full package. But the DeepBurner on the other hand is not a replacer for Nero to be honest. Since Nero is like not just CD/DVD writing, etc but editing, audio mixing.... but if all you want is a software to burn some CD/DVD disks then heck... give a try at the DeepBurner (its totally worth it).

It may not be as beautiful as Nero but do the job just fine...

It can...

*. Data, Audio CD/DVD (DAO, SAO and TAO).

*. Burn and build ISO images.

*. Has built in support for IDE/EIDE, USB, SCSI, and Fire Wire CD/DVD writers.

*. Over burn function (yikes ;-) ).

*. It support CD-R / CD-RW / DVD-R / DVD+R / DVD-RW / DVD+RW / DVD-RAM but not BD yet!.

*. Bootable disk creating support.

*. Simultaneous recorders supported.

*. Very clean and ease to use GUI.

*. Light on memory and loads really faster than Nero (suckerrrrrrrr).

*. Multi language support.

*. Buffer under-run protection.

These are the main functions. The current version is 1.9.0.228. So if you want to install it then - click here to download DeepBurner.
