CDBurnerXP is a freeware, portable burning application designed to burn CDs, DVDs, Blu-rays, and HD-DVDs. Its license offers free commercial use as well as private use.
Many free burning applications are short on features or turn out to only be annoying trials but CDBurnerXP is truly free and has plenty of features including creating/burning ISOs, audio CDs, bootable disks, Lightscribe integration, and command line options. It also doesn’t require admin privileges, unlike Nero.
There are two versions, the full-install version and a portable version. Despite what the name suggests, it works on a lot more than XP; supported Windows versions are 2000/XP/2003 Server/Vista/2008/Win7 (x86 / x64).

Very good application. I am using it since long. Good application with all needed features.
-
good, but not good enough. can’t burn vob, ifo, bup files. sometimes I convert movies to vob and need to burn them to disk. cdburnerxp doesn’t allow me to burn it. Ashampoo does. I’ll still keep ashampoo.
-
This is a fantastic application. I have been using CDBurnerXP for many years. Sometimes you have to use something else to achieve other things but it does not take away from it considering the price.

I haven’t needed anything else for burning since finding Imgburn some years ago.
-
Thanks, I was looking for something like this. Portable, small, working on all windows OS :) That is good share.
-
I expect to pick this kind of news up from Majorgeeks etc..
-
Its true..for the longest time I had to download many CD burning programs to find one that wasn’t a trial version. Finally I came across this one last year and it works great!
-
I’ll second CDBurnerXP. Been using this for years. DeepBurner is another good free one.
-
For a free software package, this is absolutely amazing. I’ve been using and testing this software now for a few days and it works without any problems. Also, this tool allows to create ISO images – very nice feature for a free tool.
-
Thanks for this recommendation. I’ll have to try it out. My laptop’s cd burner is out of commission but I plan to buy a new laptop soon. So I’ll likely be needing some good cd burning software soon.

Cdburnerxp sucks.. the interface is painfully slow on modern hardware.. for burning basic audio/data cds go with deep burner.. much better.. free and portable as well…

I’ve been thowing this on customers computers for awhile now. It’s just too easy to use compared to windows built-in utility
-
I’ve been using ImgBurn for all my burning needs, as well as turning CD/DVD’s into ISO’s.

I am still sticking with Burnaware Free.

Try using it to burn chunks created by Acronis True Image to DVDs and you will find it won’t. Ashampoo Burning Studio Free (http://www.softpedia.com/progDownload/Ashampoo-Burning-Studio-Free-Download-98129.html) does and is my favorite.

Great program, been using CD BurnerXP for a long time also!
-
I used CdBurnerXp as my main cd burning software for many years. It is very good software, and I’ve burnt many an ISO and music cd’s with it. I have now switched my desktop to Linux Mint 9 and use Brasero, but highly recommend this program to Windows users.
-
I don’t like CDBurnerXP as have found it didn’t work all the time.
I use http://infrarecorder.org/ which is also free and also has a portable version. -
The fact that CDBurnerXP is a portable burning application makes it among the best ones, along with it being free. But as you know there are more powerful burning softwares in the market that do almost anything…
-
Nice. Why is it these days when you get a pc or laptop you get trial versions or burners and dvd players. Shouldn’t they give you the basic ability to do these simple things.
-
@campus book rentals: great point. When you buy hardware it really should come with a full version of suitable software.
Based on the other comments it looks like I will have to do a bit of research before deciding which cd burning software to use. It seems that other people are recommending other software that is even better.
-
@laptop briefcase,
Your right. I have been looking around as well. I have found that other people have had better reviews of other software, there is just too much for me to shuffle through right now. Which one do you think you like?

imgburn… nough said

I have been using it for a long time and like it a lot. However, just recently the install started including some registry booster. You can tell it not to install but I have never liked programs doing this.
-
I agree with Rich. That registry booster should not be installed. But CDBurner is great. Must use it.
-
Oldie but a goodie.
-
@ psycl0ps
I also tested imgburn – it’s a very powerful tool to create images, but I think, CDBurner is more intuitive and easier to use.

We have moved to ImgBurn from CDBurnerXP because of the .NET requirements of CDBurnerXP. Also, it isn’t available in a “portable” format, so I personally can use it on the road.
Since we remove as many unnecessary programs on our client machines (less vulnerabilities & updates), we use is sparingly ~ though it is an excellent program!

Great Program easy to use

The previous versions were OK but the latest version now uses .Net so I no longer use this.
I don’t allow .Net on any PCs I support.

I personally enjoy imgburn to do most if not all my disk burning.
