BurnAware Free 4.3

 

This is one cool fully packed burning disc utility that I’ve been using for a while now, and I felt the need to post it here well, because, it’s cool, full-packed, has useful features, its fast and yeah, of course, it’s free!

You can burn all types of CD/DVD and Blu-Ray discs with data, digital photos and music. You can create bootable or multisession CD’s and DVD’s, high-quality audio CD’s, make images and burn them, copy and backup discs.

The features are as follows;

• Burn Data, bootable and multisession discs.
• Burn Audio, video and mp3 discs.
• Create and burn ISO/CUE/BIN Images.
• Copy disc to disc or to ISO Images.
• Erase rewritable discs
• Extract tracks from Audio CD’s.
• Extract data from unreadable or multisession discs.

And it supports;

• All media types (CD/DVD/Blu-Ray discs) including DL (Double Layer).
• All current hardware interfaces (IDE,SCSI,USB,1394,SATA) including AHCI.
• UDF/ISO9660/Joliet File Systems (in any combination).
• On-The-Fly writing (doesn’t stage to hard drive first).
• Verification of written files.
• Multisession DVD-RW/DVD+RW.
• Unicode CD-Text (tracks and disc).
• Windows NT/2000/XP/Vista/7 (32 and 64 bit support). .Net framework, appears not to be required :-)

Now, I could upload lot’s of images with all the different scenarios I can do with this, but let’s stick with the basic interface and some of it’s work.

One thing you have to pay attention is the installer, as it will by default install the “Ask Toolbar”. To avoid this, just deselect the options.

…. Or you can leave it selected, if you actually use it and feel like supporting them (it’s one method that supports Burn Aware Free developers, having this toolbar installed), I personally don’t like it.

The rest of the setup is pretty straight forward, no more (ads), you can Add Burn aware to auto-run (when you insert a blank disc, you’ll have the option to manage it using Burn aware).

The interface itself is quiet simple, organized and easy to work with. Just pick what you want, and you’re ready to go.

There’s no rocket science behind any of this shortcuts, if you want to burn a Data Disc, you’ll have a window to Drag & drop the files you want within, or select the green “+” on the right, or just click “Click here to add files” in the middle” … when you’re done adding what you want, click the big red button saying “Burn” :D

As an example I added some files just to show off what will look like once you add the files in there. And that’s it, for a CD Data disc, you’re set. If you’re recording into a DVD, don’t forget to change below from CD to DVD.

If you want to record an ISO file which you already have on your computer, just click “Burn Image” option in the main menu, browse to where you have the image file (either ISO, CUE or BIN), and click burn :-)

It’s easy, simple, gets the job done in a few easy steps and fast as it can be.
