We’re pretty sure that choosing one CD/DVD software application isn’t quite an easy job anymore, not because there’s no such tool on the market, but because there are so many that it’s impossible to pick the one that fits you best.
BurnAware is one of the best apps in the pack and you will get that just by looking at the main window.
The application comes with support for data discs, be them CDs, DVDs, bridge discs, boot discs or blu-ray, multimedia ones, such as audio, MP3 or DVD-video and images, letting you either make an ISO or burn one.
The installation procedure isn’t difficult at all, but it’s better to pay attention to the included steps because the setup kit also includes some unnecessary tools that BurnAware doesn’t need to work properly.
But the application remains one of the fastest and easiest to use we’ve ever seen. Just choose the disc you wish to use from the main window, add the files you wish to burn and that’s basically it.
The only problem we’ve found during our test concerns the way you have to add files on a new compilation. It doesn’t support drag and drop, which means you have to use the “add files” button every time you wish to add content on your new disc.
Other than that, it has all the features you’d expect from a powerful CD/DVD burner. It lets you choose the burning speed and enable post-burning features such as finalizing disc and data verification.
As a conclusion, BurnAware remains a top pick when it comes to burning solutions and no matter how hard you’d try, you can’t find one that’s easier to use.
