Choosing a CD/DVD burning software isn't quite an easy job anymore because there are quite a lot of dedicated tools out there. Leaving the big names in the business and their complex suites aside, among the smaller yet popular apps you can find BurnAware.
The application comes with support for data discs, be them CDs, DVDs, bridge discs, boot discs or blu-ray. With BurnAware you can also create multimedia ones, such as audio, MP3 or DVD-video and images, letting you either make an ISO and save it or burn one to disc.
Our tests revealed that this utility is one of the fastest and easiest to use. Just choose from the main window the type of disc you wish to create, add the files you want to burn and that's basically it.
BurnAware has all the features you'd expect from a powerful CD/DVD burner. It enables you to choose the burning speed and enable post-burning features such as finalizing disc and data verification.
In case you have a rewritable disc you wish to erase or format, this utility can do the job on the spot. Also, to view detailed disc and drive information all you have to do is use the 'Disc Info' function to check out the firmware version, buffer size or supported disc formats.
As a conclusion, BurnAware remains a top pick when it comes to burning solutions. The very strong feature pack coupled with a great ease of use can definitely make this utility a keeper for all users.
