InfraRecorder is a free, open-source CD/DVD burning tool for Microsoft Windows. It has an extensive list of features.

The software is highly customizable; you can use a different layout for each project, change the toolbar buttons, register the shell extension with any file extension and more.

• show disc information, erase rewritable discs using several different methods, etc.

InfraRecorder Review

Working with InfraRecorder: The GUI (software interface) is hugely intuitive. Just install the software, and as soon as you open it, several large buttons are asking for an individual action: "Data Disc," "Audio Disc," "Video Disc," "Write Image," "Copy Disc," "Read Disc."

Each button speaks for itself, but if you need additional help, check the Help file that comes with the software (it's a little outdated for several features).

Conclusion: I was thinking of describing each step, but I would duplicate the Help file, and you can also find a ton of info on the Internet about this tool. It is one of the most user-friendly programs that I ever saw.

Although it does have several advanced options, I noticed that a few features are missing (e.g., Blu-ray disc support, more image formats and so on). Most users probably won't need them.
