2014 Update: For Microsoft Windows users, <big>'''CDBurnerXP Pro'''</big> is the CD/DVD burning software we recommend. Although the primary download installer has OpenCandy, the developer offers several alternative download options that are OpenCandy free, and free of any other adware/spyware/malware (as of this writing). ''See below with download link.'''''Avoid ImgBurn'''. All ImgBurn installers contain OpenCandy adware/spyware/malware for the recent releases. This is considered PUP grayware. Use at your own risk.''Side Note: Nero image files are standard ISO files except for a 300k header at the start. A Nero image file can be converted to standard ISO with the dd command, like this: dd bs=1k if=image.nrg of=image.iso skip=300''[[Image:15star.png]][[Image:30star.png]]The interface look like a less refined copy of and old Nero burning Rom. The interface is clean, and all of the basic features are present. The screen flickers when dragging windows within the application. CDBurnerXP currently does not support burning with the UDF filesystem, which is needed for some DVD players to work. CDBurnerXP does not contain adware nor spyware nor any other restrictions. It is absolutely free. You can overburn with this software too, just add as much data to CD layout as possible and start burning (ignore warning messages if any).The interface is reminiscent of Nero burning Rom.

CDBurnerXP software itself, after installation, does not contain adware nor spyware nor any other restrictions. The developers have decided to include OpenCandy Spyware/Adware/Malware in the installer. However they have been gracious enough to offer an alternative installer that DOES NOT contain OpenCandy. Credibility is lost due to OpenCandy, yet the product remains what is perhaps the best '''free''' DVD burning software right now for the Windows platform.During the test the software would lot allow an ISO image to be written to disc faster than 2x, even though the drive was capable of much higher speeds. There were errors during the burn attempt also.With older versions there were errors during the burn attempt. Testing the latest version, 4.5.2, with a standard Lite On DVD burner, there were no errors. All burns were successful and reliable.DOWNLOAD WITHOUT OPENCANDY: Avoid the PUP!

But please consider dropping the OpenCandy. It is a sinister product that is "grayware" at best. Instead, have a Paypal link for direct donations. You have a 5 star product that is tarnished by the OpenCandy Spyware/Adware/Malware in the installer. On the plus side, we are grateful for your consideration in offering an alternative installer that does not have OpenCandy. Thank you.''</small>
