DVD and CD burning software that can create images, verify data and control numerous settings for burning data.

Seeking a versatile, feature-rich CD and DVD burning solution that's not only a breeze to use but also absolutely free? Look no further than ImgBurn. Despite its somewhat dated appearance and lack of updates since 2013, this resilient software continues to hold its own as a top contender in the disc-burning world.

Outdated, but still a competent software package

A nostalgic blast from the past, ImgBurn's interface refuses to conform to contemporary standards, delighting long-time users with its classic aesthetic. With a plethora of options at your fingertips, you can effortlessly burn images to discs, write files to discs, and even create images from discs or files.

But wait, there's more! ImgBurn doesn't stop there. You can verify data integrity post-burning, identify newly inserted discs, and enjoy support for a wide array of image filetypes, such as BIN, CUE, DVD, IMG, ISO, MDS, and NRG.

Easy to navigate

Embarking on your disc-burning journey is a cinch: simply choose your source image file, target disc, write speed, and copy quantity. Uncertain about your settings? No problem! Give the test mode a whirl to check for errors without compromising your disc.

Catering to both casual and advanced users, ImgBurn offers customizable settings for those wielding BenQ, Lite-ON, Pioneer, Plextor, or Samsung burners (including OEM). Planning multiple burn sessions? Activate the handy desktop dropzone for quick and easy drag-and-drop file management.

A number of useful options and customizations

Enhance your experience with supplementary tools designed to modify ISO volume labels, generate CUE, DVD, and MDS files, probe SCSI/ATAPI devices, auto-adjust disc writing speed, and reset the DMS. A veritable treasure trove of configuration options awaits in the software's settings panel, covering everything from sounds to file locations.

To conclude

In conclusion, ImgBurn boasts a comprehensive suite of disc-burning tools. And, as the cherry on top, the software entertains with an array of whimsical messages in the status bar – a quirky touch you won't want to miss.
