With the ever falling prices of USB storage devices, people have really started to abandon CDs and DVDs as a mean to carry their files around. But even though USB keys have become a preferable alternative to the shiny, reflective discs, old fashioned media can still be used to send information via snailmail or to create cheap, storable backups.
If you are looking for a totally free, simple, and effective Windows CD / DVD burning software, then you absolutely have to try Totally Free Burner. Since Totally Free Burner is a freeware, you probably expect that the software will be somehow limited feature-wise, but no, absolutely not. Totally Free Burner features a simple, minimalistic interface that will cover ALL your CD / DVD burning needs.
FEATURES
- Supports all current hardware interfaces (IDE/SCSI/USB/1394/SATA)
- Burn Multi-Session or Disc-at-Once mode to ALL supported media formats
- Supports UDF/ISO9660/Joliet Bridged file systems (any combination)
- Supports UNICODE for multi-byte languages
- On-the-fly burning for all image types (no staging to hard drive first)
- Create Bootable data discs or images
- Auto-verification of data images
- Automatic selection of burn modes for Disc-at-Once operations (no special device knowledge required)
Any info on how this compares to DeepBurner, CD Burner XP Pro, or ImgBurn? (Did I miss other free ones? Those are the ones I remember off the top of my head.)
Never tried the one you've listed, but I know it works great for everything I need it to do :)
Can anyone else comment on this?

The free version of DeepBurner is too limited.
I use a program called InfraRecorder. It's an Open Source application that has a very nice, clean, and minimal interface.
You can find the feature list for it here:
http://infrarecorder.sourceforge.net/
* Create custom data, audio and mixed-mode projects and record them to physical discs as well as disc images.
* Supports recording to dual-layer DVDs.
* Blank (erase) rewritable discs using four different methods.
* Record disc images (ISO and BIN/CUE).
* Fixate discs (write lead-out information to prevent further data from being added to the disc).
* Scan the SCSI/IDE bus for devices and collect information about their capabilities.
* Create disc copies, on the fly and using a temporary disc image.
* Import session data from multi-session discs and add more sessions to them.
* Display disc information.
* Save audio and data tracks to files (.wav, .wma, .ogg, .mp3 and .iso).
There's also a portable version at http://www.portableapps.com.
