"The best free burning software I've encountered..."
Pros
By far the best free burining software I've encountered, it offers support for CDs and DVDs, including the varying formats, adjustable burning speed for increased stability, and quick audio/data/ISO options.
Cons
The outdated and occasionally glitchy interface is lacking compared to most alternatives and the option menus could have been laid out better for those less familiar with using such software.
In addition it lacks some of the advanced features of alternatives such as Nero. For instance, if an ISO is larger than the media you are burning it on there is no prior warning. Instead it burns as far as it can and then displays an error message when it runs out of space.
Overall though, it's still a hard application to pass up since it is a fairly powerful burning application that rarely burns coasters, and most importantly, is completely free.
