CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff on February 20, 2006
This CD and DVD burner works as advertised, but the bundled toolbar it installs reduces its appeal. Burn4Free CD & DVD lets you burn audio discs or write data to CDs and DVDs by dropping audio or data files into the main window.
The button-heavy main window has a somewhat awkward look, but it's easy enough to understand. If you find yourself overwhelmed by the multitude of controls, you can switch to the more streamlined Easy mode. Be aware that the app attempts to install the NavExcel toolbar, which changes the way IE behaves when you mistype a URL or enter one of NavExcel's recognized keywords into the address bar.
Budget-minded users may not care, but even they have plenty of other cheap and free options. We'd prefer to burn discs with our jukebox of choice or pay for a more full-featured, less invasive application.

Version: Burn4Free CD and DVD 4.8
"I deleted my old burner soft and trying Burn4Free."
Pros: Install came out to 5.4megs. Ran it and configured it so that all the icons were not visible. This leaves a clean text menu across the top. The file manager area is larger now. Drag n drop your files, then two mouse clicks and your burning.
Cons: The install asks if you want to install a web browser toolbar addon. I declined but the program installed this anyway. Fortunately, you can uninstall this and still keep the burner soft installed <Sweet>
Summary: Small install size. Easy to use. Works like it should and its free!

Version: Burn4Free CD and DVD 4.8
"Can't burn DVD video from files"
Pros: It's free.
Cons: It can't burn a video DVD from VIDEO_TS and it installs its browser toolbar even though you don't check the boxes. Lots and lots of ads for their other software. Most of the buttons are just website and download links.
Summary: Pure waste of time!
