Reviewed by: CNET Staff
Though this multifaceted burning tool won't win any beauty awards, it has almost everything Windows users need to create CDs and DVDs. One of the most glaring needs for Windows XP users is a DVD burner, and CDBurnerXP Pro fits the bill well. Despite a slightly confusing interface, this freeware tool should not disappoint users who take the time to familiarize themselves with its functionality.
The core of the program's feature set consists of three main tasks, which are prompted via a wizard upon start-up: writing data CDs and DVDs, creating CDs for audio playback, and ripping music from CDs or editing ID3 tags. Canceling the wizard results in a rather blank blue screen with only a few selections in the toolbar. In order to work on a new project, you'll need to select one of the options, which can be brought back via the "New document" icon in the upper left. Unfortunately, you can't even open an existing project without selecting one of the wizard options first.
The program supports both burnproof and on-the-fly disc writing, as well as bootable ISO files, but it cannot burn double-layer DVDs, a feature promised for version 3.5, which is currently in alpha development. While it may take users some time to learn how to use it effectively, CDBurnerXP Pro is a competent tool and a great value.

Version: CDBurnerXP 4.0.022.370
Pros: After easy installation I got no error(s), no missing drive(s) and no other problem(s). CDburnerXP has exact 100% reliable data, copy and adding files burning. Don't forget to have Microsft .Net Framework 2.0 installed before you install CDburnerXP. I now have version 4.1.2.694 via his website on my XPSP3 HP computer and I am surprisingly very enthusiast and very satisfied about CDburnerXP, which also burns DVD's, Blu-Ray discs and HD-DVD's for Operating Systems: 2K, XP, 2003Server and Vista. I was a Roxio Easy Media Creator 7 fan, but because of incompatibility with Internet Explorer 7 I had to find an other burning program and I am glad to have taken the risk.

Version: CDBurnerXP 4.0.022.370
Pros: It isn't too hard to figure out (but has LIMITED burning options such as ISO), although I've seen easier and more pleasant to use such as Ashampoo which is amazing.
Cons: If you landed here because you searched, like me, "burn nrg dvd" and sorted on "free license", I strongly recommend you look elsewhere. It does NOT burn NRG. It theoretically converts nrg to iso. But when I try to do that, it tells me it already has an iso structure and aborts. So if it has an iso structure, I figured maybe it can burn it anyways... that's what I tried, and the time went from 8 min estimate to 212 minutes and I could not terminate the application.

Version: CDBurnerXP 4.0.022.370
Pros: I have used this on WinXP for a long time now - perhaps 18 months or more, and it has never gone wrong or missed a beat. It burns music, data, backs up data, writes ISO images. It writes both standard DVD and CD, and easily erases RW's ready for rewriting.

Version: CDBurnerXP 4.0.022.370
"Not for DVD-video, it seems; otherwise, nice."
Pros: Does a good job for music and data (photos, etc.). Useable interface.
Cons: Note that when you open v. 4.0.022, you're given the option of burning a data CD/DVD or an audio CD. So far as I can determine, CDBurnerXP cannot burn standard format DVD-video. See the forum on their web site. A data DVD is not the same as a video DVD. I burned several samples and none would play properly in my Sony DVD player. For me, a fatal flaw.
