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 4.2.4.1255
"It works, and it works fast."
Pros: Easy to use.
Fast.Cons: On the first burning session, it didn't well recognize my drives, but since then, no more problems with it.
Summary: It's definitely a good replacement for all others burning programs, like Nero, for free! It beats Nero easily in fastness.

Version: CDBurnerXP 4.2.4.1255
Pros: Great replacement for the over bearing Nero burning software. Copy and create CDs, burn ISO, and even create ISOs. Works great for all my needs. I install it on every machine I work on.
Cons: None that I can see.
Summary: If you need a burning program that you can replace Nero or the such, and you don't want all the bloat that Nero and Roxio have then this the software you need.

Version: CDBurnerXP 4.2.4.1255
"First use failed...would not recognize a 700MB disc."
Pros: Easy to use
Cons: Could not get 700MB discs to be recognized. The software would always show that my 700MB discs only had 576.69 megabytes free.
Summary: First use of CDBurnerXP 4.2.4.1255 resulted in a failure because it would not recognize a 700MB disc. I checked updates and the program returned the result that I have the most current version. Trying several different discs did not help. A quick... read more >>
