Version: DeepBurner 1.7.1.2
"Clean and simple yet useful"
Pros: It has a tiny footprint, which is ideal if you want a clean and simple program that will work on old as well as new hardware. Interface isn't anything special but it's economical, intuitive and easy to use. It's absolutely excellent for a free program - burns audio and data CDs/DVDs, and will also burn ISO images. I haven't tried, but I think you can also create bootable CDs with it. Clean and simple, and quick to use.
Although the CNET review suggests DeepBurner doesn't support buffer-underrun prevention, according to the logs on my machine, it actually does. It doesn't ask - it just enables it if it's there (and why would you want to disable that feature anyway...?).
To top it off, it's stable and works. My machine came with Nero, which consistently burnt corrupt disks. I then uninstalled it and tried Roxio. That made Windows XP unstable and would BSOD frequently. I then tried DeepBurner and it just worked. Unless some clever soul ever ports K3B and its dependancies to Windows, this will be the best Windows CD-burning software around.
Cons: Detection of the CD-writer and its recording speeds are re-done every time you select another CD-drive or bring up the list of recording speeds, causing the user to think that the program has hung, until it works about 5 seconds later.
