In some cases, recording information on optical discs is still in demand. In particular, it is on them that it is best to copy the system image, since even very ancient motherboards support installation from a CD. So which disc burning software is best suited for this?
I must say that the specificity of our users is that in the first place they will look for free applications to perform such an operation. However, it is understandable: who wants to pay several thousand rubles for a program that you will use only occasionally? There are thousands of programs for recording, and therefore it is simply not possible to describe each of them.
For the most conservative and not wanting to look for any alternatives, there is the opportunity to use the standard Windows OS tools. However, these disc burning programs are not of special quality. Therefore, let's talk about the recognized leaders of this market. Of course, the product of the well-known company Ahead - the Nero program - comes to mind first of all. This product to this day has reached version 12, and from year to year its cost is constantly growing.
So if you need a free program for burning discs, then this "German" is clearly not suitable for you. However, the quality of Nero is at a very high level, so it is difficult for someone who needs professional software to advise something better.
The next leader on our list is CDBurnerXP Pro. For many years now, it has been the unconditional choice of many specialists, since it is not only completely free, but also has an amazing set of functions. In particular, the program has a full-fledged Russian-language interface, which even a completely inexperienced user will quickly understand. In addition, the application is small in size, so it will not be difficult to download it even if there is a poor Internet connection.
Nero's competitor is Ashampoo Burning Studio. The program is paid, but costs slightly less than its illustrious competitor. Of the advantages, it is worth noting high-quality and complete Russification, a convenient and intuitive appearance, as well as a considerable number of additional functions.
In general, it should be noted that even generally recognized market leaders strive to attract users to their products in every possible way, resorting to various tricks. In particular, many commercial disc burning programs come with high-quality media players, utilities for checking discs for errors, and other “add-ons”. It is difficult to say how useful all this is, but when you buy them in bulk, you can save some money. However (for obvious reasons) this is not so relevant for our country.
Thus, programs for burning discs have a rare variety, among which it is extremely difficult to choose the product you really need. To simplify the torment of choice, use trial versions that will help you understand all the advantages and disadvantages of a particular application.
