Burn audio CDs, data discs and images
One screen burns music CDs for the car, data discs up to Blu-ray, and ready-made .iso or .bin/.cue images — with verified burns, live write speed, multisession editing and rewritable erasing. No extra burning software.
How to use it
- Open Burn Disc and pick your drive — or pick Image recorder to save an
.isoor.bin/.cueinstead of burning anything. - Choose Audio CD, Data disc, or Audio + data, then drop files and folders (or a disc image) onto the screen.
- Insert a disc — its type, real capacity and the write speeds the drive supports are detected automatically; rewritables can be erased right there.
- Click Burn. You see live progress, the current write speed and the file being written, and the disc is verified against the source afterwards.
Audio CDs that play everywhere
Drop audio files — or a whole folder, and just the audio inside is taken — and get a standard audio CD any car stereo or hi-fi can play. Gapless burning keeps live albums seamless, CD-Text puts track names on players that show them, and the tracks are prepared in parallel before the laser starts.
Not sure about a stack of cheap discs? A test run goes through the whole burn with the laser off.
Data discs, from 650 MB CD to 100 GB Blu-ray
Data burning covers CD, DVD and Blu-ray, dual layer and BD-XL included, with the real capacity read from the disc itself. Multisession support means a disc doesn't have to be finished in one go: add more files to it next week, or hide files you no longer want visible on an appendable disc.
An overburn option squeezes a few extra minutes onto 90/99-minute CD-R media, and a capacity check warns you before a burn that can't fit.
Images, erasing and trust
Ready-made .iso and .bin/.cue images burn as-is — and the same screen works in reverse: choose the image recorder as your drive and the burn is written into an image file instead, no blank disc needed.
Rewritables get a quick erase (seconds, for reuse) or a full erase, plus a privacy blank that overwrites the whole surface when a disc held something sensitive. And after every burn, verification re-reads the disc and compares it against your source files — not just a 'probably fine'.
Questions and answers
Can I add files to a disc I burned earlier?
Yes. Insert the disc and its existing contents show up on the burn screen — add new files or remove entries you no longer want listed, then burn just the new session. Works on any disc that was left open for appending.
What's the difference between quick erase and full erase?
Quick erase clears just the disc's table of contents — done in well under a minute, and fine for reusing a disc. Full erase overwrites the entire surface. The Privacy blank in the settings does a full overwrite on demand, for discs that carried data you want properly gone.
Can I create an ISO without burning anything?
Yes — choose Image recorder instead of a physical drive, and the burn is saved as an .iso (data) or .bin/.cue (audio) file you can mount, archive or burn later.
How do I know the burn actually worked?
Leave Verify after burning on: the disc is reloaded so the drive reads what was really written — not a cache — and the contents are compared against the source. If the media was marginal, you find out now, not in two years.
Which platforms support what?
Linux gets the full engine: audio CDs, mixed-mode discs, images, overburn, test runs, erasing and multisession editing. Windows burns data CDs, DVDs and Blu-rays. macOS burns CDs and DVDs through the system burning services.
