My goal was to be able to burn data DVDs. I tried 4 other free CD/DVD burn programs before settling on CDBurnerXP. On my system, CDBurnerXP excelled in that:
(#1) it correctly recognized the media (CD or DVD) in the drive, and could tell if it was blank or not
(#2) it could correctly calculate and communicate its progress (20% done, 40% done, etc.) during a job
(#3) when the job is done, the requested files are actually on the DVD, and they are the correct size, and Windows can recognize them. Hooray!
And CDBurnerXP is free!
The other programs all failed on my 3rd criteria, which is a pretty important one, and usually failed the others also.
The only negative to CDBurnerXP is that the Microsoft "dot net framework" is required before you can install CDBurnerXP.
I am running Windows XP Pro SP 2, with current patches, and using an LG CD/DVD drive identified as:
HL-DT-ST DVD-RAM GSA-H54N
Thank you CDBurnerXP!
