Free Nero Alternative

Free CD/DVD burner applications like JetBee and BurnAware have been my choice as small and fast Nero alternatives, UsefulUtils Discs Studio is another utility boasting full-featured professional multi-format CD/DVD burning capabilities bundled into an application sizing just 297 KB with setup size of 586 KB.

The free utility supports SCSI, ATAPI, Parallel port, USB and FireWire devices with features like On-The-Fly burning, PerformOPC, Over-burning, Test burning, Buffer Underrun Protection, various burning modes, bootable discs, Multi-session disc burning with choice of session import, multiple disc copies and audio track ripping with conversion to WMA, MP3, OGG and FLAC with FreeDB support.

If you are looking for a small, simple, fast and free CD, DVD and Blue-Ray burning solution JetBee would be the best solution currently available, I have written about Free Nero Alternative before but this one is far better then any other free CD/DVD burner out there.

JetBee is pretty small with installer sized only 1.59 MB and application just 658 KB, the application launches almost instantly and you simply need to Drag-N-Drop files and Click the Burn button to start the burning process, the application then minimize to the system tray so you can work on other things unobtrusively, this is by far the most easiest and fast approach you can get in a CD/DVD/Blue-Ray burner application, JetBee allows creation of Audio-CD, DVD Video and UDF discs with full support for creation of multi-session and bootable media featuring buffer underrun protection, test writing, and optimal power calibration.

The most popular CD/DVD writing software - Nero Burning ROM has evolved a lot from being a simple CD/DVD burner application to a full-fledged all-in-one optical media authoring solution, resulting in adding a lot of bloat and lots of other applications and features that you’ll never really use, so if you are looking to get rid of Nero bloatware and looking for a free, fast and simple alternative to Nero - BurnAware Free is your answer, the free CD/DVD/Blu-ray burning application is pretty much similar to Nero and comes in three versions - Free, Home & Professional, the free version allows you to burn data, audio, and video CDs, DVDs, and Blu-ray discs pretty much sufficing everything you’d ever need.
