DVD Author Plus 2.32
A simple, free CD and DVD burning package

DVD Author Plus is an easy-to-use disc burning package.

The program supports burning data CDs and DVDs, video DVDs and ISO images. And it works much like any other disc burning package: you drag and drop in the files you need, perhaps just choose an option or two, then burn your project. Very straightforward.

There are also plenty of limitations, though.

The program supports all the usual CD and DVD disc types, for instance (CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RW, DVD+RW, DVD-RAM), but not Blu-ray discs.

You get very few image-related options. DVD Author Plus can't open an existing image to work with it, say, and there's no support for creating images in any format other than ISO.

And while it's good to see a free burning package which can create video DVDs, this is about as basic as disc authoring gets. File format support is quite limited (the program couldn't handle our test MOV files, for example), and DVD Author Plus is only able to create discs which play right away: there's no support for creating menus at all.

Verdict:

DVD Author Plus provides a quick and easy way to create basic data and video discs. It's very short on features, though: if you're a demanding user you'll probably want to look elsewhere

Spotlight: Free Full Software

Ashampoo Burning Studio 2013 (v11.0.6)

Free Full Commercial Software

Ashampoo Burning Studio 2013 is a compact, simple, but surprisingly feature-packed disc burning suite.

The program makes it easy to create simple data discs and audio CDs, for instance: just drag and drop your files onto the list area and you'll be burning the finished disc in a couple of clicks.

That's just the start, though. Burning Studio 2013 can also create data discs with customised, interactive multi-page menus, perfect if you'd like a more professional way to share and present the disc contents.

A built-in backup tool allows you to create backups which may be encrypted, compressed, and span several CDs, DVDs and Blu-rays.

And there are modules to create VCD or SVCD video projects; burn video DVDs or Blu-ray discs from prepared folders; create, browse or burn disc images (ISO, CUE/ BIN and Ashdisc formats are supported); copy discs, erase them, design and print disc covers, labels and booklets, and more.

The focus throughout is on ease of use, though, and so Ashampoo Burning Studio 2013 remains very straightforward, whatever you're doing. Most disc projects are created via the same simple interface, and for the most part all you have to do is drag and drop the necessary files. But experts will find more advanced options are only a click away, and if you need to then you can set ISO and UDF version, enable Joliet, make a disc bootable and more.

Note the download here will take you to the Downloadcrew Software Store where you can download Burning Studio 2013.
