Burn Your Media for Free with DeepBurner Free

Sure, your computer probably came with Nero Burning ROM or Easy Media Creator -- but what if it didn't? How do you burn your favorite files to CD or DVD?

It looks like a job for DeepBurner Free (cue superhero music here), a freeware app that burns everything - CDs, DVDs in every format - and has some handy features.

First of all, there's a portable version available from the website. Secondly, besides doing a more than commendable job burning all your files and media, it also burns ISO image files. ISO files are usually what you download in order to burn an operating system to CD or DVD for boot and installation. (If you don't happen to know what an operating system is, take your computer back to the store and get a refund.) I like to play around with different types of Linux OSes and live CD s (live CDs are operating systems that run directly from the CD-ROM drive) plus there are recovery programs that have to be burned from an ISO file and run straight from a CD-ROM. Not many of DeepBurner Free's costly competitors can burn an ISO file correctly.

While the interface isn't the prettiest and there's an ad for its pay version - DeepBurner Pro that runs in the top toolbar, it sure beats paying thirty bucks or so. Plus the homepage has a program called DeepRipper that rips music to any format (any format!) to store on your hard drive.

If you want a little more from your media burning software while paying a whole lot less, DeepBurner Free is my personal recommendation.
