Burning CDs, DVDs and Blu-ray discs opens up a huge number of opportunities. From creating backups of important files to authoring video and audio discs, the possibilities are virtually endless. There are a huge number of disc burning tools to choose from, with free programs often being a little limited and those which offer a greater set of feature being somewhat expensive. FinalBurner provides something of a compromise and is available in two versions - one feature limited free edition, and a paid for version which is more feature rich.

The free version of the program can be used to burn a variety of different types of disc including video and audio discs. An integrated CD ripper makes it easy to convert existing CDs into MP3 format which can then be used to create your perfect compilation discs. When creating video discs you have the option of importing a huge number of video formats including AVI, DivX, WMV and MPEG.

If you’re looking for a few extra features, FinalBurner Pro may be the program you're looking for. With support for even more file formats and the option of capturing footage from a TV tuner as other sources, the creative opportunities are opened up even further - including the creation of high definition discs. Extra features such as disc image creation and burning, a disc label designer and more, even disc burning eventuality is catered for.
