InfraRecorder: Open source CD/DVD burner
Looking for a good CD/DVD burning utility, but short on cash? Yesterday we mentioned that CDBurnerXP had been updated to include Blu-Ray and HD-DVD support among other things. And in the comments one reader pointed out another excellent (and free) disc burner.InfraRecorder is an open source utility that doesn't skimp on features or accessibility. Once installed, you'll notice you can either launch InfraRecorder or InfraExpress. The latter version features a slimmed down interface with wizards for burning data, audio, and video discs. It's sort of InfraRecorder for dummies. The full feature gives you a ton of options that might confuse folks used to using Nero Smart Start.
Here are a few of the things you can do with InfraRecorder:
- Create data, audio, video, and mixed-mode discs
- Record dual-layer DVDs
- Four methods for erasing discs
- Record disc images (ISO and BIN/CUE)
- Scan SCSI/IDE bus for devices and capabilities
- Create disc copies using temporary disc image
- Import session data from multi-session discs and add more sessions
With Halloween fast approaching, it's a great time to get in some practice defending your territory against zombies. In Graveyard Shift, you take aim at zombies and other creepy-crawlies, blasting them into splatters of cartoony green guts. It's a casual first-person shooter, and it's very easy to get the hang of - use the mouse to aim, click to fire. Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet.
They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...

The ability to create disc copies using a temporary disc image alone makes this a better option than CDBurnerXP. I used CDBXP whenever I had to create a disk, but always got stymied when I had to copy one. Not anymore!

Nice! I might be able to finally ditch Nero for something open source ;)

This is to Nero Burning ROM what FoxIt Reader is to Adobe Reader... InfraRecorder is simply fantastic!

I have a bin/cue and it shows burn "successful" but there is nothing on the disk. What am I doing wrong? The cue is code "mode1/2048"
