ImgBurn: Free CD/DVD image burning for Windows

ImgBurn
Looking a way to burn a disc image to a CD or DVD but don't want to shell out the money for a copy of Nero? ImgBurn is a free Windows app that does just what it's name would suggest: it burns images. You can also use it to create images from CDs or files on your computer.

ImgBurn isn't the only game in town. CDBurnerXP or InfraRecorder are also both free, and they also support burning images to a disc. Both programs are also a bit easier to use if you want to create a compilation, audio CD, or pretty much anything other than a disc image. But ImgBurn's focus on disc images makes it ideal if you're happy with the built in Windows XP/Vista disc burning utilities, but simply need a solution for burning ISO, NRG, or BIN files to disc.

InfraRecorder: Open source CD/DVD burner

InfraRecorderLooking 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
It doesn't look like there's support for Blu-Ray or HD-DVD, but the product is still under development and new features are being added all the time.

The World's Hardest Game 2.0 - Time Waster

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do. Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game. The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
