What InfraRecorder is

InfraRecorder is a free CD/DVD burning program for Microsoft Windows. It creates data, audio, and mixed-mode projects and can write them to physical discs or disc images, including ISO and BIN/CUE formats. It can make disc copies directly or through a temporary image, blank rewritable discs using four methods, and record dual-layer DVDs. For multisession discs, it can import existing session data and add further sessions. Audio and data tracks can be saved as WAV, WMA, OGG, MP3, or ISO files. A Windows Explorer extension adds context-menu options for recording images or saved projects and opening or editing saved projects. The interface is described as customizable and Explorer-like, with drag-and-drop project handling and a separate Express application. InfraRecorder is listed as Beta, and the latest-version file listed is ir053.exe. UDF support is in alpha, so the program cannot create filesystems that use only UDF. The project is licensed under GPL version 3, though its graphics are excluded from that license.

Who it suits

InfraRecorder suits Windows desktop users who need a free tool for burning or copying CDs and DVDs. It may also fit users working with disc images or multisession discs.

Verdict

InfraRecorder covers common disc creation, copying, image, and track-export tasks at no cost. Its Windows-only scope and alpha-stage UDF support are important limitations to consider.
