Free Easy CD DVD Burner
Rating: 5
Version tested: 1.0.305
Description: Free Easy Burner is a CD/DVD burning and authoring program that supports burning data and audio CD’s and DVD’s, copying CD’s and DVD’s (by ripping and burning ISO’s), and Ripping audio CD’s into MP3’s.
If you want a small CD/DVD burning program that performs all standard functions without many frills, then Free Easy Burner will cater for all of your burning needs (pun intended heheh).
Important Note [8/13/2007]: since first reviewing this program on 2/3/2007 it has become adware, despite still being billed as freeware on the author’s site. This means that as of version 1.2.43 the program, while fully functional, nonetheless displays ads (albeit harmless ones) within its interface. However you can still download version 1.2.21 of this program, which is fully functional and ad-free, from the link at the bottom of this page.
The following is a list of what this program can do:
- Supports dual-layer DVD, CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RW, and DVD+RW.
- Burns Data CD’s and DVD’s: allows dragging and dropping of files and folders, will verify and/or finalize your CD/DVD.
- Will copy CD’s and (unencrypted) DVD’s by ripping an ISO image on hard drive and burning it back.
- Will write to ISO (i.e. can create ISOs from any collection of files and/or folder). Will also burn ISO files.
- Burns Audio CD’s; will convert your audio files into a playable audio CD. Supported audio file formats are: WAV, WMA, MP3, OGG, FLAC, AAC, and M4A.
- Rips audio CD’s to MP3 or WAV file formats. Supports automatic FreeCDDB tag information retrieval.
This is great, straightforward freeware that does the job very well and looks good to boot. Nice simply functional user interface; I recommend higly.
Compatibility: Windows 2000, XP, 2003, Vista.
Download FREEWARE version 1.2.21 here. Go here to download the latest version on the author’s site; two things to know (1) the version on the author’s site is adware, and (2) you do not need to enter your info to download if you don’t want to. Also visit the author’s page.

Free Easy Cd/Dvd Burner above link to author’s page to download program does not work
Thanks Matt… link is now fixed.
How do enable burn verify ?
NERO İS BETTER
Nero is NOT Better!! In fact, I am downloading this right now because Stupid nero won’t burn FLAC!!! I’ve only had problems with nero, and while i may be one person, i think there are many more people out there that feel the same way!
it z vry nice
Another pretty good alternative to Nero and this one could be Infrarecorder. No need to install it & has a nice quickstart interface. I really wanna know how you like it compared to “free easy cd dvd burner” ^^
url: http://infrarecorder.sourceforge.net/
I like it. It is easy to use.
I am trying to figure out how to download this software. Can someone help me?
I can’t find a download link either. How do you download?
I just updated the download info.
Check out the last row of text in the review (under ‘Compatibility’).
Seriously this is way better than NERO. Actually I only found this one because I literally hated NERO and was looking for a new cd-burner. so thx a lot
This is a very f**king suck program. Don’t download it! My Dual Layer DVD R crashed!
I downloaded the software and tried to backup a DVD. As far as dealing with the copy protections and region codes, it worked well. However, I can only play the recorded DVDs on my computer. They will not play on either of three different DVD players. This kind of defeats the whole purpose of using the program. This little detail was conveniently left out of the description. I just glad the download was free or I would really be upset.
DL531,
I do not think this software is capable of handling DVD encryptions, and nowhere in the description does it say that it does. My suggestions to you is to use RipIt4Me and/or DVD Shrink to copy your DVDs to your hard drive, then use CDBurnerXP to burn them back to DVDs.
Oh, and btw… this site is a free service that reviews and presents software.. whether or not you decide to try the software is 100% your responsibility. I do not personally benefit from your downloading the programs.
It’s WAY better than nero, and it’s under 10mb
It’s very good then any software.
I am sure that Microsoft is deliberately removing files so that DVD burners don’t work that were preinstalled on operating systems so that you have to buy one. IT’s part of the New World Order to get you to pay & pay!
Installation fails on Vista - can’t register components.
BEWARE VER 2.0 Load unwanted software and tool bars
Let’s give these guys the benefit of the doubt and assume that the instaler/uninstaller was tested out on earlier operating systems. But on my Vista box, the installer locked up my whole machine, seemingly when trying to make registry entries. I had to go into Task Manager and cancel three different processes just to make the machine usable again.
After that, the software seemed basically operational, so I tried to do what I intended to use it for in the firat place. This was to generate an ISO-9660 image to DVD but that does not seem to be supported (looks like it will copy an ISO image, but so does xcopy). Already rather suspicious about whether this thing actually installed correctly, or whether it is just inherently evil, I proceeded to uniinstall it.
Even the uninstaller locked up! I had to manually delete all the junk in Program Files. I didn’t see anything in the registry that looked like it needed to be cleaned out, but who knows what that faulty install put in there?
Also, somewhere during this rejuvinating experience something called “Dealio” was installed on my machine, despite the fact that I had never requested it. So, I had to wipe that off too.
Junk like this is why people have to spend their money on registry cleaners, disk cleaners, “tune-up” utilities and all that.
I think this is much better than any cd/dvd burner
I need to prove to my self that this is the burner that i’m looking for
I WANT TO DOWNLOAD THIS SOFTWARE SO HELP ME FOR THIS
how is it that when I burn files (after having ripped my own dvds for backup purposes); it doesn’t really “write” on the dvd. The status window shows it burns, closes and ejects when the copying process is completed. but when I verify the contents of said burned cd, it comes up as “blank”. wtf?
There might be amistake when copying[wrong copying]so you must scan the program or register new user.
thanks is good !
