At a workshop a few weeks ago, a participant walked up and asked me:

Is there any free software to record a video on a CD/DVD?

The answer is YES, of course. But what software?

Here’s the short list:

Completely Free Software:

(Updated to reflect Danny Maas’ suggestion of DVD Flick)

1. DVD Flick – http://dvdflick.net/
2. AVSMedia – http://www.avsmedia.com/AVS-DVD-Copy.aspx
3. ImgBurn – http://www.imgburn.com/

For cost software:

• StarBurn ($25) – http://www.rocketdivision.com/download_starburn.html
  Startburn Video – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2C5nqEfBtc
• Express Burn Plus Video Edition ($48) – http://www.nch.com.au/burn/index.html

When I chatted with him, I thought the following programs would work since they were free but I discovered they don’t handle DVD burning well, but they work well with CDs:

• InfraRecorder – http://infrarecorder.org/
• CDBurnerXP – http://www.cdburnerxp.se/
