I have tried Burn Aware before. But somehow this program is not suitable for me. Now I use the Free & Portable CD Burner XP (which can be used in Windows 10 and can burn to DVDs). Personal liking for the user interface of any program is a factor.

If this has some benefits over ImgBurn I'd try it. But I don't see where it is better. Maybe the publisher could explain.

I've used BurnAware since it's last giveaway. It works at least as well, and many areas better, than it's competitors.

This is a great program! Easy to use! Some of us still use CD's and DVD's, and this program has all you will need in one spot...no more digging around Microsoft to perform these tasks.

Hmmm.. go to download and up pops a link telling me to share the link on FB. No direct link on the popup. I did what was asked but cannot get past the popup.
Other option is to have download emailed to me---but apparently that doesn't happen either.

Considering I cannot get the giveaway today--taking down the share too.

Bonjour,
Depuis que vous avez changé votre façon d'accéder au téléchargement, je n'y arrive plus ! Pouvez-vous m'aider ? Merci.

It's getting tiring to continue to encounter applications that insist on being installed on the C: drive. My C: drive is a SSD that I reserve for my OS and frequently used apps. I, for one, am appreciative of the BurnAware update as offered by GAOTD but I wish more developers would permit me to choose which drive to install an application. End of rant.

Upgraded previous Giveaway v.11.0 on a Win10 Pro 64-bit laptop with no issues other than a malware alert on the wrapper as mentioned in the Readme. Program loaded fine but can't comment on performance. Maybe next time will try this instead of ImgBurn.

Tried multiple time to install this and have gotten the message that the wrapper was unable to connect...try again later!
Are you guys down or is there something else going on??

I had the previous version to burn DVDs. But it doesn't 'author' DVDs for movies, just copies and burn. Will authoring be included in a future version?

I was excited to get this because I had cut and copied some zip files to an external hard drive that has now failed. I thought I could recover the files from the original drive. After being told I needed to run the program as an administrator, I still got the same error message (452). I uninstalled and reinstalled as administrator, ran the program as administrator but still got the same message. The excitement has faded.

I had used an earlier version of this. Easy install. Highly recommended.

I downloaded it and installed it without any problems. Win 10 x64.

Dear GOTD Providers,

Kindly I ask your attention that's needed by firms and some what from GOTD.

COMPARING THE GOTD SOFTWARE'S

It's hard to compare every time that software.
First the GOTD's need to get into the software and than compare with the previous versions?

Well, if those GOTD Offering Firms are really interested into that, they SHOULD provide a web page, where it all has being compared by the firms.
Now we need to get to know the previous version too?

So, when a firm likes to promote here and like us to compare, they make sure they already did that at there firms and put it on a web page. All of it, or don't ask about it.
Other wise, WAY TO MUCH WORK AND UNNECESSARY INSTALLATIONS & UNINSTALL'S.

And when typed All of It, I mean All of the Functions & Setting Options.
It's actually simple to have, it only takes a programmer and some time to create, so firms Will have it done Automatically and only needs to be checked by a firm employee or student.

That's Comparison & Promotion Anyway! :)

Think about it!

PS: Have a happy work week & weekend! :)

whenever cd/dvd buring thing comes in giveaway, i wonder which place in world people still use cd/dvd.

Dear Lady/Gentleman,

Kindly I ask your attention.

Thanks about the GOTD Offer! :)


Windows 10 Pro x64

It might be a good idea, to let the GOTD downloaders know, if it's already set to No Automatic Update.
This program seems to have NO Option about Updating, No Where.

Assuming, this GOTD Offer Will Not Update By Itself.
Not, let know, thanks! :)

There are Only Settings about the tasks.
When a task is chosen at the Welkom Screen, the program will open the Task Windows.
Only at a Task Windows, a Task Setting Icon will apear at the Menubar.

Why not All Settings Options at the Welkom Screen en still having it at the Task Windows as it is?

An Automatic Program Update & Upgrade To could be provided and set there too.
And than an option to have the Welkom Screen dissapear when a Task Windows is opened, or not. An Option to close the Welkom Screen and when the Task is done and will be closed, the Welkom Screen could dissapear than too.
Now it stays present, the Welkom Screen has to be closed separated.
That option immediately at the Welkom Screen could make a difference, Doing One Task & close WS or when not selected it keeps the Welkom Screen as set or the User Has to Use the Menubar to get to the Welkom Screen (a preset at the Welkom Screen (at Welkom Screen Settings?) would be great).

The program CAN TRY to get all data from scratched/bad disks! :)

Can't test the program, NO BR Mediums, nor that there will be bought BR Mediums to try this software. Don't need BR Mediums, so.. Don't know anything about that.

PS: Have a happy work week & weekend! :)

so does this mean the "latest free version from their home page" is free without restrictions?:

" So you can have this earlier premium version and/or you can get the latest free version from their home page"

Receiving this message: "The setup files are corrupted. Please obtain a new copy of the program."

The change log history.
https://www.burnaware.com/version-history.html

The actual Software comes in V13.1
We het provided with the old V12.9 and the original price for this old version is same as the current v13.1, I have to install SW that comes in a older version and suddenly wants to update and voila, the SW gets invalid for the never version. Ev., If there's someone responsible my question: Can I install the current V 13.1 and it will still activate? Thanks for the feedback. Greets Wolf (I know of course it's after the initial Setup not updateable)

Version History
https://www.burnaware.com/version-history.html

The BurnAware website shows the current version as v13.1. How does this version 12.9 differ from the current version?

What is new in this version compared to the previous version? Thanks.
