BurnAware is a disc-burning application that can burn not just CDs and DVDs but also HD-DVDs and Blu-ray discs.

The software has a very nice clean look; also all the functions mentioned are well explained in the main interface. This is the only free application till date that
can burn both high-definition formats.

The free edition is quite simple; you can't do much more than simply create and burn, i.e. choose your data source and the target location. High-def media is still extremely expensive, which makes it quite pointless to recommend this program,
but a free option is still good to have. In fact this is the sole reason to recommend this free software over something better such as CD Burner XP. BurnAware is crippled to a certain extent by limiting commonplace features such as burning multi-session discs, UDF discs, bootable discs, ISO formatting, CD Text or creating ISO images. This seems to have been deliberately done to make its paid version (Rs.1300 approx) more desirable while still providing HD-DVD/Blu-ray disc support
in its free version as a selling point.

FOR: Clean, HD-DVD/Blu-ray support. AGAINST: Crippled with features.
