Try Nero. It's a sweet burning program, and really versatile too. You can download it from a few places, just run a google search. It's a great program for DVDs, CDs, ROMs, etc. My program of choice.

I've also heard that Alcohol 120% (that's the name of the program :lol: ) will get the job done just fine, but I haven't personally used it, and can't recommend it from experience. Good luck!

I use Nero Express or K3B only. Both every easy to use, have several extentions/plugins and easy to get. Nero 6 is what $30 or less now, and if you use a Linux distro K3B is FREE!

:lol: I have the latest version of Nero 6. I downloaded the 30-day trial with all the features from their website, and 2 months later, I've still got it! But hey, I'm not complaining!

Alcohol 120% is really good for mounting ISOs if you don't want to burn a CD. Sounds good for burning as well.

Is it? I've used Nero for all my ISO applications, and it also does the job fine. I may download Alcohol 120% just to compare the two, I think it would be an interesting study! :)

Nero takes over your computer, it'd be nice if they just gave you Nero Burning ROM, and that's it. So I'd recommend Alcohol 120% before Nero.

Well, I highly recomend Alcohol 120%. It burns every kind of file, including nero files.

Alcohol 120%. Whenever I try Nero it fails burning, but Alcohol has no problems.

Hope that helps. :)
