Imgburn all the way....

Although I am not much of a CD /DVD burner user, I have Magic ISO & magic Disk
They do the job i need.

Magic ISO is used to burn CD /Dvd, read from ISO, BIN etc files directly what I like in that is you can read the contents of ISO without mounting it and after opening an ISO you can add your files to that ISO without spoiling the boot section.

Magic Disk used as image drives.

I had never burned a cd or dvd for past 1 year. Now, I am thinking about getting one even though i may use it rarely.
