In the quest to find free and/or open-source alternatives to CD/DVD burning programs like Nero Burning Rom and Roxio CD Creator, I’ve just stumbled upon a new program to add to my list, along with ImgBurn (my current favorite) and InfraRecorder, called BurnAware Free:

According to Lifehacker.com,

BurnAware Free burns data, audio, and video CDs, DVDs, and Blu-ray discs. Since we last mentioned BurnAware, it was bought up by a software company, turned shareware, and has now made the round trip back to freeware—so if you ran into the shareware version when you tried downloading it, BurnAware Free is worth a grab. There are still shareware versions that support advanced features like simultaneous disc writing, but chances are you’ll be happy with the free version. This one could come in particularly handy if and when you actually get a Blu-ray burner on your PC. BurnAware Free is freeware, Windows only. For other great alternatives, check out previously mentioned ImgBurn or Totally Free Burner.

Looks good to me, and well worth the price.
