Ever since I made that list of 15 freeware Nero alternatives, I haven’t written about a single disc burning program. Even though some of the programs I listed doesn’t exist any more, it still provides you a handful of options. Here is another good optical disc burning program.
UsefulUtils Discs Studio might not have the greatest interface, but it works. In fact, I have noticed that most of the free burning programs have the same kind of layout and the same disregard for aesthetics. But a majority of them has a rich feature set to boast of.
Here is what you will find in UsefulUtils Discs Studio.
- SCSI, ATAPI, Parallel port, USB (1.1 and 2.0) and FireWire (IEEE 1394) devices support.

UDF v.1.02 (UNICODE) - Bootable discs burning

UsefulUtils Discs Studio also lets you create a Send To item that enables you to send any file to the program for burning from the right –click menu. Just go to the program settings for dozens of other options. Not one of the best applications, but worth checking out.
