Tonight, I’d like to profess my love for Infrarecorder.
This is my preferred method for putting data onto discs and removing it from them. This simple application will rip you a disc to an ISO as well as right the ISO back to a disc, copy an existing disc, write audio, video or straight data.
There are so many bloated programs out there that want to be your video recorder, sound editor, or make you a pot of coffee while you wait. I prefer to stick to simple programs that do one thing or a core set of features well.
This wonderful application clocks in at just above 15MB installed and offers portable versions as well as source code if that’s your thing.
I am a big believer in simple tools and you will love this one.
