Astroburn is a CD, DVD, HD DVD, and Blu-ray disc burner available for Windows. Astroburn has an easy-to-use interface for working with discs, such as creating or burning image files, formatting returned discs, adjusting the burn speed, viewing a complete burn map, and much more. We will tell you more about the features and functions of this program.

What is this program?

Astroburn for Windows is a minimalistic program for burning any disc. The program has a user-friendly interface that is perfect for beginners because it is easy to master. If you treat your discs with care, they can keep your information for decades. To burn a disc, you can insert a blank disc into a CD, DVD, or Blu-ray drive with support for burning, select the files and folders you want to burn to a disc, and then start the burning process and wait for it to finish.

What is this program used for?

This utility allows you to add information to a multisession disc if the multisession is not closed on a previously burned disc. Moreover, it is possible to burn disc images. This is a handy feature because a lot of information on the Internet is distributed as virtual images.

Astroburn can also clean up reusable discs to free up disc space for burning new information. You can choose a burn speed before burning. After the burning is finished, you can check the integrity of the data on the disc and find out if the disc is burned successfully or unsuccessfully.

The application automatically selects the appropriate file system, depending on the data added for burning. Even a beginner can master the user-friendly interface of the program. The simple functionality without unnecessary features allows you to burn quickly and easily.

Free and paid versions

The free version of Astroburn Lite, unlike the paid Pro version, has a limited toolset. However, the essential functions are present so that you can perform basic disc-burning operations without any inconvenience.

The professional version has extended features for copying, burning, and removing all kinds of optical discs, such as CD/DVD-R/RW, DVD-RAM, DVD+R/RW, etc. Astroburn Pro can work with various devices designed to work with optical disks. The primary difference between Lite and Pro is that Lite is a free application that successfully complements Daemon Tools and expands its functionality. At the same time, the Pro version is a separate application that can process disc images.

The interface of the Lite version is straightforward and user-friendly. There are not too many settings, but they are visible and easy to find. It's also easy to change the color scheme of the shell and start the burning process in just a few clicks. Moreover, Astroburn Lite can restore an ISO-formatted disk image to a disk.

Burning images

You can burn any image stored on your computer to a disc. You can do this by inserting the disc into a drive, running the program, opening the "Image" tab, and specifying the path to the image on your computer in a unique line. You can also select some additional settings if necessary.

Deleting data

Unfortunately, some discs cannot be returned, while others can only be wholly cleaned and have new files put in. If your disc is labeled CD-RW or DVD-RW, you can reburn it. You can delete the information on a disc by opening it in the program and clicking on the eraser icon in the toolbar on the right.

Creating disk backups

The function is responsible for burning disk images to your computer and is only available in the paid PRO version. However, you can use it for free for a while. This function allows you to create a backup copy of the data on a disk and reburn it to another medium.

Working with the data image

In the PRO version of this program, you can create an image file from files located on your computer and then burn it to a disc.

Setting protections

You can set specific protection on a disk while burning/reburning. After the procedure, you need to enter the password to the disk in the program. Viewing and editing the information on a medium without entering the password is impossible. However, this function is available only in the PRO version.

Creating audio images

The PRO version allows you to create audio images from audio files on your disc or computer.

Creating an Audio CD

This function is very similar to the previous one. It is used to burn audio compositions from your computer to a disc. The process is available only in the Pro version of Astroburn.

Creating copies

Astroburn for Windows also allows you to copy an existing disk but only if your computer has two drives. A copy can be created by inserting another disc into the second disc drive. This feature is available only for the owners of the paid version of the program.

Conclusions
