Free software that can burn/write data on CD or DVD discs.

Nero 9 Free is a multimedia suite that is capable of creating and writing on DVD and CD optical discs, assuming the the PC is equipped with a CD or DVD burner. It does not support Blu-Ray discs.

The speed of writing discs with Nero 9 Free depends on the capabilities of the optical drive. Older drivers tend to be slower than newer.

There are really a lot of free CD burning applications available now (just check our freeware category for CD/DVD burners), yet some people still prefer the older outdated Nero 9 Free, the last freeware version of the Nero suite.

Nero has long been a leader in CD burning application software and users with older hardware can welcome this ad-supported version. It is basically a stripped down version of the popular Nero Burning ROM. Unfortunately with this version, it supports only CD and DVD discs and cannot burn DVD movies. Though it is able to create DVD clones.

Compared to DeepBurner or ImgBurn, Nero 9 Free has virtually no special features. Additionally, Nero 9 Free does NOT support Blu-ray disc burning and therefore unsuitable for many modern setups.
