I have tried CDBurnerXP and Deepburner but like CD Burner XP better. It is much more better than Nero infact if you just want to burn CDs and Videos.
As suggested by shankar, Infrarecorder is also another option (I think its also OpenSource).
CDBurnerXP is also an excellent option.
@Keith,
Indeed CDBurnerXP is a great freeware.
@Pallab,
Infrarecorder is already there in the list and its open source.
Great list of free cd/dvd burning software. But I stick with Nero. 😀
I have been using Infrarecorder and I really like it
the Roxio software that came with dell is really crappy compared to these opensource software
I wonder why no one in comments said anything about ImgBurn. I use it all the time and love it.
