Are you looking for a program that allows you to burn all kinds of optical discs quickly and simply without needing too much knowledge in the field? Then you should know that Express Burn is one of the best available options. Thanks to this, you will be able to get rid of the difficulties that usually appear in these cases, avoiding the paid programs, of course.

As we were saying, Express Burn is a service that has been specially developed for the recording of contents on optical discs, such as CDs, DVDs, or Blu-ray, to mention some of the most famous cases. If you have tried your luck with Nero and concluded that it costs you too much to take advantage of it, here you have a much more basic but equally powerful option.

How it works

In Express Burn, you will not find those complex functions that make you waste a lot of time burning your discs, but you can devote yourself to the recording directly, without customizations or anything like that. You must choose the media to burn your data, music files, or videos, drag them to the application window, and start the procedure.

If you want to record the songs of your favorite band on a CD, or record the videos of your last vacation or a movie on a DVD, here, you have a perfect program to get those results in the shortest possible time, without delays. Express Burn is also fully compatible with the ISO format, allowing you to generate content in this format and burn it to any disc.

With moderate consumption of system resources, you will also be able to burn data discs or generate your Blu-ray discs for all kinds of use without having to pay any cost in case you want to use them at home.

Then, although Express Burn does not have options for Advanced Configuration Advanced , which we will mention later, the truth is that any way you can make some changes so that the results are adapted to your searches. In this regard, we can talk about how the aspect ratio of the videos, the image quality, or the video formats can be manually set by ourselves.

You may have noticed that most of these editing options are only available when working with videos, and there are not so many for audio or data. Still, at least we are grateful that the ones mentioned here appear. If you want to improve your overall experience, you'll find that Express Burn gives you access to its developers' other tools. It advertises them constantly, and that can be slightly annoying.

The user interface of Express Burn is another undoubtedly positive thing about this program, considering that although it is not the prettiest in its segment, it is smooth regarding navigation. The use of all kinds of icons makes it very easy to know what function we are activating, and perhaps the only thing we can criticize is that it is not translated into other languages.

Keep in mind

As we mentioned before, Express Burn is a free platform, although this is only in case you want to use it at home and not professionally, in which case you will have to pay to get the license to use it on several computers. If you intend to use it professionally, you may find alternatives that will leave you much more satisfied, offering more tools than this.

The best

Express Burn has a lot of aspects that we could consider favorable, although if we had to mention some of them specifically, we would have to talk about its simple style and operation. Also, the support for recording all optical discs and compatibility with ISO images. And finally, the system resource consumption is much lower than other similar software.

The worst

Although Express Burn does not have many essential weaknesses, we could mention two we believe some users would do well to consider. Firstly, the lack of advanced options, although its developers decide to dispense with them. And secondly, the fact that if we want to use it on multiple computers, we have to pay a license, something somewhat unnecessary.

Rating

Express Burn is an excellent program for those who want to burn optical discs and have found that their experience with Nero and similar applications is too complicated. Here is a perfect option if you are looking for a free, simple alternative that allows you to get the same results in less time.
