Can't decide on burning program
Hey well as the title says i just can't decide which program to use. Needs to be lightweight and free but will consider using a paid software also.
ImgBurn
CDBurnerXP
Burnaware free beta 9
InfraRecorder
Is there anything better ?

The good thing is you can try the free programs and decide which one you like. I settled on CDBurnerXP on Win 7 64bit and it does what I need and I like the GUI.

You mean burn an image of a KvCD to a physical disc? It should since it all it's doing is burning an image.

It depends just exactly what you want to be using it for but I couldn't agree more with the above here, I use both of these, I have also used InfraRecoder but generally these days I have settled for using CDBurnerXP

That is a question to be asked at CDBurnerXP web site. I think I saw a remark that it did not do .bin/.cue format but don't quote me on that.

I like Imgburn and CDBurnerXP. But for audio I also like Burrrn Portable. Does cue files(at least for standard audio discs anyway) and also like CDBurnerXP, if you drop flac files on it they're converted on the fly. Nice little program. Even though it hasn't been updated in awhile it works fine on my Vista64. Get the portable to try because the one with the installer has a weirdy on Vista where the log shows duplicate entries for each track. Doesn't do it on XP. For chuckles I tried the portable and it didn't have the bug. It was probably fixed but not noted in the change log, or just lucky for the programmer.
I haven't tried Burrrn on W7 yet but if it works on Vista64 I'd be very surprised if it didn't work on 7.
