As the title says ..

Please suggest a light weight CD/ DVD burning software

I was using Nero (came with the burner) but taking a lot of resources.

Then I got portable infrarecorder, works great except for

CD to CD / DVD to DVD (source and destination same).

Any free + light weight + portable(preferred) burning software ? Need support for disc to disc copy.

CDBurner XP should do the trick.

ImgBurn

I posted it in the "cleaning up trash" thread. First uninstall nero if you already have it, and reinstall, but in the installation options, untick everything except startsmart, express, and burning rom. That makes the install take only 146 MB, and burning takes around 45-50 MB in memory. Not exactly lightweight, but compared to the highly bloated 1 gig install and 100 mb memory it takes regularly, its better like this. Since nero is one of the best burners feature-wise, I guess this one's better than others suggested here Try it.

Ya.. I do it this way.
If you use all its features then it takes more than 200MB in my case.

So using only StartSmart is the better.

Try Nero Micro - Nero on Steroids.
Its a Stripped down version it includes
* Nero Burning ROM
* Nero Express
It leaves out everything else.

so its quite fast & responsive

Thanks a lot for the suggestions friends.

I tried almost all softwares listed by you. Really nice ones.

For simple use (like data disks, image burn etc), I still prefer Infrarecorder, only drawback I can see is the one mentioned before, I mean Disk to Disk copy is missing. Other than that, it is nice - simple and small.

Have you Tried Ashampoo? If I remember correctly , this was given several times in Digit DVDs

 

[chesss]

+1 for nero micro/nero portable

 

[raptorz]

ImgBurn is the best. Ultralight and tons of options.

 

[Cool G5]

Yup try Ashampoo. Light & hassle free.

 

[kumarmohit]

Ashampoo is the best option and if you have not got the Digit disc version, they give version 6.5 for free.

 

[adi007]

Ashampoo for windows
k3b for linux
infrarecoder is also nice

 

[casanova]

Ashampoo is a very nice burner. I guess version 7 is available for free as well. Version 8 is the latest.
