FinalBurner 2.19.0.183

As time moves on, you will amount more and more data on your hard disk. Even the high capacity hard disks available today could become overwhelmed at some point. So what do you do to clear up some space? The applications you no longer use can be uninstalled. The data you no longer need can be deleted. But what about the bits and pieces you do not want to delete, the data you would like to keep?

You can burn everything you would like to keep onto CDs or DVDs. To perform this task you could use the Protectedsoft-developed application FinalBurner. The software developer has two FinalBurner versions to offer. The first one is FinalBurner Free which, as the name so adequately points out, does not cost a thing.

You can download FinalBurner Free onto your computer, install it, and use it free of charge for as long as you want. Speaking of which, the download weighs in at some 10MB; the application can be installed on all versions of the Microsoft-developed Windows operating system. This includes Windows XP, Windows Vista and the latest iteration, Windows 7.

The functionality provided by FinalBurner Free is limited – compared to FinalBurner Pro that is. You can use FinalBurner Free to perform these tasks:
- Burn data onto CDs or DVDs
- Burn audio CDs
- Rip audio CDs
- Create autorun menus

If you want to get additional functionality, like for example the option to burn videoCDs andSuperVideoCDs, burn HD video, burn ISO images, burn MP3 CDs/DVDs, copy CDs/DVDs, print CD jewel case and DVD box labels, then you need to get FinalBurner Pro. This version can be used free of charge only during the 30-day trial period. After that, you will have to pay for a license to keep using it.

FinalBurner Free provides support for numerous languages. To be more precise, it provides support for the following languages: Arabic, Czech, English, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian and Russian.
