Nero 9 Lite and Nero 9 Full Version

Everyone likes free stuff don’t they? Nero 9 Lite is available free for an unlimited amount of time. The free version lets you burn data and copy discs for CDs and DVDs. Unfortunately, if you want the additional features you will have to upgrade to Nero 9 full version (which is not free.)

With Nero 9 full version you can also record TV shows, rip video clips, play, import and manipulate video and audio, including HD.

There are other applications out there that can burn CDs and DVDs, etc. but Nero 9 is one of the most popular ones and it is great for those that are new to burning discs.
