  1. [...] is a CD / DVD / HD DVD / Blu-ray burning application that is free and lightweight.ImgBurn is like ISO Recorder V1,V2,V3 available free to burn or write images to CDs and DVDs in windows vista or windows [...]

  2. I have an ASUS A8V-XE Platform, mounting an AMD 64 ATHLON DUAL CORE CPU RUNNING WINDOWS XP SP3.

    Ihave spent the last four hours trying to get an ISO RECORDER, 32BIT, as well as 64 bit clients to install on my machine. Each time I get an error saying that “This machine is not able to run this installation.” Essentiallly that.

    You’re my last hope to get a burn on my CD deck of a Debian GNU Linux iso image.

    A working ISO RECORDER (CD/DVD,32 OR 64 bit) would be greatly appreciated.

  3. A 64-bit build of ISO Recorder for AMD64/Intel EMT64 systems is available here. Please note, that this is only for 64-bit version of Windows XP and Server 2003. If you are running a regular, 32-bit version of Windows even on a 64-bit CPU, you would still need a regular 32-bit build of ISO Recorder.

    If not you can try ImgBurn or DVD flick or BurnAware – See related posts.
