Pretty sure everyone has at least accumulated a couple of installation CD/DVDs in their life. And since hard drives are getting bigger and bigger, the need to transfer these installation CD/DVDs to a much smaller medium seems to be the best way possible if you want to keep them safe. I’m going to teach you how to burn them to an ISO file for free using InfraRecorder – a free CD/DVD burning solution for Microsoft Windows.
When you first start InfraRecorder it takes you to a window with six icons. Click on Read Disc. Then click on the Image File and name the file. I named mine Logitech Harmony Remote 7.3.iso since that’s what my DVD is. This way I can remember it pretty easily.
Hit OK to start burning the CD/DVD to an ISO file.
And you’re done!
What is ISO? And how do I duplicate/copy a homemade CD or DVD? How can I leave a CD and/or a DVD open so I can add more files when I want to? And then when the DVD/CD is full, how do I close/finalize it so other DVD players and/or computers can read the files/movie/music? Is there a tutorial on your program?

This is a tutorial on ripping not burning. I actually do need to know how to specifically burn an already existing .iso image file to a blank DVD. Your docs don’t specify what method to use, whether to close the disc or leave it open, etc. Help appreciated.
Exactly what I was looking for. Till this day I have always had issues with burning media.
What does Recorder(unsupported media) mean? Jim
I agree that these are instructions for ripping, not burning. Plus, when I hit , and the Image file button, it pops a Save As dialog box. Why would a Read need to SaveAs?
Thanks anyway. Good software, anyway!

Hi all. I experienced negative issues with Vista and sevral CD-DVD burning softwares and Vista. I have a HP 64 bit duo-core processor with Windows Home Premium, 64 bit. Trying to copy a CD/DVD in Vista and Windows 7 is a no win situation. It can’t be done. Microsoft has made it impossible . They are in bed with the Movie and Recording Industry,making it impossible because of DRM. XP maybe,but Windows Vista and Windows 7 no way. If intrested read Forbes Security Matters. An article by Bruce Schneier titled “Why Vista’s DRM is bad for You” Dated 02/17/07 Thanks, Nat Barrett
I’m using infrarecorder v0.50 x64 and the option “verify dhe disk after recording” is not working. The message that it started appears when the recording is finished, but nothing happens.
Hello. I have successfully copied and shrunk a dvd and have a iso file ready to copy and burn. How do I manipulate it in infrarecorders program to so? Need directions. I am sooo close.
i was looking for that, this is great…
thank you verry much!
there are burning software available. this demonstrates the ripping.
