Portable cdrtfe

We've all had to burn a CD or DVD at some point in our lives, and even if that's no longer a commonality nowadays, it's nice to have full-fledged software capable of handling such a task efficiently.

Sure, you can burn disks through the built-in Windows utility, but there's plenty left to be desired there. If you want more features, you ought to look elsewhere. Portable cdrtfe is a powerful, feature-packed program to help you manage burning discs more efficiently, without even requiring installation.

The interface of this program is a functional one, and the fact that it's so simple helps you get to what you want easier. Burning a disc is as easy as navigating to the Data Disc tab, inserting your files and folders, checking the Options to see if everything is in order, and clicking Start.

There are different sections for the types of discs that you may want to burn: for instance, if you wanted to play some tunes through your car's audio system, inserting your tracks through the Audio CD tab is the way to go, and the same logic goes for the Video DVD one, capable of burning DVDs for your media player. 

The writing settings can be freely changed, and they can get quite in-depth. For example, you have the ability to burn your files and folders to an .iso image — bootable or otherwise — as well as choose the algorithm: the Overburn option is also present, enabling you to exceed the data cap that a disc may have.

Plenty can be changed in the Audio CD tab as well: for example, the ReplayGain feature gives you the capability to raise or lower the gain of the tracks on your disc with only a few inputs.

Multiple duties can be handled simultaneously, provided you have multiple writers. In the name of convenience, you can also save your work as a .cfp file to access later, with all of the settings intact.

cdrtfe contains a lot of useful features to help you burn discs more efficiently, and the fact that it's a portable app, not requiring you to go through an installation process, makes it all the more enticing.
