gBurner trial review - thumbs down.

gBurner is a shareware app that advertises that it is an unlimited, full featured trial, but with NAGS. In fact, it works for 30 days, and then stops being able to burn files that are > 300MB.

I downloaded it to burn an MDS/MDF (PSX image) file that ImgBurn could not, because it had multiple tracks. It did an OK job, in that it was able to import the session, with all the file names, and given the lack of warning or error messages one might think that it had loaded the file correctly. After burning, however, IsoBuster showed that it had skipped all but the first track, and had significantly under-burned the disk.

On the whole: un-impressed. If you need a free general purpose burning program, InfraRecorder is a better bet, and if you need a good Image burner, ImgBurn is the best bet.

It didn't seem to install any mal-ware at least.
