There are a lot of programs out there to burn ISO files, some free and some quite expensive. However, now that Windows vista is out, I have found myself running into many computability problems with my favorite burning programs. More specifically Nero 7 and DeepBurner have been giving me the most problems so far. But fear not, because there is a solution which is free, easy, and best of all is a windows Vista power toy, so it plays very nicely with Vista.
1. Download the ISORecorder Power toy.
Windows Vista 32
Windows Vista 64
Windows XP SP2 and 2003
2. Unzip and Install.
You may notice that there are 2 files Setup.exe and ISORecorderV3.msi. It shouldn't matter which one you choose, but I would start with the msi, and if that does not work then try the exe.
Continue through the installation as normal.
3. Burn the ISO to a disc.
Now you will have to locate the ISO file that you would like to burn.
Right click on it, then go to Open With->ISORecorder. You can also click Choose Default Program and then select ISORecorder so that it will open the ISO in the program on a double click.
Next, you will want to choose all of the settings to burn your ISO file i.e. speed, source, destination, etc.
When you are done, click next and let the burning begin. After that is finished your cd tray will open, and you will be notified that burning has completed.
This is an awesome simple tool for burning ISO files. Please go have a visit to the creator's site, Alex Feinman. Also, if you like the software give Alex a donation via PayPal at the bottom of his page.

Worked great - just installed Vista and was having problems getting Easy Media Creator to install... this solution is much better - thanks!
Worked great with 32-bit Windows Vista Enterprise and Dell Latitude D620 notebook.
Great find. I really needed this utility, since CDBurnerXP doesn't work on Vista.
Looks like it works just fine. Easy to install, super simple to use. Great stuff! :)
this didnt work at all. the installer opened for a second then disappeared.
works great; looks like it part of the os
You're the man. Much thanks.
I had a problem with the dll not properly registering. I found this list of FAQs, one of which that described how to register it manually.
I found the most success however opening a cmd window as administrator (right click, 'Run as Administrator') and running the msi setup from that window.
windows vista home premium / gateway laptop MT6840
Gr8 s/w works like its a part of the o/s, thanks ...
I installed it but I can't find it. Is it supposed to be in the start menu or something?
There is not .exe. It registers as part of Windows Explorer so you need to right click the .iso image and select Open with.. and from there this tool.
Works fine! Thanks!
Doesn't work. It ejects the disc while saying: "Closing disc. Estimated time: 16 sec". It stays like that, and it's not possible to close the window.
Didn't work for me in Vista Ultimate.
Received the error, "Operation has failed. Code: c0aa0403, Reason: The provided stream to write is not supported." when trying to burn the Visual Studio 2008 pro 90 day trial from an ISO.
I sent the developer the bug so hopefully he'll get it figured out.
simple and easy, did the job very nicely
i liked it, actually i loved it.
thanks to the developer!
tried a couple of other options and they didn't work. This worked perfectly. Thanks
Crappy vista. I hate it (vista). Why cant vista do this already? - Thanks for the software it works well to burn a copy of Ubuntu. Alastair
This didn't work for me on vista home premium. Received the error, "Operation has failed. Code: c0aa0403, Reason: The provided stream to write is not supported." when trying to burn Mandriva from an ISO.
Works flawlessly in Vista 64-Bit. Kudos to the developer for a great lightweight program.
In terms of Alastair's comment, no version of Windows has ever had built-in ISO burning...
I just downloaded the app.
Amazingly fast download 'n' install...
[no more than 3 min. all together]
I'm now going to burn Freespire 2.0...Let's see what happens.
This is being done in my Desktop.
eMachines T5082
Running Win Vista Home Basic
Wow! I've never seen such a fast 'n' impeccable burn before.

I totally recomend this app.
THX for the suggestion.
Installed on Vista Ultimate, works great.
Burned Windows Server 2008 without a hitch
Thanks for the link. Using it to burn a copy of Ubuntu and get rid of this stupid vista
worked perfectly with my vista 32 on a hp pavilion. THANKS A LOT!!!
worked a treat, thanks very much!
You have saved my sanity. Awsome tool. Great find.
Excellent! Thumbs up to the maker,Works perfect! Burned Spongebob Atlantis SquarePantis to a DVD and it works perfect
Thank you!!! worked great!!
I get an error saying that the burning speed is too important...I have a DVD-RW 4.7GB 1-4x, I can't change speed (x36)..any advice please ?
Thanks in advance,
Alexander
ok, I tired with another DVD, and it's working great ! Thanks a lot for this great program !! :D :D
Thanks. this works really. Thank u so much for the link
Installed this on Vista x64 and burnt a DVD ISO, but it never showed me the "burning complete" screen. It's been half an hour and it's still saying "Writing data" with the progress bar at 100%. I can't eject either. Gotta restart. BRB.
Installed on Vista Enterprise running on a generic white box, Athlon XP2800+ with 2GB of RAM, Samsung 52x CD burner.
So far so good, install was flawless, and I burned a CD of DBAN 2.0 with no problems. (Darik's Boot and Nuke, which I highly recommend for military grade disk wipes)
Works great, Vista Ultimate 64 on acer laptop. Threw a opensuse11 dvd out in minutes with no hassle.
Cheers man.
Vista Premium 64bit, got the following error: "The provided stream to write is not supported".
Using a mounted iso (e.g. MagicISO) as the source for ISO Recorder V3 instead of the .iso file solved the problem here.
Thanks so much! Acer Aspire 5315 is currently buring Ubuntu
very good tools, working prefectly, my machine = lenovo 3000 v200, thank you so much !
Works good... The version that I installed it has "Copy image to CD" in the root of the context menu now.
Vista Ultimate x64 SP1
Not working in vista home premium. I hate Vista!!! So many programs do not work.
This didn't work at all you lying sack of shit.
...
wait...
wait...
ok, it's working now - your rock!
works great on vista ultimate !
... all service packs applied.
Calling it a "Power Toy" is a recipe for confusion. That title is reserved for Microsoft's tools.
I'm with Anonymous above here, please rename it, I thought it was an official Microsoft tool for a while.
Thanks for creating though!
...and that's another OpenSuSE 11 DVD out of 64-bit HP Pavilion running 32 bit Vista Business.
Great tool. Thanks!
Hmm while I applaud someone having this application available, I also am sad that Vista 32 and 64 (being so expensive and such large GB OS's) don't have this as std feature. I am running multiboot 64,32, XP pro and Linux. Most of these sort of applications are std with so many Linux OS's. And MS so much $ and still leave people hanging.
Also I must admit when it was mentioned as a Vista Powertoy I thought that it was from MS. Now I see it is not it makes me nervous. How does anyone know that this program is clean and repudable, and not have any deviant possibilities? I mean everyone hoots and hollers how great it is but perhaps I am actually putting a TROJAN on my system, and all these positive responses are people that know its actual intention. I know it sounds paranoid but how can one be sure anymore.
This is a great program. Works for what i need it to do. Thanks for the program!
Excelente programa, muchas gracias por el link, también funciona para archivo .img
Worked Great. Installed on Compaq Presario A900. Also had glitch burning ISo to a DVD, but it never showed me the "burning complete" screen. I waited and it still said "Writing data" with the progress bar at 100%. I pressed button on DVD and it changed to "finalizing" and then ejected DVD when finished.
Vista Ultimate x64 Dell Optiplex 755. Worked great!
Thanks for the tip!
thanxalot!!! work 100%!!
Does just what it says on the 'box'.
Perfect utility for the real world, should be licenced as an integral part of Vista!
Burned MS Visual Studio Pro 2008 90-day Trial ISO image to DVD in less than 10 minutes. I set the speed to lowest (36x). Worked perfectly on Vista Home Premium (DVD-R) media. (HP PC dual-core AMD 2.4Ghz) 100% as advertised. Thank you!
Cool, this little tool does only one thing and it does it right. Thanks!
using v2 for xp, software immediately presents a screen indicating that it's done. But no ISO is ever created?
Have you tried ImgBurn? it is by far the best Iso Image Burner tool with many features! http://www.imgburn.com
BLinding worked a absolute beauty sweet
Perfect solution for Vista x64, the right click shows different but it works perfectly flawless!
it works great, thank you so much!
Vista 64-bit - worked like a charm. Burned a copy of WindowsXP MCE2005 - now getting rid of this Vista crap for good.
Thanks for this app - nice work!
Thanks, this was very helpfull.
x64 Works Great! Just Burned Vista Ultimate x64 (3+ GB) in under 4 minutes.
