Do I need a special drive to burn Blu-ray?
Yes — burning Blu-ray needs a Blu-ray writer (internal or external USB). It also reads and writes CDs and DVDs, so one drive covers everything. cdBurner shows what your drive supports.

Why cdBurner is different
Every other burner is a program you install. cdBurner isn't: it runs in your browser with one tiny background helper, and it's free.
- 100% free — no trial, no watermark, no nag screens.
- Private — files are written locally and never uploaded to a server.
- No bloatware — one small signed helper, not a heavy install.
- Built on Windows' native IMAPI2 engine, so your discs read everywhere.
