4. ImgBurn
If you are looking for a utility that is literally the be all and end all of image burning software, ImgBurn is an interesting tool worth using. This software supports a plethora of file formats, ranging from the infamous MDF/MDS format all the way to straight up BIN/CUE images. This tool was designed from the ground up to be focused exclusively on image creation and burning, throwing out anything that isn't intended for that purpose. It will even conduct pre-operation checks to ensure no underlying system processes will stand in the way of a good quality rip and burn.
