Unfortunately with this version, it supports only CD and DVD discs and cannot burn DVD movies. It is basically a stripped down version of the popular Nero Burning ROM. Nero has long been a leader in CD burning application software and users with older hardware can welcome this ad-supported version. There are really a lot of free CD burning applications available now (just check our freeware category for CD/DVD burners), yet some people still prefer the older outdated Nero 9 Free, the last freeware version of the Nero suite.

Older drivers tend to be slower than newer. The speed of writing discs with Nero 9 Free depends on the capabilities of the optical drive. Nero 9 Free is a multimedia suite that is capable of creating and writing on DVD and CD optical discs, assuming the the PC is equipped with a CD or DVD burner.
