imgburn
pros : ease of use - just load the cdi and burn that at lowest speed possible
cons : not really one i think

discjuggler
pros : it's the original one
cons : you need to find correct settings or you will burn lots of bad games

don't know if it's relevant anyway but 8x discjuggler writing speed is slower than imgburn's 4x speed

personally i use dj, dunno why but i've started with it and i am sticking with it, it has that kind of nostalgic feeling...if you want to try it, correct settings (at least for me) are mode 2 in the advanced tab with 3rd post gap (which is already checked) and raw write checked, all burned at the slowed speed possible.

never missed a burn with those settings.

All by sweet Padus DiscJuggler. When I had to install Win10 instead of digging through my pics there is tutorial thread somewhere here by the great TEAMCAST with correct settings

RAW Write checkbox is critical, maybe even the only way to coaster if not checked that in

Both my casts love fast writes. I set 24x always but even looks+sounds like maxing speed
