While Windows 7 has its own DVD-CD burning program, it can be slow at times. In addition, it offers no capability for creating ISO images. These do.
ImageBurn
ImageBurn enables you to burn most types of DVD/CD images, including .iso, .nrg, .bin, .img and others. The program offers direct support for many of the latest CD/DVD writers. In addition to writing of images, you can also use the software to build your own ISO images from files and folders of your choice. ImgBurn includes a variety of advanced features to deal with dual layer DVDs, create DVD folder structures and more. Very capable, no documentation provided though.
