| Optical disc authoring software, most commonly known as CD/DVD burning
| application is computer software for authoring optical discs such as CD-ROMs
| and DVDs. An optical disc recorder is necessary to use such software.

| Creating an optical disc typically involves first making an optical disc
| image with a full file system designed for the optical disc, and then
| actually burning the image to the disc. Many programs create the disk image
| and burn in one bundled application, such that end-users do not even know the
| distinction.
