### Disc Authoring

#### Audio Discs - CD

Express Burn can be set to burn audio discs for use in older CD players, and supports wav, mp3, wma, au, aiff, ra, ogg, flac, aac and many others. Audio is transcribed with direct digital recording (so audio quality is maintained). The user can choose to normalize the volume of tracks beforehand, and CDs can be burned in seamless mode (with no pause between tracks).[10]

#### Video Discs - DVD/Blu-Ray

The video burning re-encodes video files to be playable on a DVD player (Plus version only), and users are given the choice of widescreen or standard ratios as well as PAL or NTSC formats for video authoring. Express Burn supports avi, mpg, vob, asf, wmv, mp4, ogm and all video formats that have a DirectShow based codec. Users can also create chapters for their movie/video.[11]

#### Data Discs - CD/DVD/Blu-Ray

Data discs made with Express Burn support multilevel folders and long file names, and are fully ISO compliant with Joliet extension. Resulting DVDs and Blu-ray discs are ISO compliant (DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+RW, BD-R, BD-RE, BD-R DL, BD-RE DL).[12]

## Controversy

Previously, Express Burn and other NCH products came bundled with optional browser plugins like the Ask and Chrome toolbars, which sparked complaints from users and triggered malware warnings from antivirus software companies like Norton and McAfee. NCH has since unbundled all toolbars in all program versions released after July 2015.[13]
