disc burner
Optical media recorder
A disc burner is a device or software that writes data onto optical discs like CDs, DVDs, or Blu-rays.
The term emerged when recordable discs became common in personal computing during the 1990s and 2000s.
A laser "burns" microscopic patterns into the disc's surface to encode information: I need a disc burner to back up these files.
Also spelled disk burner.
