ImgBurn.

The one without OpenCandy is here.

Wikipedia has details.

There is also this.

It's likely to be irrelevant if you existed
this long without it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_Mastering_API

"IMAPI version 2.0 supports the following additional features:

User-mode API instead of a kernel-mode API[8]
Support for multiple optical drives as well as simultaneously recording to multiple drives[7]
Support for creating ISO images[8]
Support for VBScript scripting[8]
Support for locking the recorder while burning[7]

Unlike IMAPI version 1.0, IMAPI version 2.0 is implemented
as a DLL rather than as a Windows service.[9]
"

I don't really know how that helps, except to note
a few people may have missed the update. The microsoft
burning engine, even on later OSes, is "missing"
the odd thing (cannot "erase" media on its own in
one situation), so it's hardly packed with
sparkle ponies at the best of times.

Imgburn is enough for a lot of purposes. Imgburn
also has a menu item for erasing a disc when you need it.
