I am looking to burn files to a CD or DVD and finalize it after the first write. I don't want to be able to add any other files in the future, regardless of the free space. I can't seem to find a program that does this, and "master" and "finalize" don't bring up the solution I want. The only thing I can think of is writing junk or filler data. (e.g. I write 100 MB of files. I fill the remainder with filler data so that the disc is full and cannot be written to again.)

3Just use the built-in tool. When ask which option you want to use, use the option, that closes the session permanently on the disk.– RamhoundCommented Oct 28, 2015 at 16:25

I was writing the comment in a rush. I didn't care to put much effort into it. Troubleshooting is a two-way street. I was feeling discouraged because of the lack of clarity in your responses. I am going to delete my other comments to clear the rubbish. How you use the built-in tool is well documented. If you choose to go into more detail update your question and I can provide some better responses.– RamhoundCommented Oct 28, 2015 at 17:18

I can delete mine as well. True, I did not originally provide what optical media I was using, nor the utility. However, I figured I provided enough relevant information. Anything additional, someone could ask and I'd provide.– Tyler MontneyCommented Oct 28, 2015 at 17:29

MS seems to have patched out the 'finalize disc' option. This question has become more relevant.– Jeter-workCommented Feb 2, 2017 at 22:02

This software solved my issue: http://infrarecorder.org/
Choose Data Disc, and add files. Select Actions > Burn Compilation > to a Compact Disc. Accept all default values and hit OK. This uses the CDFS instead of UDF, which prevents any additional changes to the disc (specifically, using remaining space).
