Thanks Copernic!

[ahfunaki]

nice, may have to give this a shot

[Johnston]

love this software,the best burning software by far. I just hate ashampoo's dodgy looking site, and the way most of their other products are crap.changelog for this anyone?

[zeroday]

I got my hands on the free version they posted a while back, been using that as my main burning software. :D

[Agnes Leroy]

Nice.IMO better than bloated Nero 7

[Jon 5]

Cool. I am glad they are keeping this great program updated. Thanks.

[WarStorm]

I have this. Agree it is a great program. But as the above say. The website certainly puts you off

[sanctified Veteran]

This cant be better than Nero until it supports as many CD Images formats as Nero

[Randolph]

Yeah Nero 6/7 is still far from this. (Y)

[Copernic Reporter]

Yeah Nero 6/7 is still far from this. (Y)

Please explain why ? Personally i don't like Nero because:

- Size: Nero is huge ''size matter''

- Bloat:

* Nero Scout; after installing Nero users are forced to remove it from the registry, that's not nice for a ''complete burning suite'' like Nero.

* Nero Mobile, Nero Sipps, Nero Search, Nero WaveEditor, Nero SoundTrax, Nero SoundBox, Nero ShowTime, Nero PhotoSnap !!!??? All i need is a SIMPLY USABLE BURNING SOFTWARE not a ''media center'' like suite.

Yes, Nero it's better for all the stuff mentioned above but like i said i don't need a MEDIA CENTER to burn a 700 mb movie, or a music cd etc...I mean for a average user like me and daily usage Ashampoo it's perfect but if you need a WaveEditor or some other ''power'' stuff than Nero is the king, simply for me doesn't exist who's better between those two programs, each one is good for different categories of users and usage. :)

I agree. Nero is going the Norton way.

I am sorry, but Nero is god awful at this point. Nero Scout? Nero Scout deserves to burn in the lower depths of hell simply based on what a pain in the ass it is to remove. Very stupid on Nero's part.

Nero installs so much extra crap on my system just so that it can burn a cd/dvd. See the list above that @Copernic wrote. It's really at the point where Nero is on par with Norton, or better yet... HP scanning software. (I just installed a scanner and it needed 1600mb of crappy software...I wish I was kidding).

I don't have the exact size in front of me, but I guarantee you that Nero installs at least 200mb worth of crap. Ashampoo uses 25.33mb, that's it.

I am perfectly aware that Nero does this, does that, slices bread, feeds puppies and kittens, etc ...but I want a program that burns my dvds, burns my cds, and that's it. Since I switched from Nero, I've never run into a situation where Ashampoo couldn't do something I needed.

I guess you're ok with bloat, personally I am not.

[Randolph]

Well when I said Nero, I mean't Nero Lite. Sorry. :s

[macstorm]

I finally got rid of Nero. Thanks (Y)

[sanctified Veteran]

I guess you're ok with bloat, personally I am not.

And you said that to the guy who wrote the neowin?s guide to have the smallest windows installation possible...

Its extremely easy to remove the extras from Nero. If you dont know how then its not my problem.

[xpgeek]

Absolutely love this program. Will never go back to Nero.

[ozgeek]

My favourite disc buring program :D

Go away Nero..I hate your bloated ass.

[Stingray]

LESS IS MORE

MESS IS BORE

Down with Nero and Norton!

:shiftyninja:

[1Frothy]

It's small, it works flawlessly under Vista - none of these statements is true of Nero.

Great software.
