Tried this on all my computers the last time an update to this was posted. Worked totally different on just about every machine. On the ones it worked totally correctly, it was great, and actually made me remove that bloatware Nero!

Unfortunately, that only happened on a couple machines. Wound up uninstalling all copies of this and re-installing Nero 6.6.06. No where near as bloated as the more up to date versions.

I tried this but this has far too many limitations especially when there are programs such as Imgburn that does all this for free.

This program is free, dipstick.

@ Ghostdraconi ... i agree with you basically as most people tend to agree that IMGBurn is pretty much the best burning software out there overall for burning basic data discs and image files etc.... and it's FREE... it's much better than crap like Nero nowadays as that got to bloated after version 6.

p.s. as for AUDIO related burning... i recommend Burrrn (www.burrrn.net) this program does pretty much all audio related burning and it's FREE AND it loads up super fast!

Miss type, dah....

(Sillysam said @ #3.2)

Dah... it's not a mistype. The correct term for a re-writeable Blu-Ray disc is BD-RE.

Not sure why though.

I like this software. I just wished I had discovered it way sooner instead of going with Nero for my occasional dvd/cd burning.

We still use Nero because it's dependable, reliable and a known quantity.
