Hey, Copernic ...

Do you happen to have a list of burners that work with Ashampoo Burning Studio 5? I have a Plextor 716A DVD?R/RW installed and am running the Nero 7 Demo but am not looking forward to the license fee or the 10,000 lbs of code I will never in this life time use.

I have now gone out of the Nero field. Byebye Nero, welcome to my computer, CDburnerXP 3 Pro. :D I also have

burnatonce installed as well. :)

Well, Jason He, he means that Nero is too bloaty for a CD burning program. It's now more of a Multimedia creation software rather than just a CD and DVD burning program. Most of us just need a simple CD and DVD burning program, not a multimedia creation software like Nero have became. The list the OP have put up is best free or cheaper alternatives to Nero and Roxio.

Oops ... I replaced that Plextor 716A with a Sony DRU-710A burner and is the one I was wondering whether or not it would make nice with Ashampoo. Sorry for the confusion.:blush::

[Angelico_Payne]

Tested SCDWriter, only 450k , it's does everything I need , no installation required, a mind blower :woot:

I'm puting this on my must-have utility list

One advantage to Nero is it integrates with DVD Shrink so I can copy DVD's.

How does it integrate with Nero ?

Also, how can I use this integration ?

I seem to remember, when I installed DVD Shrink, I needed to have Nero installed for it to work.

[FalledAngel]

DVD Shrink only needs Nero for burning. U can use it to do a backup of the CD/DVD into your hdd, without problems.

Thanks, Copernic. :)

I gave CDburnerXP 3 Pro a shot, had 400mb of files to burn on a 700mb CD & it came back with the message that there wasn't enough space on the media. I successfully burnt the data onto the CD with Nero afterwards.

Anyone know what could have caused this? Thanks.

Oh, and regarding Alcohol 120%, how do you burn individual files onto a CD/DVD? The only options I can see to burn are for images..

Guess i'm stuck with Nero for a while yet.. :(

[Forevame7189]

Nice finds. I'm currently been using RecordNow Max (probably not updated) as it works better for me with my old Pioneer burner. Still have Nero installed just incase I want to do something else easier.

[Dark Reaper]

BTW, about the SCDWriter program I uploaded, can anyone verify if it can also burn .img and .bin/.cue also? I can only find an option to burn .iso.

[Guest craft660]

you maybe wanna add cheetah cd / dvd burner on the list, very simple and small

[jimbo12141]

i agree with CD Burner XP pro, gret piece of free software, fast and low on resorces!

[v1sor]

Not the best program out there, I'm sure, but free all the same:

What is the best burning software to burn aload of avi files onto a DVD disk and play them back on a DVD Player?

Nero 7 is rubbish because it transcodes the file, burns it and when i come to play it back the video is faster than the sound, so there is a 3 second delay.

Any ideas?

[CaKeY]

k3b works for me.

[SLeeM@N]

you may also want to include imgburn, it only does 1 thing but does it well.

this one is usefull just tiny and fast!

[BrutalFluid]

i would use CBXP but it doesnt do a dvd-video thing. so like if i wanted a super video cd or something it couldnt do it. also it couldnt burn .vob files and that kind of stuff for making a dvd-video thing...or is there any way to do that with CBXP?

I use ConvertXtoDVD to convert to DVD filestructure and format, and Prassi ONES for the burning. Yes, it still transcodes it, but it does a really good job and it's fast.

Nero has become utter crap. Rather sad, really.

I never thought I would stop using Nero 6.6, I shrinked it (using the NCAB tool at MSFN unattended application install forums) so the installer only had Nero Burning Rom (+Nero Express, nice clear User Interface), Nero Tools and Nero Coverdesigner.

Now with Nero 7 it REALLY needs shrinking, but there isn't a good fast bugfree method yet.

I did got it working, just ~19 MB (only Nero burningrom+Nero Express, Nero Tools, Coverdesigner) but now there is a new version of Nero 7 and the shrinkmethod doesn't work anymore.

I tried couple of programs, Ashampoo really has the BEST and clearest interface, I don't understand why it is so hard for companies to think of an easy GUI. An easy and clear GUI can be a lot faster then for example the Nero 5 looks.

So I am considering to switch to Ashampoo... not quite sure.
