Mine definitely needs an update :laugh: thanks for the guide copernic.

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::

Ashampoo recording software supports CD and DVD drives from all leading manufacturers (including SONY and TDK) as listed below:

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.. :(

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?

  • 2 weeks later...

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.

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates by Paul Hill Microsoft has just announced that starting with Edge 152, it will be moving to a two-week release cycle for faster, smaller updates. This faster release cadence will begin on August 27. This change comes just several months after Microsoft switched Visual Studio Code to weekly updates. The company said that the Extended Stable releases will remain on an eight-week cycle and that no admin changes are needed to experience the faster release cycle on the Stable channel. The new two-week release cycle will enable the faster delivery of security updates and platform improvements, all while reducing the size and complexity of individual updates. Microsoft claims that organizations will benefit from this change as it offers predictable validation cycles. For organizations that prefer a “more deliberate pace”, the Extended Stable channel remains an option. This change will affect Edge Stable releases on Windows, macOS, Linux, and mobile. The Extended Stable channel will continue to be updated every eight weeks, or every fourth Stable release, for example: versions 152, 156, 160, and 164. The Extended Stable could be a good option for organizations that don’t want the latest updates twice a month and don’t want as much hassle constantly updating browsers. In the case of Visual Studio Code, many of the updates being pushed by Microsoft are AI-related. As we all know, Microsoft Edge has a lot of AI features, so we could see Microsoft pushing more AI, thanks to the faster cycles. On the flip side, quicker releases could mean faster security updates, which is beneficial in a world where AI systems are hunting for software exploits. What do you think? Let us know in the comments. For more updates on Edge, be sure to follow Neowin's coverage. In May alone, we reported on Edge offering in-browser pop-ups to assist users with website compatibility issues, that Edge was losing Copilot Mode, and that Microsoft had fixed a plain-text password bug in Edge.

    • not yet, because at the moment it is not a threat to MS, if and I mean if it did become a threat to MS Office, then it may be a different thing. MS don't like competition
    • Zen Browser 1.21b by Razvan Serea Zen Browser is a privacy-focused, open-source web browser built on Mozilla Firefox, offering users a secure and customizable browsing experience. It emphasizes privacy by blocking trackers, ads, and ensuring your data isn't collected. With Zen Mods, users can enhance their browser experience with various customization options, including features like split views and vertical tabs. The browser is designed for efficiency, providing fast browsing speeds and a lightweight interface. Zen Browser prioritizes user control over the browsing experience, offering a minimal yet powerful alternative to traditional web browsers while keeping your online activity private. Zen Browser’s DRM limitation Zen Browser currently lacks support for DRM-protected content, meaning streaming services like Netflix and HBO Max are inaccessible. This is due to the absence of a Widevine license, which requires significant costs and is financially unfeasible for the developer. Additionally, applying for this license would require Zen to be part of a larger company, similar to Mozilla or Brave. Therefore, DRM-protected media won't be supported in Zen Browser for the foreseeable future. Zen Browser offers features that improve user experience, privacy, and customization: Privacy-Focused: Blocks trackers and minimizes data collection. Automatic Updates: Keeps the browser updated with security patches. Zen Mods: Customizable themes and layouts. Workspaces: Organize tabs into different workspaces. Compact Mode: Maximizes screen space by minimizing UI elements. Zen Glance: Quick website previews. Split Views: View multiple tabs in the same window. Sidebar: Access bookmarks and tools quickly. Vertical Tabs: Manage tabs vertically. Container Tabs: Separate browsing sessions. Fast Profile Switcher: Switch between profiles easily. Tab Folders: Organize tabs into folders.

Community-Driven: Active development and feedback from users. GitHub Repository: Contribute and review the source code. Zen Browser 1.21b changelog: New Features Updated to Firefox 151.0.4 Added 'Space Routing', a new feature that allows you to route links to a specific Space. To get started, click on the three dots in your Space name and click on 'Space Routing Settings'. Fixes Fixed extension-opened tabs not being created with the correct container (#14100) Fixed a bug with the Boosts editor having the wrong theme colors (#14099) Improved overflowing space icons being inaccessible and improved the feeling when hovering over them (#13747) Other minor bug fixes and improvements Download: Zen Browser | 89.8 MB (Open Source) Download: Zen Browser ARM64 | Other Operating Systems View: Zen Browser Home Page | Screenshots 1 | 2 | Reddit Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
