Nero Burning Rom Alternatives


Recommended Posts

Hi - can anyone tell me if there exists a freeware app for burning DVD files to DVD? I busted my balance buying ConvertXtoDVD (a brilliant app) but the DVD burning/Menu creating side of it isn't so great.

I suppose you can suggest a shareware one too but I'd rather not wait till next month ;)

And I don't want a studio; just one program to let me make menus and burn dvds (basically, i've just made a film using 3dstudiomax and converted it to DVD format and I want it burnt with menus and all that jazz).

yeah ive been looking through a few alternative as i couldnt unistall nero7 due 2 missing msi file which i cant find and it wont let me reinstall without removing last install!!so since then ive tried, 1.Alcohol 120 which gives u 6 virtual drives and is good 4 image files such such as,cue,bin etc!!but its not a dvd creator so u cant join titles or edit menus but still it has alot going 4 it worth checking out!!I ve also tried, 2.Roxio easy media creator 8 which does most of the things nero does exept i found trouble editing vcds as it has no features 2 support vcds and u canot import dat files from vcds mpeg2 files so there is no transfering vcd 2 dvd!ive also tried various other freeware and dvd editing software which all do good individual jobs but no complete package so im now using,Cyberlinks dvd solutions package which contians all cyber link products such as pwer dvd 7, power 2 go,power director and pwer producer,etc. it is a complete media suite,Also HAS A SWEET ANIMATED DVD MENU CREATOR and i havent had asmany bug issuse like i did with nero7. so give it a bash if all else fails :) PS. CHAOSBLADE if u download "daemaon tools"virtual drives for free of the net u cant mount ur images on this and use ur current dvd editing software in conjunction(just import the relivant files from daemons drives) :cool:

100 MB too much ?

I don't have anything against Alternative writing programs, but 100MB too much is just lame :pinch: .

Who has a problem storing a 100MB prog. nowadays? :| 100MB is nothing ;) I wouldn't mind if it would be 300MB :laugh:

100MB was too much like 6-8 years back :p

No offence dudes n' gals peace.gif

But, yeah, I would give my vote for Ashampoo too :)

In harddisk space 100MB isn't much nowadays, but one should keep in mind that it's just a burning program, and 100MB is waaaaay too big for a burning program. Well, that's my opinion. 10 - 20 MB should be more than enough.

    • I just started using Teams (and “New” Oiutlook) at work (instead of Slack) and both are truly abysmal pieces of software.
    • If you are willing to go to approx $200, then as mentioned in your other thread I think a refurbished Pixel 8 will be a great deal that will last you for years. I recently recommended that to someone at work, he was on a strict £200 budget, which got him an excellent conditioned refurbished Pixel 8 here. He's since told me its the best phone he's ever had and feels its a massive upgrade over his old Samsung A series device. I don't know the sites which deal in refurbished devices in the US, however I’m sure you will have some options like we do here. Failing that Ebay is also quite good in my experience. If you wanted something a bit cheaper, then you could maybe go for an older Pixel 7, these will still get security updates until the end of 2027. Even after that you have good third party OS support from LineageOS. It doesn't have to be a Pixel though, you can buy many older devices for a good deal that would be better than a new $100 phone and flash LineageOS to them: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/
    • I don't use one drive, but then I don't use any cloud storage, not even Icloud on my mac. If I did use cloud storage, then I would not use One drive, not because there is anything wrong with it, but because I can use Icloud. The only reason I see to use one drive is if your job requires you to have access to it
    • Not built in, which is not a bad thing. There are ways of adding cloud storage to it, Dropbox is the most well know that also have a client for Linux, but there are others.
