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.

    • Are they on crack at M$? Surely living on an alternative reality? A good dump of mine would run faster down the toilet if I did not flush it. But still looks better than this pile of slop. By the way, did they also comment on what's the next "functionality added"? Maybe you can improve it if you add even more stuff to this vomitware.
    • I don't find them "bitchy" or "whiny". I think the term you should use it, uhm, "passionate."
    • Ahh, I didn't know that. It makes sense. I was thinking I would be fine with 50 hours, but 100 is close enough that I wouldn't feel like I am paying for more than I am using. I might check it out sometime.
    • Google's next-gen Tensor AI chips might be produced by Samsung, report says by Hamid Ganji Image via Google Google’s Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) is produced in collaboration with companies such as Broadcom and TSMC, but a recent report suggests that the search giant is in talks with Samsung to hand over part of the production to the Korean tech company. According to a report by The Information, citing people familiar with the matter, Google has begun talks with Samsung about using its chip manufacturing capacity for the next generation of Tensor AI chips. Google’s upcoming TPUs are reportedly codenamed “Icefish” and will be produced using Samsung's 2-nanometer process technology. Meanwhile, Samsung is expected to produce only a portion of the next-generation Tensor chips, with most of the production remaining at TSMC. The Information says the new Tensor chips are currently in the design stage and are scheduled to enter mass production in 2028. TSMC is generally considered one of the most reliable chip manufacturing partners and is trusted by tech giants such as Apple and Google. However, the growing demand for TSMC’s AI chips, combined with the company’s focus on meeting demand from AI data centers, has reportedly prompted Google to seek additional manufacturing partners for its next-generation TPUs. Besides Samsung and TSMC, Intel could also be assigned part of the production. The Information reported this week is that Google has begun talks with Intel to produce up to three million TPUs in 2028. However, this is not the first time Google has partnered with Samsung on chip production, as Samsung has previously manufactured Tensor chips for Pixel smartphones. Google’s Tensor Processing Unit is used in cloud data centers and competes with NVIDIA’s chips, which currently dominate the market. By relying on in-house chips, Google can not only reduce its dependence on third-party providers but also create new revenue opportunities. The company has already supplied its TPUs to the AI firm Anthropic.
    • Reminder that the Premium and Ultimate plans already come with a 100 hour per month limit, which you then have to pay more to increase in 15 hour blocks.
