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.

    • It is when it's a desktop in my house though for a PC that's lightly used and not really important when it is. If it was a laptop, it would be a different story. The real solution is varied and begins starting at post #22 in that thread.
