CD/DVD Burning Software

Hi,

I was using Nero Burning ROM, but now it seems that they want to have a bloatle software and I'm thinking of change it...

I'm trying the DeepBurner Free version and it's very nice, of course that have much less features than Nero, but for CD/DVD data burning seems very good...
For burning copies and images I will stay with the great Alcohol 120%...
For audio I use the also great jetAudio...

Do you have some suggestion to replace Nero better than DeepBurner?

Regards

 

For regular burning try BAO which is free and uses CDRDAO, it can be found at www.burnatonce.com and for audio, nothing comes close to EAC at www.exactaudiocopy.de

I gave up on Nero from version 5x when it ceased to be a burning software and turned to a Jack of all trades suite, not with Nero 7x at 100MB, I for one would never go near it.

 

I totally agree with you on this one, plus i've had an issue with Nero writting a corrupt disct (did'nt even report an error with errors reporting on. I downloaded a trial of clonecd and it reported a crc error. Was very annoyed with Nero. Now use Clonecd in the office, and use UltraISO to create imagesl.

EAC is awesome for getting top qaulity audio rips.

Never tried BAO, cheers for the heads up on that.

 

BAO seems a nice program, but DeepBurner have a much better GUI and all the features for data burning and more...
About EAC, I already use it some time ago, but since I use jet Audio to listen music, and this program is very good on rip and record audio, I decided to use only one program, instead of having diferent programs that does the same...

But they are a good alternative, thanks

 

I will not use Nero anymore...

 

Personally I switched to Ashampoo Burning Studio on my windows machine. It works very nice and easy. It could have a little less n00b interface, but it's ok...

Another product I like is, Padus DiscJuggler. It contains more expert options, but is also way more expensive.

 

Seems a nice alternative for shareware programs

 

I agree with Arup, this is a great combination

For DVD's I use DVDShrink & ImgBurn

All Free and all good

 

I already have ImgBurn installed to test it when need to burn some image

 

HA! CD/DVD Burner is also OK (plus the trial lasts 6 months)

Also try NTI CD/DVD Maker

Hi,
You ca also try CD Burner XP Pro, a freebie.
Although the name is CD, the program burns DVDs and DVD images without any problem. A very orderly and fresh program. Nice GUI.

I'm waiting for the next version o CD Burner XP Pro to test it...

 

I use Roxio Media Creator 7.5 and works very well for all of my needs!!

I did try Version 8 but it is a Real Resource Hog now, so I got a refund and I will stick with Version 7.5!

Cheers,

 

Please notice that the Ashampoo burner didn't give me a coaster since I've started to use it (for about 5 months now, it totally replaced Nero two months after install). And you can make a bid on what you want to pay for the software. And believe me, they go quite low, so go for it

 

The program seems really great, but now I have to spend the money that I have on another things...

Thanks

 

Well i DL the Ashampoo burner yesterday to try for someone and sent off for a Free key which i got in two minutes.

I havn't installed it yet though, so is it actually free or not ?
