Best CD/DVD Burning Software.....???

[EndGame]

Been using Nero 6 Ultimate since it came out, but hear/read about a lot of people using other software. What do you use?

 

[Looney]

The 500mb install that is Nero 7.

Used Nero 5.5 forever, but now use Nero 6.....not much difference between the main Nero program, but the extra features are nice.

I remember 6 being noticeably slower and bloaty compared to 5 but once you give in you may as well go 7. At least its add-ons are optional so that a bare install may be a svelte 100MB.

Anyhoo, me likey but for DVD-RAM I eschew InCD in favour of Matsushita's driver.

That's just it............Nero is becoming so bloated..........all I need/want it burning software and I don't care for InCD...........

i used to use nero 6 ultra edition...then someone gave me their copy of nero 7 ultra edition because it was too bloated...THEN i saw on mfsn.org forums that someone has made a lite installation of nero 7, so i used the key i got and it works! nero 7 unbloated edition!

then i use alcohol 120% to burn all my cd/dvd images.

mfsn.org topic... err, I don't get it. What does it do that the normal installer cannot? Indeed, the "Lite" installer would appear to install more bloat than the normal installer allows to exclude.

Nero 7 Lite is a full functional Burning Software Suite including:

* Nero Burning Rom
* Nero Express
* Nero CoverDesigner
* Nero WaveEditor
* Nero Toolkit

also included in Nero 7 Lite:

* MauSau Audio Plugins
* MP3 Skipping Problem fixed
* Complete Nero Help

However this is still a lite pack, so this is left out:

* Nero Home
* nero Scout
* Nero StartSmart
* Nero SoundTrax
* Nero Vision
* Nero Recode
* Nero Showtime
* Nero MediaHome
* Nero PhotoSnap
* Nero BackItUp
* Nero InCD
* Nero SoundBox
* Nero ImageDrive


most of the crap that is left out is 99.9% of the bloat that i didnt need. well startsmart would have been nice to have, but its alright.

i dont get how the lite installer appears to install more bloat than the normal installer...?

Thanks for the link to Nero 7 Lite. The only thing I use in Nero is Nero Burning Rom, which I love. I absolutely hate the way Nero has become bloatware-its a perfect example of a fine product ruined.

Nero 7 is awesome for Windows. Totally 'suite'. k3b for Linux. I haven't tried NeroLINUX yet.

 

[Xyclone]

Nero 7 Premium

But for backing up DVD's, I love AnyDVD +CloneDVD 2.

Nero 6 Ultra still working for me, not upgrading yet.
