Need some burning software, anything better than Nero?

[misle]

I need some burning software. Mainly, music or data CD's and occasionally putting a DVD together from AVI/WMV/MPG/etc files.

I've used Nero for years, but it's been getting pretty bloated and I don't know if I want to spend $70 on Nero 10.

I've previously used http://cdburnerxp.se/ on systems that aren't running their drives in AHCI mode.

I've also heard good things about http://infrarecorder.org/

I like InfraRecorder.

I don't burn a ton anymore, but it is pretty nice.

I recommend ImgBurn for music and data. It's free, light weight, fast and easy to use.

I don't burn movies, so I can't recommend anything on that front.

Try Roxio my friend if your not satisifed with Nero ,, thanks gl

 

[tibandit]

StarBurn i like it, its free and works good

 

[lxskllr]

I use infrarecorder and imgburn. A burner's a burner. Pick one that has an interface you like. I'd never pay for burning software.

 

[tweakboy]

Nothing is better then Nero in your situation. Roxio is no good either.


Try a free burnin software if you like. gl

 

[flexy]

IMGBurn FTW <--- And its free. Why Nero with all that bloat?

 

[Fullmetal Chocobo]

Ashampoo Burning Studio. Used it for several versions now, and I'm always happy with it.

How many times are you going to answer this question (with gibberish)?

OP: I stopped using Roxio and Nero long ago due to the bloated programs. I use CDburnerXP for CD's, DVDFab for DVDs and ConvertXToDVD for converting. Those are what I use to cover the bases.

I found A good alternative to Nero is BurnAware Pro I've been using it for years, its lite and is a quality App. they also have a free version with limitations.

[chusteczka]

Thank you for all of these useful programs!

InfraRecorder

StarBurn

BurnAware

Ashampoo Burning Studio

ImgBurn

CDBurnerXP
Although, I do not like that AHCI problem with CDBurnerXP. Even though I installed the ATI RAID drivers like they recommended, I still could not get the drive to be detected through the AHCI driver bios setting.

CDBurnerXP: No CD/DVD drive was detected on this system

Yea, it does everything, but I typically use Infrarecorder for data. Not sure why, habit I guess.

I'd never pay for burning software either, but I at least want the software to be able to convert any audio files I throw into it and also handle the settings for creating an audio CD

Nero was one of the first/best at this, although I've long since been using CDBurnerXP for such things.

Although once I upgrade my car stereo audio CDs will likely become completely obsolete for me.

 

[Tbirdkid]

cdburnerxp is the best for my uses, and it works well with iso images, etc. really happy with it. i do have to use another program for converting, but i use my mac for that. mactheripper is the bomb...

 

[snewdle]

I was actually wondering what software to use to burn movie DVDs and I have to say that ImgBurn is excellent. Thanks to everyone for their input in this thread.

 

[Leros]

CdBurnerXP does everything I've ever wanted.

 

[Emulex]

which one allows the best DL break control when burning iso/img/etc?
(break = at what sector will the disk flip to the 2nd layer.. etc)
