Uniqueness of CD Burning Software

[SUOrangeman]

I got this thread idea from a question asked by spanky late last night. Instead of the usual xyz software is better than abc, I figured that I would try to do something useful. Why not list the features of a particular program that is not duplicated in another package. Now, I've only played with a small handful of burning apps, but I think I have a few things that are unique.

If you will allow me to take a step back for a second, I believe that Nero is the best all-around burning app for me. There isn't much that it can't do. So, what exactly can't it do ... that another app can?

CDRWin can make those cool slipstream Win2K install CDs.

Prassi can put lowercase letters in the CD Volume descriptor.

Exact Audio Copy can rip audio CDs with great success and then turn around and burn them.


Now, do any of you have a unique feature that you've only seen in one (or two) burning apps? Adaptec/Roxio? CloneCD? Feurio!? FireBurner? Others?

Also, Nero has a very useful internal mpeg compressor for burning VCD's and around August an internal mpeg-2 compressor should be ready for burning SVCD's.

But is that something unique to only Nero? I haven't used Adaptec/Roxio in a while, but I thought it could do some video stuff. I could be very wrong, though.
