My fellow AT gurus,

My hard drive is full of movies waiting to be burned to DVD. I previously happily burned DVDs under XP using the previous versions of NERO - no problems, loved it. With a new computer running Vist64, the options available look no so good...
If you look at the NERO 9 reviews on Newegg the software seems full of nightmares - bloated programing, messed up reg files, or not running at all. The competition does not seem much better.

So, are you having good success burning DVDs under windows Vista 64? Anyone else getting these reported headaches?
Anyone want to throw down on what is the DVD burning software leader now under Vista64?

Look into IMGBURN (free) or if you want UltraISO (not free but very good)

Yup, +1 for ImgBurn.

Afaik, DeepBurner also works well under Vista 64.

I like imgburn, but can it make a disc out of files, or do you have to give it an image?

Personally, I have never had a problem with Nero...

I despise using Nero. Such a pain to do certain things.

I love Ashampoo Burning Studio...

You can drag and drop files. IMGburn might not look as pretty as the other burning tools, but it's much less bloated and way more reliable, imo.

I have the Nero 7 Suite and it works really well. I guess 9 was a disappointment from what my friend told me. You can burn ISO's as well as files to CD's and DVD's.

Img Burn works really good for me when I got to burn images though. Nothing is more simple than that.

I think ISOrecorder or the built-in capability in Win7 is simpler. Right-click, burn image.

Ashampoo Burning Studio is great. I guess Nero has value if you actually need the other dozen applications it comes bundled with. I just used the Burning ROM app.
