Well, which proggie is the best for burning CD's? i need it do fast and without failure. any freeware or commercial apps that do that the way they're told to?


i need the ability to copy normal cds, burn normal and the occasional audio cd. any program filling the role? i need something simple, not bloody full blown apps...

PowerISO or Alcohol 120 are probably my favourites. Though Alcohol doesn't support File writing, only image burning

Roxio Media Creator. Expensive, but very very good at doing anything to any media you want!

In linux K3b, GnomeBaker and Graveman. Even KDE and Gnome filemanagers seems to have some burning capabilities these days. In Windows Nero is simply the best, I wouldn't touch any Roxio product with a ten-feet pole.

Sweet I've needed a burning proggy too. The unregistered limit on PowerISO is kind of a downer though. May have to find a full ver copy, to buy or borrow.

To each his own.

Yeah.  If you want AOL style system intrusion from Roxio, it's your perogitive to do so.

PowerISO is the most steaming pile of crap i ever touched with my pole. same for roxio. neither do what they're told to and well, nero is... a wee bit unstable.....

[Fury]

nero is... a wee bit unstable.....

Never had any real problems with Nero 5 or 6, just make sure you have the latest update from nero.com. As for Nero 7, no idea how stable that is since I have never used it. If you have updated your Nero, how about giving some details about the problem?

CDBurnerXP Pro - simple, easy, and free. I've used it since I've gotten tired of the bloatware that Roxio/Nero have become. The one thing I don't think it does is CD-to-CD copying.

[Flipside]

PowerISO works absolutely fine for me. I seem to recall that throwing too many CD-Burning programs onto your computer can faff up the CD-Burning, I know Nero used to be very snotty about sharing with other programs, but I'mnot sure if that's still the case.

[vyper]

Does anyone know of an open source app (or just plain free) with the capabilities of NeroVision? I could throw together a rig and install VideoLinux but I doubt I'd have time before my latest project begins.

[Dark Hunter]

Yeah.  If you want AOL style system intrusion from Roxio, it's your perogitive to do so.

System intrusion? Never had anything like that... it just functions as any other program would.

I like NTI CD Maker 6 Gold.  I don't think it was that expensive...And it can do quite a bit.  It does audio, data, and movies on CD or DVD.  Plus, you can do CD to CD copying.  And image burning.
