alternative for Nero - Club CDFreaks

Hi ,

Please recommend ,

great alternatives for the Nero program... I think it tries to burn my dvd's
too inteligently and it's too keen to find error...

What other things are out there

thank you
R.

If you want a lean mean burning program without all the extras VSOs Copy To DVD is worth checking out

you could try Dvd Shrink and Dvd Decryptor they are both freeware http://doom9.net

I have alot of burning apps and these two are my main programs that I use. If I cant do it with thise I got to Alcohol 120% or Any Dvd and Clone Dvd

what about a program to burn data?
I tried nero with some dvd+r's I've bought and they keep failing
dvd-r is fine though

Some folks have no trouble at all with Nero, others have all kinds of problems. I myself had some rather minor compatibility issues with other burning progs, along with the rare inexplicable burn failure or two. Just enough for me to mistrust Nero. Since RecordNow came bundled with my (rebadged) BenQ 1620, I uninstalled Nero with no regrets. For video, I now use nothing but DVDDecrypter, in conjunction with Image Tool Classic if I need to create an ISO. For data, RecordNow works fine. It should, with the Prassi burning engine. For those looking to purchase a new burning program, I'd look seriously at Prassi ONES. It's cheap, about 20 bucks IIRC, and it uses "fuzzy logic" to recognize drives. So you need not worry about your drive being supported, even it's a spanking new model. JMHO.

Try NTI. It's pretty decent, and is easier to use than Nero for many people.. it also looks nicer, I think. They say it works well on Windows XP 64-bit too.

Here are the programs I've tried in the last three months:

Nero Burning ROM v6.3, 6.6 - excellent, I still use it. Avoid that "StartSmart" crap tho, the wizard absolutely sucks.
Cheetah DVD Burner v1.34 - not very good, lacks many useful options.
NTI CD-DVD Maker Titanium v7 - excellent, but I prefer Nero. Comes with a ton of other cool programs too..
Padus DiscJuggler Pro v4.50 - caused lockups, blue screens, many coasters. Wouldn't use again until the next major version.
Prassi ONES v2.0.297 - lacks useful options, crashy. Wouldn't use again until next major version.

Here're a couple I haven't tried yet, but plan to:
Akram Media Creator v1.3
aShampoo Burning Studio v5.05
DeepBurner Pro
