Alternatives to Nero - Data & Music CD/DVD - Club CDFreaks

projectaero · 26-02-2007

Hey guys.
Just wondering what people recommend instead of Nero for data and burning to audio for cd and dvd.

I got told VSO software is good anyone used it ie - converttodvd?

Burrrn (www.burrrn.net) for Audio CDs & CDBurnerXP Pro for the others.

Edit: And ImgBurn as Debro points out.

CopyToDVD is not free.
But it is great for all needs.

If you have latest CopyToDVD then that is about all you need.

Hi,

I'm a VSO Software Freak

I bought the VSO Software Golden Membership !

CopyToDVD v4.0.3 (Data, VideoDVD, Audio CD)
ConvertXtoDVD v2.1.14 (Convert all my video files to DVD)
PhotoDVD v2.3.7.5 (Convert all my pictures to DVD with music)
Blindwrite v6.0.1 (Copy Media to Image File, then back to media later)
Image Resizer (Freeware) to do all my image resizing

I get all new versions, all future software as a free upgrade

CD Burner XP Pro for data and audio, ImgBurn for Image files. ImgBurn also does data, but I don't like it's interface for burning data files (only if it's a very simple data burn such as a VIDEO_TS DVD Video folder). Both are freeware, CD Burner XP Pro hasn't been updated for awhile but it's still a good program and there's a newer beta version if you'd like to try it out.

Another option, if money is one of the reasons you're looking into alternatives, would be a Nero Suite/Nero Express version. It comes free with many burners, OEM included, or you can buy a disc online for about $5.

Admitting that you've illegally downloaded movies/songs and need help to process/burn is comparable to robbing a bank, and walking into the bank the next day holding the bags of money to deposit them into your account.
