CD/DVD Authoring Programs for 98

[oc_dt]

I think that it may be more appropriate to open a new topic on this rather than replying on the sticky one:

Software that Supports Windows 98 Second Edition

Updated: 18 October 2008

CD/DVD Authoring Programs

LAST - $$$$ - Nero Burning ROM 7.2.7 (6 offers greater stability)

ONGD - FREE - Deepburner - - - http://www.deepburner.com

ONGD - FREE - Dvd Decrypter (DVD copy) --- http://www.free-codecs.com/DVD_Decrypter_download.htm

ONGD - FREE - Dvd Shrink (DVD copy) --- http://www.dvdshrink.org

ONGD - $$$$ - Clone Dvd (DVD copy) --- http://www.clonedvd.net

LAST - FREE - BurnAtOnce --- http://www.burnatonce.net

ONGD - FREE - DVDFab HD Decrypter --- http://www.dvdfab.com/free.htm

ONGD - FREE - Burrrn --- http://www.burrrn.net/?page_id=4

$$$$ ones are out of questions. Please voice out your suggestions and experience.

Btw, why BurnAware (with adware/spyware?), Active ISO Burner http://www.ntfs.com/iso-burning.htm and ImgBurn http://www.imgburn.com/ are not on the list?

Updates: BurnAware does not support 98; Active ISO Burner may not qualify due to its sole purpose...

InfraRecorder 0.45 should run on Windows 98. More recent versions require Windows 2000 and higher, but may work if you install KernelEx.

Isn't CD-Burner XP such a program?

I can't comment on how it works with DVDs, but BurnAtOnce works well on 98/98SE. I use it for data and music CDs, burning and saving ISOs and CD copying. There are better tools for working with ISOs but it does the basic tasks. I've burnt a lot of CDs with it and have had very few coasters.

CD-Burner XP does not support 98, it runs only on: Windows 2000/XP/2003 Server/Vista

Older versions do. There's an archive link on the website. AFAIK, version 3.5 (and older) uses VBRun (smaller footprint) and anything above 3.5 requires .NET (no clue as to which version). Bottom line - try the archive, download starting at 3.5, test it, then start incrementally downloading archives and testing until you get to the one that doesn't work.

Oh, so the author has been updating it again? It was stuck at one version for a long time, and that version worked on Windows 98.

An interesting comparison among the various programs:

Looks like I may shortlist DeepBurner and ImgBurn...

Do you know whether licensing is required for using nero lite? That's not a freeware?

Short list sounds good. I heard DeepBurner was ok (buggy last version I tried). ImgBurn is kind of stand-alone. Also works ok (not a lot of wonderful features but small footprint). Nero still needs a key - the Lite thing is just to strip it down to the basics (as seen on MSFN)...
