How does this compare to Nero?

Nero is the only non-freeware app on my CD currently, and I wouldn't mind replacing it. (Not to mention even my Nero-lite slimmed down installer makes for a 40 meg cab)

[ZcWorld]

its an ok appz

its takes a while to get to know where thing are in it

i cant really tell you that much about it i had it installed once or twice thats about it when i testing it but i cant remember anything about it

i will get it installed tongithw hen i get home to do some testing but its look like and easy to use

[Delprat]

That's a good app if you know :

- ver 3.0.116 (latest stable) is 20 monthes old

- needs .NET 1.0 or 1.1 : slower than nero 5, comparable to nero 6 (but there's no flickering in the UI like in nLite)

- relies on IMAPI (edit: seems like i'm wrong here - see Camarade_Tux posts)

Once familiarized with, it's easier than nero : there isn't lots of "compilation types" to start with : you start with a Data CD which is by default multi-session unless you finalize it, if you have a non-finalized disc in drive, it will continue it automatically, etc...

I found this design very intuitive

I found this design very intuitive

I don't really agree with this, for instance

-to make an audio cd after a data cd, you have to completely close the program then relaunch it.

-if an ISO is too big for your cd, it won't tell you, just hope you burn a rw.

But yes, it's free.

-> imagine what happens if you checked the "start with last compilation type" option

i presume the author has other interests than correcting these bugs.

It is always nice to have options, but I'll keep looking. I'd like to find something that doesn't depend on IMAPI.

[Camarade_Tux]

As far as I'm concerned, I use CDBurnerXP and have the IMAPI service from XP removed. :?

[Delprat]

Did you activated NMS Access ?

[Camarade_Tux]

The service that lets you burn without normal credentials ?

No.

i prefer this burning iso files than any other, ive tried quite a few burners and this is the only one that never causes corruptions

when reinstalling ive learned some hard lessons losing disk data due to corruption so no matter what i now always recommend a full verification after any burn and never hurts to open contents of disk and click on one or two files to make sure its ok

also...i hate....HATE cd rw's

sometimes data mysteriously vanishes from them plus thier only good for about 2 or 3 overwrites

[Delprat]

Camarade_Tux > ok (previous post edited). next time i'll have something to burn, i'll try again. but i'm sure i had to activate imapi to use cdbxp (maybe something else i didn't see that time)

dcyphure > if you only burn ISO, you may try the commandline tools cdburn.exe & dvdburn.exe from windows ressource kit tools (rktools.exe). and then use something like cdcheck (or just commandline tools FC or COMP, or something like a md5summer). The best (if you're feeling paranoïd) is to check the disc with another drive, or (if you have only one drive) to eject/close the tray before checking.

And CD-RW are good for more than 2-3 writes (far more...) don't buy "noname" !

I use CDRW's all the time. I have for about 9 years pretty regularly. I have some of the same discs that I've been using on and off for 9 years.

A CDRW disc is supposed to be good for about 100 burns. I've probably hit that mark with some of my discs. Occassionaly I've run into older drives that don't like CDRW discs, but I've never once really had a problem with them.

I'd wager you bought bad discs, or have a bad drive.

[ZcWorld]

100 i was told about 1000s on the lastest ones burns on RW cd / dvds
