CD-Burning software POLL

[PowerHungry]

What CD burning software does everyone use, and what problems do you find?

[The PIT]

I need to vote twice as I use two Roxio and nero if Roxio got screwed up. Like it did the other day after I flashed the firmware of my CDwriter. I needed to burn a cd so I used nero and then fixed Roxio.

[dZeus]

Yup,
- Nero for 5.0 (not 5.5) for Data compilation and Audio CD, and once every so often SVCD.
- CDRWin for burning/extracting iso and bin/cue images.

of course I would add CloneCD to this list if I would also burn copy-protected discs, but I don't.

EzCD5.02c and Nero 5.5.64 (CD Manager for overburning)

Until recently I more or less refused to use anything other than EzCD for normal burnung in Windows. For overburning AudioCDs I used CD-Manager under BeOS5. Some of you may have seen my thread on the LTR-24102B. Since installing it, I haven't successfully used EzCD 5.02c to burn with it (under win2k as that is the only OS which currently has it installed). I use the bundled nero 5.5 updated to 5.5.64. No failed Cds so far. With the 8X Plexwriter I had no problems in EzCD5 (or 4 for that matter)
I still do not like nero's interface but it is functional, and it can overburn.

And yeah CloneCD rulez. Thank God I'd burnt a copy of my little cousins' Fifa2001. They fubar their original copy and I was able to have them play using the burnt copy

I use CDRWin for everything but Bootable CDs, that is reserved for Nero....as it behaves better

WinOnCD 3.8 Power edition!

[Gurm]

Umm... read the poll. Of those programs you listed, only Roxio and Nero are mastering programs. The rest are primarily duplicators.

- Gurm

P.S. For what it's worth, I've switched to Nero because Roxio sucks donkey balls.

[Wombat]

Another Nero owner here. Yes, the interface was different, but it's a pretty good layout. Nothing seems to be "hidden." I usually use it to back-up files. I've never had an easier time converting my MP3s to burn to CDRW as audio, and with Redbook title tracks.

I'll also have to go with a double vote

Mainly Click'N Burn Plus and Nero(demo) for anything else (which is just one disk a couple of days ago)

Sony CD Extreme (rebadged Prassi)

Why?
- tiny (only 1.1MB EXE), stable, fast
- no bloated VCD functions
- <a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=lang_en&q=download+%22sony+cd+extr eme%22+setup">free</a>!

I use Adaptec (Nee Roxio) Easy CD 4 and it does just about everything I want to do.
I tried Nero 5.x once or twice as its supposed to be able to convert MP3s to CDA on the fly. It never did work for me, so I got a copy of Adaptec 4 from a mate and used Spin Doctor to do MP3 conversion.

Occasionally I will have CDs hang in mid burn or just fail, but that could be my old system (98se on a K6III/475) or the CDRW itself (Phillips 3660 Scsi - 2xWrite 1xRewrite)

[VJ]

Same as Guru....

WinOnCD 3.8 Power edition


Stable (very important, as I still use a 4x), good support for my Plextor, not too much useless functions, ...

Nero for mastering
CDRWin for writing bin/cue/iso files
CloneCD for being naughty

[Sasq]

CDRWin and Nero
Mostly CDRwin as it behaves better with the spare pc/burning machine

[Jake]

CDRWin for CUE/BIN and ISO.

Nero for VCD,SVCD,file backup's and audio.

CloneCD for being naughty

LOL! Damn shame about the only thing it can't clone is 19 year old long legged blondes. . Now that would be NAUGHTY!

Cheers,

Jake
