EL's CloneDVD2 probably the best DVD writer/copier that i have used, its simple to use, and doesnt need to be set up by going through loads of settings. Its way better than the new slysloft version too, nuch more stable, quicker and easier to use.
Whats more it creates exact copies of DVD movies to ![]()
Tried nero, although its quick and easy, burning DVD's can be a nightmare at times!
I have never had any issues at all with it - does a "perfect" duplicate copy that lets me keep the original pristine and safe from my kids. I wish DVDs were in protective cartridges for handling ![]()
My Grandson tried to clean a brand new DVD by scrubbing it on the floor. Needless to say, He cleaned the Phantom up really well. He is too quick to keep up with and protection on the DVD would help.
Simple to use. I've tried Nero, Recordnow and a few others. EB beats them all hands down.
I like WM10 because its as easy as drag and drop. It easily rips or adds files to the library , drag to burn list and you get close to perfect productions. Of course, this is used with songs only.
Nothing but nothing with its options is as clean, easy. I and a number of people I know have difficultly loading a coherent copy of Nero...though I really loved Nero for burning CDs. I've since been using Roxio...slow and ineligant, but at least it loads and works.
For movies......oneclickpro..easy fast and great for newbies.
For everything else....Roxio..I used 5.0 years ago and hated it...went with Nero. Roxio 7.5 came with my current computer and I was impressed. Roxio has simplified itself and has become very flexable. Great software for any type of media functions.
I have a Mac G5 twin proceessor in which I have used Roxio Toast over the supplied Apple CD-DVD burnerr because I believe the Roxio to be much more user friendly and reliable. I have recently upgraded to v.7 and am very pleased with it. All I have to to is open Toast, the working "box" opens, slide my material into the "box" choose what format (CD, DVD - music, data, phoos, etc.), click "go" and set back and let it do its thing. When it is through (usually a very short time depending upon medium) it asks me if I want to verify, click "yes" and wait a few moments until the operation is finished, and if I choose to mount the disk I do that function and I am finished.
I have found that my supplied Apple CD, DVD burner will not do as good job on cheaper disks but Roxio Toast has never let me down. I do use the supplied player for play back as this part is very reliable. I have used the Roxio Toast product for several years and highly recommend it for storage data such as photos, music, etc. For long term storage I get the best quality disks which I can find, not the cheapies, because I want my grand kids to be able to see some their grand parents' photos, especially some of our travel photos with the different animals, snow (which we rarely have in the Gulf coast of Texas) and the interesting places to which we have been .
I am currently using Roxio with my Sony DVD burners.So far,so good.
After having all the other CD/DVD burning software, I find that NTI offers a more stable product. Its great for burning iso files.
I've been IMPRESSED with NTI and all the robust features they continue to broaden EACH new version. They have a constantly updated drive database file that can be manually or automatically searched for. They've got the LONGEST running STABLE burner that supports Romeo filesystems with the longer filenames, their ability to facilitate a variety of audio and video formats, their stability in effortlessly fostering comprehensive backups, etc...
EVERY other product has had one or more flaws that I've NEVER experienced with NTI in ALL the years I've been using it.
If you've ever had problems trying to burn a dvd or the dvd you burned wont play then definitely try imgburn...50+ dvds burned, 0 coasters.
I have an 1900+ CD collection that I have burned into MP3s on my hard drive. I just purchased a new Lexus GS300 with Mark Levinson audio system that does not support MP3 CDs, but does support Video DVDs (go figure?). Roxio supports burning Music DVDs that are compatible with the Lexus audio. Each Music DVD holds approximately 30 CDs. Only problem is that it crashes when burning DVD+R media on my Dell XPS-400 system with the Philips 8701 DVD drive. Burning Music DVDs on my HP ZT3000 notebook works ok.
iTunes, iDVD, Mac OS X Finder, Disk Utility...
No Mac options posted in this poll. Hmmm. Too bad.
and for my very, very basic applications it is by far the easier of the 2 to use.
