I've had it with my junky burning software. (It's called Sonic) It screws up about 1 out of 3 DVDs I try to make. I'm thinking about just biting the bullet and buying Nero. Is there anything better out there, though?

I just started using Ashampoo for some stuff. I got a free version, which is limited in some ways, and I'm not sure fully how yet. Look into that perhaps?

I've burnt thousands of cd-r's with my cd burner (not a DVD burner but still..). I go through a whole pack of 50 cd-r's about every two weeks. It still works fine but it makes REALLY LOUD grinding noises sometimes.. hmm.

This computer is a little over 2 years old. September 2006. I do get the occasional overspin that makes it misread, but the burning software has been lousy since day 1. It's just a sample version and severally limits the usefulness.

Sonic My DVDLE

I just downloaded the 15-day Nero 9 trial, about to burn my first data DVD with it. Fingers crossed.

I just need something that I can burn files (music, video, etc) with to free up harddisk space/swap with friends. I don't need bootable or anything like that.

ok so you just need to burn data discs.

nero is the best $70 i ever spent and it does that and more-- backups, etc-- you name it, it does it, it does it well.

the dvd authoring tool (where you create menus, etc) is shit but it does work. hwoever, doesn't look to me like you need dvd authoring. so that's apparently what the sonic mydvd does, and the upgrades too.

not sure if you wanna spend the $$ on nero, but i don't bother with warez nowadays.

then again windows vista (not sure if it's all editions) burns data discs natively.

I use it occasionally to burn .avi to set-top readable DVDs, but that's maybe once every two months.

I'm running XP Media Center right now and don't expect that I'll ever use Vista.

Cool. I never knew about that because I rarely use the media center functions.

Fuck it all. Nero didn't do shit, it said the DVD burned fine but the dye is only changed over about 1/3 of the disc and they're not being recognized by my drive.

I'm going to reboot and try Sonic again later. Hopefully it'll work. This drive does act weird and not read DVDs sometimes and I really hope it's not the drive because I have no idea if it's warrantied or not.

new drives are cheap and easy to replace. i mean, open the case, unscrew the drive, unplug the power, the data cable, put the new one in. a dvd drive is how much, $35? warranties? oy!!

you could go & buy one at a store, test it, and if it works, keep it, if it doesn't just return it.

good luck. oh, it's time to quit the office. seeya.
