CD/DVD Burning SW

[src2206]

Hi Friends,
I have been using Nero for quite some time now but it is giving me a lot of trouble. Most cases the Data verificatioin fails and the CD is not authored properly.
Can you suggest some other Authoring softwares [preferably free] which is better and more reliable than Mero and also light on system resources?
Thank you

dude this is happening because the lens of ur optical drive has gone dirty. get it cleaned.

 

[src2206]

Are you sure? Still is there no other sw which is light on resources but reliable?

get deep burner
it s way small and equal to nero
besides u can turn data verification off in nero

 

[src2206]

Yes I can but still it is atleast showing me that the burn process is not completed properly. Could you provide a link to deep burner?
Thank you

 

[JGuru]

Try DeepBurner (www.deepburner.com). It's a freeware. And it is pretty good too.
Ofcourse it's reliable.

 

[src2206]

Thanks but it seems that Free does not provide CD to Cd copy feature!

Does DB support data verifiacation as NERO?
What is Alcohol 120%?
Thank you

 

[Vyasram]

alcohol120 is a virtual cd emu/cd image writing tool.
db doesn't support dv

try cd burner xp pro, it has dv and a good one

Hi kalpik,
Thanks I restarted and the problem is solved. But honestly is cd burner xp pro completely reliable?

Hi gary4gar,
Thank you though quite overwhelming! Could you please suggest any two or three of them in terms of reliability, features and data verification?
Thank you again.

 

[kalpik]

Ok, for making your own compilations, CD Burner XP or Deep Burner are good. For burning images, nothig even touches ImgBurn. Its even better than nero.

 

[gary4gar]

i personnaly suggest u nero has i am using it for 2 yrs.when nero fails i use the inbuilt win xp cd buring.so i can't suggest can one of these. i personnly did't tries all because i felt no need apart from nero,k3b(linux) or inbuilt cd burning(win-xp_

Hi Kalpik,
Thank you very much.

Hi gary4gar,
I have started using Nero in 2001 as it came bundled with my compaq PC. I got next version of Nero with my CDRW LG drive. Presently I use nero 7 but to my surprise it has started giving me a lot of trouble in terms of data verification. Most cases it shows that data verification failed (indifferent to what type of cd I am burning) and I found out that the data is not recorded properly in the CD in every case. That is why I am planing to move away from Nero. Moreover Nero is horribly resource hungry.
Thank you

Info: I burnt a image succesfully [Data verifacation was also successfull] with ImgBurn, the same image which Nero failed.
Thank you Kalpik.

 

[gary4gar]

now i am more in into gnu/linux so i haven't used nero 7. ya try to update to latest version because they released some fixes. the initial release was a total crap

 

[kalpik]

@src2206: Nero 7 is total crap (even the latest version, gary4gar). The best nero version would be v6.6.0.18 or v6.6.1.4 (if u have >=512 mb of RAM). If you dont find links to these versions, tell me ill search for them. Im too lazy to search now

 

[src2206]

Regarding Nero 7 I fully agree with you. As you are suggesting previous nero versions, does it mean that CD Burner XP Pro is not that reliable?
BTW I do not have the links .
Thanks
