[steve760]

Looking for a replacement for NERO, as they have finally ran me off, they have got just to damn expensive and tired of the new features going in new versions that cost a million bucks.

I know their is a lot of good projects and free stuff out their I just want input on what people think is the best. Suggestions..

Please any suggestions will help, I would like to find something tonight.

Thanks ahead of time for any info.

Thanks Helios61, was actually just looking at that one, it looks great. Yet maybe be lacking some features, you know, older nero was so great, now they just have it so bloated, was great for Vid editing/burning and audio.

I would like to find a good solution to install for peeps that they can burn most files, make video cd/dvd's and maybe some other esential's you would expect. Even if they had to pay 80 bucks once, but not every 6 months as NERO has came to.

Thanks and we have this one bookmarked.

Why bother upgrading Nero if there's nothing you need in the new versions ? - I'm still running Nero 7. I agree with you that the recent versions seem bloated and expensive....

GUI for dvdauthor - is a good , free DVD-Video authoring tool (but a bit daunting at first).

Must admit, I just like the simplicity of ashampoo burning studio 7, equivalent to nero without the headaches

Just actually pulled out a Nero 7 Express OEM Samsung Disk and installed that for my mom on her new comp. Just about the perfect amount of stuff in that build, made sure to exclude the Nero Home.

Yep version 8 and 9 are just getting carried away, version 9 of nero is just a complete pile, we have had so many calls for people wanting 9 removed from their systems, leaves behind all the "Iconless AutoPlay options" in both XP and Vista system when you remove, as well as causes many other operating system errors.

Thanks for the info I will check out the GUI for dvdauthor and see what it looks like and offers.

ImgBurn seems to be popular as a burning engine (but I've no personal experience of it).

Thanks for the recommendation, this looks OK, how often do they upgrade versions and leave the old one behind?

I work on the principal, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it"

Like everything, there are improvements, but who uses them, MP in my mind is totally different, as its pretty modular.

i just want to burn the disk type I chose , remember that Nero, without all the other crap.
