What is the best burning software on the market, that pretty much does everything you want it to do (ex: bootables,dvd,svcd/vcds/ISO etc...)
 
Napalm burns all media faster than anything else:rolleyes:
but a close second (IMHO) is discjuggler but I dont use it.

Try em all make your own choice.:eek: ;)

IMHO a pointless question; ;)
you will find "specialists" and "alrounders", but you will never find "the best" software;

A debate that will never end - Most software will do MOST tasks with varying degrees of ease and ability - while some require purchased plugins to what others include as standard.

The two MAJOR and highly polarized groups seem to be those who like or dislike NERO, and a similar polarization on Easy CD Creator - the two most bundled programs!

Nero and Easy CD Creator are probably the two biggest.
WinOnCD has some nice features (also from the ROXIO stable - but after acquiring from CEQUADRAT, thet really don't do enough with this gem).
Prassi-based products (RecordNow and others) - once strong contenders, but suffering from a lack of focus due to frequent changes of ownership!
NTI CDMaker is one of the "best of the rest", and B's Gold is also a minority following (bundled with some SONY drives).

I used to be loyal to Easy CD Creator, but my allegiance is now Nero - though when I give this wreck of a system the long-promised format and Reinstall 98 or upgrade to XP, I might find I can get WinOnCD to work again - it was a FUN program for audio, with a "filter track" to apply and position effects.

Indeed... there really is no perfect or "best" software. However, there is the "best" software for the job. The all in one approach is not always the wisest choice. I personally use 4 different burning proggies to get the job done. ;)

Yeah,I agree with you On WinOnCD,I've still got the old CEQUADRAT WinOnCD 3.7-a good program,sadly doesn`t operate with XP.Roxio won`t support it anymore.Whenever I want some fun with it though,I boot Windows 98/Me up and run WOCD just for some good memories.... :)
 
I've found that by owning Nero and RecordNow Max, I can do pretty much everything I need to. Although I also own Feurio... hands down the best burning app if you do much audio.

I used to use Feurio (nagware trial) - but not found the need for it lately - though I'll use a lot of tricks to get by with freeware / bundles programs and coverCD stuff - I think I'd describe myself as being simply "anti shareware" now. Not the place, but I might describe a recent remastering task over in the audio section - and then you can decide if my techniques are mad, bad or sad!

And here it is - Mad, Bad or Sad???
 
Some people might not agree with me, but WinOnCD/DVD 6 and Nero5.5 are the best allrounders in my opinion.
In your case I would install different burning programs and see which one works best for you!

Cheers

Hmmm..."Napalm" Don`t know this one.BTW I`ve an old copy of DiscJuggler lying around somewhere which I`ve never installed and used..Never bothered with it..Might try it one day just for a laugh... :)
 
Plextor, if you check the archived posts, you'll find that a lot of very good things have been said here about Diskuggler in the past (and it's still my main burner). It's stable and extremely accurate (especially in burning some forms of copy-protected media). Whether its substantial price makes it a contender with other free-ware and less expensive shareware apps now is another question.
 
Juggler is a real powerhouse, but with a GUI that is nowhere close to friendly or ergonomic, so it's quite unlikely to catch on between noobs or regular users. But experienced toasters will hardly accept to use anything else- it is THAT better than the norm.

Nice one,catachresis.If it`ll run on XP,(Not really an issue as I`ve now got 98/ME on another partition :D if any hardware/software compatibility issues crop up-It`s always still handy to have...) You may have brought to light a "hidden treasure" I never realised I had...Thanks,m8! :D
