Can anyone, recommend a good free app for burning cds/dvds. Since ahead won't be releasing a vista update for nero 6 which came with my dvd drive maybe a good solution is to get another cheap drive that comes with the software? Please advice.

Regarding your Nero problem, Nero 7 works with Vista.


But I recommend VSO CopyToDVD. Im using it now and it work superb
Official Website

Built in explorer burner works well too

nero 7 lite, its unofficial striped-down version as official nero 7 is bloated.
but is not free tho

Hehe thanks for that - the problem with nero 7 is that it costs more than what a new dvd writer would - usd 79.99 - the fact that i've got an oem nero 6 does not reduce the cost by that much. I'll try out the other suggestions though

Nero 7 is loaded with tonnes of unnecessary features.

Well you can download it from websites... google around for bittorent sites or stuff..

its called bloatware, thats y got an unofficial stripdown version of nero 7 lite.

Well.. finding BT software is the easy part although I was hoping for a legal alternative to running warez on my pc... from running a legit copy to warez..

Then buy nero7 lor. Unless using built in Vista burner.

how's ok using built in vista burner...any exp

^^ Drag, drop, burn?

No exp, but maybe like burning cd on XP, drag drop dan burn. Try it yourself.

I'd recommend Ashampoo Burning Studio 6. Pretty lightweight and doesnt cost too much

I experience problems running Nero 7 in Vista Home Premium.Currently using bundled software like NTI CD/DVD Maker & Cyberlink PowerProducer 4.Works Excellent!

only the ver7 support vista.

i have 6 and it works fine though

to be exact, Nero Burning ROM 7.8.x.x and above works with full compatibility with Vista. The latest 7.9.x.x is preferred. Earlier Nero 7 will not work fully with Vista, some won't even install.

If you are thinking about free CD/DVD recording program, you can try simpler/smaller programs like burnatonce. I'd say a very simple and limited functionality like recording/copying/imaging> No DVD video authoring, encoding etc. though.

Try Nero 7 Premium Reloaded that works perfectly with my rig. No compatibility issues and no lag and no need tweaks or patches.

It used to be pirated OS and original software or pirated OS and software. Guess times are changing.

I can't choose burning speed in Nero 7, it automatically select the highest burning speed. Is it originally like that?

Imgburn works with vista?

No, you can choose the speed depends on your burner.. & the disc

True that NEro 7 work with Vist.

And if you wanna burn some DVD with cool featuer in Vista ,.

You cna try DVD maker available in Windows VISta home premium and Ultimate . Is a preloaded progam and FREE.

It will help u burn out a DVD that have all the cool graphic

ImgBurn supports all the Windows OS's - Windows 95, 98, Me, NT, 2000, XP, 2003 and Vista (including all the 64-bit versions).

yeah, tried after i posted that msg..

then wat for u asking ler?

coz that time didnt install vista yet...

I'm forever a Nero user. Oddly enough 7 never works for me when i was in XP. In Vista it's perfectly fine lol.

ya..im using nero 7 too..perfectly wif my vista

Now already the end of Nero 7 series. Hope version 8 will resolve much previous problem and add much more features.

nero 7 works fine with my vista.. came with my burner tho. got cool features too.

nero 7 lite or micro will do just fine

May I know what is Roxio for? Exactly same as Nero?

hi..wanna ask..i am using vista with nero8 ..but then there is often error after burning the dvd or cd..is that nero problem?...any other 3rd party burning software for vista?..thanx

not same company.

u can try ashampoo burning studio.

ooo..hehhe..later i try and see how..btw..thanx for the recommendation ya

u r welcome, ashampoo is quite easy to use.

To me, The burner function that vista bundled serve me well.

When I need to turn ISO file, I used UltraISO.

So far no problem.
