New Addition to My Toolbox

Published 08 March 08 07:46 PM

When it comes to creating CDs and DVDs, I pretty much have a singular need - burning ISO images of software.  Therefore, I always find myself pretty annoyed with the "everything and the kitchen sink" tools like Nero and Roxio and I've been quite content over the past year using an internal command line tool.  Unfortunately, over the last month, I've been encountering all sorts of problems with this tool and as I'm about to pave my workstation for Vista with SP1, I needed to find a good (free) DVD burning tool - and stumbled across this little gem.  Bottom line from my experience thus far - it's free, it's simple, and it works as advertised.

Blake - thanks for that link.  I used Alex's recorder back in the XP days - just hadn't realized that he updated for Vista.  Good to know!

Wow... It's the same interface as the good old DVD Decrypter, used it for lots of movie dvd backups with it. http://www.dvddecrypter.org.uk/

The guy who originally produced it was threatened by the movie moguls, and had to abandon the project. And, as a matter of fact, there is imgburn linked from the supporter of dvd decrypter!

Will download and try, for sure.
