Which CD burning apps do you use?

[Chewie]

There's a "Nero 6 or 7?" thread somewhere hereabouts but Nero isn't the only knife in the drawer, so to speak, so I thought I'd gauge what is the most prevalent amongst members.
Feel free to give us comments on why you use a particular utility and/or why you may have rejected others.

I only use Nero v6. It does everything that I need it to.
I would upgrade to v7 if people started saying it's bugs had been squashed.

In the past I have tried CloneCD, Alcohol, WinOnCD, CDRWin, EasyCD Creator, Discjuggler, Blindwrite... perhaps a couple of others, and with the exception of EasyCD Creator, they all pretty much worked OK.
Nero 6 is definitely the jack-of-all-trades for me though.

Alcohol for burning images to discs, creating images, mounting.
Nero 7 for burning data files, dvds from vobs, music cds (altho I haven't for a while).

Used to use clonecd a few years ago, used Nero6 up until Nero 7 came out.

I'll quote myself from that Nero thread.

I vote for DropToCD. Whole program is less than 1.5MB.

I just burned an .iso to disc. No muss, no fuss. Point & click. No shutting down other processes. Takes 1/10 the rsources of Nero or less. Imo Nero is a fn joke.

Using Nero 6 for music cds, dvds, and so far so good.

i use nero 7

[Appzalien]

I use Nero6 for the straight forward stuff and sometimes the old standby Nero Burning Rom (I create a shortcut to it on my desktop since Nero Start Smart decided it wasn't important anymore). But believe it or not the one I use the most, recently anyway, is not even in the list. Dvd Decrypter has its own burner that works in conjunction with DvdShrink and using it I avoid the old "data will not fit on one Dvd" bug that Nero has picked up lately. I don't know if Nero is re-encoding with out my asking or if it just doesn't see the file correctly but it really tick's me off.

I use alcohol for programs, I use nero 6 for movies and music, I think that nero 7 sucks.

[limpingjaret]

I use Nero 7 and haven't experienced any bugs to speak of, I have a lightscribe drive which nero happily supports and lets me burn images to.

[Chewie]

Excuse me, but ftw is a lightscribe drive?
I've seen them advertised but what they actually do isn't made clear. Something about writing on the surface of the disc... images?

Use Alcohol and DVD Decryptor and have a drag and drop app that came with the pc that does data just fine...
