Nero First thing first a monster. If you ask about burning soft, first reply you hear is Nero. Using it feels as if you entered the store to buy some cigarettes, but instead you find circus, with jugglers and magicians in there. Who needs all that crap when all you want is to burn some information on the disk. There is nothing easy about this program, since it tries to include all the multimedia functions, it became hard to do the main purpose of the program. Really it is as good as anything else. The price tag also scares you away, 3 times more expensive than any other program for this purpose. http://www.nero.com/ena/nero9-introduction.html Express Burn Simple and has everything you need to burn. My personal choice for those 2 reasons and the fact that I can also run it on mac, so I don't have to switch to PC every time. http://www.nch.com.au/burn/plus.html Roxio Creator Same thing as Nero only for 10 bucks extra. Edit movies like a pro, and other ad's on their page. Basically they claim that it is Final Cut/Photoshop, which happened to be also able to burn disks. I'm not buying it, what about you? http://www.roxio.com/enu/products/creator/...e/overview.html Burn Pro Same as Express Burn with the only difference, using same drive and same dvd's I had 3 errors in burning during a week of using it. http://www.mp3editorpro.com/burnpro/index.htm
