Hi.

Windows 10 Prof 64-bit

I have used Nero Express 6.6 previously but now it does not want to install on my 64-bit machine.

Is there free software you can recommend to use? I create my own dvds for training purposes and mainly use Youtube videos.

Thank you.

Recently had to make an audio CD for an OAP, CDBurnerXP did the job very well. They should update their name though.

ImgBurn is a bit clunk unless you're just wanting to write .iso files or a CD full of files.

To be honest I never tried ImgBurn burning audio tracks (last time I needed it a long time ago), but I am sure it can do it propely. Very simply job. BTW, if ImgBurn requires a cuesheet file, use EAC for preparation or burn in EAC too.
 
Why don't you just get a bunch of cheap USB flash drives? They are so cheap these days, even the smallest ones are fine to replace DVDS and you could possibly brand it with logos for marketing?
 
If the OP wants to create DVD videos, Freemake Video Converter does a good job, it has some simple editing tools too.
 
:confused:I recently downloaded imgburn as freemake DVD converter has been playing up and will not allow me to burn with 16:9 Aspect Ratio.
I don't burnt these for myself but for a lady in a retirement home. She has tried to play a few series on her DVD player but tells me that they don't all play. Does anyone know if i must burn to a certain format?
 
Try burning it at the slowest speed possible. I know it sounds crazy, but I seem to get better burned DVD's when I do it slower.

This is dependent on DVD player capabilities. Older consumer players can directly play only DVD format. If you don't know these capabilities, you have to convert movie series files (mkv,divx,xvid...) to the pure DVD format. It will cost you lot of blanks, as new formats are better compressed and you won't be able to put on the DVD disk more than one episode unless you create your own menu system.

I suggest to find out model number of DVD player and check specification. By example, if player is is divx compatible, convert series to the divx format, then burn media in data mode using as many files as it fit. Post model number here if not sure.

I can be wrong, as I don't use consumer DVD players, but it should work as above.
