Replacement for Nero

[gregmcc]

I see the latest version of Nero 9 is just under 400MB!

Its completely crazy! Can anyone recommend a good replacement for Nero. I've heard ashampoo is supposed to be pretty good. Any recommendations?

totalyfreeburner? not bad little app if you just want to burn files.

 

[Nuro]

Imgburn is also good depending on what you want to do. Really awesome little application.

Ashampoo Burning Studio Free Version rocks ! Can't believe it's free

Seconded.

FFS, I can't believe that Nero is now 400Meg. Do they have a linux distro in there somewhere.

It's no longer just a disc burning program, it's now a suite of programs that are mostly useless to me

Nero burning rom is still impressive, and that's all I usually use.

Don't know about #9 though, haven't used it yet.

yes virtual machine

There is of course a stripped-down version of Nero, called Nero Micro, at just a fraction of the bloated suite size and it gets back to the basics of what Nero used to be about: just compiling, burning or copying discs. I've been using Version 8 which does all I want in less than 25 MB - dunno if there's a version 9 though.

Nero Lite maybe? You still need a Nero registration number though.

 

[Terencek]

No, the one I have is definitely called Nero Micro (ver. 8.3.2.1) which dates from March last year. The download or install file is just 21 MB but yes, certainly it needs a valid registration number -- it's not a freebie.

I'm also using the Nero 8 Micro version.

I have been trying a program called expressburn It is huge at 392 kilobytes.
Seems to do all the basics

wow... that's really huge...

I switched from Nero 8 Full (383MB) to Nero 8 Lite (35MB), and I'm happy - little system resources, basic burning with Nero Rom and Nero Express, no bloatware, and I use my serial!
