Title: Ashampoo Burning suite?
Post by: Yezinki on October 14, 2010, 07:27:59 AM
Hello there,

What are you views regarding Ashampoo Burning suite……does it have any edge over Nero...Read that it cannot burn some Mp4 formats?

Regards!

I really like the Ashampoo suite. It does everything I could ever want a burning app to do and it's very lightweight. Nero has gotten more and more bloated over the years but I have to admit that I've always preferred and used Adaptec/Sonic/Roxio over Nero anyway. Ashampoo is now my choice though.

I really don't know. I never use MP4. I'm still a Divx, Xvid afficianado.

Yezinki have a look at imgburn, this imo is the best burning program out there, easy to understand light and fast and only 4 meg and burns everything. I use it mainly for burning dvd's, it's also free.

Nero is now bloated pile of junk. Ashampoo Burning Studio 6 Free is the best burning software i've ever used.
Simple to use, doesn't have any unnecessary features and does the burning with perfection.

Install Ashampoo 'free' and wait for the offers. I think the latest free one is V 9.xx
The offers are great - up to 60% off
Actually I use imgburn but then I do not need a suite

Auslogics defragger is a file level defragger not disc, at least it used to be :) Very good tho'

ImgBurn don't convert files to create VCD or DVD. it's only burning tool for images and data files.

The 'free' version, although called 2010, is V9 if you look at the internal file data, nothing wrong with that though.

ImgBurn don't convert files to create VCD or DVD. it's only burning tool for images and data files.
ImgBurn supports a wide range of image file formats - including BIN, CUE, DI, DVD, GI, IMG, ISO, MDS, NRG and PDI.

It can burn Audio CD's from any file type supported via DirectShow / ACM - including AAC, APE, FLAC, M4A, MP3, MP4, MPC, OGG, PCM, WAV, WMA and WV.

You can use it to build DVD Video discs (from a VIDEO_TS folder), HD DVD Video discs (from a HVDVD_TS folder) and Blu-ray Video discs (from a BDAV / BDMV folder) with ease.

Like i said it burn's everything, no one said anything about converting. Maybe you should read the post's more closely next time Omid.

@craigb: Sorry, I just mentoined you said "Burn everything". I meant it cannot burn a MKV, MP4 or FLV into a DVD Video disc.
Of course I know what ImgBurn does since I've used it.

Yes then you would need a converter, i use dvdfab for my decrypting, rips and converting file's for my media centre and have that linked to imgburn to start up automatically and do my burning, does my dvd backups in about 15 mins and blurays about 45 min from start to finish.

very good for you, taking an ISO image from a DVD using ImgBurn for me take 4-5 times longer than take same image using Ashampoo Burning Studio, even with set ImgBurn for max speed  ???

Should never burn at max speed, only half of what your disc speed is or your drive, whichever is the lowest and then set imgburn to auto write speed and to automatically recognize the different disc's you use via the build setting's and from then on everything is fully automated,once the initial set up is done everything is two click's and you've got what you want, perfect 1 to 1 copy's. :)

I said about Taking Image from Disc to Hard Drive, not burning. Like when Take an ISO image from DVD to Hard takes 20 Minutes, I take same Image from Save DVD to Hard Disk in 5 minutes ???

I dont use imgburn for retrieving image's as my disc's are encrypted, that why i use dvdfab first and then use imgburn to burn it. Ashampoo does not decrypt disc's and neither does imgburn, if i only had unencrypted disc's to copy and burn i would use windows dvd maker or media player.

I have ImgBurn  as well since it comes bundled in with DVD Flick (an excellent program to convert any type of video to a DVD that will play in any player) . ImgBurn is okay, can handle more types of image formats, but is a lot more complicated than Ashampoo and can NOT do multisession discs.

Seems promising. Thanks for the suggestion. Will try it.
