Thanks for posting the info about the free Ashampoo products Bob
. I decided to try the burning suite and I like it. It has more capabilities than Digital Media Plus including making bootable discs, creating backup archives on external drives, ripping CD's, more image file type support, built in Lightscribe labeling ability and lots of other labelling options, Blu-ray support (which I can't use yet but maybe some day). The DVD authoring feature is kind of redundant because you can burn the DVD folders as a data disc and it will play perfectly, I've done it that way before.
Overall, the program is pretty impressive and best of all, free. It does as much as bundled versions of Nero and Cyberlink do with far less bloat. I already ditched Sonic and I may even be able to get rid of my Sure Thing labeling program. I got two free products and I like both of them very much. Thanks again.
