| 630291 | 2008-01-17 04:02:00 | Nero's official status post v6.6 is "bloatware". I'd look at getting lite freeware alternatives like DeepBurner and CDBurnerXP. Thanks for that suggestion. I have downloaded CDBurnerXP and am currently testing it. I had to download and install Microsoft's .NET software which took ages and is 60 meg ! I have noticed two shortcomings with it so far.... Firstly it does what my old Nero 6 does and that it, after you have burned a DVD if you do not exit out of the software fairly soon after it finishes the burn job it is then a bit of a chore to exit out as the program goes into the Not responding mode and it takes about 10 clicks to close it down. (Nero 8 lite does not do this and allows you to exit several hours later !) Secondly I could not see an easy method to burn a couple of folders to a DVD. That is I want to burn folder A and folder B. It will let me select all the files in these folders but I want to keep them separate on the DVD. It may do it but I could not find out how to do it in a few minutes of looking round. So to me that shows it is not well written software. regards Digby |
