anyone recommend any good softwares besides nero 5.5

[mrxalex319]

OK this is the story. I have a HP CD-WRiter 8200 series. I just downlaoded Nero 5.5 because i was reading the instructions on how to convert MPEG to VCD from this site. Everything was going good. i converted the MPEG's to MPEG-1 vcd format with TMPG. ALso i open up the demo for nero 5.5. Now this is when the trouble starts. IT says that it only can detect my Image recorder...wat da heck? is that suppose to happen? or is it suppose to detect my HP cd-writer instead? well when i try to burn something it burns an MPEG to something called "IMAGE" and what is that? i never seen that before...ok basically i need help. cuz the program wont detect my recorder and only detects a "image recorder" i need help thanks thanks and many thanks
i need a good program that WILL detect my recorder unlike nero
thanks

At the top there is a space that says Recorder. Click on this and select choose recorder. Change it from image recorder to your CD/R-RW Drive.
