Alternatives to Nero

[chewyshaun@hotmail.com]

Hi, Can someone tell me a good burning program aside from nero, nero wont recognise my drive, vcdeasy provides me with a host of errors, I have recordnow dx which is good for burning compliant vcd but there is no svcd option, so if anyone can reccomend me anything?

You might want to consider Winoncd http://www.cequadrat.com/
just an idea...

how about using vcdeasy to make an image, mount it with daemontools, and then use anything to do a cd copy
--works every time!

If Nero won't recognize your CDR drive it's time for a new drive.

I think VCDEASY is the best alternative to Nero. :P

If you are having problems burning with VCDEasy try this:

For VCDEasy, in the bottom right corner, does it say ASPI seems valid: yes, or ASPI seems valid: no? If it says ASPI seems valid: no, that is your main problem. In that case I suggest you go to: <http://www.afterdawn.com/software/cdr_software/cdr_tools/frcaspi.cfm> , download the ForceASPI drivers, install them and reboot. If after you reboot, it shows "ASPI seems valid: yes" then on the CDRDAO settings page, select generic-mmc as the force driver for the CD Writer, select your specific CD Writer in the dropdown menu for that section and check the force execution box. Now you should be able to burn using CDRDAO, which is the CD burning program built in to VCDEasy.
