Poll: What do you use to burn cd's in XP? (Nero, etc.)

[wjsulliv]

Ok so I'm not a big fan of XP's buring software. Can't seem to burn directly cd-romto burner. It only copies to the folder and then burns. I hate that, its so slow.

SO THE QUESTION IS: What do you guys find works the best?

Back in my 2000/Me/98SE days I used Easy CD Creator 4. Now I'm looking for something to replace that that works in XP.

Also:
Could somebody PM me the name of that buring software that when you change your settings to canadian you can burn/view copyrighted matierial. But on US settings you get a notice that those files will be unavailable due to the copyright laws. I can't seem to find nor remember the name, and its ok if it doesn't work in XP.


Edit: Ok I added a couple I obviously missed...

Clone CD
NTI Cd Maker Pro
CDRWIN

Easy CD 5 is the only Adaptec stuff that works in XP, and it's really pretty bad

Nero all the way

 

[YoullMispronounceIt]

Nero 5.5.?.? whatever the newest is and CDR-Win 4.0 BETA

The only two burning programs you'll ever need!

I use Nero to burn data CD's and Media Player to burn audio CDs.

Nero

I use Nero mainly, but the native XP's Roxio burning is what I use for just drag n drop onto my CDRW and that works fine, and Roxio EZCD 5 for the wife and kids works very good as well.

Oh and CloneCD of course.

YoullMispronounceIt hit it right on the head. CDRWin for all the bin files and Nero 5.5 for all the iso files. Don't need anything else.

 

[PliotronX]

Nero 5.5

 

[stingygrrl]

I only use nero and clonecd

 

[Grunt03]

I use CLONE CD

 

[tboo]

Nero & Fireburner

 

[holycow]

nero 5.5 and winoncd 5.

 

[bkdraft]

Easy CD Creator 5 With the XP patch. Works great!! No problems!!

 

[fow99]

Nero 5.5.6.4 and Blind Write for ISO images.

 

[Shudder]

Fireburner for bin/iso

Nero for everything else but copies.

Clone CD for that. (which is the program you can set to be in canada and copy SD2 games)

 

[Aquaman]

I use Nero, I think version 5.0.4.8.... Never have any problems, and I didnt need to install any patches too...

 

[ILikeSprite]

I use Nero.

 

[Grunt03]

Clone CD

 

[tjames214]

NTI CD-Maker 2000 Pro. Quite nice in my humble opinion. I'm surprised it's not listed.

 

[cnicol]

I use nero for general burns...

cdrwin for bin and cue files...

Clone CD to make perfect copies...

 

[Dan]

Here's another vote for Nero 5.5. I never have a problem with it.

 

[millsy]

Nero is excellant, so far no probs.

Have not tried CloneCD but will do.

 

[bigrash]

I use EZCD Creator 5 with the updates, cause it works fine. I like Nero better, but I keep getting errors when I use it in xp.

Nero 5.5.6.4 does bin/cue image files natively now. Previous Nero versions does bin/cue files also, but you had to little trick:

FILE>BURN IMAGE
in the FILE AS TYPE selection, select ALL FILES (*.*)
open your *.bin files
check the RAW DATA
then burn away
