What is a good, freeware replacement for Nero or other CD authoring software?

July 5, 2004 3:31 PM

The new DVD burner (an NEC ND-2510A), didn't come with any burning software. I know I can get the express version of Nero 6 for a couple bucks, but does anybody know of a good small DVD burning program (preferably freeware) for Windows XP that would be downloadable on dialup? Sourceforge and Tucows, my usual trusted sites, are turning up bupkiss.

You can buy Nero full version very cheap, almost free, using deals found at FatWallet.com

Riffy, that's amazing. I was about to pay 30 times that.

Also, Pink, I downloaded this yesterday. Works well so far but it's only a trial version.

For example you can get Nero for $19.99 after rebate at Fry's

Riffola: perfect (that deal is also available through outpost.com if one doesn't have a Fry's nearby). Anybody have any experience with getting a rebate from Ahead Software?

CL: downloading the trial version now.

Thanks all!

What you need is Deepburner
Its free, easy to use, works fine and looks a lot like nero.
