Guest theeldergeek Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 I urgently need some free CD/DVD burning/copy software that works with Windows 7 Tried CDBurnerXP and Ashampoo. The former seems to not want to copy a DVD I have (standard DVD from a video camera, nothing commercial) and the latter just crashes every time I go to copy a DVD. Anyone?
dhicks Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 Tried CDBurnerXP and Ashampoo. ImgBurn? Works a treat on Windows XP (we have it on all our workstations), haven't tried it on Windows 7. -- David Hicks
TLARWise Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 How about InfraRecorder Portable | PortableApps.com - Portable software for USB drives, you don't have to install it and it says it is Windows 7 compatible.
timbo343 Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 try this, it is called ashampoo and works very well. Ashampoo Burning Studio Free - Free software downloads and software reviews - CNET Download.com
flyinghaggis Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 try this, it is called ashampoo and works very well. Ashampoo Burning Studio Free - Free software downloads and software reviews - CNET Download.com +1 Best Free DVD/CD Burning suite out there IMO
enjay Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 Using Ashampoo Burning Studio 2010 on Win7 here too (I think this is the first Win7-compat version); plus on all the XP clients. Works a treat, delivers via MSI and is free. There is an add-on to allow non-administrative users to run it - could be what is causing yours to crash?
john Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 Deepburner is what I use and that doesn't do a bad job at all

I'll look into this. Thanks.
Potato-Peeler Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 Another vote for infrarecorder InfraRecorder Portable | PortableApps.com - Portable software for USB drives its brilliant!
pritchardavid Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 There a program that I know of that just copies dvd (even copy protected stuff I believe, not that im suggusting anything) It called dvd shrink
Arthur Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 There a program that I know of that just copies dvd. It called dvd shrink I don't think DVD Shrink is quite what the OP is after, since it's more for ripping DVDs than burning files to disc. It also hasn't been updated since 2004 after the author left to work for Nero, so it can't cope with the latest copy protections. For that you would need to use AnyDVD, DVDFab PassKey or DVDFab HD Decrypter.
tech_guy Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 I have both ImgBurn and InfraRecorder installed on my Windows 7 PC & depending on what I'm doing, they both work well.
Arthur Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 Tried CDBurnerXP and Ashampoo. Another vote for ImgBurn. It just works. However, watch out for the Ask toolbar and desktop icons when you go to install it. http://www.neowin.net/forum/uploads/monthly_03_2010/post-3095-12687748299224.png http://www.neowin.net/forum/uploads/monthly_03_2010/post-3095-12687749515764.png

leco Posted May 14, 2010 Posted May 14, 2010 Another vote for ImgBurn. It just works. However, watch out for the Ask toolbar and desktop icons when you go to install it. Slightly off-topic but for info: The new version of Foxit PDF reader also has this gotcha, as I found out to my cost.
graywoodford Posted May 14, 2010 Posted May 14, 2010 I use image burn and ashampoo (depending what im burning) and both are great to use no issues here. (as long as you are using good media)
Arthur Posted May 14, 2010 Posted May 14, 2010 Slightly off-topic but for info: The new version of Foxit PDF reader also has this gotcha, as I found out to my cost. I noticed that too and now use the ZIP file version which is toolbar-free. 2
SneakyBeaky Posted May 15, 2010 Posted May 15, 2010 (edited) Starburn (the free version) also works well iSCSI, Free Windows iSCSI Target, Initiator and CD/DVD/Blu-Ray/HD-DVD Burner Edited May 15, 2010 by SneakyBeaky added link
enjay Posted May 25, 2010 Posted May 25, 2010 If you use Ashampoo, you will need to get a little (free) add-on sent you, otherwise only administrators will be able to use it.
clarky2k3 Posted May 25, 2010 Posted May 25, 2010 Burn Aware is good, currently using the beta version @ the mo.
stevenwba Posted May 25, 2010 Posted May 25, 2010 I use image burn and ashampoo (depending what im burning) and both are great to use no issues here. (as long as you are using good media) Same here, imgburn for mainly iso's and ashampoo to copy dvd and cds
