I am looking for a good CD-burner program.

I tried burnatonce from the pricelessware list and it didn't work at all
with my rather old Matshita burner. So I need suggestions for alternative
programs to try.

Thanks.

So there are alternatives to burnatonce.

I must say that last night I couldn't understand how such a bad program as
burnatonce could get into the PL list.

The only explanation must be that it works well with many CD burners.
With my burner it was a catastrophy, it even tried three times to convince
me that the CD it just had ruined was still empty.
It cost me 3 destroyed CDs before I uninstalled burnatonce and I will
probably never install it again.
 
Deepburner last version 1.1.0.98 adware?-spyware?

I've certainly never noticed anything, and Spoybot hasn't picked anything
up.

Judging by the wording in the EULA, it applied to the old
shareware/trialware versions, and not the now freeware one's. I'll have to
look further into it.

Well, i guess you answered your own question then.

FWIW, after reinstalling Win2K a couple of months ago, BAO was the
only burn proggie that i bothered to install and it has been operating
flawless since then. A dozen data CDs burned and not a single problem
here (although IsoBuster can't read these CDs... very weird). I have a
LG 8320B CD-RW.

Have you checked that you have ASPI correctly installed? And, if you
are on 2K/XP, have you tried using the SPTI interface (it's a toggle
in the options)?

I installed the ASPI updater from the same web site before installing BAO.

I am in win98.

Other burner programs work without problems.

"Hello,

let me clarify- under no circumstances will Astonsoft enforce this extract
for EULA. DeepBurner does not contain any adware/spyware pieces and will
never contain.
In fact, this EULA point was unnecessary and will be changed (this extract
removed) in the next release of Deep Burner. Thanks for noting it!

You know I used deep burner..and it has a great interface and seemed to work
very well. But when I tried to access ANY of the zipped files I had burned
with it on a CD, they were all bad zip files per WinZip. Anyone else have
this happen?

I was going to suggest using CDCheck (http://www.elpros.si/CDCheck/) after
burning to ensure a good burn, but I see now that it is NAGWARE! So I can't
recommend it, but does anyone know of a truely freeware program that does
the same thing?

try CD Speed - http://www.cdspeed2000.com/

does this and more (very handy!!)

Well, I took a look at CD Speed, but it doesn't appear to do, in any way,
what CDCheck does. For instance, I see no way in CD Speed to compare the
files on the CD with the originals on disk and get a report of the files
that don't match. The manual makes no mention (that I can see) of this
ability either.

But since you say it does this, would you mind pointing out in some
detail where within the program this can be done?

I burned mp3's and a few couldn't be read by my player when I used Deepburn
but were ok with Burnatonce. Also, Quick erase on Deepburn took over 20
minutes and only 45 seconds on Burnatonce.

I also uses Sony CDExtream and Roxio and never had any problems. I don't
recommend anyone use Deepburn.

It hasn't nagged me and I've been using it for 2 months. It says on the
site 'free for non profit use' that's not nagware. I recommend it highly.
