CD/DVD burning software - Windows Explorer is failing... are there any reliable shareware versions out there?
Hello MS Answers people,
I’m checking to see if anyone can recommend a decent sharware CD/DVD burner for Windows 7.
I use the full paid version of Toast on a Mac, but I’m just trying to fix, maintain, keep running and backup this PC that belongs to my mom.
I’m trying to back-up some data files after a fresh Windows 7 installation that is acting a little funky, just in case I need to do a re-install.
The Windows Explorer CD/DVD burner isn’t doing the job...
it gets stuck on certain files and wants to leave hundreds of files out of the copying process, only to waste another disk...
this happens whether I use
the "Mastered" method or the "Live File System" method.
Does Microsoft offer any other alternative for CD/DVD burning software?...
I couldn't find any on their website.
The "Windows Media Player" option for burning media disks seems to be oriented more for music and video CDs and DVDs, not for data files.
I found a free burner program called "InfraRecorder" on "gofree.com" and tried it...
after getting past all the extra stuff that it wanted to install, it then would not burn hardly any of the files that I was trying to burn...
and I’m not trying
to burn anything special, just photo files, email files and the like.
Then after "InfraRecorder didn’t work, I untinstalled it and on the next restart this computer went into a comma, lost all of it’s desktop icons, and would not open any programs...
I thought it was a goner until I remembered to do a Restore Point...
that
brought it back, for now, thankfully, but I am still having many funky crash problems and applications that won’t open or open and then close themselves, so I need to do another DVD backup.
Does anyone know how reliable "Nero BurnLite 10" is?...
and if it is problematic or if it tries to install other 3rd or 4th party software?...
the website seems to be pretty impressive, and
they have many products to buy, but they have this free version of BurnLite 10 that I’m wondering about.
Here is the URL for this Nero BurnLite 10 product...
does anyone know about this or anything better that doesn't leave out most of one's files when trying to burn, besides the obvious $100 versions from Roxio, etc.?

Keys to the Problem CD/DVD burning software - Windows Explorer is failing... are there any reliable shareware versions out there?
Hi again Spirit,
I installed a disk burner application call "Ashampoo Burnign Studio 6 Free" and it worked great!
The built in Explorer disk burner application in Windows 7 was useless...
rejecting masses of files, getting stuck and burning single empty folders and simply was not a working app...
it only wasted 5 disks.
So I did my homework, asked people on forums, read reviews on Cnet, and out of 10 or so burner apps that I narrowed it down to, then picked 3, I read the best reviews onAshampoo Burning Studio 6,
so I downloaded it and installed it on my mom's new W7 operating system.
This program worked flawlessly and not only burned all of my files trouble free, but it had an easy, attractive interface and ran at 40x speed, where as the stock Explorer disk burner app built into W7, that didn't work anyway, was only running at 8x
max.
This app burnt over 500 MB in about 3 minutes, which means it would burn a 4.7 GB DVD in less than 30 minutes...
that's pretty good.
I then copied some various test files back from the newly burnt disk to my hard drive to make sure they copied and weren't corrupt,
as I always do this check after burning, and the burnt files opened perfectly.
I am a Mac user who uses Toast Titanium on several Macs that I have, and this product worked as perfectly as Toast does...
this app was for my mom's PC that I've been working on, troubleshooting Vista, and then finally installing W7 on in the last 45 days...
now I'm a semi-PC expert in addition cherishing my Macs...
so I'm really glad this free app turned out to work as well as $100 apps.
This shows that non-Microsoft software works better on Microftsoft software than Microsoft software works on Microsoft software...
yikes!
So I guess this proves that there was no problem with my drive, and that I just needed a good burning app to the replace the disfunctional stock disk burning app in Windows 7.

A bit off the subject...
it was interesting last night when I was checking on YouTube.com for something called “Pirates of Silicon Valley”.
If you didn't already see it, this is a movie made in 1999 that portrays the rise of Steve Jobs, the founder and CEO of Apple, and Bill Gates, or course the founder and CEO of Microsoft.
The story is about their rise to power, how they actually worked together
at times, and how Bill Gates stole the original GUI from Apple and Jobs to create Windows back in the mid-1980’s.
Jobs had charmed the GUI interface and mouse technology from a gullible staff of software programmers and technicians at 3M before Gates stole it from Jobs...
or as the story goes...
this most artistic create, the best businessmen steal...
I think
Woz was really the tech genius behind Apple and Jobs the smooth talking promoter.
Look for the famous quote by Jobs' character,"Are you a virgin?"
Noah Wiley plays Steve Jobs and Anthony Michael hall plays Bill Gates...
they are both perfect in their roles.
I had seen this movie back in 1999 or so when it was running a lot on TBS.
I found that on YouTube.com, the entire movie, “Pirates of Silicon Valley” is available to watch, broken down into 10 or 11 parts, each part is about 10 minutes long, so the entire movie would be almost 2 hours long...
below are 2 links to this movie
on YouTube...
the first link below is part one of this movie, “Pirates of Silicon Valley”...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xflXMZL2stU
The 2nd link below is a full page to select any of the 10 or 11 parts of the movie...
look for these movie parts posted by “glork2007”...
he seems to have posted all of the parts with sound, whereas some others have posted certain parts of this movie
with no sound...

NOTE THIS TOO :
I also found videos of an interview with Steve Jobs and Bill GatesTOGETHER in 2007...
it is very, very interesting...
the link below is showing part 1 of 11 parts...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5Z7eal4uXI&NR=1&feature=fvwp
The link below is a full page to select any and all parts of this interview, , again 10 or 11 of them...
it seems all of these Jobs/Gates interview parts were posted by someone named Kenzoki.
