CDBurnerXP and other burning software

[storp]

Am considering loading this https://cdburnerxp.se/en/home

Suggestions for this or any other burning software? If not free at little cost.

Will be burning dvd's (mainly data if that matters).

Writer is LG m disc.

Imgburn

Thanks for the suggestion, but when visiting imgburn dot com I'm getting a separate blocked address as if something might be malicious ('blocked through PUA blacklist' through eset).

If someone could check this out, if it needs to be, would much appreciate it.

Sorry, but I've been hacked twice in less than the past two months.

I use CyberLink Power2Go. My first computer came with it and I liked it, so when I got my gaming PC I got it for that.

Argh.

Since Windows has integrated ISO burning now I haven't had to use a third party application in a long time.

What version?

 

[voyagerfan99]

What version?

Windows 7 and Windows 8.

I use CDBurnerXP, but every time I launch it my anti-virus pops up saying that CDBurnerXP put spyware into my appdata folder and was deleted.

 

[voyagerfan99]

CDBurnerXP is crap anyway. It should be marked as spyware

 

[The VCR King]

It should be marked as spyware

Why?

Spyware? Is it really or just something overly mild?

I've seen some programs want to leap out and say "look at all this we found" when so much is harmless.

What do you use for antivirus?

Isn't there a way to write an exception?

 

[voyagerfan99]

Why?

Because it's a crap piece of software, just like I said in my post.

Yeah I had problems with downloading ImgBurn - Trend said it was malicious. Not really too fussed though, I actually use an old copy of Nero Express that I got for free with an old DVD-RW drive years ago.

Windows 7 and 8/8.1 have an image burner built in and you can even double click on the ISO file in 8.1 to show the contents of the ISO meaning that you don't even need to mount them anymore. :good:

Saying "it is bad because it is bad" doesn't explain anything.

I have used CDBurnerXP for years and had no problems. Burn an ISO? Works fine. Burn music? Fine. Movies? Fine. Pictures? Fine. Data? Fine.

So what is the problem exactly, what is an alternative piece of free software, and how is it better? If you have a preference for another piece of software, good on you, but it doesn't immediately make every other alternative bad just because you say so

Me too i use CdburnerXp with no issues,any of the others mentioned above, download alot crap with them.

You just have to download the programs from the correct website. Some websites will include other software when installing the main program, most of that other software is malware.

 

[storp]

So to help clarify, if I download from https://cdburnerxp.se/en/home it should come clean?

I hesitate to use Windows 7 for burning, though I may end up using.
Will the burnt media play on other machines?

 

[johnb35]

Yes, always go to the main site to get the program. Check the burning options, should be one listed so that it more likely to be played on other machines. Something about being finalized. If not finalized, data isn't readable.
