Best DVD software to take advantage of NEC ND-3520A?

noxipoo · 04-21-05, 12:34 PM

Can anyone recommend me the best DVD burning software that would take advantage of the NEC ND-3502A burner? Price is a major factor since Nero is $80-$100. That's more than the hardware. Please recommend some taking price into consideration. Legal options only please.

Well DVD-Shrink is free, so is Alcohol 120%, the combo of the two would work for MAKING BACKUP COPIES OF MOVIES THAT YOU ALREADY OWN FOR ARCHIVAL PURPOSES ONLY. Okay now that that's out of the way. A lot of DVD burners come with NERO and a license but Nero alone won't get passed DVD encryption. I suggest going to the afterdark forums as they have a lot of good DVD burning info there. That's where I learned my stuff.

well, all software will take advantage of the burner, there really is no software that uses items the dvd drive has usually - except maybe bitchecking or something

just make sure u get good media.

I have one of these drives. I'd advise checking out the cdfreaks.com message boards. Dee, released some firmwares for this drive that really improved the reading and writing of this drive. The firmware also enables bitsetting.

^^^ yuppers

but if it is quality you want more so, keep the stock, this applies mainly for important data backups type of thing as the hacked firare seemed to show a slight loss in possible quality, but u get so many other features.

Well the drive would be mostly used to backup data, not movies. I don't think it will ever burn any movies. I need something that can be used for free or cheap in a commercial setting. I was going to get the OEM drive and an USB 2 closure.

too bad XP doesnt support DVD disks - i dont think, since XP has built in Roxio (formerly adpatecs software, now owned by microsoft) burning software built into it.
