DVD data burning

[Mr. Murphy]

I have to back up a bunch of files to DVD, and Google is giving me an awful lot of options. Do any of you have a favorite DVD burning software that you would recommend? Just data - text files and audio I've recorded and created.

Deepburner.

http://www.deepburner.com/

Free, amazingly easy to use, and has plenty of options. Give it a whirl.

I'm lazy, for regular data discs I just use the windows burner. Gets the stuff on the disc and doesn't take too long.

::edit:: Bah, I haven't burned DVDs for a long time, so I forgot that XP doesn't have this... Just ignore me!

I'm drunk.

[Mr. Murphy]

I'm drunk.

I guess that explains it.

LOL, wtf? Just getting that out of the way...?

My inner monologue got a little outer.

Nero, still works really well.

that's the one I've been using recently. It's not as full featured as Nero, but at the same time, Nero's so full of bloatware, that I don't think it's right to pay 100% thier asking price when I really only want 10% (ok... maybe 15%) of thier functionality.

cdburnerxp does burn DVDs fine though, and works on Vista too, don't let the name fool you.

Imgburn. Never look back.

[Mr. Murphy]

Thanks for all the suggestions! I ended up grabbing DeepBurner right away, and it's been doing great - simple drag-and-drop interface, status bar to let you know how much more room you have on the DVD. I guess the real test comes when I try and retrieve the data in a year - but so far, ten DVDs worth of backups have been made and they all work just fine.

I guess that explains it.

I wish I was as drunk as he is. Maybe in a couple of hours...

I will have to look up Deepburner. My copy of Nero is old and bloated.

I have been a loyal infrarecorder (http://infrarecorder.org/) user for those off chances where I need to actually make a disc, like a Linux distro. It is sparse, lean, and it gets the job done. If you need to burn images, movie discs for a DVD player, or just data.
