Free DVD burning programs..

[mmmmBrains]

Can anyone suggest some? I've been using DVD Flick for quite some time with no problems but now I'm waisting alot of discs. If you do know of any please provide a link to the program. Thanks!

I use Handbrake. Pretty easy to use.

Img burn works great. However, if you are burning a lot of coasters I would suggest that it's probably not the program at fault -- either you have a batch of bad media or your dvd burner is dying on you.

I'm starting to believe my burner is crapping out. Seems like 1 out of every 5 or so I try burning completes. I've used the program many many times with no problems so I'm thinking that is the culprit. Anyway to test the drive other than burning and failing?

I'm not sure about testing a drive without wasting dvds. The way I figured out I had a bad batch of media and not a failing drive was to burn a different brand of dvds than what I usually use. All the ones from the different brand burned fine while I was getting a high level of fails with my regular brand. I had just opened a new spindle of 100 dvds of my regular brand and it turned out about half of them were bad. I've used thousands of those dvds and this was the first time that had happened. But since the other brand burned fine, I knew the drive was ok. If you try burning another brand and they work, then it's probably a bad media batch. If you try another brand and they fail the same way, I think it is safe to say it is time to get a new drive.

Good call. Going to make a trip up to Walmart here in a few and try a different brand. Hopefully that's it. If not I can always use my laptop to burn them. Thanks again duck!
