Do I need Nero too?

[Nicholas 1]

Hi there,

 

This is my first post at the forums.

 

I find Image Burn great, but have a few questions about it.

 

1. Do I still need Nero along with it?

 

2. Do the 2 conflict with each other?

 

My machine's optical drives are Sony DRU- S70U, Toshiba TST 64AD, Matshita DVD RAM DJ-64S.

 

Hoping to hear from you,

 

Thanks,

 

Nicholas.

Hi and welcome to the forum, Nicholas 1!

 

1. Depends what you use in the Nero suit. If you only use the burning part of Nero, you should be able to use ImgBurn for those tasks.

 

2. No.

To add to Cynthia's post. Nero (or whatever other burning program you're comfortable with) might still be required if you need to burn multisession discs since ImgBurn isn't capable of doing that. That aside however ImgBurn can do everything Nero can.

Multisession isn't supported at this time.

Also if you need lightscribe capabilities you'll need another software set.

Thanks Cynthia, AliveNoMore & LOCOENG for your expert comments, I appreciate em.

 

Am new to burning, just burnt a few Data, ISO & mp3 Audio till now.

 

Haven't tried +/-DL or Multisession yet.

 

I am using Nero & Image burn at the moment.

 

What exactly do you mean by lightscribe capabilities?

 

Does one need a DL media for a multisession?

 

I only use Verbatim media....is that good enough?

 

Matshita DVD RAM UJ-846S is very picky drive....it dislikes Nero, mostly gives an error with it.....works great with image burn.....don't know why.

 

Regards!

No, you don't need dual-layer media to use multisession.

 

And yes, Verbatim media is high quality

It's rare to see Matshita drives working at all.

If that is all you are doing, then Imgburn is all you need.

Hi there,

 

Even when I check Multisession in Nero it won't burn new data files on a RW media.......why?

 

What exactly is lightscribe?

 

I find Image Burn the best, just a bit less user friendly for a senile beginner.

 

Can it burn mp3s & burn DVD movies?

 

Hoping to hear from you smart guys.

 

Yes I am in Pakistan working on a project.

Probably because the disc is closed/finalised. If you want to know more please ask in a forum dedicated to Ner0.
