Reviewed by: CNET Staff
Burning discs may seem so mid-'90s to some of you, but CDs and DVDs are still an effective back-up tool, and if you're a budding filmmaker or have a garage band that's this close to making it big, discs are an essential medium for your mantra.
The good-looking, easy-to-use Ashampoo Burning Studio 7 comes with all the tools most users will need to create audio, data, and video CDs, DVDs, and Blu-ray discs. The interface is compact and uncluttered, with helpful tool hints that open up next to each burning option, making it hard to screw up. To set up a burn session, you can simply drag and drop files into a playlist-style window. We like the handy, omnipresent gauge at the bottom of the window, which lets us know how much free space we have left. Audio CDs can be made from file types including WAV, MP3, OGG, and WMA, while most video formats are supported for DVD.
Ashampoo Burning Studio doesn't have all the advanced features you'll find in huge packages such as Nero, but average users won't miss them. Ashampoo Burning Studio's simplicity and broad range of tools make it a superb choice for most burning needs.

Version: Ashampoo Burning Studio 7.1
"Not bad as a disk buring application."
Pros: The GUI is great. It has many features and writes a good CD or DVD. I found the speed average on music CD's and data DVD's and the quality of the finished disk wasn't bad at all. It runs fine on either an "XP" or "Vista" system but so does "Ashampoo Burning Studio 6" and you can get it dirt cheap directly from "Ashampoo". I did find two issues with this application.
Cons: First, it ruined two CD/RW disks. The disk erase feature id terrible. It is as slow as a snail while burning a movie and it doesn't have the ability to fit a standard movie on a standard size DVD. It took well over 90 minutes for it to tell me the file was to big to fit on my DVD and thus, the disk was wasted. It is just not improved enough to be worth the money. I recommend version 6 instead.

Version: Ashampoo Burning Studio 7.1
"Decent Application, not overly exciting... does the job I need"
Pros: Better than the bloat of Nero for basic needs. Primarily use it for Audio where several free apps fail and where one particular application I use does not support one of my burners. This app fills in nicely to make a quick audio cd burn.
Cons: Support does not exist, but most other companys have the same issue (including and especially Nero). I had an issue with a DVD+R not closing and failing on the verifcation when I tried to burn a good data image. The disc was fine (I closed it with another tool and verified it with ImgBurn). It's been over a week since I provided the detail to Ashampoo and nothing.
