CDR Tools Front End for Windows

User Reviews

• Almost great

  MachtynMay 5, 2010

  Pros

  Contains almost every single option that the CDRTools files have available. It includes the mkisofs utility as well.

  Cons

  Does not utilize the very latest in CDRTools, particularly DVD Authoring. While the DVD Authoring in CDRTools is still a little buggy, that's what I was looking for.

  Summary

  If reading the help from cdrtools.exe --help is difficult, this program helps organize the myriad of options.

• Very power tool that also allows the creation of ISO files

  westley52February 29, 2008

  Pros

  Very good tool that easy to use for anyone fairly technical literate. This is a great way to create ISO files for free in Windows

  Cons

  None that I can think of

• Burns Beautifully! Not for begginers though!

  naff47November 21, 2007

  Pros

  Fast burning<p>Looks nice<p>Easy to use<p>Burns data<p>Burns to CD-RW<p>Burns mixed data (data and audio on 1 CD)<p>Extracts audio from CD<p>Burns data FROM ISO's

  Cons

  The only thing not to like about this software is that they have not given the option to burn data, as data, instead of using an ISO. Which was easy and obvious for me, but for the less skilled, this is a very difficult and time-consuming task because the user will need to create their own ISO's using ISO software.

• Easy to use, no hitches

  gtackettJune 26, 2007

  Pros

  I burn a lot of CDs on Windows to be read on HP's VMS operating system. This is one of the few tools that can quickly and easily create iso CDs with valid (and full length) VMS file and directory names.

  Cons

  The help files that came with my copy didn't install correctly. There were no errors during install, but when I clicked on "help" I got a 404 Not Found error. A Windows help index did appear but nothing happened when I clicked on its contents.

• If you've got 2 brain cells to rub together, Look no further to Burn CDs

  jdfieldsFebruary 22, 2006

  Pros

  I have a Samsung ($10) surplus CDR recorder on my old Pentium 300Mhz. <p>I installed this and burned a CD in 5 minutes! Installation was totally automatic. The user interface is simple as pie. Best of all, it's free!

  Cons

  If you're a total technophobe, go ahead and spend lots of money for handholding from Dorksquad and M$ (or whomever), just to record a CD. For the rest of us, GNU GPL software like CdrTools is heaven sent.

• loved it

  switch50December 31, 2005

  Pros

  I've only burned about 3 cd's before, (and found it quite hard to do), but found this easy to install, use, and there's no spyware or other garbage in it. It works great with Win98SE on my Philips DVD/CD burner. I got it cos my copy of Nero Ultra got corrupted, so just wanted some quick way of safeguarding my data. Fantastic - AND FREE :) Perhaps not for an absolute beginner, but there is help, read it carefully, you should manage. You can also do a test run without writing to disk to check you're doing it right.

  Cons

  Only fiddly bit was if i saved the disk as an image first - when i went to write the image to a CD it didn't see it until i went to 'all files' rather than 'image files'. But that's the only quibble.

• Free and Effective, but poor GUI

  cseifert214December 19, 2005

  Pros

  This product was free in price, free from advertising, and performed as promised. Hats off to the developers for making this software freely available to the general public.

  Cons

  The only reason I didn't give the product 5 stars was because of the GUI. Although I was able to quickly get to work, a user new to disc burning software might not know how to proceed.

• Excellent, works on ide drives and rewritable cd's

  widgetApril 28, 2005

  Pros

  i have to agree with all the positive reviews for this software.Excellent! As for the negative feedback, sounds like config problems at thier end , and cdrw software has to access ide drives as though they where scsi drives! does'nt it? My cdrw/dvd is an ide and this software works fine.

  Cons
