I have been using various free CD & DVD burning softwares, but somehow yearned for more familiar and convenient interface just like NERO . And when I found out about this software, I knew that this was the one that I’ve been looking for a long time.
Ashampoo Burning Studio Free 6.61 is Free CD / DVD / Blu-ray Disc burning software. This is a free version according to Download.com (shown below image) but I was not able to find this product on Ashampoo.com website.
You can
Burn files into CD, DVD, Blu-ray disc
Backup files into mutiple CD, DVD, and Blu-ray
Burn music CD from music files such as mp3
Burn DVD , VCD, and SVCD movies
Copy disks
Create or burn disc from image file
Wow, that’s more than what I needed and with the familiar friendly easy-to-use screens!
My search for the free CD/DVD burning software has finally ended.
I have been reading lots of blog articles lately from various GTD (Get things done) and DIY (Do it yourself) websites. I found some of them actually useful for me.
Lifehacker.com is one of the popular GTD/DIY website with the frequent introductions on the nice freeware softwares.
DVD Rip is in fact an AutoHotKey script compiled program by Lifehacker. It can be run without any setup but needs ‘DVD Shrink’ installed prior the execution since it is just a script program that automates the DVD copying process. DVD Shrink is a free software that is able to decrypt and copy most DVD’s.
I have tried and found it very easy and convenient. I think it’s the most convenient FREE DVD copying software. Please visit lifehacker.com for more details.
You need to copy your most precious DVD movie as a backup.
But when you searched the free CD-DVD copy software , most of them are shareware and functions are limited.
This is my tip on how to copy (copy protected ) DVD using Free Software. Be ware, you need to use two separate software to do this and it’s not easy like a commercial software. But not that hard either. You can do it with a little bit of patience.
First get DVDFAB HD Decryptor from http://www.dvdfab.com/free.htm. As the description says, it is a free software that removes copy-protection and copies the DVD data to Hard Disk. You can only use first two menus from the left menu bar. You can copy complete DVD or select specific movie files to copy.
Second, you will need free software to copy local DVD files stored in HD into a blank DVD. I just can’t remember what it was. I will just find it and update it later.
It is called ImgBurn. Once executed, you need to select the Mode=>Build menu to create an ISO file or write files into DVD directly.
