Advantages: Quick and easy to use

Disadvantages: Not as comprehensive as Nero

If you're really into your storage backup and data retainment, you'll probably have used Nero at least a few times, if not all of the time - they release perhaps the mostly widely known digital storage software on the market, but there's also Roxio, a far smaller company who have been producing their various CD and DVD creators since the early 2000s.

If you're fed up with some of the small glitches in the latest Nero, this is a solid alternative to try out - it's a smaller, more streamlined program than Nero, which is top-loaded with far too many non essential items. As a result, it won't put quite the same dent into your RAM as Nero does. Also, Roxio are clearly well versed in being user-friendly, because this is one of the slickest and most accessible interfaces that I've used recently. In fact, the highly animated and vibrant menus almost make it as though a child could successfully burn a DVD.

Like any self-respecting storage software, it's also loaded with numerous protection mechanisms, ensuring that you very, very rarely endure read-write errors. I've only ever had one disc not burn properly with this program, and that was because the disc itself was faulty.

Although not as comprehensive as Nero in all areas, it's a cheaper, more user-friendly version for those who don't need every possible feature under the moon, and simply want to author some files to a few discs every now and then. For reliable burning and easy access, look no further.

Summary: A good starter kit for storage maniacs!
