DVD data backup: Nero Express, PowerDVD/Producer, RecordNow
I got an internal DVD burner last summer, LG Super/Multi. I just now
put it into a NexStar DX housing, and connected to a USB 2 port. It shows up in Windows XP Pro as a DVD-RAM Drive HL-DT-ST DVD-RAM GSA- H55N. No driver installation required. The laptop already comes with a "RecordNow! CD&DVD Recording" application, version 7. Bless the sole of whoever installed it (I think). However, the DVD burner also comes with PowerDVD, PowerProducer, Nero Express, and InCD. From surfing, PowerDVD and PowerProducer are for entertainment media, Nero Express is a stripped down OEM version of a retail application, and InCD is for packet writing. I just want to make a data backup of certain portions of my user file space on the hard drive. Would RecordNow be the best option for this? By that, I mean most reliable and straightforward. I also had problem in the past with Easy CD Creator dropping files that had very long names. Would any of the above options be better for long file names? Finally, there are a handful of DVD data burning formats. Which format would be best for compatibility with other drives in other computers? Which of the above software applications support this format? |

Mike Richter, were you born with "Scam Artist" emblazoned on your face? -------------------------------------- http://tinyurl.com/38wte6 (No Mikey S-Lickers have been able to prove ANY of the above ) (is a LIBEL -- despite Mikey claimed to have PROOF of libels!)

I also had problem in the past with Easy CD Creator dropping files that had very long names. Would any of the above options be better for long file names? The "Joliet" file system in versions 4, 5 of RecordNow supports names up to 106 chars. (Nero 6+ calls this "extra-long Joliet".) Don't know if Sonic dropped this support in RecordNow 6+ and supports only up to 64 chars, the 'normal' Joliet limit. (Burn a test file with long names to verify RecordNow 7 still supports 106 char limit.) Nero Express 6+ supports names up to 109 chars by default. So the choice is yours which one to use. Finally, there are a handful of DVD data burning formats. Which format would be best for compatibility with other drives in other computers? Which of the above software applications support this format? Choose "DVD-ROM (ISO)". (That's the default format with Nero Express.) |
