Complete & free disc burning suite
Browse what’s on offer in the latest disc mastering tools and it’s easy to
get lost. Internet telephony, desktop publishing, music creation and video
editing are all very useful in themselves, but can get in the way if all you
want to do is burn a simple audio CD. But now there’s a better way. Ashampoo
Burning Studio 6.5 strips out all the non-essential extras, so that only the
pure disc authoring tools are left, letting you create data, music or even some
video CDs with the minimum of hassle. Don’t assume this “back to basics”
approach means the program is lacking in features, though. The audio CD module
supports all the main file formats, for instance (MP3, WMA, OGG, WAV and FLAC).
It can create MP3 or WMA CDs, too, and rips CDs to WMA with adjustable quality
settings. It’s just as easy to build data CDs, by dragging and dropping the
files you want to save onto Burning Studio 6.6. And the program goes beyond
that with a built-in backup tool, letting you create password-protected
compressed backup files of your data, which it then saves to external or
network drives, as well as CDs, DVDs or even Blu-ray discs. You also get a
movie burning module, ready to create VCD and SVCD discs from scratch, or
regular video DVDs if you have a prepared folder with the necessary VOB, IFO
and BUP files. And the package is completed with a set of useful image-handling
features that let your burn or create ISO, CUE/BIN or ASHDISC files, and a few
other miscellaneous tools (copy discs, erase RW discs and so on). You’ve got
plenty of features, then, but the best part is they’re all free of complex
settings or obscure options, letting you get on with burning quality discs
quickly, easily, and with the minimum of effort.
