Vista Forums - View Single Post - dvd burns straight to hard drive not asking for blank dvd

**MilesAhead** · 11-12-2008

Once I made the recovery set I got rid of the OEM burner stuff. I use Imgburn. I bought Nero 6 because back then there wasn't much in the way of freeware for doing conversions(and I didn't know that much about it so I wanted software to take care of the job) but now there's lots of very good quality freeware to convert most anything to DVD. Once you have the DVD image or VIDEO_TS folder authored, just use Imgburn to burn it. btw CDBurnerXP works fine in 32 bit Vista... also freeware. Even converts .flac files. Just drop them on an Audio CD template and it converts 'em.
