Vista - DVD Burning Software

Hello.

I bought a new LG Double Layer DVD Burner with Lightscribe. Vista does not
allow me to install the software bundle (Nero 6 and Cyberlink Power DVD)
that came with the drive. (FYI: I have disabled the UAC in my Vista). I
checked Nero, they don't have an update for Vista. None at Cyberlink
either.

I want to be able to burn DVD's and CD's with Vista. There are five Fedora
6 .ISO CD image files waiting to be burned.

Does anyone know if Vista Ultimate can burn .iso image files to CD without
installing any other DVD/CD burning software?

Hi

Nero 6 will not work with Vista, you need the latest Nero 7 v7.8.0.5
available as an update from their website.

Windows Vista has CD/DVD burning built in but will not burn ISO, you will
either need Nero 7 or a standalone IMG Burn package of which some are free,
personally we use Nero 7 so I am unable to advise on others.

I hope this helps.

Regards
Stuart

Does Nero 6 have to be installed before one can upgrade to Nero 7? If not,
that's fine. Otherwise, it looks like a catch-22 situation.

One of the most fundamental tasks when it comes to burning CD/DVD is to be
able to burn from an ISO. How did Microsoft manage to miss this one? Why
does Microsoft continue to include half-baked software with its operating
system?

Thanks for any input. Many Windows users are interested in exploring
GNU/Linux and those distros usually come as free downloadable ISO files.

Cheers.

One option would be to boot something like a knoppix Live CD with the
'toram' option - this loads the OS and utilities to ram leaving the dvd
unit freed up.

Just so you have more choices, Easy CD Creator 9 (Roxio) also works
well with Vista, except for their drag to disk applet, which is easly
defeated with a patch. It only causes a nag screen anyway, no real
harm and all due to some KB patch that fixes other software, but
partially breaks Easy 9 in this minor regard. Go figure.

No, you can just obtain Nero 7. Note that you will need to BUY this as this
is not an update, it's a whole new version.

Noted your comments about ISO burning, true, although there are enough
freeware alternatives to not really make it an issue (ImgBurn 2.3.0.0 at
http://www.imgburn.com).

I'm one of them. At work, we are a Microsoft shop when it comes
to workstations, Mail Exchange, Browsing, etc. But our business apps
are running on Mid-Range systems. Lately, we migrated our database
to Oracle 10-g in a RAC environment. The servers are are running on
RHL Enterprise (Red Hat Linux).

I home-built a new system with a Dual Core CPU, 2GB DDR2 mem
for Vista Ultimate I'm trying out. New workstations and Laptops that
we buy at work now come with Vista so I have to learn the new Vista
OS.

On the other hand, I want to learn Linux so I downloaded the ISO
images from Fedora to install in another system I'm going to build - just
to familiarize myself with Linux.

Free ImgBurn burns IOS exceptionally well under Vista.

Nero 6 does work under Vista (I use it regularly). Some of the support
programs don't, e.g. Nero Express, won't work. However, Nero Burning ROM
(the primary burning software) works just fine.

Nero Burning ROM 6 will, of course, handle ISO images and works fine under
Vista.

Any tricks to installing it?
