I haven't seen that option anywhere in San Francisco, though I know versions of Nora from 7 onwards have it.

Adobe has that feature in Studio 9, so I'm guessing it's in 10 too.🙂

I've just got Nero 8—only the burning ROM and Nero Express installed, nothing else. It actually pops open faster than Ashampoo (which I have on here too)

With Nero, I've never had an issue with a bad burn, but Ashampoo has let me down before. 🙂

I gotta admit, I've had Nero fail on a burn once or twice, but it was super rare. My main gripe is how sluggish it’s become. Regardless of whether my PC is a potato or not, it’s just slow to launch. And don't even get me started on installing or uninstalling it. Feels like it takes forever. Ashampoo needs a slightly beefier setup—maybe a little more CPU juice—but it runs much snappier.
Nero 8 and 9 feel way too slow, whereas version 7 used to be a pain to uninstall.
Anyway, that's just my take.🙂

There isn't any Ashampoo burning studio 9 listed, but I bet it would crack the top 5, if not the top 13.

So, before I even checked out your replies, I went ahead and installed Ashampoo Burning suite 9. Honestly? I’m with you guys—it beats Nero any day. It’s way more straightforward, doesn't come bloated with all that extra junk, and actually has everything you need for burning. Most importantly, it isn't sluggish like Nero 9 or Nero 8.

Thanks for the input 👍

Hey there!

Can anyone suggest a good alternative to Nero 9? Just like Nero 8, it takes forever to actually open up. I’m looking for a lighter burning suite that won't lag, but still delivers the same quality as Nero.

Thanks!
