Good All-Around Burner - the hosting dude, May 30, 2005

If you're looking for an all-around application that can burn different kinds of CDs, NTI CD-Maker Pro should be on your list of applications to consider. Use it to make both data and music CDs; in either case, the process is very easy. Simply drag the files you want from your hard drive and drop them onto the pane showing the CD contents. A bar along the bottom of the screen gives an idea of how much of a CD's available capacity will be taken up with the data you want to copy.

NTI CD-Maker Pro is also able to copy disks, which is great if you have a data backup disk and feel safest with more than one copy of it, or an archive of important photographs you want to share with family and friends. If you are keen on music, you will definitely appreciate the ability to convert between MP3 and WAV files. The software also comes with a component for designing CD labels and inserts for cases, so your creations can be presented professionally, which is great for wedding photo and video CDs.

With CD writers increasingly part of the layout of new PCs, no home is complete without software to assist in CD production. NTI CD-Maker Pro is very easy to use (you can literally start to create your own CDs within minutes of installing the software) and is versatile enough to keep most home users happy.

NTI CD-Maker Pro 6 safeguards, organizes, and shares all of your files with an easy-to-use CD-burning solution. Store your data files, organize digital photos, create a video library, add to your music collection; whatever the task, this software makes burning audio, data, and video CDs as easy as saving a file. You can even record and burn in real time. NTI CD-Maker turns your CD burner into a live audio recorder, letting you burn your composition while you perform!

The program also transforms any video file into a Super Video CD that can be played back on your computer or on most DVD players--perfect for home movies. Preserve and organize your photos by transferring these memorable moments to CD. Compile your own audio collections: you can turn any CD track into an MP3 track, or save MP3s to an audio CD. This handy program even adds music filters so you can optimize sound quality.

NTI CD-Maker Pro 6 offers a step-by-step interface, and it automatically selects the correct writing method for fast, reliable, and accurate CD duplication. Create a combination of CD-ROM and audio CD files on the same disc. Burn audio CDs using popular file formats, including MP3, WAV, and WMA. On-the-fly MP3 encoding and decoding.

gold versus platinum? - Giovanni Donati, Jul 18, 2003

I used the NTI cd maker gold for some time and all I have to say is that it created more problems than burns. I found especially annoying the "smart choice" option that the software prompts you to everytime you try to burn a media: the program asks you (in practice forces you most of the times) to 'burn' to a temporary file on the HD instead of performing a physical burn if your data are less than the media (CD/DVD) size (ie burn 1Gb data on a DVD ended into 1Gb of HD space and a blank media). I am probably too dumb to avoid this "smart choices" or to tampering around the few setting options to avoid them. So you may end up with a blank media, being also asked to create a label for it(how dumb is that?!?), wasted time and HD space. if this is the NTI "Gold", it didn't convince me to buy the NTI Platinum. I got the roxio easycd/dvd creator and tada, my burned dvd.

Nero had me burned - polydegmon, Apr 03, 2003

I needed something that would handle SVCD better than Roxio and everyone and their brother directed me to Nero. Nero made me a coaster for every two good burns. So I downloaded six other software trials from the web and ran the month out on each of them. Within two days of using version 6 of NTI CD Maker I had deleted all other burners on my machine and ordered the serial number. Absurdly easy interface, extremely stable operation even on an old machine (P500 with a 8x burner running win98) and an inital software conflict was resolved by the program's installation interface. I have no idea why this isn't famous. Buy it and love it.
