Burning Software Preference? Nero or Sonic?

What is your preference for dvd burning software? Nero or Sonic MyDVD? I
have both but I'm curious which one you like better.
Thanks!

I use Ulead Movie Factory but have used both the programs you are asking
about.
MyDVD is easier to use but gives less options and control over the final
product.
Nero is a bit more intimidating to use but offers far more flexibility in
menuing (if that's a word) and the final result is much more professional
looking.
So I guess "which is better" depends on the point of view and technical
skills of the user.

Roxio Easy Media Creator 7.5! Like the others,...there is a brief learning
curve, but the later 2 versions ...7 and 7.5 are reliable and comprehensive
media programs.
Chaptering with the DVD app is easy and I experience virtually no bad discs
after version six. Although the package offers Video Wave ver 7 for editing
video, I still use WMMII because of it's ease of use. Nero, Sonic ...Or
Roxio!?

I've got ULEAD and NERO. They both are easy to use. NERO takes just a little
longer to use, but the features are far better. Also, ULEAD takes longer to
encode and complete, and it gives me a few more Cup Coasters (errors on
discs). NERO's encoder is a little faster and very few errors.
I want to try Premier Elements, I hear it rocks!

Oh, SONIC sux IMHO, tried it for a long while. Yuck.

Is this with Movie Factory 3 or one of the other Ulead DVD products?
I only ask because it's been my experience with MF3 that it encodes/burns
much much faster than Nero and I have never made a coaster with it.

Like many people, I have tried at least 6+ different popular apps. I really
like the ease, power, compatibility, and completeness of the Full NERO 6.x
Suite, which includes the Nero Buring ROM app, Nero VisionExpress 3, and
more. Also, if you get the DVD plugin for recoding, you can take an 8+ gig
double sided DVD and it does a great job of high quality compression to make
it fit on a single sided 4 gig DVDR. On most DVDs I can't see any real
quality difference between the 2. Tiny tiny difference. But extremely clear
and clean.

I have Roxio Media Creator 7 and MySonic at work and I can't stand them. And
I haven't been able to do as much DVD stuff as I can with Nero. I seem to
always run into complications with them. Not sure what the cheapest solution
is. Ulead DVD factory 3 I liked as well and also had good luck with it.

I have done some recoding using DVD Shrink (calm down, only for backup
purposes on my more expensive DVD's) and I agree there is minimal quality
loss mostly because the major compression is done to the menus, adds, and
extras that come on a DVD.

Where do you get the Nero DVD plugin for recording?
I have Nero 6, but can't burn my videos to DVD with it.

First I have to say that I have Sonic DVD for Photo Story 3 for Windows.
The thread points me towards http://www.windowsphotostory.com/ which says,
“The downloadable plug-in is fast and easy to install and automatically
integrates with the existing Photo Story 3 wizard, appearing as one of the
options in the Photo Story 3. Activities list box. A simple dialog box
allows users to title their DVD and set record options.
Well, I can not work out how its integrated with Photo Story 3 and I can see
no dialog box which allows users to title their DVD and set record options.
When I go into properties of the Icon which appeaered when I downloaded Sonic
it reads "DVDforPhotostory.exe" Any way I dont seem able to make the Photo
Story 3 file do anything so what have I done wrong or have I misunderstood
what you have said?

=================================
Did you actually install the Sonic software or
did you just download it to your desktop?

Firstly I have to say that I am not technically experienced so please bear
with me. I certainly went through what I thought was a download process the
end result of which is the Icon is on the Desktop and is as as follows.

When I click onto the Icon it states, “DVD for PhotoStory.EXEâ€

When I go into Properties the first line states,
â€DVDforPhotostory.exeâ€

The size is, “15.7 MB (16,551,936 bytes)â€

When I open up Version it states,â€
Sonic DVD for Photo Story 3 for Windowsâ€

Compatibility states,
“Windows 95†If I place a tick in the box provided against, “Run this
programme in capability mode it offers, Windows98/Windows ME-Windows
4.Service pack 5 and Windows 2000. I have Windows XP

I had just finished typing the paragraph above when I thought that I would
see what would happen if I changed the compatability to Windows 2000 and I
did. I then attempted to burn the file again and it actually worked so I
took it to the TV and there it was, a few shots from a journey that I
recently made round the Scotish Coast so I am overjoyed that I have finally
worked out how to creat a DVD which capturers the photographs that I want.
Obviously I have a lot more to learn. All that remains is to thank you for
all your help.
