Burning (Read 12863 times)

Can anyone recomend some decent CD-burning software i can get free of t'internet? - the stuff i've got on my work machine (roxio EasyCD creator5) sucks a big fat sweaty dick - has just fucked up on 2 attempts to write a CD, thus wasting 2 CDs and not giving me a decent reason why. :evil: cheers

Are you using decent discs - don't bother with the very cheap ones, they're a waste of time.

An easy one to use is NTI Cd-Maker which is a free trial, and then can be "modified" later if you know what I mean :wink:

Another is Nero, but not as user-friendly....

dave · January 17, 2003, 02:14:49 pm

They are TDK ones, so no, not the 500-for-ten-bob ones on a stack. I did one the other day and it was fine.

I have a cracked copy of Nero 5 which I think is pretty good... I could er, make it available on one of my servers when I get home?

dave · January 17, 2003, 02:41:01 pm

Not to worry, i think my administrator rights have changed so i'll have to get that sorted before i can go installing owt again. Fuckin bastards.

Bubba · January 17, 2003, 02:41:29 pm

I did actually meet somebody once who actually paid for all of their software. Poor thing.

Naah mate, they'll have been winding you up. Noone pays for software. do they?

Bubba · January 17, 2003, 02:52:56 pm

They were very nice, but a devout Christian and so dodgy software probably contravened a commandment or something....

Got this heap to work now, so does any o' you muthaz know where i can find a crack/serial key for this? Cheers.

Bubba · January 30, 2003, 05:51:25 pm

You'd do worse than to have a look at astalavista and I'm sure you'll find what you're looking for....

Downloaded the Nero from the www.nero.com (which is demo version) other night.. then get yourself a keygen and it will provide you a serial number is readily for you to copy it onto Nero's registration serial number

Then it become FULL version ! God I love warez

dobbin · January 31, 2003, 09:04:02 am

Have a butchers at CRACKS.am, if you can cope with the 'Enlarge your Penis' banners (BUBBA - NO! Put your mouse down dammit) then its a crackin crack site. :D

Avoiding the Traitor · January 31, 2003, 09:47:00 am

I am quite tempted to click on that banner.

Bubba · January 31, 2003, 09:53:09 am

Warez are a disgrace, and I couldn't possible ever condone them :wink:

Apparantly some people do actually buy software though, which is odd given how easy it is not to.

A word of advice though, the occasional nasty crack will rear it's head and attempt to trash your system or give you a nice little trojan or something so it's probably worth testing things out on a non-critical pc first...

Avoiding the Traitor · January 31, 2003, 10:18:17 am

And this is another good site

Bubba · January 31, 2003, 10:26:01 am

Try the one I posted above (astalavista.com) - it acts as a wrapper to many sites, including the astalavista.box.sk

Also, try searching on google groups for good results.

i could possibly find a copy of a nice cracked version of kazza to e mail people if they thought they might find it useful (no tojans or spyware etc on it)

Bubba · February 03, 2003, 07:51:22 am

Or use winmx which AFAIK spyware free anyway....

dave · February 03, 2003, 03:19:39 pm

I couldn't glean anything from the above links, they were giving me all sorts of trojans etc.

Bubba · February 03, 2003, 03:24:15 pm

How do you know there were trojans involved? I worry that I pick them up too often, but most of the time, stuff from the above is ok.

The link that dobbin posted is usually fine and one I've used a lot in the past.

dave · February 03, 2003, 03:46:19 pm

Theres loads of antivirus software on my machine which tends to kick-off when i go anywhere near downloading owt usefull, but its probably being overcautious.

Bubba · February 03, 2003, 03:49:23 pm

A clever trojan will bypass your antivirus/firewall. I think sometimes a network monitor is the only way to see them, but I'm no expert.

The other thing that often works (but not with the more clever software) is to just get a utility (such as "beyondo") that will change your system clock for a few seconds while you start the app. This will often fool a time-limit trial version check. Apparantly. I'd never do this of course.

dobbin · February 03, 2003, 04:12:29 pm

Very much depends upon the nature of the trojan. I tend to regularly scan my own ports to see if any have mysteriously become opened, get the port banners down and 9/10 times it'll even tell you the name and version of the trojan. Nice.

james · February 03, 2003, 05:06:21 pm

I have just got the keygen for NTI Cdmaker platinum version 6 off CRACKS.am but when I try to use the generated serial number it says "invalid valid serial number". Do I have to just keep generating them and hope one works or is there a problem.
Cheers
