DVD burning software

madlyn

i want to download nero and DVD shrink, but all the websites i have looked at want to charge me.
where am i going wrong?

You can download a 15 day trial version of Nero from their website here. I think there may be some restrictions as to what you can actually do with the trial though.

what is this softpedia meant to be?

Is everything on there free and is it all the full versions?

You should try 'DVD Fab 5' then 'Handbrake' (Google them). Both are free, and 'DVD Fab 5' is more up-to-date than 'DVD Shrink'.

as someone who used to swear by nero, i can tell you here and now that it is completely unecessary if you're just after simple burning.

deepburner is free (there's a paid version if you want extra features)

it does all the basics you'd likely need - data dvd's/cd's and ISO images as well.

bear in mind that dvd decrypter is technically illegal - i know that lightning uk was hit with a lawsuit over it many years ago. it's still widely available though, and you can also use it in conjunction with dvd shrink to burn iso's as well.

Softpedia is a host to thousands of different programs (Like file hippo and download.com)
I dont think theyre ALL free, but a lot are (It says in the information)

It's a decrypter, but it works with more recent, erm, releases, such as those from the small rodent with the big ears that DVDShrink can't do.
