That looks like a real good giveaway Tom, although I've no use personally for things like the "network" feature.

Nice post.

Edit: Damn, I just can't resist having a look at it. Downloading now.

I have plenty of rippers and burners myself, so I don't really need it. However, like you Dennis, curiosity might just drive me to have a look at it.

The last time they gave it away I wasn't impressed with it at all, even though it has a high approval rate on GAOTD.

I thought StarBurn 10 was free anyhow (see http://www.rocketdivision.com/download_starburn.html)?

According to the reading on GAOTD they unlocked some features just for GAOTD, those features are of course disabled in the regular download. Absolutely nothing will replace ImgBurn on my system!

I think it was back in March that BurnAware was a giveaway, which used a Starburn engine to do it's thing. If I remember rightly, the problem I had was it maxed out the CPU when burning a DVD. In comparison, Ashampoo can be as low as 10% CPU usage when doing the same thing.

I'm keeping this until I next burn a DVD to see if it does the same thing.

The one thing I would say about this particular version of Starburn, is that if you're new on the web, and don't yet have a lot of free software, this program does it all, and then some. How well it does it I don't know, but I think I'll hang onto it for a while and find out.

If nothing else, it's something to play around with on rainy days, and we're getting a few of those at the moment.

Of course all this is pointless jabber if you missed the time limit, but it will probably come around again.
