SilentNight CD/DVD Authoring Software

[Andavari]

Has anyone tried the donationware SilentNight Micro CD/DVD/ISO/AUDIO Burner?

 

Seems rather impressive from the website details with the total size only being 1187 kb and it doesn't need to be installed as it's a single .exe file, and doesn't install .dll's, etc.

I have been using this for a while. I keep this on a usb drive and use it at school(for some reason they have a cd burner on their comps but no burning software). I only use it when I was procrastinating and have to turn in a powerpoint or something.

 

I havent had that many issues with it but it has coastered a few discs.(dosent happen very much and could just be the crappy school computers fault.)

 

It has a great interface and works for what I use it for. Although for home use I still use Burn at Once with the DVD burning add on.(a big thanks to you for that one.)

One more thing, here is a site whith a bunch more really really small apps that are just exe files and perfect for usb drives:

I also use portable firefox(great at school and public computers because it stores the history cookies ect on the usb drive).

In case anyone is wondering I have a 1gb lexar jump drive that I got for around $50 on sale at target.

I tried it out, it really won't fit my needs on my WinXP system since it doesn't full erase a CD-RW, and since it doesn't verify the disc once done which I think is very important for data CDs. Also the disc it created causes IsoBuster to crash when I was scanning the disc after completion -- something which has never happend before.

 

However on my Win98 system it may be what I need (I'll have test it to be certain) since the old version of Roxio Easy CD Creator is a bit of a nuisance since it's a resource hog, and from time to time it can't remember the settings I've selected which could end up creating a backup disc without my requirements.

Yeah like I said I havent ever tried any of the advanced features. I just burned a couple .ppt files to a cd. It worked for that though.

RecordNow! Deluxe Dell Edition v6.5.0, it's old but works like a charm and has file verification however it doesn't full erase discs which is why I still use burnatonce only for the task of full erasing discs.
