Great for DVDs, Okay for CDs
I've been using this software for a few weeks now, and I've been very impressed. It's got a very intuitive interface for accessing the various operations such as burning data, music, or video discs. Burning and copying DVDs is a snap! You can leave most of the options at their default settings and everything works great. The software detects the type of media you are...

Stay away! Stay away!
This software sets up a virtual CD/DVD drive on your computer rendering your original CD/DVD drive useless unless you have the software running. Your computer will crash if you put a CD or a DVD in the original drive. This software is BAD, BAD, BAD!!!!!

Major trouble - avoid!,

I bought Instant CD/DVD as a cheap authoring solution and regretted it since installation. The software crashes repeatedly and I have yet to successfully burn a home-movie DVD!I did some checking and found reports on the net and even in Pinnacle's own user forums from other owners experiencing similar problems. Pinnacle have limited drive compatibility lists on their site - at the very least you should check your burner is on it before you even consider purchasing this software. Other owners list issues with XP SP2 also. After flogging this dead horse for 2 months, I have given up, put it down to experience and bought Nero 6.0 instead... and was able to author a movie DVD inside of an hour with no problems!

I've been using this software for a few weeks now, and I've been very impressed. It's got a very intuitive interface for accessing the various operations such as burning data, music, or video discs. Burning and copying DVDs is a snap! You can leave most of the options at their default settings and everything works great. The software detects the type of media you are trying to burn, and sets your burner accordingly. You can also burn a disc image which can be mounted to a virtual DVD drive to test your DVD before burning it to disk. Burning mixed CDs isn't quite as elegant. There is a wizard that guides you through the process, but it's cumbersome if you want to make a mix from several different CDs. You can choose not to use the wizard, but I found the various window panes too cluttered to drag the tracks from the source disc to the destination. On the bright side, copying complete CDs is simple enough. Even with the minor complaint of the CD burning interface, I highly recommend this software package. |
