cd labels

Installation is too nagging. If you have other software in that category, you may not be able to use it after installing total burn. Keep that in mind.

Once on, it's nice. I used their dvd maker to learn how to use Pinnacle Studio 8.
You can link avi's to make one big file, but it likes to keep the opening & ending fades. I'd use another program for that if you can. But I have had some good results with it.

Making Data dvd isn't bad, just have the right dvd for your burner. Sometimes it's an issue with cd burners, but that's so common any longer, most house brands work. DVD's are a bit different.
The make a label software is only good if you haven't anything else. If you Print Master or Shop, then you have a better program already.
Oh, Total doesn't like Avery's After Burner software. Just a tip.

Overall, for one package deal, it's worth thirty bucks, more or less.

I bought it because I trust the Broderbund name. It does not run on my Win98SE machine with a Sony DRU500 drive. It BSODs at the bootup of windows because a Broderbund/TotalBurn .VXD is incorrect for my system. Win98 users beware. Because I did not real research before purchasing, I only discovered the feature set after I'd boughten the package. This Totalburn package does not have the features a power user needs.

Nero.com has their demo for Nero 5.5. I am going to try that out.
