Top Reddit reviews mentioning CD Burner Apps:
Just use ImgBurn.
Edit: a couple of folks have pointed out that ImgBurn is also doing this lately, although it seems to be less dickish about allowing you to turn off the option. There are still other alternatives mentioned below.
There might be something better, but it's what I use - CDBurnerXP.
Why did programs like Nero and Roxio have to make burning disks so fucking complicated? Drop the shit in the box and hit burn, that's all that needs to happen there.
There are a few that are good enough for music management, but they don't seem to sync up with iOS devices as well as iTunes itself does (I'm assuming that's a requirement here).
I'd say give MediaMonkey a look. It seems to be the one with most features (including iOS device syncing) and it's free too. I've used it myself in the past and found it pretty easy to get to grips with.
MediaMonkey is 10x better than iTunes for managing your music library if anyone is interested in an alternative. It's a fine player too. The interface is not quite the eye-candy that apple's products are, but it's pretty great.
I've used this program for years without any spyware problems, you probably got infected from something else. I just upgraded to version 2.5.6.0 which was released early last month. during the install it will ask you to install the ASK.COM tool bar (and to change your homepage and your main search engine) just say no to all that crap and you should be good to go. =) Download
I used MediaMonkey for about 5,000 files. It took me around 3-4 hours to rename all the songs, update ID3 tags, get album art, and move to proper folder. It's time-consuming still, but you only have to do it once. If I trusted the automatic tools a little better, it would have taken even less time.
For the record, it is impossible to pirate a windows ISO. Microsoft makes all of them publicly available for download. It is the license that is or is not legit.
Regardless, all you have to do is burn the ISO to a disk (as an image, not just copying the ISO file to disk). ImgBurn is my disk burning software of choice.
I think you should append to Step 2:
If you don't have a USB drive, you can burn the ISO to a DVD using ImgBurn or other image burning software and then install it using your DVD drive.
Then mods could have their link say "How to Download and Install Windows 7" which would be a little more helpful/descriptive.
Edit: Also a mention that x64 means 64-bit and x86 means 32-bit.
Try using this app for burning (instead of WMP): CDBurnerXP. It’s easy to use, it should work with any audio file (or any file as a matter of fact) and it’s free. I used it for awhile and it worked fine for me. Hopefully it also help you.
MediaMonkey all the way. I use it to rip all my CDs and convert them to FLAC. I organize them with proper tags and file names. I then sync the collection with my iPod, which means that all the songs are automatically converted to mp3s.
The Sansa clip from Sandisk. It has 2, 4, or 8 GB models, plus you can add microSD cards for extra space (so up to 32GB extra for around $50). The sound quality is very good and the DAC and amp are well loved for being such a small device. It supports mp3, Ogg Vorbis, FLAC, and more. It has an FM radio, and EQ settings.
There's also the Cowon D2.
Here's a relatively recent thread with many suggestions.
I've been using media monkey gold for years. Amazing program, plays flac and other loss less codecs, can still sync your apple device. There's a free version that's just as functional! check it out. http://www.mediamonkey.com/
Video CD? Really? What year is this?! =)
For what it's worth, I think Burn will author VCD. It's not been updated in quite some time, but I think still works on modern systems.
Recommend CDBURNERXP or IMGBURN if you're just looking for CD burning capabilities.
MediaMonkey is a full suite for managing your media, so unless you're looking for an iTunes-type replacement it is more than you likely need.
Are you doing this just for archiving or are you wanting to watch the content?
You can either use http://www.imgburn.com/ to make ISO's for complete duplication.
Or http://www.makemkv.com/ if you'd like to be able to play them back in any video player of your choice.
Both options keep the quality, almost, if not completely the same as source I believe.
Windows 8/8.1 does, indeed, have built in support for mounting and burning ISOs. Right-click, "Burn disc image". Done. Not Windows' fault you can't be arsed to join the modern age.
Also: there are TONS of free disc burning programs. Just use Bing or Google or DuckDuckGo or whatever. Further, if you're not burning a pre-made ISO, Windows 7's Windows Explorer can be used as a drag-and-drop to "queue" items to burn, then you just burn it.
Edit: I suppose while I'm here, I could make a recommendation to be 'helpful' or whatever: http://www.imgburn.com/
media monkey. i just throw music in a folder and i tell the program to sort it by artist, then make a subfolder by album and done. you just have to make sure the mp3 tags are accurate. there are scipts that do all kinds of stuff to the tags too.
You would be surprised just how frighteningly powerful MediaMonkey is. Alongside Photoshop and a small handful of games, it's the only reason I still have a Windows partition on my computer.
http://www.mediamonkey.com/ ,works great with syncing ipod and iphone,send me a message if you want the full registered version,you should give t a go,i've been using it for two years,i have 150k songs
Have a look here, big list:
https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Rhythmbox/Plugins/ThirdParty
I've worked on plugins related to tray icons and album covers.
It's been a while since I used RB so I don't know if they work any longer, sorry.
But I believe fossfreedom still works actively on a whole bunch of plugins all the time.
My favorite player in terms of features (and free) is Mediamonkey. You can use Winamp plugins with it afaik. The downside is that it's ugly, so if like me, you care about that, Musicbee seems like the middleground between a full featured musicplayer, and something like foobar which can be very pretty. So Musicbee is what I'm using currently, and I really like it.
sorry for poor formatting, I don't have RES and forgot how to links.
MediaMonkey is hands down the best music library manager on windows. It flawlessly handles my 150k song library with quick startup times and searching. It stores metadata in an sqlite database so you can correct info without altering the files (thus you can still seed). It also supports any plugin that works with winamp.
MediaMonkey is the best thing that ever happened to me.... download now. Also, download CopyTrans for seamless transfers to your iphone/ipad/ipod/etc
I've found MediaMonkey to be very straightforward when it comes to organizing and tagging entire music collections. TuneUp is also very handy if you don't want to put in any effort into fixing up your music collection.
This is how I would do it:
1) Download Poweriso, http://www.poweriso.com/download.htm 2) After you've downloaded it (AND INSTALLED! (Perhaps even rebooted is required, if so, do it.) ), go to the folder, right click AIO.iso 3) Select Poweriso (Should be there) > set the number of units (Rought translation) > Select 1 units (If it's not already set.) 4) Right click again > Poweriso > Mount (name).iso 5) Go to your computer file (Where you can see C:, D: etc) 6) You should see a CD-unit icon besides your DVD unit (If you have one) 7) Double click on it (The AIO.iso) 8) Should now start setup.exe, Install etc.
Or:
7) Right click on the AIO.iso, > Open (The .ISO should now open) 8) Find Setup.exe, or whatever you could use inside of it.
(There is no part where you actually need to open the actual Poweriso program, Just right click > mount and stuff)
Instruction nr. 7 & 8 is not clear, because I didn't personally DL it so I can't make a complete list of how to install it, Sorry, However after this you should get the basic install window to open, and you should be able to make the rest out.
Remember, this is with Poweriso which I personally use, and tend to work, There is aswell Daemon tools and Alcohol 120% which I havn't tried out myself.
Be advised, Alcohol 120% will crash Windows Vista if you're planning on installing it. (I learned this the hard way when I had Vista. /:) (They might have patched this tho)
(Formatting will probably fail, Sorry i'm new to Reddit formatting.)
Also, notice that the description of the torrent says it requires no crack / keygen etc, So you're lucky. If you would need a crack you would replace the game launch file (like sims.exe), You can get more information relating this by googling!
before you wait for someone to send you a disk, why don't you download a .iso from the xubuntu site, or the lubuntu site, and then use imgburn on windows to burn the iso to a disk,
you could have it done today, instead of waiting.
Create an ISO image with Imgburn and use Microsoft's Windows 7 USB/DVD download tool to create a bootable USB installer. You will need at least a 4 gig USB key.
ImgBurn is a free tool to rip the CD into an ISO file. VirtualCloneDrive is a free tool to virtually mount the ISO so the computer thinks it is a CD.
http://www.imgburn.com/ http://www.slysoft.com/en/virtual-clonedrive.html
32gb Cowon S9 is what I use. I had several Cowon X5Ls prior to this one, but I'm glad I upgraded. Lightweight, a beautiful AMOLED screen (seriously, videos look fucking amazing), and no software needed as it acts like a USB drive. The best part? Nearly 50 hours of playtime off a single charge. I literally charge it once every few weeks.
In Ubuntu
apt-get source rhythmbox
will download the source code for Rhythmbox.
If you want to contribute to Rhythmbox you should get the original source code instead. See https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Rhythmbox/Contributing
I've tried this before with an iPod Classic, and honestly installing iTunes is by far the easiest way and induces less headaches. You can do what I do and use iTunes solely for syncing music with your phone but use your player of choice (MediaMonkey for me) for actual playback. You can sync the music using MediaMonkey but you have to install iTunes anyways to get the drivers.
http://www.mediamonkey.com/wiki/index.php/WebHelp:iPod_Synchronization/4.0
you can use media monkey the wiki for how is here Media Monkey is free software that works better than itunes in my opinion and you can use it to sync almost any mp3 player with apple products included.
There's a problem with your argument: Apple doesn't want third-party programs to interact with iOS devices for things like sync. Notice that MediaMonkey has to update its software to support new iOS versions. (Rather, the thing I'm pointing out about that page is that iOS 7 required a MM update.) Also note that the MM instructions need you to keep iTunes installed to work with iOS devices. This is because iTunes installs extra pieces so that the iOS device will accept the connection and sync, rather than just show the computer its photos.
I used foo_dop for a while, back when it was actually being updated. But like the jailbreak I had on my phone, there was a waiting period after every iOS and iTunes update to make sure everything else would work with it. New iTunes updates would break foo_dop, especially if it coincided with a major iOS update. Because Apple was iterating the cat-and-mouse game of blocking off the sync functionality.
There's another, more basic reason, though. foobar2000 isn't designed to be used as a sync hub. If it were, there would be MTP support somewhere, either built-in or as an optional plugin. It's designed to act just as a music player, with or without a library backing it. Sync never entered the picture, and probably won't unless they get the mobile fb2k thing off the ground. I love fb2k to death, and hate iTunes, but I still keep iTunes around for iTunes Match and the music store.
If the files are already tagged and you just want the files to be renamed I recommend MediaMonkey
and of course people will always recommend Tag&Rename
Media Monkey. Does everything Itunes does, and doesn't fuck up your system with Apple crapware. Apple's greed makes Microsoft in the old days look like the Buddha. I was So happy the day I threw away my last Apple device and uninstalled the last scrap of their code. Good riddance. Now I can do stuff like copy text files onto my 16GB portable storage device (something Apple doesn't allow).
This is going to sound like a bit of an advertisement, but I prefer MediaMonkey; CopyTrans and Sharepod are too cumbersome if you don't want to do absolutely everything manually, and Foobar's iPod component is very slow for me.
I don't think that the second one is possible. You can only add a non-steam game to steam for the computer it's on, I think.
The first one is actually very possible, and it's a great idea. Can't believe it didn't occur to me, it's actually how this is supposed to be done.
What you need to do is rip all of the discs as .iso files, then put them on the flash drive, then run the .iso files on your mac. Apparently .cdr files work on Mac too, so if the program I linked makes those (assuming the computer with the burner is a Mac) then that's cool too. I think.
Note that I have almost no experience with Macs. This is what I found by googling. I'm pretty sure it's correct, but if it's not, my bad yo.
For ripping, you'll need a special program. Some computers come with them, otherwise download Imgburn onto the computer with the disc drive if it's a Windows computer. If it's a mac, you can try using Burn instead.
Then once the flash drive is in your mac, follow these instructions.
How did you burn it? If you just burnt the image to a disc through the Finder then it won't work. You need to use Disk Utility or something similar. The best program I've used for burning images is Burn. Under the "Copy" tab, drag the disk image onto the Burn window and click the "Burn" button. It's always worked for me, Linux disk images included.
any reason you are installing XP? It is way past the EOL and has tons of security issues at this point.
I have never tried to make a XP bootable USB, but google turns up a lot of results.
http://www.poweriso.com/tutorials/how-to-make-winxp-bootable-usb-drive.htm
Looks like most of them is from another windows PC, so I hoe you have access to one
Try using the software off this website. http://www.imgburn.com/index.php?act=download Rip it off and get a 'iso' file from the disc. Then you should have a serperate file from the CD on your computer labeled 'blahblahblaevagos.iso'. Then you can take this iso and upload it to a torrent website such as megaupload or thepiratebay. I believe you will have to create an account to upload files. Godspeed!
ImgBurn. Use the mode "Create image file from disc", and save it to a location of your choice.
Incidentally, ImgBurn is one of the best burning programs out there. Everyone should have it installed.
I'd tell him the truth, that it's a tedious and expensive process if he wants it done professionally by hand you would have to charge your hourly rate.
If not he can always try some normalization software, either audicity for free or dbpoweramp can do batch normalization/conversion/apply any VSTs.
http://www.dbpoweramp.com/dmc.htm Although it's called a converter there is nothing to stop you from having WAV in and WAV out and just using the normalization. It can also do stuff like trim leading/ending silence which might be useful too.
Or some kind of hybrid, tell him you'll teach him the process of using dbpoweramp for an hour or so at your hourly rate.
I use DBPowerAmp to convert my FLACS to ALAC rather than converting to MP3. ALAC is otherwise known as apple lossless so your conversion will still be lossless and it will work on Itunes and your IPod.
I use Spotify generally, cmus for local stuff. If you want one that blends well with GNOME 3, Rhythmbox with the alternative-toolbar is probably your best bet.
I used MediaMonkey as a library & tag manager. It'll auto-rename as well, auto-tag from the internet, etc. No idea how it compares to some of the other software listed in here.
Ah, for music. I was thinking about video.
If the metadata is wonky, you're probably going to have trouble getting any media server to handle that well.
If the filename/folder structure is perfect, you might try using MediaMonkey or a similar tool to populate the ID3 tags based on the filename.
Tools > Options > Auto-Tag from Filename
I have a couple Macs and they run iTunes just fine - but then again, I hate iTunes.
If I still had a PC, I would only use MediaMonkey. It's fucking awesome, and it supports ipods / iphones / ipads / iballs / etc.
I use Burn for audio, but I'm pretty sure it will easily copy DVDs. Great little program does all I need.
Edit:
"1 + 1 makes 2.
Allready have discs you like to reproduce. Don't worry, Burn can help you. Burn can copy discs or use disk images to recreate your discs. With one drive Burn still will be able to copy a disc, by temporary saving the disc."
If you can navigate reddit you can rip videos.
First find an online youtube to .mp4 converter like this one. Paste the url of the video and download the .mp4 file.
Then find a free burning software like this one and done.
Most of this stuff can be found pretty easily with a quick google search. Search queries like "youtube to mp4" and "dvd bluray burn software" will get tons of results if you don't want to use the ones I found.
Did you download from the official site, right? http://www.imgburn.com/index.php?act=download
Also, better look for a Win10 ISO to install on that drive, it has better suppport and you'll get more speed.
Turn off your computer. Go and have a cup of tea. Come back and turn it on. That should stop the 'open in another program' error. Your poor old computer may have gotten confused.
Uninstall the programs you have installed. I don't use windows but google will tell you how to do so. If you're having problems, google the error message, or ask me.
Then go download one of these https://cdburnerxp.se/en/home OR http://www.imgburn.com/
Again, I haven't used windows in years so I don't know what all the cool kids are using or if these are supported by Windows 10 but they probably are.
If you're still having problems reply here with some details of what's going wrong.
Do you have any real games to try? Some times even real disks will fail the boot check if the system is having issues.
Try really cleaning the laser pickup lens with a semi-damp cloth.
Use Alcohol 120% or Imgburn software.
Imgburn can be found here free
Also download the add-on at the bottom of the page, Padus .CDI File Mounter v1.0.0.12.
There are two ways: CD or USB.
For CD, do you have any image burning software? I suggest ImgBurn.
From there, burn the image you downloaded to your CD then pop that bad boy into your CD drive and you should be good to go.
For USB, download Rufus. It will create a bootable USB drive. You will need to format your USB drive before use, then specify the image you want to mount. Plug that into a USB port, boot from USB, and you should be good.
Verify you download. This makes sure that the download was sucessful. Burn at a slower speed and verify the disk also. The verification makes sure there were no burning errors.
I recommend ImgBurn.
Yes, but there are many ways to do this, and the processes aren't as refined as with DVD. Also, they're a bit more complex (and quite possibly illegal) due to the copy protection on Bluray discs.
One way is to create a direct copy of the Bluray disc onto your hard drive, that will take 40-50GB for most commercial discs. This will be the easiest and quickest way to do it, but will take the most time.
Another way is to take just the video from the Bluray, and re-encode the video into a more compressed format, usually an mkv file with x264 video encoding. This will take ~15GB per movie, depending on the quality and compression. This re-encode, however, will take a long time, especially on a low-end CPU.
For the first option, I would suggest a program like ImgBurn:
For the second option, LifeHacker has a great guide:
http://lifehacker.com/5559007/the-hassle+free-guide-to-ripping-your-blu+ray-collection
You can use ImgBurn to rip the disc to an ISO on your HDD, and then burn that ISO onto other DVDs. This won't work with copy-protected discs, but will do just fine for everything else.
What you need to do is download the ISO from your school's msdn (e-academy) website. Then you need to burn it onto a dvd with something like ImgBurn and install it onto the machine (with the ssd attached). If you install windows on another machine and just swap the drive, you're going to have a bad time. The reason for this has to do with the Hardware Abstraction Layer. If you don't have a dvd burner use a friend's computer to burn it.
> Got a couple quotes, $90 was the lowest for an OS installation. Thanks for the input, all.
Do it yourself for free if you have a little bit of patience for the download.
Find the license key, which you legally own. This will be on a sticker on the bottom of the laptop.
Download an .iso backup file of whatever your operating system is from a torrent. Use Vertor or torrentz.com to find a verified copy of this backup. Do NOT download a cracked/keygen/etc file.
Burn the backup .iso onto a DVD with ImgBurn
Use that backup DVD to reinstall your OS, using the license key you own.
Re-installing the OS is super super easy. Put in the DVD, boot from CD-ROM, let it load up, select your language, and follow the instructions for installation. It will take about 20 minutes or so.
Please, save yourself the $90!
Official Microsoft Windows 7 USB/DVD Download tool.
You have to start with an ISO. If you have a dvd, you can rip the iso using free software.
If you don't want to bother ripping, you can download the ISO directly, legally, from Microsoft. I'm not going to post the links, as some might see this as encouraging piracy, but they are 100% legit from digital river (Microsoft).
Make a bunch of disc images with ImgBurn, then add them all to Handbrake, which will turn them into video files. I recommend you use the h.264 encoder (good quality), so the file extensions will be mp4 or mkv instead of avi. Just use the "high" preset plus a few custom settings, and you're good to go.
Dual layer DVD. Then use something like ImgBurn to burn it to disc. You do need to mod the Xbox to read the disc (either through flashing the firmware on the drive or something more in depth, depending on the drive you have) and burning with a couple specific settings I don't have off the top of my head.
with the Zune software there was a way to do this, but invariably it would convert to a low quality old version of the WMA codec, often times worse quality.
I've used dbPowerAmp to convert my entire music collection to the latest version of WMA (10 pro) quality based.. you can get ridiculously small sizes with still very good quality. However, it does mean converting your collection, or the parts of it you care about before synching to the phone.
other tools are available to do the same thing.
I second dBpoweramp - if you decide to try a paid option. Simple codec support, batch converters/rippers (multiple files/drives at once), and multithreaded.
I also love how dBp handles meta data - does EAC have good meta data support for consistent/accurate tagging??
I would say having bad hardware is always going to be the main factor, you can mess around with equalizers and sound settings all you like, it just makes it sound better but not good.
The only work around I have ever found is getting the right pair of head phones. As for a direct answer to your question...
Musicolet - really lightweight but feature full. Also ad free. Definitely the best player I have used in recent months.
Blackplayer - Possibly plays the most sound file types on the market. If you have this and VLC I doubt there is a file type you couldn't play tbh. Its also light weight and (the version I used) ad free.
MediaMonkey - not just a music player, but extremely useful functions for music and movies. Its got a couple of in app purchases that you might want, but straight out of the box its really good.
Poweramp - If you have a day free give this a whirl and mess around with the biggest library of sound tweak tools you are likely to find. I think you can also create and save you own templates to apply to music lists and individual sound files. Its heavy on the phones specs, but a really good android sound tool and decent player.
You probably won't find anything that satisfies 2. If you look at how mediamonkey saves ratings in flac files you find they save them in a non-standard way. Those ratings are mediaMonkey only. If it were mp3 files you probably had more luck. So best you can hope for is finding the metadata that saves the ratings with metaflac --list and then writing a convert script yourself.
Yeah, it's pretty easy but It's been a while since I've used it so there now be better options. There are a few ways to auto-tag files and it can pull meta data from file names, folders, or amazon.
http://www.mediamonkey.com/sw/webhelp/frame/index.html?gettingtrackinformationfromtheinternet.htm
This kind of sucks compared to some free Visualization Plug-Ins that exist for music players like Whitecap and Milkdrop
Also, the video game Audiosurf has a built in visualizer mode that's very in tune with every beat in whatever track you choose.
I'd say try MediaMonkey based on those issues. It's been a while (and not a setting I utilised), but I'm fairly sure it gave you the option of either moving or duplicating music files when organising the library, instead of MusicBee's move-only option.
I think MM can also do the playlist update as well, but after deleting songs, I think you have to run a scan for missing tracks, and it would presumably find them. I've never really used playlists, so I'm kinda guessing/googling it myself at this point.
And with the easy backup, I know there's a wiki page for backing up the music database, but beyond that, I think you'll have to manually reset settings; I know everytime I formatted I would have to turn off the desktop popup and a couple of other qwerks I didn't like in the UI.
So yeah, I'd give MM a whirl and see if it works for you, if not, best of luck searching man (or lady).
That's why I use Media Monkey for my music player on my computer. It has a party mode you can turn on and it then prevents modifyng the playlist, changing to any song that is not not on the playlist, and alt-tabbing so you dont get youtube hijacked.
Sounds like your best option would be to get a 3rd HDD that is big enough for ALL your songs (They sell 3TB ones nowadays), copy all of your music to there and re-index it with iTunes. That way you'll have your music library accessible AND backed up which with 100,000 songs is pretty much a necessity.
You could also use a program like MediaMonkey to sort through and delete any duplicates per this article.
I don't know why most everyone is ignoring your +70gb requirement... I found the Archos 5 via PontifexPrimus' link, but it is a bit of overkill for an mp3 player. The Cowon X7 from Zaccus link liiks like the best bet when my 5th Gen ipod dies.
You can use Media Monkey to manage a music library that size and to synch your music from your computer to your mp3 player.
I second this, its auto-organizing feature is great. Select all the tracks you want to organize, right-click auto-organize, then specify how you want the folder hierarchy to be. Get it here Since I download most of my music and don't rip CDs, I don't really have any need to use the gold version, though if you want to rip CDs you might want to consider it, since it's one of the few features in the free version that expires after a while. (I actually buy CDs, but then just torrent the album :p)
MediaMonkey is not only a better all around music player, but also has a script that will literally check all cases of any tracks you select. Are they wrong? Like one click to fix an entire CD. Bam.
I swear by MediaMonkey for music organization because I haven't found anything that comes close in terms of tagging/renaming and (more importantly) moving files to directories based on album/artist.
I'm still searching for the ultimate movie/TV organization tool and I wish MM handled those types of media as well...
- Learn to MediaMonkey
- Don't steal random music. Only buy or steal that which you will actually listen to.
- Take the time to properly tag when you import.
Then you will end up with a nice, beautifully organized library like this.
Couple of plugins/scripts to look into:
Tagging Inconsistencies - Automatically lists tracks with similar but inconsistent naming
- Artist names (e.g. "Miles Davis" & "Davis, Miles"
- Albums with multiple years/genres/artists/etc.
- Many more types of inconsistencies
Advanced Duplicate Find & Fix
- Much better than the default duplicate finder
- Finds duplicate tracks/albums/etc.
MediaMonkey is my go-to for this. It will both:
a) Organize your songs based on id3 tag in whatever hierarchy you choose
and b) Tag your songs based on the folder hierarchy. Can also tag and get album artwork from Amazon.
You can also have it find/delete duplicates, badly-tagged content, etc. As a player, MM is average at best but definitely has the best organization/management I've ever used.
MediaMonkey is the best there is on PC's i think right now. Tons of features. You can rename files based on tags, retag based on filenames, search for albums with missing tracks, check the case and leading zeros of all tags, go to party mode when you don't want people changing tags on your music, run a library of 20,000 songs with minimal resource use, not to mention the hundreds of plugins that exist for MediaMonkey, and the thousands that exist for WinAmp, which work with MediaMonkey. But if you use Linux or Mac i would try Clementine. It's pretty new(only version 0.7) but it looks promising and it's what i use on my linux and mac machine.
Do you mean >120GB? I have a 160GB ipod classic. I'm not really an Apple fan but I can't fault my ipod. I looked around when I was getting it and couldn't find anything that matched it. Also you don't have to use itunes with it. Haven't tried it but I hear http://www.mediamonkey.com/ is good.
If you have Adobe Creative Suite you can use Encore.
Edit: Also, if it's a realy simple DVD that doesn't need chapters or anything then the app Burn might be for you. It's fast and very basic, but it works.
I have been using this for years with no issues;
BURN for burner DVD http://burn-osx.sourceforge.net/Pages/English/home.html
VidConvert for converting/authoring for DVD http://www.reggieashworth.com/vidconvert
1.) Everyone here is gonna say buy it, but I personally couldn't remember the last time I paid for Windows. www.thepiratebay.mn then use the Program Burn to burn it to a 4.7gb DVD R
2.) I'd stick with Windows 7 64Bit, depending on how old the Mac is, you might even have to go 32 bit.
3.) If you open the app Boot Camp on the Mac, all it does is add a partition to the Mac. So all your school stuff will still be there, it'll just be in a small amount of available space.
4.) Yes, you can. All you would do is go back to the Boot Camp app, and remove the partition, and it'll go back to your regular size hard drive.
As for risks, I personally never found any when I was running Boot Camp on my Mac. Feel free to PM me if you need further help.
Try using the open source program 'Burn' instead of Apple's Disk Utility.

I wouldn't be surprised if Disk Utility was just putting that iso file onto the DVD, rather than burning it as that ISO.
You're welcome!
I'm still waiting for my white Saturn (jap) to arrive along with the modchip I've ordered so I honestly don't know what to use to burn bin/cue or MP3/iso/cue images on Mac.
I think Burn will do the job: http://burn-osx.sourceforge.net/Pages/English/home.html
Give it a try and let us know if it works!
iDVD was discontinued over 2 years ago. I recommend looking for a new app to fill this niche. Toast Titanium is a good full featured alternative but costs $80. I use Burn which is a very simple open source alternative. It doesn't have the option to create menus but otherwise does the trick.
That said, give some thought to if you really need to burn DVDs at all. I've found that unless I am giving a copy to a grandparent or something like that, solutions like YouTube, Facebook, Vimeo, or the new (and really cool) iMovie Theater feature built right into iMovie do what I need, and aren't limited to standard definition.
You should be able to burn the mp4 file to the DVD.
All DVD video is transcoded to mpeg-2, and then authored in a Video OBject structure (VOB) of transport Streams (TS files.)
The three apple settings probably has more to do with whether or not analysis time is spent with the files (CBR or VBR) more than how compressed it is.
Do you have the necessary free space on your drive? I figure you have 4 gigs of ram on your system, double that, you need to keep at least 8-10 gigs free...and you'll need about 5 gigs for the DVD, so, do you have 15+ gigs free on your system?
Last: you could also try Burn an open source DVD authoring program. It's free.
Quad channel is much faster than dual channel for ram-heavy applications.
As long as your laptop has a disk drive, yes. How-to link
It has a slightly higher factory overclock and a better cooler.
Like /u/codytheking typed, what did you use to make your USB. Here is a good step by step from PowerISO. This install, which I have used over a hundred times, doesn't do anything out of the ordinary. It will do the standard XP hard drive prep.
How did you create the bootable USB? Maybe the iso itself is corrupt.
Try this.
Download the iso again from this link.
Ensure that you do not have spaces in the File Name of iso if you rename it.
Use Power ISO to create a bootable USB. Go to Tools > Create Bootable USB drive and follow the instructions.
Ensure that you set the mode to AHCI in BIOS when installing Windows.
Let me know how it goes.
You will need to create a bootable USB. Dowenload Power ISO. Go to tools > create bootable USB drive and follow the instructions.
Now in your BIOS set the first boot device as your USB drive, boot into it and do the installation of windows.
A portable HDD is also fine. I use a 40GB HDD from an old laptop which I have converted to an external by adding a casing to it.
You can try creating the bootable media using Power ISO. Go to tools > create bootable USB. remember that all contents of the ext HDD will be erased.
There are various methods/tools to do this. One of them and perhaps the easiest is -
Download and run Power ISO (trial version is fine). Click on Tools > Create bootable USB drive. Point it to the W7 iso and follow the onscreen instructions.
Salut la baguette haha.
So what is your question exactly? Yes it's easy to format a usb key to make it bootable with windows 8 on it. I use PowerISO, it's free :)
Instructions for their website http://www.poweriso.com/tutorials/how-to-make-win7-bootable-usb-drive.htm
"Step1: Create Bootable USB Drive: 1.Start PowerISO (v4.8 or newer version, download here). 2.Insert the USB drive you intend to boot from. 3.Choose the menu "Tools > Create Bootable USB Drive". The "Create Bootable USB Drive" dialog will popup. If you are using Windows Vista or Windows 7 / 8 operating system, you need confirm the UAC dialog to continue. 4.In "Create Bootable USB Drive" dialog, click "..." button to open the iso file of Windows 7 or Windows 8. 1.Select the correct USB drive from the "Destination USB Drive" list if multiple USB drives are connected to the computer. 2.Choose the proper writing method. "USB-HDD" is recommended. 3.Click "Start" button to start creating windows 7 / 8 bootable USB drive.
If no errors occurred in the above process, you should now be all set to setup Windows 7 / 8 from USB drive!"
While I'm not aware of Dreamspark, I assume that you are able to download a Windows 8 ISO and a valid product key (or maybe it does not require activation, I do not know). These are the steps you should follow
Download Win8 ISO on your Win 7 PC.
Download and install trial version of Power ISO. Go to Tools and select 'create a bootable USB' and follow on screen instructions. You will now have a bootable win 8 USB.
Copy your data files from Win7 PC to ext HDD.
Unplug your Win7 HDD and connect the new SSD.
Change boot order in BIOS to boot from USB and install Win8 on SSD.
Reconnect your Win7 HDD and format it.
Simply copying the files to USB will not work. The USB needs to be made bootable. Create it using the microsoft tool as recommnded by u/slacker87. Alternatively, you can use the trial version of Power ISO, select tools and click on 'create bootable USB'. Then follow the onscreen instructions.
I'be used poweriso for a couple years now. I've never tried burning with (don't even know if you can, but it works flawlessly for just mounting .
That said imgburn is also good (i've used it on occasion and never had a problem I couldn't quickly resolve. Poweriso is just my mounted of choice.
