DVDs, VCDs, and other physical storage media are still widely used despite the arrival of cloud storage and USB and other devices.
Ashampoo Burning Studio 2021 is a complete program with all you need to satisfy your burning needs.
First of all, the program has data, audio, and video burning options. Each of them has its own sub-options; for example, the audio feature allows you to create a conventional audio CD; an MP3 disk, copy audio files onto a disk, or rip an existing CD. With the video option, you can create DVD, Blu-Ray, VCD and s-VCD disks.
The program also lets you make an exact copy of a disk, create or open disk images, and create backups of storage media. It also has several advanced functions, such as erasing a rewritable disk, use advanced settings to create a data disk, and others.
A drawback I found was that the program does not allow using files in certain formats, For example, I tried to create a VCD using AVI files, but it only admits the use of MPEG files.
Nevertheless, maybe the biggest disadvantage is that disks are less and less used to store data and media files, and thus, this program can become obsolete very soon.
If you still use disks to store data, music, or movies, then this free program can be useful for you.
Pros
- The program is free to download and use
- Features almost every function needed to burn different media
Cons
- Disks are becoming obsolete, so the same may happen with the program
- Some features don't support certain formats
- The interface is kind of dull
