DVD Author Plus: Burn High Quality DVDs For Any Player, Clone Existing Disks

There was a time when you had to go out and buy a video camera if you wanted to create a video recording of an event. Nowadays, almost every other handheld device, such as mobile phones, tablets, iPods and laptops, have a camcorder bundled that allows you to take pictures and record high quality videos. Anyone fond of recording videos does not have to buy a separate camera for casual recording. YouTube is the perfect example of how many people record motion using handheld devices and share them with others. Uploading a video on to the internet is a good way to share it with a large number of people. However, if you want a more private audience, burning it onto a DVD is a good option. You can burn a video on a DVD and distribute it to others without the risk of unauthorized people getting their hands on it and watching your precious memories. This way, there is also a lower chance of someone stealing your video and using it as their own. Today, we have an application called DVD Author Plus that allows you to burn DVDs that can be played on any standard DVD player. You can create DVDs containing videos, data, image, create copies of disks and erase disks. Read More

LightMan Writer: Save Important Data By Writing On CDs/DVDs

Even though hard disks of today have huge capacities, they are not reliable for storing important information. A hard disk crash can occur at any time, and it can be quite devastating if there is no backup present. Previously, we have covered some very good applications that allow you to monitor hard disk performance to avoid crashes, such as DiskCheckup, a tool that lets you easily keep a close eye on Drive Info and Smart Info. However, even after all that, a hard disk is still not a safe option to keep your important data safe. One option is for you to buy some cloud storage and upload the data to the cloud, but since saving data online makes it easier for hackers to steal it, saving sensitive information on cloud storage is really risky. A safe option is to save the data on a CD or DVD drive. You can write multiple disks and easily save them in any location you want without the risk of losing the data. LightMan Writer is simple to use application for Windows that allows you to easily write data onto CD and DVD disks. It provides you with multiple options to create different types of CDs and DVDs, such as Data Disc, Audio Disc, Video Disc, Image Disc etc. Read More
