All reviews for CDRDAO

1 reviews, Showing 1 to 1 reviews


CDRDAO is the open source CD burning project. Although the command line tools themselves are somewhat difficult to use, there are now numerous GUIs for this program.

As a burning app, it is actually pretty well featured, but there are some significant limitations. Although it supports essentially all new internal IDE CD-RW drives (through MMC-3 instructions), it does not support ANY external drives (be it USB or Firewire). With external drives being increasing popular, this is a serious limitation. This problem is mostly due to the fact that CDRDAO does not contain its own ASPI drivers and on the Windows platform, relies on the Adaptec set --> if installed properly (which too can be problematic) it works great with internal drives but not with external.

Furthermore, CDRDAO only burns two image formats, namely CUE/BIN and the TOC format. Although I'm not entirely sure, I'm fairly certain that it may not be able to burn multisession discs (e.g., CD-Extra).

However, it is free and you can't ask much more than that. If the developers of CDRDAO could make it independent of 3rd party ASPI layers, it would be an enormous boost.

Using a GUI like VCDEasy or XDuplicator under Windows is highly recommended.
