CD-R writing units go hand in hand with CD cutting software, and I find it difficult to discuss one without the other. I use Personal Scribe version 1.11A software, a DOS only package, but very easy to use. Like most packages, it cuts 550MB in 30 minutes flat. I have tried Tempra CD Producer , a Windows package from Tempra Infoscience. I must say I was not impressed at all! The current version still insists on creating a virtual image file or your data. This results in double the work and took 95 minutes to cut a 500MB CD! I have heard but have not tried CD-GEN which is said to be very good. I would like to ask CDROM-l members to give their reviews/impressions of the cd-cutting software they are using .
