Remember that Nero Burning ROM thing that not long ago was a small nice and red program used to burn your CD's ? You just started it, burned and went on with your life. Now I got an .iso file, and realised I don't have Nero. I figured I'd take the latest version. 360+ Mb for the Download alone! Then, it asks for MORE than 2 Gb of free space to install, and takes around 30 minutes to do it!! What on Earth is this world coming to ? My whole WINDOWS XP isn't 2 Gb. What the hell are these Nero people trying to build in my computer, for 2 Gb of my hard drive space?!? Did your favourite programs just become Mutants overnight ? Have they all become Microsoft out there ? This is insane!

InfraRecorder is great. It's an open source project burner that works wonderfull on Windows :) I don't know what you did to get your Nero installation to 2gb though x_x Mine was less than 500mb. Maybe they have added a crap load of adprograms into it lol _

I did nothing, it is 360 Mb to download a TRIAL version, and that unpacks to 2 Gb. THEY did something to it, not I :P Cheers, - hellcord

hey man I thinks there is something wrong I am using nero but don't face problem like this. I advice you there are multiple burning softwares available on net & they are in very small size to download it just search it. Download.com is good site to download whole computer softwares.

Yup! Burning is just a simple task, but Nero includes many add-on or application that may be useless for you and of course for me! Too much hassle I believe.
