Conclusion

Positives:

  • Clean and attractive user interface
  • Very easy to use Projects window
  • Many useful burning related features
  • Blu-Ray Disc, BD-R and BD-RE – Backing up to 25GB discs
  • AVI, WMV to DVD converter
  • Audio converter
  • Relatively inexpensive

 

Negatives:

The only thing that we have found that could be considered a negative is the lack of a “Log File” for the projects available; this would be nice to study should there be any projects that would fail. 

Conclusion:

Let us summarize the most important positive and negative points below:

The easy-to-use and nice looking CheetahDVD Burner comes with most if not all of the tools most users will need to create audio, data, bootable discs, as well as the conversion abilities for home movies to DVD.  Let’s not forget the conversion of Audio files, another nice feature built into Cheetah.   While CheetahDVD Burner does not have all the advanced features found in the “Big Boys” such as Nero and Roxio, the average user will not miss them.  Cheetah’s simplicity and extensive tools and extras make it a nice choice for most burning needs. 

We would like to encourage the author to possibly provide a “Log File” in future releases.

To sum up, this is what we would say:

“CheetahDVD Burner is easy to use and overall a fine and good performing multi-function software to create CD, DVD, movies and music."

How can you make a statement like "Easy on system resources" when you are testing on a PC with 4GB Ram & Core 2 Duo .... How did you measure this? This is not a typical system, and mainstream computers are approximately 2 years old .. and most likely single core, with 512MB Ram. Certainly not C2D-6600 + 4GB ram.

It's not a bad program - it actually is one of maybe 4 that are worth considering, however it is updated every 20 days or so and the new updates always "fix some bugs", so...

:g Excellent review. I had been looking for good burning software with different abilities and onversions. no its not like Roxio etc, but you know what, I had Roxio and the other and this fits my needs PLUS i don't WASTE disc anymore ith errors. It burns it right the first time! I like this software and I use it to burn my audio tracks after I track bounce them from Pro Tools. :g Secondly, yes, he is no a standard pc. I've had Duo core in my house for 2 years now with only 1GIG Ram and I built all my towers. Its not expensive to have the best. So stop omplaining and go spend $90 on a motherboard cpu combo at your local computer store and built it. Its fun, cost effective and fast! (if you do, get a jumperless board).

It will play on dvd players. You are a small minded rookie at this.

When I try the avi,wmv to dvd function. After the decoding video part is completed it gives me this notification that I need the video files codec. It gives 3 options but even after getting those I still convert the files. Even tried wmv files also but still the same error.

to be quite frank... cheetah Shits on other dvd burners. Its so fast. What would take nero or dvdflick a matter of hours takes cheetah a matter of minutes :g and its so simple... it doesn't have loads of steps to go through... the only con I can see.... is that I cant find a way to create menus or chapters.... but that may be just me
