It looks so good. A few years ago I would have been great, but nowadays I record very few things on DVD / Blu-Ray. It will still be kept an eye on. Thanks for the article and the recommendation.
Well, it is not necessary to record on a CD / DVD / BluRay, since this application has the option of saving what has been done in .iso format; This is the one that I send to my clients when they send me to weigh photos and videos so that they can be viewed on their computers (and previously on DVD players).
