Ashampoo Burning Studio 12 Editor's Review

With dropping price of external storage devices and USB pen drives, the usage of optical disc has reduced to an extent. However, that does not necessarily mean people have stopped burning DVDs and Blu -Ray discs! There are still millions of PC users who need to back up their data on optical discs or need to burn movies and music collection on discs. However, for occasional disc burning and backups, you need not invest in costly and resource hogging apps like Nero or Roxio Creator. There are a number of cheaper contenders that perform quite well for moderate burning needs. One such instance is Ashampoo Burning Studio. The app, now in its 12th iteration, comes with a user friendly interface and does not burden the wallet much.

Ashampoo Burning Studio is a commercial app but comes with a 14 day trial period as well. The versatile optical burning and multimedia app comes with a modest download size. The installation does not involve too many steps and once you select the language the wizard kicks in. However, ensure you choose the custom install option if you do not want the app to alter your default search engine and add a toolbar in browser. It can be installed on Windows XP and later editions. You will need administrator privileges to install this multilingual app though. Installing Microsoft .NET 4 framework is required if you want to use the app’s compact mode.

When you launch Ashampoo Burning Studio, you will be greeted with a sleek blue and white interface. The interface is a joy to navigate and even beginners will not need much time to understand the nuances. You can find most of the options without too much effort and yet the interface does not look cluttered. Users can also change default color theme of the interface, which is cool. The app is petty responsive and unless you have a dated PC, launch startup timing and burning speed will not be an issue.

Using the app is straightforward for any burning task. You can use the explorer within the app interface to add files that need to be burnt for any project. Apart from creating data discs, you can rely on this app for handling video files. It helps create video discs perfectly with menus and templates. The compact mode works seamlessly and you cans witch between two modes with a key toggle. However, the number of functionalities is fewer in compact mode.

Disc Spanning and making discs with autostart menu is simple with this app. Same can be said about the Backup + Restore and movie plus slideshow options. Ashampoo Burning Studio adds one music file at a time but leaves browser window open after addition which is handy. One notable feature of this app is it enables you to add specific equalizer settings to each audio track. You will be hard pressed to find this feature in a number of costlier disc burning apps. The app supports audio formats like mp3, WMA and WAV. It does come with a video editor, which is not as feature rich as Nero vision but gets basic things done without much hassles.

The app is intuitive but does not disappoint advanced users as well. Those into burning lots of ISO images can utilize its disc mage burning options. While the tweaking options are not as elaborate as those of Nero, there is not much to grudge about. The app also comes with options to make customized disc covers. It also supports Lightscribe disc burning technology but you will need a Lightscribe compliant burner for that. You can also choose to password protect your discs.

While Ashampoo Burning Studio does offer plenty of features at an attractive price point, seasoned users may fret about certain omissions. The app cannot playback commercial Blu-ray discs. Those who want to copy a disc with copy protection implemented will be disheartened as well.

Positive Points:
• Intuitive interface, easy learning curve.
• Decent all round performance, speedy operation.
• Per track equalizer for music CDs.
• Priced reasonably, wide OS support.

Negative Points:
• Cannot play Commercial Blu Ray discs.
• Cannot copy discs that are copy protected.
• Default installation changes search engine and adds toolbar.
• Compact mode is barebones.
    
Conclusion:
Overall, there is not much that goes against Ashampoo Burning Studio. The app costs a fraction of what popular disc burning apps will cost you yet offers enough features for beginners to moderate users. The interface is a breeze to use and even a first timer can master the nuances within a short time. Tasks like data copying, audio CD creation and disc spanning can be performed without any problem. However, the small niggles like restricted compact mode and inability to play commercial Blu Ray discs may ruffle demanding users. It is a little annoying that the app tries to bundle in toolbars and modifies browser settings in default installation mode. If you can live with these small glitches and want an all rounder disc burning app at reasonable price range, Ashampoo Burning Studio can be a perfect choice.
