NTI CD&DVD-Maker is one of the most complete CD-R software packages available. It's feature set is very similar to better known Nero. The CD-Maker has always been known for it's ease of usage. It features full data, audio, DVD and (S)VCD functions and it has a cover designer software as well. Overburning, multi-session, mixed mode and CD-Extra formats are also there. Included is also FileCD packet writing software.

NTI CD&DVD-Maker has been around for a long time, but for some reason it has not made it's way to a mainstream CD/DVD burning software. The features are there and NTI has always boasted the ease of usage of their software ( see the screenshots). It is definitely a good software package, but I can't see it having an edge over the market leader Nero, but if you are looking for your first CD-burning software, the NTI CD&DVD-Maker is something to check out too before making the buy.
