>>> Description
>>> ===========
>>>
>>> Burn discs of any kind, from Audio CD to High-Definition Video.
>>>
>>> Did you download a high-def burning utility only to find that it does 
>>> not
>>> support your minty
>>>
>>> Blu-Ray burner? Got a message saying "Your disc burner is not supported,
>>> please update the
>>>
>>> driver"? StarBurn works with all CD, DVD and HD burning hardware with no
>>> issues, and
>>>
>>> supports all optical disc formats from legacy Audio CD to brand-new
>>> Blu-Ray and HD-DVD
>>>
>>> discs. Of course, you can burn a data CD, a single or double-layer DVD
>>> video or data disc
>>>
>>> just as easily!
>>>
>>> Ever had a bunch of MP3s, but couldn't figure how to make a proper CD to
>>> play back in your
>>>
>>> car? Make an Audio CD from WAV, MP3, WMA, OGG, ASF or WMV files from
>>> within a single
>>>
>>> application. Make a Video CD, Super VCD or even a DVD video from a movie
>>> in almost any video
>>>
>>> format from the very same application. Burning data CDs and DVDs is
>>> equally easy no matter
>>>
>>> what you store. Erase or rewrite CD-RW discs, create double-layer DVDs
>>> and
>>> perform just
>>>
>>> about any burning task with StarBurn.
>>>
>>> Burning a disc is now extremely simple thanks to the StarBurn new
>>> wizard-style interface.
>>>
>>> Feel a little more advanced? Try the Power GUI that allows you to
>>> fine-tune your discs and
>>>
>>> adjust burning properties. Want to fit more on a CD or DVD than the
>>> standard allows?
>>>
>>> Increase your storage capacity safely and easily with StarBurn's Power
>>> GUI
>>> by adjusting the
>>>
>>> Overburn!
>>>
>>> Did you ever wonder what's inside that ISO file? ISO files are disc
>>> images
>>> that contain
>>>
>>> information about the entire CD or DVD disc. Until now, your only choice
>>> to see what's there
>>>
>>> would be burning the image onto a blank media. StarBurn conveniently
>>> mounts the ISO image
>>>
>>> and creates a separate drive letter, allowing you to work with the image
>>> as if it was a real
>>>
>>> disc inserted into your CD/DVD drive - yet without actually burning
>>> anything! No need to
>>>
>>> waste blank media, and no more waiting till the burning finishes - just
>>> mount an image with
>>>
>>> StarBurn, and you're ready to roll.
>>>
>>> System Requirements
>>> ==================
>>> * Windows XP SP2 (Windows Vista recommended)
>>>
>>> * 800 MHz Intel Pentium III class processor (2+ GHz Intel Core2 Duo
>>> recommended)
>>>
>>> * 512 MB of RAM (2+ GB of RAM recommended)
>>>
>>> * 30 MB of free hard disk space for StarBurn application data
>>>
>>> * CD/DVD drive (Blu-Ray or HD-DVD burner recommended)
>>>
>>> * Fast Ethernet connection for network burning (GbE or 10 GbE connection
>>> recommended)
>>>
>>> Installation and Setup
>>> =====================
>>> To install the program please download and run the installation package
>>> and follow the
>>>
>>> instructions of the wizard.
>>>
>>> Version History
>>> ===============
>>> November 30, 2007 (Version 9.0)
>>> December 28, 2007 (Version 9.5)
>>> January 21, 2008 (Version 9.8)
>>> March 20, 2008 (Version 10.0)
>>> October 20, 2008 (Version 10.5)
>>> December 30, 2008 (Version 11)
>>>
>>> ........ OK so it is obvious that many just go CLICK CLICK CLICK without
>>> ever reading, then
>>>
>>> ask useless questions or complain about a FREE program because of their
>>> lack of
>>>
>>> understanding of the capabilities because they can't take a minute 
>>> before
>>> inserting
>>>
>>> something in their OS.
>>>
>>> You did your best GAOTD but it seems futile - people just don't take it
>>> as
>>> their
>>>
>>> responsibility to manage their PCs anymore.
>>> ........ and Thank you, GAOTD......
