Sonic DVDit! and other DVD software

[curious]

Archived from groups: alt.sys.pc-clone.dell (More info?)

I am planning to buy a Dell with a DVD burner. The configuration
shows two options, with and without Sonic DVDit!

16X DVD+/-RW w/ Sonic RecordNow! Deluxe plus, CyberLink PowerDVD [add
$70 or $1/month]

16X DVD+/-RW w/ Sonic RecordNow! Deluxe,Sonic DVDit! SE,CyberLink
PowerDVD [add $120 or $3/month]

Is it worth the extra $50 for DVDit!? I plan on using the DVD writer
for both backing up data and burning the occasional downloaded video
(Divx, mpg) to play on a set top DVD player.

Or to put it another way, what's the difference between Sonic
RecordNow! Deluxe, Sonic DVDit! and CyberLink PowerDVD? Do I need all
three?

Thanks,

Curious Buyer

What I did was buy an OEM version of Nero 6 Ultra (got it free-and paid
$7 s&h) upgraded at the Nero site to 6.6 and paid $25 to unlock the DVD
and SVCD capture (plug-in).

I would go to ebay and get NERO 6 for next to nothing....

I got mime for about $10.00 shipped, it was the latest (at the time) OEM
version Nero 6.6.0.8, didn't have to pay anything to unlock a plug-in....

Sonic RecordNow! Deluxe is CD authoring software
Sonic DVDit! is DVD authoring software
CyberLink PowerDVD is DVD playing software

Nero is my favorite Windows cd/dvd recording software. I'm not sure what
the legality is with buying the OEM version by itself, but honestly its
good software and worth the price.

Brad, the OEM version will not capture to DVD without the plug-in.
You can burn DVDs...but Nero VisionExpress 3 is not fully functional.
