Sapphire bundles its Radeon X1800 line of cards with Power Director as a burning module. MSI follows a different path, and the Power Producer Version 2 Gold it ships with its card works independently of other programs. It supports the creation of DVDs, VCDs and SVCDs. The integrated Disc Utilities perform tasks such as formatting rewritable media, creating images or copying entire discs.

Power2Go is a full-fledged burning program for files, videos, pictures, and sounds, similar to Nero. It can burn VCD, SVCD and DVD formats as well as mixed mode, data or music CDs.
