A Better CD/DVD Authoring Program

eCs comes with a pretty expensive and confusing CD Authoring program called RSJ CDWriter, its really a demo version that you have to buy to make it realistically usable. On the other hand you can download from the "Downloads Page" of this site a program called CDRWin. This too is a restricted Demo version but registering is VERY reasonable. CDRWin works with DVD's as well as CD's with options to record CD/DVD's, Backup CD/DVD's, Extract Disk tracks and sectors, File and Backup tools as well as a sector viewer and CD-Text editor.

To install CDRWin in eCs you will need to first install an eCs program called ODIN. Odin is a program that allows some 32-bit Windows applications to run in eCs (kinda like Wine in Linux). Odin, like CDRWin is available for download from the "Downloads page" of this web site. A GUI (called ODIN Frontend) is also available for downloading which makes Odin more "user friendly". CDRWin uses a little different approach to managing CD and DVD authoring and takes a little getting used to, but after using it and learning all its neat abilities I'm convinced its one of the best pieces of software available.
