Reviews for Ashampoo Burning Studio 2018
superb works a treat
CD and DVD devices have been used for a long time to store data like photos, music, or videos/movies. The biggest advantages of using CD/DVD drives to store data is that they come at a cheap price per gigabyte. Creating audio discs, video discs, and discs with other data can be easily done at home, as most PCs and laptops do offer an optical drive. It is an easy task, if you have just the right tools for the job.
Ashampoo Burning Studio 2018 is a fully-featured disc burning and ripping software application, designed to help you burn any type of files to discs, generate ISO images, design covers, and do much more.

The installer size is ~75MB and might require a fast and stable internet connection to be downloaded. The installation process is simple and straightforward, and does not take much time to complete. Before the installation continues, it asks users to enter the license key they have to proceed. After launching for the first time, it automatically detects all the optical drives attached to your system. If you have no optical drives or if it is not detected, it pops up a message and guides you on what to do. Once all that is done, you can start using the application to burn, rip, backup, and more.
User Interface
The interface is clean, easy-to-work with, and has a modern look displaying all the functions at the left-side. Hovering over any option, a window appears showing further options in that category. There are 10 options in total, namely Burn Data, Audio + Music, Movie, Cover + Inlays, Copy Discs, Disc Image, Backups, Advanced Functions, Open Projects, and Service. All the options lead to wizard-like windows, that guide you through the process. At the top-right there are buttons to access settings menu, help documents, change skin, and change language. You can select any language from the many available, and you can create your own skin or download a skin and apply it to the UI.

Easily create backup files
With this version of Ashampoo Burning Studio 2017, you can create compressed archive files of your projects. In doing so, you can access them at a later stage without facing any challenge.

Ashampoo Burning Studio has been the king of creating and ripping DVDs, blu-ray, MP3s and CDs for a while. It’s flexible, easy to use and light on the system. It will work perfect for anyone who wants to burn, rip or manage images on their computer.
At a Glance
Ashampoo Burning Studio 2016 lives in the stellar user interface performance heralded by its predecessors. Everything sits on a neat menu bar to your left and a perfect grouping approach puts the basic controls for each action you take at your fingertips.
Couple this with the robust burn data, music and movie options and you get an all rounded tool that will help you manage all your data and files in the most seamless way possible. It’s versatility extends beyond mere burning to additional features like backup and restoration, designing covers for your discs and creating/managing disc images.
Additional advanced settings let you control how you want to burn your data. This is especially useful when writing bootable disks. Ashampoo burning Studio 2016 will let you alter the boot settings, file structure and other things that will help you get the perfect disc.
Pros
• Beautiful and impressive user interface
• Robust disc burning options to cover all your data, video, movie and music needs
• Backup and restore feature makes it more than just a burning studio
• Cool cover themes and templates for faster disc cover designing
• Support for rewritable disc management
• Robust settings options to validate data and burning destination before commencing task
Cons
No compression or customization tool
Most of the top tier burning studios will either let you compress your data or do some extensive customization before burning. You cannot compress those large Blu-ray movies to fit into small capacity discs.
Customization features like editing the video you are burning are lacking but you can choose the specific file structure for data discs using the advanced feature.
Verdict
Ashampoo Burning Studio is a great free tool that will give you more than just burning Blu-ray, DVDs and CDs. It extends its functionality to cover basic data management process and gives you total control over data backup and pre or post disc authoring procedures.
Long time user of ABS 6 Free, but this is a different story and quite multi-functional. Thank you very much!
So much for “universal solution for everything burning-related.” I just need to make a DVD from .mp4’s.
I guess it is wrong to assume this software works the same way as it makes a CD from .mp3’s.
Very nice software! Been using this for a lot of years! Thanks sharewareonsale for getting this for us.
Brilliant software, feature-filled — very useful
Excelente programa… Aunque Nero y Roxio siguen siendo líderes en el mercado de los tostadores de discos.-
Been using Ashampoo burning software for years . Never a problem , super easy to use and does a fast quality job on Blurays and dvd’s . So far Burning Studio 16 follows the past trend . Recommend !
OK but cumbersome. Much prefer the free Starburn for all burn need.
The Best Burning software!!
goood
I recently purchased Burning Suite v15 (wish I had waited now). I was trying to burn some cd’s and my existing program just was not working properly so tried a trial version of Ashampoo V15 and was very impressed (I have several of their programs already), which I then bought. It is very wasy to use, is quick and works very well. Excellent program even when you have to buy them.
I have used Ashampoo Products for many years and have to say thev’ve done it again a great bunrning studio for all your burning needs.
Great software! Works very well.
Very good

ANDY you right; what is so best on NERO? – question for those who minus ANDY.. Todays nero just consuming space on harddrive, ram memory, can not leave comment to viping stupid “search plugin”, which will install until i check “NOT install”; nero was best at version 6, now it is just tons of stupid junks and contraproductive addons like “theatre player”..
But Ashampoo burner is just burner, that mean, who need burner, need exactly burner( = Ashampoo )..
Finger up, ANDY ;-)
Thank you both, Ashraf and Ashampoo. It’s great to upgrade from v15 to v16.
Best regards
interesting program of multifunctional
