Talk:List of optical disc authoring software

Ulead
Are four external links to Ulead Systems optical authoring programs really necessary? Seems a bit excessive to me. In fact this whole page looks like a link farm. (Requestion 04:15, 27 May 2006 (UTC))
 * Compromise. The four Ulead links have been consolidated down to one link. (Requestion 18:52, 17 June 2006 (UTC))

Authoring vs Copying
I don't think CD/DVD Ripping software should be listed as "authoring" software. Several programs (example: Alcohol 120%) don't offer any ability to author CDs/DVDs. These software titles are CD/DVD "drive emulator" software or CD/DVD "copying" software but their own websites declare that they do not provide "authoring" capabilities. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.68.153.91 (talk • contribs).
 * I would suggest ripping only software be removed from this list. I also suggest this list should be split into List of optical disc authoring software and List of optical disc image software. The authoring software list would be for programs that can actually burn data, while the image software list would be for programs that create, convert, manipulate, and mount optical disc images. It would be even better if these articles were made into Comparison of ... articles (e.g. Comparison of P2P applications) --Egriffin 15:53, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

Zeta ?
Since apparently nobody bothers to answer this question I'll restate it a little more formally. The article has an own section for an operating system called "Zeta". I am not aware of such an OS, and there is no link about it. Could somebody please provide a short explanation what this supposedly is ? Wefa 13:32, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Comparison Matrix
For some software products some experts created comparison matrices also directly in wikipedia, e.g. for archive software. This would be very helpful for this kind of software.

Cleanup
There's lots of WP:RED links on this article, either make articles for them, or provide a WP:RS (such as a mention in a news article) to keep it. Thanks! --Hm2k (talk) 14:24, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Cleanup complete, if you believe i've removed something that should be kept, please read the above and follow the guidelines before you restore. Thanks! --Hm2k (talk) 14:38, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

NewTech Infosystems (NTI)
NTI CD & DVD Maker comes bundled w/ most acer systems from what I know. Should it not be included in this page and the matrix comparison? http://www.ntius.com http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NewTech_Infosystems_Inc. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.56.241.164 (talk) 17:04, 1 January 2009 (UTC)
 * It's a list, not a matrix, of which you can add whatever you like so long as it has an article and/or a reliable source for notability. --Hm2k (talk) 17:08, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

Free software
Please!! Change the "open source" menu-item to "Free software" or Free/Open source software.

Open Source Software and Free software aren't the same thing. Can you justify why you want this change?

s/commercial/retail/
The section 'Commercial' is a bit ill-named, as both freeware and open source/free software in many cases are commercial (see commercial software). I'd say that Retail software is a more suitable term. --Erik (talk) 17:14, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
