Yea, needing to upgrade Nero bugged me too. And even ignoring filesize, each 
new version of Nero kept getting worse anyway (the original was actually 
pretty good, but they quickly put a stop to that).

I just use ImgBurn/DVD Decryptor/DVD Shrink for ripping/burning ISOs and 
InfraRecorder for everything else. They're soooo much better than *any* 
commercial package I've seen in at least ten years. They do the job, do it 
well, and all with *no* bullshit/bloat/skins or any other such crap.
