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.
