DESCRIPTION
FireStarter FX is a cool new application for making backups of your CDs and DVDs and burn them back to another media.

It's also a very easy way of burning disc images from the PC world: It handles perfectly well cue/bin files, which are so common on Windows, and which were very hard to burn with other tools.

FireStarter FX is not a tool to back up DVD-Videos, nor a transcoding tool to encode your videos in other formats such as MPEG4, MPEG2, MPEG1 or DivX

WHAT'S NEW
Version 1.0rc1:
  • FireStarter FX 1.0RC1 has been redeveloped from scratch and now supports officially only Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger and Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard. It is a universal application from ground up. It hasn't been tested on previous versions of Mac OS X and we are not intending on supporting them.
  • All the previous functionalities are available, in a more robust and hopefully user-friendly version.
  • A major new feature has been implemented in this release: automatic split and burn of data folders bigger than the size of the media inserted, as requested by many users.
  • I hope you will like it, as we tried to put as much coolness as possible in the application. Please think about giving if you like and use the software, it simple, efficient, environmentally green and brings good karma!

    VERROCCHIO  CALABAR_BEAN, sorry but you are past the line... rating a software that you haven't even tried, and specially, rating its functionality poorly and backing them with wrong assertions is simply unacceptable.

    Specially when considering that you have obviously been using for free this software which required a considerable amount of work.

    FYI: This is a major new version, rebuilt from scratch, and no expiry date.  (Version 1.0rc1)

    CALABAR_BEAN  crapware

    If you'd like to run into expiration dates and be forced to update and to wait for a new version which is not available...

    It's a no go.  (Version 1.0rc1)

    COUGARBLUE  The best way to kill your software is to get too cute with restrictions, codes, or expiration dates. I've been a Mac user since 1986, beta-tested 100's of games and utilities, and assembled shareware/freeware discs for user groups. Take a good look at the software products to make it from the beta stage to successful sales and I don't think you could name one that made it to retail shelfs that played the expiration game. Limit the features, whatever you think best, but once you make a small utility hard to use, the Mac world runs away from you. After I noted that you misbranded your product as freeware, I decided against even downloading it.

    There are too many comparable products that do the same thing, to charge either an unreasonable high price or make it difficult to install and use.

    One of the very best freeware efforts ever is 0.50 Senuti. I have had a great experience using the software. If the developer made it to version 1.0 and charged $19, or added features and charged up t0 $29, I'd pay for it in a heartbeat. If the German guy who developed similar product priced at $49 to start; sold a hundred copies, I'd be shocked.

    Sadly you have chosen to get fancy and shoot yourself in the butt, by making the process more trouble than the products worth.  (Version 1.0b12)

    ROBK  Why are you putting an expiry date on the software?

    Are you thinking of making this product sharware after the Beta?  (Version 1.0b12)
