Advanced CD recording features support writing audio CDs from MP3, WMA, WAV, and OGG files as well as data CD/DVD containing any type of files desired. Powerful capabilities include very fast and efficient multithreaded recording; highly compatible with most any IDE and SCSI drives on the market today; multi-session disc support; auto-detect high write speed availability and is fully supported and optimized internally; ASPI manager not required for NT/2000/XP systems; full re-writable disc support; superior data buffering; and much more. The system allows recording of a data image on-the-fly; no need to create an image on the hard drive first. Therefore, very little disk space is required for data CD recording.

For data CDs, existing ISO images can be imported from other sources, and the software can also write ISO files for external use. Audio CD creation offers such options as caching data locally to prevent the possibility of errors on slower systems for maximum compatibility. Test-mode writing is also supported to verify success without having to risk a wasted disc. Audio CD track manipulation is very easy and intuitive as well. You can quickly and easily rearrange tracks, remove any unwanted tracks, erase CD-RW discs, add a complete path of files to the list at once, and more.

Novice audiophiles and videophiles will enjoy the program's drag and drop operation, its CDDB auto-save, and its many easy-to-use features.  Power users will appreciate being able to fine-tune all of Blaze Media Pro's preferences and settings.

Advanced conversions include CD to WAV, MP3, WMA, and OGG; MP3/WMA/OGG/WAV/AIF/VOX/MP2/MPC/G.72x/AU/RAW to MP3/WMA/OGG/WAV; WAV/MP3/WMA/OGG to CD burning, WAV/MP3 Compression, and two-way conversions among MPEG-1, MPEG-2, AVI, WMV, Multi-Page TIFF, and FLIC. The audio content of video files can be extracted and saved to sound files, and frames can also be extracted to images files in batch mode.   Video files can be created from still frame images and/or other videos as well.
