Ashampoo Burning Studio users are unusually loyal, with good
reason this program s speed, simplicity and efficiency are
simply unbeatable. Over the years the Ashampoo programmers have
turned the program into a full suite that can handle all your
data, audio and video burning and authoring tasks, without
sacrificing its famous ease of use. In version 10 they have once
again added a wealth of new features and modules, but the program
is still amazingly intuitive to use everything is explained as
you do it.

The main focus of this premium version is even better authoring
capabilities for building video and audio discs using the latest
formats. HD and Full HD video (720p and 1080p) are now fully
supported for Blu-ray discs, and all the encoding is handled by
Ashampoo Burning Studio 10. All the authoring tools have been
overhauled and the video encoding quality is even better than
before. You now use the same new integrated editor for building
DVD and Blu-ray video disks with menus. The program also starts
more quickly and is generally snappier to use.

In addition to this there is a new Autoplay Editor module with
which you can build auto-starting data discs with attractive
interactive menus for example for collections of programs. And
there is now also a new Audio Player with which you can play
audio files and audio CDs without leaving the program.
