Description:

InCD packet writing utility which allows the user to format CDs/DVDs so that they can be used by simply dragging and dropping files to the disk or by saving to disk from within other applications. Included with Nero digital media suites (CD/DVD burning, authoring, etc) version 9 (optional install for versions 7 thru 9) and now available as a separate download. If you prefer not to use InCD (due to the obvious alternatives such as USB flash drives) you can disable it
