I had problems with MP3 Codex with my last system and installed a free copy of Cheetah DVD Burner which worked well. Checking my latest DAW, I find it even less well equipped for compressed formats so I have downloaded the latest version of Cheetah (now subject to a small fee) and use this software for format changes.

I work totally in CD quality 44.1 wave mode as final Mixes will become CDs, but I also reformat the whole final CD Burn folder to MP3 and save in an a different MP3 folder for other playing devices such as my own Home Theater setup. The beauty of this program is that a whole folder of CD quality tracks can be compressed to MP3 at a selection of bit rates between 8k and 320k very very quickly.

Odd though I have never used the program to cut the CDs or DVDs.
