    Having burnt a disc with Nero 8 Lite (v8.1.1.0), I now need to determine the date I did this.

    Can anyone help me with either software that can determine this, or built in features of either Win 7 or Nero that can retrieve this info?

    Many thanks.

    Couldn't you just open the disc with windows explorer, right click the said file or files and select Properties? Info you need should be there under 'Date Created'.
    Hope this helps.

    No, this just gives the attributes of the files contained on the disc, not the actual date the files were burnt to the disc.

    Yes but if you right click on one of the files contained on the disc, this should tell you the date created.

    Yes, it tells you the date that they were created on the PC/laptop used to burn, not the date of the actual transfer to disc.

    I believe the CD/DVD Speed application will tell you the date of a disc on the CD DVD quality page.
