Nero Burning Rom still has the same user interface and annoying lack of time saving features, I pray each night for something innovative such as:-

- Write Method (TAO,DAO) Automatic Switching to DAO when TAO Fails.
- Real Time Total SIZE-TO-BURN data at bottom of screen with XXX-TOO-MUCH-DATA Values.
- Automated DELETION of Tagged Files for this Sessions Burn (much needed Aid to Archiving Backups)
- Automated Date Setting.
- Filename Length Editor (Highlighting Length Errors in RED before Burn attempts ! ).
- Simplified Icons for Successful and Failed Burns at Completion of a Burn, It seems a chore to read and find out if a Burn was Successful or not.
- Overburn on DVD Disable message - Because this isn't Possible still....?

Nero has added so many complex and innovative features to its suite, however the simple things above would make Nero Better !

I use this optional package that comes with Nero burner-ware .
Well , actually I only use Nero Recode as a replacement for DVD Shrink . Does a much better job preparing dvd discs for personal dvd movie burns .Very good.
Tried other options ...capturing,dvd authoring , mpeg1 to mpeg2 dvd conversion ,etc. , but they're not my thing (lot's of trial & error involved)
Don't use anything else (dvd player , basic photo imaging , etc.), they're too simple and boring .

The problems with the software are certainly due somewhat to bugs, and hasty releases, but the majority of the problems I read below are OPERATOR ERROR. Be prepared to spend a few DAYS, not minutes, learning this software and video authoring in general if you want to successfully make your own videos with menus etc. Indeed, this applies to ANY video authoring software, not just NeroVision. You will likely need a few tools as well; for instance I recode everything with SUPER first since one of NeroVision's faults is its buggy internal video codecs. I mean really, blaming the software for stupid errors like trying to play a PAL encoded video in a DVD player that only understands NTSC is ludicrous! And if you are too dense to select FIT TO DVD from the format menu then you are too dense to author your own DVD videos. 'nuff said.

I signed up just to say this. The Nero Vision tool in ultra edition is so bad that when you export it even in the default format, the transtions are out of timing and sometimes the clips doesn't match the music. MY PC performance is great but the tool randomly pisses me off. I am a pro at editing and this product sucks big time! The conversion options mostly let you export a 4 minute file which ends up being 2GB! The product is messed up. I HATE NERO!

Nero 7 is an example of how to screw up a good tool. I think they need to rethink what the hell are they doing with the tool. it is so much bloated now that it discourages me to use the tool.

Nero hasn't had a decent version since 7.5.7.0. Since that version, I have had a difficult burning a DVD without block address errors. No problem at all with 7.5.7.0. Nerovision created an .nrg file that was completely unburnable by Nero at all. Not a good release.

This is the only program I ever found that could copy a DVD or make one from scratch that would actually play in my Desktop Go Video DVD\Video player.

It states mmatter of factly in the owner's manual that the player did not support DVDR's or DVDRW's at all. No on CDRW's as well. For years I tried anyways as a way of learning DVD and CD science and I learned a lot.

But Nero learned even more and it makes flawless copies of retail movies and I can make em from scratch with no effort or time investment.

I will be a Nero Serial # owner until Nero stops doing business or I stop watching moviies.............Straight up!

I finally uninstalled Nero from my PC. I run Windows Media Center Edition 2005, and Nero tries to emulate some of Media Center's functions. This may be OK on a non-Media Center PC, but it is just redundant on mine. Also, I kept getting Windows errors for various Nero files conflicting with Windows DLLs and causing things to not work, such as my TV Tuner card. ImgBurn works just as well, if not better, for burning ISO images. I removed Nero about a month and a half ago, and I haven't missed it.

Overpriced sack of bloatware, but unfortunately indispensible because it burns almost any disc image you can find. I wish you could buy just Burning ROM and the disc tools for about half the price, then it would be good. Also, if you get a version that works well, don't be tempted to update it, because updates are buggy more often than not.

I've used every version of NERO. Version 7xxxx is the buggiest burning software I have ever used. It leaves nero.exe and nero indexers loaded in the task manager after the program has closed. If you open the program again, it will leave multiple instances running after the program has closed. Nero tech support only responds by advising to use the "Nero Clean Tool" for removal, and then reinstall. This doesn't work. I wish I had saved my money on this upgrade. I'm going back to version 6.6.

I've been a happy Nero 6 user, then came Nero 7. It may be just me and my rig but upon installation, Nero 7 promptly messed up my burning projects. It coughed up the media I've been using successfully with Nero 6. My trusty old BenQ finally produced its first coaster. Even my LiteOn and LG writers would perform VERY erratically when I used to be such a happy camper with them using Nero 6. Uninstalled 7, reinstalled 6, now everything is back the way it was. No more coasters again. I guess I wouldn't be touching Nero 7 until I see a consensus of people terribly happy with it.

I've had one and only one problem with the Nero Suite, but it is a killer: when burning, the program fools you into thinking it can burn a DVD at the 4.37 Gig level. That is the number the software always comes up with if you ask it to automatically configure the bit rate for conversion. However, the thing is so stupid that it never works. It figures the disc space by itself, and then tells you it can't burn it. Yes, it says it's a "power calibration" error. Hahaha. No, it's not the drive, and it's not the media. It's you, Nero creeps.

However, if you lower the space to 4.34 gigs, things work fine.

What a joke!

Nero 6.6 Ultra is a defacto standard tool. It is absolutely absurd that Ahead to date has not gotten Nero 7 together to be stable or worth upgrading to ... I mean what the &^*^^*#@#! are they doing? I don't know anyone who wants 7.

When are the boys at Ahead going to get "ahead" of the game and make an online updater that actually works? I am sick and tired of running the Nero Product Setup tool every time there's an update and finding that it is incapable of updating the currently installed version (in this case from 7.5.7.0 to 7.5.9.0) Either the bloody thing is looking for some pre-existing installation file which it alleges it can't find (even though Ahead have decided to take 500MB of your hard drive to store the last installation package in your temp directory - AND retain a pointer to it in the registry!) OR it just sods around for ten minutes and then coughs up "Connection Error"

Every single time with this product I have to uninstall and re-install from scratch. Every time I have to download another 150MB+ of installer. Come on Ahead ... if Microsoft, Symantec and every other software company on Earth have got to grips with incremental updates that work, surely you can manage to do the same! If you can't get it to work then admit your shortcomings and take the bloody thing out!

My score goes from 9 down to 5 because of the non-functional online update.

Again Ahead has released a version (7.5.7.0) that is not stable. It caused XP to crash (BSD) and created conflicts with many of my other SW, among them Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0. I had no problems with 7.5.1.1.

Strangely enough I managed it to work on Vista RC2 without conflicts. However, I do not have many SW installations on that machine.

Nero v6 had all stable releases, why not return to quality?

I have used Nero since V.5. I have never had a problem with any release. Not one. The problems people keep referring are likely caused by a lack of ability and/or problems with the O.S., not with Nero itself. I can honestly say I don't recall ever having burned a coaster. I don't pretend to be an expert on burning Cd's or DVDs. Nero is the expert and it has never failed me. Kudos to the staff at Ahead.

Decided to take the plunge on Nero 7 after using v.6 for a long time. I wanted to wait for a newer version of v.7 so they could work out some of the bugs I've heard so much about.

BIG mistake.

This program is very unstable, and many of the buttons do not work. After burning data discs (DVD) the program hangs and I have to use the task manager to close it. Did not even try NVE or any of the other apps - if the most basic functions are buggy, then I can't imagine how bad the others are.

Back to v.6 now and everything's fine.

Buyer beware of Nero 7!

For those of you experiencing the infamous audio skip bug when burning audio CDs from mp3s in Nero 7, you can:

Copy and paste the mp3pro.dll file from version 6 into version 7, thus replacing the bad one in version 7,

or...

install version 7.2.7.0, which finally fixes the problem.
