1 out of 5 stars Nero 8 retrograde   August 14, 2008
 2 out of 2 found this review helpful

Remember when Nero looked like a piece of shareware, well version 8 still does.
I purchased Nero 6 when it first came out and found it a most user friendly piece of software, but with Nero 8 they have totally lost the plot.
It's like trying to find your way around a maze!
If your current version does everything you want, stick with it.
Me I'm reloading Nero 6.

Installed well and functions great on my Vista PC.

It is easy to use and does what it says on the box. The only drawback that I have noticed is that it is heavy on system resources. Apart from that, I am happy with this product.

As with most software, remember to check for product updates on the Nero website to make the most of your purchase.



2 out of 5 stars where is the good old Nero?   July 28, 2008

Ok, this used to be the best burning software out there, and it set the standard for many to follow. That was before, now, it is a different matter. It took me ages to install the program, and it used my memory like there is no tomorrow. I had a few problems with it, system freezes, disc errors, multiple system restarts to go back to normal. The burning engine itself is excellent, it gets the job done, but do not even think about using any other program while running this one, otherwise, you WILL have some issues. The only solution I found is helpful, is to use a custom install option, and only install the burning software itself, without the other features that are bundled with it, cause for me those were the cause of the problem, where most of them start up when you boot, and they use system resource. In a nutshell, great burning software, if only it came without all the rest of the unnecessary things packed with it. I really hope the upcoming version goes back to the glory of the older versions, where the main focus is getting things done.


1 out of 5 stars Problems with Nero 8 / Nero Vision 5   April 20, 2008
 10 out of 10 found this review helpful

I have been using Nero products for many years, but never again.
Nero 8 works well until you come to edit DVDs using Nero Vision, when audio and visuals go out of synch. Customer services have been absolutely useless and take an age to respond. After many hours I have now reverted back to Nero 7 which works. I have been told by customer services that Nero Vision 5 is a little fussy and the problem resides with my source files - how come Nero 7,Roxio and Windows DVD maker have no problems with the same source files? I finally gave up when customer services suggested I pay for / download another programme to convert the files in to another format and then convert with Nero 8!!!



3 out of 5 stars One step forward - two steps back   April 8, 2008

I have used Nero on and off over the years. This is the third boxed version I have bought.
I had no good reason to upgrade from 7 it had served me well and at one point I thought i was going to have to go back to 7.
I had to contact Nero support twice who I have to say are quite effective if a little slow.
The program had a tendency to stop working and freezing. Much of it to do with clashes from previous versions and the problems with "Nero Filters" whatever that is.
It is now working and is pretty good. I still occasionally have start to reboot my system when the start smart program doesn't start.
I don't like the activation requirement. I don't like the Scout, but at the end of the day I'm going to sit it out, when it works , it works well.
