2 out of 5 stars Nero 7 Premium a let-down   March 14, 2008
Mr. J. Seaton
Nero 6 Ultra was a fantastic piece of software and Nero as a company name was a market-leader in OEM burning software.
I purchased Nero 7 Premium after a look around at the available products within my price range, and a look at the trial download showed good features and some new improvements that made it appear like the sun shone from the backside of this Nero 7.
I went ahead and bought the software.
Initially I was impressed, and it has to be said that I have prodcued numerous good-quality videos with the available features and transitions, and the burning software worked fine.
However, after prolonged use I found that the software was very prone to crashes, errors and sometimes did not respond at all.
The meat of the program is Nerovision, a video-editting facility. This was my main focus, and whilst some other programs were acting strangely (for example, the Nero Burning ROM just gave me an error everytime, despite repeated reinstalls), even that I could deal with.

But no.
NeroVision is even more unstable than Windows Movie maker (something I never thought possible), and is an utterly disappointing failure.
Any medium-sized project will crash within minutes, and constantly hammering the 'Save' button was really getting on my nerves.

Before you blame my computer spec, it is an AMD Sempron Palermo 2.2GHz with 1.25Gb of RAM and GeForce 6200 256Mb Graphics: more than enough for even 2008-released programs.

Unless you can handle the severe bugs within this program and you have a computer that also serves as a commercial quality mainframe supercomputer with ampoules of RAM, I would strongly advise you to give this disaster a wide berth.
I no longer use the software, and I am very wary of any of these "market leading" software packages offered by other companies.
Nero certainly killed its franchise and good name with this load of horse dump.



3 out of 5 stars problems with burning CD-R   January 4, 2008
diddy maid (UK)
Ver 6 all sections worked well. When software co 'Audible' updated its burn to CD feature I had to purchase Nero7. there was link from Audible to Nero with a special download "offer" promotion. All worked well until I wanted to burn to a CD-R disc! NO GOOD. InCD option was blocked. recently managed to activate InCD option via disk, but this still does not allow burning to CD-R's. Have to burn to CD-RW, transfer to my other PC with Nero 6 and use copy disc option & all is fine.this action was advised by another forum as being legal.


1 out of 5 stars Dont waste your money   August 15, 2007

It is so frustrating. Sometime you burn an Audio CD with no problems, then 5 CD's in the bin. It crashes or freezes. Roxio is supposed to be better. And if you rename the .MPS files into the order you want them, then attempt to burn an Audio CD, it re-orders them at random - useless.

I too want my money back.

In one of the other reviews posted here, a person wrote the following:

"To the people who are thinking of buying nero 7, do it [SIC]. The other reviewers are either lying, anti-nero, or there [SIC] pc dont work propably, [SIC] ive tried every application on this software to find that all of them work, and they all work amazingly, i got [SIC] this software initially to make movie's with [SIC], and then burn them onto dvd's. Works Amazingly! Having the software for over 3 weeks, i now use most of the applications."

The person who wrote those words claims to have had success with "every application on this software." I challenge his statement publicly, since I have nown come across quite a few serious problems which are easily duplicated regardless of operating system and configuration. I do suspect Nero may be working well for him in the one and only area he has tried (the one he mentioned, specifically). In other words, he is using it to "to make movie's [SIC] with, and then burn them onto dvd's" [SIC]).

As an example, I publicly challenge him to try to create a slide show of more than four minutes in length, and then add any audio file. Any file, whether .ac3, .wav, stereo, surround, MP3, etc. The result will play fine on the PC. However, any attempts to burn this to a DVD will yield up the serious encoding errors which NeroVision placed on the compilation. These errors ran into the hundreds, as verified by PGCEdit. The end result (when it begins to play at all) will stutter, and freeze, and lockup. I have now verified this with more than 30 separate tests on three different PCs.

I will not repeat the other serious problems which have been mentioned by several of the other previous reviews, except to say that they are real bugs and that they do indeed exist. Nero released this version with a huge glut of glitches and problems, and their customer service for the paying customers (who are truly doing the early Beta-testing in this case) is miserable.

Their web site will lead you to believe that you can actually do DTS if you add the "HDDVD/Blu-Ray Plug In." Do not believe it. I ended up on the phone with their customer support, when it failed, and the response from the poor gentleman I spoke with was finally "um, yeah, there are some of us here who wish they would get a lot of that stuff off of the web site, since it has not yet really been added. We take the heat." I responded "I obviously paid for the wrong program, since we both know there is a lot of competition out there." His response was "No, you bought the right program, they are working on it. They are working on a lot of things."

I stand by my statement to him. I bought the wrong program.

By the way, I am a user of the previous version (Nero 6). I was looking forward to being able to make use of many of those "features" listed on their web site (Dolby Digital 5.1 surround, DTS audio, slide shows. backup DVD, backup CD, etc.) Trust me, most of these "new features" are pure vaporware. Many of the ones that you will find within the software will not function properly. Even worse, there are some that simply do not yet exist with this product.

This "update" is sad. [...], Nero. [...].
