CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
You can find plenty of programs to handle your CD- and DVD-burning tasks, but few have as many features and cover as many aspects as Nero. Beyond burning CDs and DVDs, you can back up your computer, create artwork for your CD and DVD cases, make complex mixes with Nero's built-in mixing software, and even check your hardware specs to make sure everything is up to speed. We like the comprehensive coverage of all things that have to do with burning, making it possible to avoid juggling several programs to make a single CD. We're also fans of the Nero PhotoShow Express module, which lets you manage your digital-image collection and create custom slide shows. One of Nero's greatest features is its MPEG-4 encoder for copying noncopyrighted DVD movies to CD-R/RW and several other media formats.
We were skeptical of the fact that Nero might be trying to stuff too much into its software, but the StartSmart GUI opens a clear path for both beginners and advanced users to every aspect of the software suite. We would like a 30-day trial rather than having the demo expire at the end of the month, which gave us only four days from our installation. Overall, this great suite of programs covers all your CD- and DVD-burning needs, and we recommend it to anyone with a writable drive.

Version: Nero 6 Ultra Edition 6.6.0.15
"One of the best CD & DVD Burners available, but the updates may be trouble"
Pros: Has ability to burn every type of CD/DVD, easy to use with Nero StartSmart (expert) or Nero Express (beginner), and includes exclusive Nero Media Player
Cons: Uses A LOT of processing power (CPU) when burning CDs/DVDs, Nero releases many updates (their version numbers have THREE decimals?!) and updates may contain corrupted files when downloading with a firewall and/or anti-virus program running; Nero Tech Support suggests downloading the updates without the firewall and/or anti-virus program running, but that is suicide for computer security (VERY IRRESPONSIBLE coming from any Tech Support)
