CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
Though primarily known for its CD- and DVD-burning prowess, the newest version of Nero Ultra proves to be a full-fledged media workhorse. The installation file is big and takes awhile to load; also, once Nero is on your machine, it consumes a hefty serving of memory. Considering all it can do, though, we can only complain so much.
The attractive StartSmart GUI opens a clear path for both beginners and advanced users to every aspect of the software suite. The burning options are as comprehensive as they come, whether you're working with photos, data, music, or video. Other features let you erase discs; convert audio files; capture video; edit photos; make backups; check your hardware specs; and create slide shows, custom audio mixes, and disc covers. Version 7 takes things one step further with Media Center-like features that allow you to watch and record TV, as well as manage your entire collection of media.
We would like a 30-day trial rather than having the demo expire at the end of the month, but if you time it right, you should be able to get plenty of use out of it. Anybody who uses their computer for entertainment purposes will find Nero Ultra 7 well worth its price tag.

Version: Nero 7 Ultra Edition Enhanced 7.5.9.0a
"Nero 7 Ultra Edition ENHANCED: 7.5.9.0a"
Pros: WIDE OPERATING SYSTEM SUPPORT: Windows 2000 (SP4), Windows XP, Windows MCE 2005, Windows 2003 Server, Windows XP Professional x64-bit Edition (SP1), and Windows Vista. Took the best of the latest update to Nero 6 Ultra Edition and further improves existing compatibilty with x64-bit Editions of Windows.
Cons: Integrated web update program does NOT WORK in ANY version of Windows. To update to the latest version you must first download the entire online program 100+MB just to get the updates. And the updates do not come in the form of an update package either, it's a FULL program download with updated versions of each component in Nero 7. The web installer is supposed to avoid the hassle of downloading full program releases by just downloading what's needed in smaller downloads. However this will not be activated until sometime in 2007.... very weak Nero.
Nero InCD is not available in the Nero 7 installer under Windows XP x64/2003 Server either. There is no option to install it because it is not supported under Windows 2003 Server/Windows XP Pro x64. According to Nero, a future update may include a 64-bit version of InCD. However, the specified release date is not known. I highly recommend downloading the LATEST version of Nero directly from nero.com instead of installing it from a boxed CD. The Nero 7 Ultra Enhanced CD that I got from Nero in a box set installed perfectly, but when I tried to upgrade (either by first uninstalling or just installing on top) the installer failed complaining about "missing handles"??? I was able to fully remove the CD version off of my PC by downloading Nero's UNINSTALLER from their website. The latest downloadable version of Nero 7.5.9.0a has fixed the installer issues.

Version: Nero 7 Ultra Edition Enhanced 7.5.9.0a
"Many Bugs on WMCE 2005 Sony VAIO VGC-RA 710G"
Pros: It includes WMP-Nero Fast CD-DVD Burning Plugin for Windows Media Player 10
Cons: Although I have kept updated on all new releases of Nero 7, there are several Bugs that weren't present in Nero 6 Version.
Every time I want to burn a data disc in Nero Express the system crashes, and the error from Nero says its a buffer over-run error. From that point on I can close Nero and forget about it, or have to reboot to access Nero again without the buffer error.
I must use Nero Express Only to erase a Cd/DVD, because if I use Nero Burn rom I get the same error message of buffer overrun. It is annoying, and I have reverted back to Nero 6, but then miss the WMP fast burning plugin. With every update I hope that they have fixed it.
Also I have had no success at eliminating the Nero Scout even though I didn't install it. Then it runs a process called NMIndexStore Svr.exe, and is on occasion checking my hard drive when there is no purpose to it since I don't use the Nero Scout. This process doesn't show up on the MS Config utility, but loads as a process, and I have to end this process manually sometimes or it accesses the hard drive, quite aggressively, and hogs processor Usage. I give Nero 7 a C+

Version: Nero 7 Ultra Edition Enhanced 7.5.9.0a
"It is a very friendly user program"
Pros: It has many very gfood applications for slide shows abd movies.
Cons: PhotoSnap editor has a bug in it; The filters work for about three pictures and then cutout. It is necessary aftera few pictures to unregister the filters and then re-register them to continue editing pictures.
The movie section has a very intensive and unique title tool, but, the slide show section lacks a title tool. I find this very disappointing, in the program.
I have been working with the program as a registered user since March 06, and would like to see the forewgoing added to the program to complete the slide show section.

Version: Nero 7 Ultra Edition Enhanced 7.5.9.0a
Cons: There are some disabled features in nero recode (like the iPod profile) but nero still claims that these features are enabled. Didn�t get much help from nero�s manuals and FAQs�. Currently running an older version on nero!
