Editor's review of Nero 8 Ultra Edition 8.1.1

- "Beyond basic burning"
- Version reviewed: Nero 8 Ultra Edition 8.1.1
Nero 8 Ultra delivers a refurbished digital media suite that's still as comprehensive as they come, though now in a more polished wrapper. The installation file is massive; 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.
CD- and DVD-burning is still Nero's core; welcome shortcuts for burning and ripping CDs and DVDs are now accessible from the new StartSmart GUI, which is now adorned with a programmable RSS reader. Authoring and burning high-definition CDs and DVDs are added features, and so is the ability to export video files made and edited with Nero to YouTube, MySpace, and MyNero.
Nero 8 Ultra introduces RescueAgent, a tool to recover data from damaged disks, and a gaggle of Vista features, including a one-click desktop gadget for copying CDs.
Despite the cosmetic alterations, Vista support, and enhancements, particularly to Nero Vision, the dramatic changes are slim. However, Nero Ultra 8's significantly faster application launch time and improved usability make the audio, video, photo, data, and home entertainment workhorse that lets you edit MP3s, capture and edit video, record and playback TV, create slide shows, back up data, convert audio files, check your hardware specs, and design disc covers with ease well worth a try.

Version: Nero 8 Ultra Edition 8.1.1
"Nero - named after the fiddler?"
Pros: It responds faster than 7 did.
Works nearly as well as the free version you get with a pc.
Cons: At the price, I would have thought they could have bought a decent server so the software could be downloaded and which gave access to the message boards.
With all the impossible set up problems with this and other Neros (comes with a separate uninstall tool!!) and its habit of just ceasing to function, I'm not prepared to fork out another $60+ for a piece of software that will probably do the same. Radio buttons don't work, search engine fails, audio crashes every time I use it. CD burner not too bad but then so is any other.
A help desk that can only suggest I uninstall and re-install until it works and a host of archiving operations that they can't explain and which contradict the archiving tools of other media players just makes it a nightmare tool to use.
A few stand alone applications, that don't eat up your resources and are free or share wares turns out to be a much better option.

Version: Nero 8 Ultra Edition 8.1.1
Pros: I do have Nero 7 Ultra Edition installed in my pc and it helps me lot of burning home video movies, and also helps me converting photo show with my Nero PhotoShow Deluxe 5. Usually, my photo show or home movie video will not playback on regular dvd player only on pc, now I found some techniques to convert it, although it takes a long processing but, I enjoy watching my creations on tv and sharing them to friends and relatives. Did I mention that Nero PhotoShow Deluxe 5 is also great thing to have:-)
Cons: It's just really big, takes a lot of space.
