CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
Nero 9 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 and 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 are still Nero's core, while shortcuts for burning and ripping CDs and DVDs are now accessible from the new StartSmart GUI, now adorned with an 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 9 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'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 9 9.0.9.4c
"Very difficult install. Backup yr systm bfre installing"
Pros: None really. The showtime module is an improvement but it is not possible to install it on its own
Cons: Nero products have got worse release by release Nero 9 takes over an hour to install and in most case fails. There are thousands of complaints about found by a simple Google search
Summary: Avoid it like the plague becuase even it you can install it it is no better than version 8 but most likely it will corrrupt your PC and you will need to restore your system from backup.

Version: Nero 9 9.0.9.4c
"Even Norton is less bloated than Nero"
Pros: AVC HD support
Nero Live is nice (but so is Media Center)
Finally supports QuickTime formatCons: All the rest of the apps are bloated as hell.
Takes forever to install (yeah even longer than Vista SP1 on Vista Gold)
Nero apparently has yet to learn how to write managed code...this is the first version that requires .NET and is shockingly slow.Summary: Avoid it like plague. Version 6 was the last good version but for some niceties like Vista/Windows 7 support, Blu-ray, Nero 7 was tolerable. I decided never to try Nero after Nero 8 and its spinning donut but still decided to give Nero 9 a try. It's... read more >>

Version: Nero 9 9.0.9.4c
"No "zero star rating" available."
Pros: none This program is worthless
Cons: Too complex, too much of a resource hog, too slow loading anyone of the programs.
Summary: This is a complete waste of time. The full version is not only no better, its even worse. Nero has been crap since version 6. What a shame as they have continued a downward spiral ...
