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 9.2.6.0
Pros: Nothing- this is one of the sorriest programs ever concocted. At least the trojans have a sense of honor about not deleting files from your PC.
Cons: Malware- deletes competing files without permission, including MSFT!
Summary: The fact CNET could give this 5 stars is very depressing- it means CNETis now corrupt. This is a huge loss for us. Nero 9 is criminal malware- it deletes the Windows standard DVD decoder without premission. It deliberately does not uninstall itself,... read more >>

Version: Nero 9 9.2.6.0
"Wish you could give it a zero rating"
Pros: None at all
Cons: This software takes over all file associations without asking permission. Ownership has already acknowledged how they screwed up big time with this release. http://tiny.cc/wp6bz that was over 3 months ago and still no update to Nero 9 to fix problems
Summary: Bottom line, avoid Nero 9. No software should ever take over file associations without permission. That is the behavior of a virus. I have no idea how this thing got 5 stars from CNET. Clearly they don't actually use the product and just read a PR r... read more >>

"Version 9 IS Not The Best Program On Vista"
Pros: Enjoyed using past versions of Nero for the quick cd burning. Versions 7 and 8 are in my opinion are better.
Cons: Nero 9.0 crashed my Vista os. Had to reinstall to factory settings because Windows would not boot normally nor boot with command prompt in safe mode.
Summary: It's worth using on Windows XP perhaps not Vista.

"Slow and Controlling -Waste of Money"
Pros: new features but a controlling program
Cons: Slow and controlling-Rewrites other programs without permission-Hard to get Rid of.
Summary: When we buy a specific software -We want just that -Not for it to take over other programs without asking-A person gave it five stars-Reality check--Some people like making comments even when theyve never tried the product. C-net gave it five stars ... read more >>
