Nero to Release Burning Suite Version 7

Tuesday, October 11, 2005 by Island Dog | Discussion: Windows Software

"Nero will soon release a new version of its digital media software, Nero 7. The suite now includes 18 applications including Nero Home, a new Media Center-like program that allows users to navigate their digital media on a TV screen with a remote control. Version 7 also adds support for Blu-ray and HD-DVD."

It's funny, the more bloated those applications get (18 applications for burning software?), the less likely I will use them (or the more likely I will uninstall them if they come pre-installed).

Nero used to be my favourite CD/DVD-burner software. Who needs another Media-Center software like package? I have started to use Deep-burner for my burning needs; its small and reliable.

Sorry Island Dog, I always appreciate your 'new release' threads very much. I just needed to air my 'I can't stand bloated software' grudge.

I like Island Dog's software "new release" items as well, Esther, but I have to agree with your accessment of the "bloated" software packages. It's like going into a seafood restaurant and ordering steak...just because they offer it. But I believe the ideal situation is to order seafood at a seafood restaurant and a steak at a steak restaurant. In the same token, I believe it's more beneficial to use a specific dvd burner software that is developed just for that purpose, and another software for the purpose of those different options.

Please forgive me, I've dipped a little into the wine this evening, but I am basically agreeing with your accessment of the "component" value of using separate specialized software for it's specific purpose.

From the article:

The company has also added the capability for a custom install, meaning users can select which Nero 7 applications are loaded onto their machines. Other new features include Nero Scout, a new media database application; redesigned backup and burning applications; and support for 5.1 and 7.1 audio recording.

Sounds like you will be able to choose your own level of "bloat"

I still haven't found any other burning software that compares to Nero.

The new Roxio 7.5 actually has many many of the features of Nero, with a more user friendly interface (burning DVDs to or from an image takes about 3 mouse-clicks)

I also tried Ashampoo, and promptly dumped it.

Thanks for the update ID!

Thanks guys.  It's nice to know people find what I post helpful.

And I do have do agree somewhat with what was said.  I'm really getting tired of everything turning into a "media edition".  However I also have to say I use Nero 6 a lot and it is a great piece of software.
