NERO 9 RELOADED 5 Dec 2009

By JohnBoy

Having used Nero 7 previously on a PC using Windows XP as its operating system and not having any problems, I bought Nero 9 Reloaded for a new PC running Windows 7 Professional.
I followed all of the Nero installation advice even loading all of the recomended install of programmes & downloaded as recomended the updates (quite a large file some 300 MB). I tried the Cd & DVD burning software, none of it worked properly and I wasted several CDs & DVDs trying various combinations, nor did the other programmes included work either. The computer also developed a marked slowing of its operations all round.
I uninstalled the complete Nero 9 and installed just the Burning part which I really only wanted, without updates & it runs very well. So much for Nero 9 reloaded tested for windows 7. In my experience (and others I have noticed since, on various forums), Nero need to try harder, especially at the price), if you want a burning software other than that offered by the inbuilt Windows 7 one which works well but doesn't offer the verify part that Nero does, then it works. But forget the rest of the included software. Nero help never responded to my requests for help either.

Great but uses a lot of system resources 16 Oct 2009

By Mr. Steven Williamson TOP 1000 REVIEWER

This is the updated version of the nero 9 program pack. Firstly i believe that this program is great and that it has many useful functions, but, due to the fact it has so many applications the software is huge. As a result it will take some time to install and many people have critised this fact in the past (unfairly in my opinion).
The primary difference with this version is that it is 'fully' windows 7 compatible and it enhances windows vista compatibility too. This is in comparison to previous versions which many people claimed to crash often as nero was not 'fully' compatible. These are problems which i have never faced personally as nero 9 reloaded runs smoothly on my computer because it runs on vista ultimate 64, and is quite powerful. In contrast i would recommend that people with older or less powerful computers should use less demanding programs.
This new version of Nero installs quite a few programs which autoload at system startup which i recommend disabiling unless you will be using them often as they make startup slow. The updater also is still a little broken and doesn't work properly but that isn't a major concern as the already installed programs can cope with basically anything you can throw at them.
Overall i would recommend this program because not only do you get a lot value for money (�60 for all an anyday user would ever need in the areas of burning, photo, video and audio manipulation, this includes converting to popular portable device formats and aspect ratios which is great and allows me to watch high quality videos on my psp,ipod and nokia phone)and in my opinion nero is still to be beaten on its dvd,cd,and now blu-ray, burning and copying capabilities. Lastly, it appears to be reliable compared with other versions i have ran on my operating system previously. Only bad points are the updates and it can slow the computer down quite a bit.

Nero - lost the plot 20 Nov 2010

By Vipera

Back in the day, Nero emerged as the expert's choice for a burning application. It did its job efficiently and was lauded for having a light foorprint and without the bloat of many of its competitors (notably Roxio).

How times have changed. I set up numerous computers (laptops and desktops) for clients - typically with a fresh OS install, removing all the Cr@*pware that some manufacturers feel the public want (or maybe they just think it looks good on the box and in the blurb to give a long list of software that's preinstalled including the amazing *Adobe Reader*, 30 days "free" of MS Office (add here a dozen or so other demo apps that can be freely downloaded by those who actually WANT them)).

So, what do I find myself doing a dozen times a week? Install W7 - check all drivers etc functioning, add brand-specific software that actually DOES have a use (typically Hot Keys software etc), add Office and any other software client has ordered, WinZip / WinRar, anti malware (AVAST favourite at the moment), then of course they need a burning app. Used to be easy - install Nero, job done. Now: Custom Installation - NO I DON'T want all the added rubbish, I DON'T want to chat online with "Other Nero Users" (are these guys for real!!!?). Nero Scout!!!? Whoever thought that one up should be down the dole office where they belong - how many Man-Hours must have been wasted getting rid of that stupid completely useless "feature" - they must know how bad it is because you can't even deselect it during a custom installation! It just turns up. And on all the many machines I have to restore back to their original speed and reliability - there I see such useless apps as this - combining along with their fellow Cr@*pware to slow the startup and running of the machine to a crawl.

Nero right now reminds me of looking at a friend's IE 7 Browser Window - there were so many toolbars that the Viewing Pane was about 15cm high (literally more of a viewing PAIN). When I asked him why he had so many useless Browser Toolbars and add-ons he said "But they were free with X, Y, Z........" Free - yes, so's a whole list of STI's!!!!

My advice to the people at Nero:

1. Fire the Nero Scout Idiot (let him find another village)

2. Get rid of the junk and bloat and read what W7 does out of the box - and don't try to duplicate this or anything that any number of free apps do much better.

I was about to type number 3 when it occurred to me exactly WHY Nero has gone down the route it has!............. Only by having 20 or so "extra's" can they justify the ridiculous price!

My advice to anyone thinking of buying Nero - look up any number of free alternatives - unless of course you really want all that junkware.....

HAND
