Summary: Great Software
Review: This software installed with no problems. The previous reviewer must have something wrong with his computer. The software has a vastly improved GUI, and does absolutly everything that I could want it to. Much better than Roxio 6.

Summary: Nero 6 Ultra Experience
Review: I'm disappointed.... The installation process failure, and Ahead Software does NOT have any telephone support. I tried their web site but there is no Nero 6 specific help available. The only recourse has been to plead for help via E-Mail. No reponse received yet!!

Summary: Wait until at least June before you buy!
Review: I recieved this product with a Sony DVD RW DRU-710a burner for Christmas. I have all the updates installed on my computer for Windows and for Nero, and I also use Windows XP. So far I've had tremendous problems with this software. It often won't eject CDs after it burns them (they keep spinning), which means you have to shut down your computer by cutting off the power. I really, really, really don't like doing that, but it's the only way to do it as Windows can't properly shut down while this program is failing like this. The customer support guys are very friendly and very swamped with issues so be prepared to wait about a week or so before you can have your issues resolved. The idea behind the program is excellent. However, you would be wise to wait six months until they get the bugs worked out.

Summary: No guarantees this product works
Review: I recently purchased Nero Ultra version 6 for a new Dell Media Center PC. If you are considering Nero 6 be warned that the product only recognizes a limited number of video capture cards. If you plan to capture video, you may find that you are out of luck. Make sure you have a opportunity to try this product in advance or buy from a retailer who will let you return opened software. Otherwise you may find that you have an expensive but useless product on your hands.

Customer support for this product is also very weak. If you run into any problems, be prepared for a lengthy back-and-forth by email. They do not have call centre support, so it is impossible to talk to a real human being about your issue. Good luck.

Summary: Nero 6 ultra edition rock
Review: A bunch of Newbies, who don't even know anything about computer, or Dvd back up, are daring to compare Nero Vs Roxio.

Let me tell you, Roxio is for newbies, elementary software.

Nero, give almost everything from music to video editing, Mpeg4 format, schedule back up etc. you can even shrink an entire DVd 9 to a 4.7 Gb Thanks to Nero Recode 2, which come bundle with Nero 6.

Nero Has so much features, that it will take a lifetime to completely use them all.

For those of you who are saying that nero is too difficult, try the adobe products, and you will never say a word.

final word, Nero Rock Baby!!!

Summary: Buy Roxio and forget about Nero
Review: LOL...I noticed one of the reviewers comparing Roxio to Nero and said Nero was better even though there was a "learning curve" with Nero and Roxio was "easier" to use. Well, there is a "learning curve" and you will learn, as I have, to stay away from Nero and stick with Roxio. When Nero works, its good, but half the time I have a wasted CD and I have to start all over. Many times, when I am burning a CD, it reads a CD as already full, when in actuality, it's not! Roxio's user-friendly interface, perfect CD's everytime, and user support, is what makes it so appealing and what makes for good piece of Software. Nero is nothing but junk and should not be sold in the United States!

Summary: Fails on backups
Review: I tried to do a multiple cd backup. After an hour of cd burning I had a failure. This happens cd burning tends to be tricky but what should not happen is that the program completely gave up. It didn't ask for a new cd to try again with, it just ejected and stopped the program. I could also not elect to try and do a new backup that took into account the succesful burnings from that session.

Summary: The Best Burning Software
Review: Nero 6 is 99.9% effective but has a tendency to corrupt now again simply because it has a vast configuration system. Nero is a core burning tool. This means that several backup packages out there will actually find Nero on install and use it for burning. One example is DVDshrink that runs Nero in the background while backing up DVD movies on DVD-R. I/O errors with these programs, including DVD Decrypter, are usually the result of a configuration problem with Nero. One example is updating your firmware. Sometimes this requires you to reinstall Nero. This problem however is the only bug I have found with Nero. Just on the side - I highly recommend a Plextor external DVD burner for reliability and Imation, Memorex, Verbatim as relatively cheap good second class media (80% or higher burn success rate). DVD is still in its early days of development and some media is garbage so don't blame Nero or the Plextor if you make coasters (half burned DVD-R Discs that are useless to you) with this software. I also recommend a healthy supply of at least 3 DVD-RW Discs for TESTING your burning so that you NEVER make a coaster and waste money. Okay, now back to Nero.

Nero Burning Rom is the real tool in the bundle. It is the most configurable burning tool in the package while Nero Express is for those who do not know a thing about burning and works like a Wizard. A word of advice is to stick with the Rom and learn it without using the Wizard. You can choose from burning 12 CD formats and 6 DVD formats, including several variations of each format. There is not a Disc format you can not Burn with this program. The Plextor burners have great hardware based error correction systems and in conjunction with the Nero software make a perfect burn almost every time. Nero also happens to be extremely fast, if not the fastest out there, however fast is also in terms of how fast your burner is, but the software package requires little to no processing before a 8GB DVD is being pulled onto your HD. You can create ISOs with Nero and even use Nero to open up ISOs so you can read the content (However Daemon Tools does that better). There is an amazing amount of free software out there that uses this burner as their base and rightly so. It is the best burning software out there at this time of writing.

Pros:

- If you can learn tutorials for all types of backups then this and a DVD burner will change your life if you play games and watch movies.
- Solid performance. With good hardware and media almost flawless burns every time.
- Nice configuration. Can even backup your PS2 Games.
- All burning formats.
- About 70mb in size.


Cons:

- Let's face it. DVD burning and backup does have a bit of a learning curve. Read plenty of tutorials that use Nero to do specific backups.
- Corrupts if hardware and other software is updated. Needs to be reinstalled again.
- You really need a top of the range machine to backup a DVD in less than 2 hours.

Summary: Look Carefully At What You Order - Deceptive
Review: I mistakenly thought because the title of this page was Nero 6 Ultra, that I would only be offered that product. So, I was lured by the low prices of what I thought was the product I was looking for. I paid a little over six bucks (including shipping) for Nero 6 OEM. Now I've got two copies. My bad, but it is a mistake that is easy to make. So, be careful with your order.

Anyone want Nero 6 OEM ... cheap?
