Editor's review of Nero 8 Ultra Edition

Nero 8 Ultra 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; also, 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 is still Nero's core; welcome shortcuts for burning and ripping CDs and DVDs are now accessible from the new StartSmart GUI, which is now adorned with a programmable 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 8 Ultra 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 Ultra 8'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.

  Nero 8 Ultra Edition

  I'll stick with my "Nero 7.10.12"!

  by: The Sports Fan on 14-Jan-2008 11:37:48 AM

  Pros: Nero has always been a great disk burning softwa, until "Nero 8" My version of "Nero" is compatible with Vista" and I'm very happy I saved the download. I bought a new hard drive and decided to try "Nero 8". What a mistake it was. Oh, it installed fine but I had burn process failures over and over. I got sick of wasting my disks so i got rid of this crap and installed my older version and bingo, not one burn failure. My activation code for 7 is almost 18 months old and still works. If you can find a download, and i have a link for 7,10.12, use it because it remains a great program that works fine on a "Vista" system.

  Cons: What have they done to a once great disk burning software? Get a grip and fix this junk, please!

  Good for burning CD/DVDs but very hard to understand.

  by: JoyceNgo on 21-Dec-2007 12:05:21 PM

  Pros: It works well when burning CD and DVDs which is what it does, however it has many flaws.

  Cons: It hasn't crashed on me at all, but I have it on my laptop and it really does seem cloggy and hard to understand. The size of this program is enormous, and the menus aren't simple (although they look nice.) It takes a while to find stuff you need it to do, and it DOES use a lot of memory.
