Nero Platinum Suite 2020 for Windows

User Reviews

• Trial is not complete, so how do you know about it?

  5/3/2016

  Pros

  Versatile software

  Cons

  I own several versions of Nero, but in order to buy the last version, one needs to know how good this product is by burning large Blu-Ray files, but the trial version just lets burning 100MB, which is not enough. So I'm not going to buy a software which I don't know its quality by burning large files.

  Summary

  Trial version should unlock all the features of Nero Platinum 2016, another way I cannot buy this product.

• Platinum 2016 Very poor Technical help

  Dave from Loose10/21/2015

  Pros

  Most of this version works ok

  Cons

  Platinum 2016 in my windows 10 system, with new compatible Hauppauge Tuner device and driver, will not allow me to configure the TV tuner. So no channel search possible. I have uninstalled and clean reinstalled but Capture will not work. Nero are steadfastly NOT RESPONDING.

  Summary

  I have been a Nero user for years but with the problem I`m having with Platinum 2016 and the LACK OF RESPONSE from Nero I am finished with their software FOR GOOD. There are some very good Audio, Video and Photo editing suites out there as well as a very famous TV recording device manufacturer.I recommend you try them

• Buyer Beware

  powermacvt7/14/2015

  Pros

  seems to be full featured

  Cons

  Will not rip commercial DVDs for backup purposes. If purchased from Nero.com you'll have a hard time getting a refund. Seems to be overly complicated and difficult to navigate.

  Summary

  My wife and I have 600+ DVDs and we want to be able to take our collection with us when we travel in our RV. Solution - Portable NAS system with media server. I purchased 2 copies of NERO Platinum 2015 so my wife and I could begin the arduous process of backing up our collection only to find out that NERO does not support ripping commercial DVDs. I have to think "whats the point of advertising ripping DVDs and Blu-ray disks?" If it can only rip non-commercial DVDs what's the point of even including or promoting that feature? I've run into this type of incompatibility with other software companies and I've never had an issue getting a refund. Not Nero. They say that I should have downloaded the trial software first. So I've given them one final chance to do the right thing before opening a dispute with my credit card company. Hopefully this note will prevent others finding themselves in the same place I am right now.

• If you use the Trial Version U can Upgrade for $29.99

  maxb1/7/2015

  Pros

  If you use the Trial Version U can Upgrade for $29.99 to Full Version! When you sign on theirs an option to upgrade for $54 bucks. I didn't do that but when I tried to use a feature not in the trial version, it gave me an option to upgrade for $29.99. I thought it was a mistake or something, but it wasn't. You get a Blue ray DVD Player in it, with the Media Center, Burning Rom, and Nero Video for editing Videos which is the easy and best way to edit videos. you also get a video converter. This has everything you need. I paid 34 bucks for my DVD software alone Power DVD, I'm going to send it back I don't need it anymore!

  Cons

  It lets you edit video in the free version, but only allows you to output a 30 second clip. Lucy it lets you save your work, it doesn't tell you until you try to export the video at the end! I was pissed but saved my hours of work and was able to open and export when I brought it for $29.99

  Summary

  If you looking to buy an advance video editor its worth the cost alone to upgrade from this free trial at $29.99, but with the DVD Blueray player and burning software, and all the other software it comes with, most of which don't function in this free trial, this trial is a God send, you don't have to pay the $129.99 asking price, if you use it!<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Apr 9, 2015<p/>Beware trial version now includes open candy! You have to use it and put your software key in it if your buy it! I had to reinstall program, but now the trial version has open candy in it, lucky I found a copy of original trial version on backup disk to use instead!

• Nero 15 Platinum = GARBAGE!

  Spelljunkie1/5/2015

  Pros

  I uninstalled it so it is no longer polluting my system! And NEVER will again!

  Cons

  Nero 15 Platinum is absolute garbage! I went back to using my 2009 VERSION of DVDFab to burn and watch DVD's and Windows Media Player to burn and listen to music! Nero must have had focus groups to decide how much can they screw up their easy to use software, make it so it no longer auto-opens anything (namely .vob files for me), and always leads to a ridiculous opening menu that you have to memorize what the programs do because there is no description or the descriptions are so similar - you just have to cross your fingers and click one and it will likely be the wrong one (wasted too much time clicking around). I would reinstall my pirated version of Nero 9 as even that works so much better, but I uninstalled EVERYTHING Nero related and even deleted the emails because I don't want this garbage polluting my system! Sad when 2009 software outperforms Nero 2015 Platinum... Anyone who buys this is a fool, including me - consider yourself warned, I wish someone would have warned me!

  Summary

  In case you missed it: Nero 15 Platinum = GARBAGE! Without a doubt the WORST software I have ever purchased!

• I will never look at Nero software again

  klunky--200811/3/2014

  Pros

  Excellent propaganda, full rich claims, lovely pictures of their software. Endless claims of "how easy" and "so powerful".

  Cons

  Their tutorials are useless. They never give you any idea of what the software components actually do, just some "details" as though you were born with an intimate knowledge of their software. They use jargon as thought it were English. For example, what does "Recode" mean? You will never be told by any explanation. Which would be okay if you could tell from opening the software and understanding the plan. No matter what video extension I gave it, it just rejected the video without explanation. And somehow all they seem to be focused on is burning DVD's;. If you want to do anything else, forget it Don't even dream about converting and then saving to your hard drive. Yes, you can save to some smartphone or tablet or DVD but not to a file. They have you and your needs all figured out but you had better go along with their plan for you or you are out of luck. Maybe, just maybe, if you are constantly burning DVD's, this software might help.

  Summary

  I made a mistake. I am trying to reverse the purchase. There is freeware and shareware that does it all better and cheaper than Nero. AVS does some of it without all the hype.

• EPIC EPIC Fail!!

  Roket0016/23/2014

  Pros

  Don't know don't care.

  Cons

  Unethical business practices takes away from a product that has a spotty history throughout versions. Finally now with the rollout of 2014 the breach of contract in my opinion renders this product unworthy of any money.

  Summary

  I used free versions since before 2000. in the mid 2000's I bought Nero 6 Ultra (the what is now Platinum everything edition). It worked well with occasional glitches that were addressed by updates. Then 7 came out so I "upgraded" to that and never a poorer program have I owned. I removed it and ran 6 since then and ate the loss of $$. I figured after many years they ironed things out so I bought from scratch Nero 10 Platinum with all the "theme packs" and everything. I upgraded to 12 Platinum when it came out and then they released a pack for Vision called Vision Xtra. It was dl as part of Platinum as it came with Platinum. It CAME WITH PLATINUM TO PLATINUM BUYERS AS PART OF PLATINUM THAT I BOUGHT. BOUGHT. Now that 2014 came out my last "update" rendered Vision Xtra no longer operable with the themes with a message "expired". Vision Xtra was NOT a "subscription service" I BOUGHT it as PART of PLATINUM which was a MAIN reason I PAID the xtra $$ for Vison Xtra! They want to make it a pay extra now that comes with Platinum 2014 as part of it. But if I want mine to work I HAVE TO "upgrade" to 2014!?? You see the update disabled functionality of xtra in Nero 12 after the fact of the money I SPENT TO BUY IT. I called tech support and it says pay over a $1.00 a minute and no guarantees of success and can we have your credit card number to connect the call? SAY WHAT? So this is what you pay a sawbuck for. NERO attitude now apparently is shaddup and give us your money. There are NO telephone numbers for and contacting of Nero save the one that tries to soak you for as much $$ as a pay for sex call service! So buy Nero at your OWN risk people!
