Great CD/DVD Authoring Suite!
Pros: HUGE wealth of features for a consumer program, easy to figure out, free updates add functionality
Cons: A little buggy at times, interface could use some updating
User Rating:

Terrible for authoring a DVD
Pros: The exit button works
Cons: It installs without errors
My wife and I recorded several mpeg videos with our Sony camera. The videos were added to a DVD and burned. The audio is off on a couple of DVD's - it sounds like people are talking in a cave. On other DVD's, the audio is out of sync with the movement of the persons mouth.
On a couple of other DVD's, they will not play in some home DVD players. These same DVD's that will not play in the home player, there is no audio track while playing in the computer.
On some DVD's there are gray pixels all over the TV screen. These pixels are huge, there must be a hundred of them.
No matter what I do, I can not get a simple DVD to burn with mpeg's recorded with a digital camera.

the best burning software ever!
Pros: superb burning sofware.
Cons: nothing i can think of.
i burn tons, literally, tons of dvdrs (verbatim 16x dvdrs & Plestor PX-716UF) and never had any problem at all. It never crashes.
i am not sure why many users are having difficulties with nero and give it a ONE.

Waste of money - don't buy it
Pros: Haven't found any
Cons: Too many to list
I don't know what the reviewer was thinking when the praises of this software were written. I have not had a successful burn yet. I won't even mention the problems I have had with my computer freezing up due to this crappy software.
My advice is to SAVE YOUR MONEY unless you like no technical support, no guidance, and a ton of frustration. If that is your goal, then this software is for you.

DVD video burning needs improvement. Continuous upgrades offer false hope.
Pros: Photo slide show works great
Cons: A lot of problems burning video. Editing difficult
I make more coasters than DVD'S.
It is difficult to determine the cause of a failed burn.
Video editing in not user friendly.
I would uninstall the program and cut my losses, but the photo slide show burns a good DVD that works in most players.

Works great for Cd's
Pros: InCD has been above what I expected.
Cons: Once every 4 months 1 InCD goes to read only
Was having multiple problems with Roxio EZCD Creator on a couple of my computers and was glad I switched. Going to wait 6 to 9 months for Nero 7 to get the bugs worked out and then I'll probably switch my computers over.

Don't waste your money.
Pros: Lot's of features, if they worked correctly.
Cons: Too many to mention.
I downloaded the update packs, and it just went down the toilet from there. My DVD burning speed went down to a crawl, takes me 3hrs to burn a DVD. While editing if I add any additional audio, the sound is completely distorted to a point that you can't hear. I tried updating, re-installing, using Nero without updates, contacted the non-existant support. All of this whitout success. I had absolutely no problems while using Sonique My DVD, or even the free Windows Movie Maker.
Comp. Specs. 3.4Ghz, 1Gb Ram, GeForce 256MB, Win XP.

I keep comming back to this program
Pros: Updated often. Nice video editing for the price. Lots of flexibilty
Cons: The wave editor is a bit lacking.
In my opinion, you don't need documentation. If you do, you can download it in pdf and burn it to a disk! - or view the online help.

RIP-OFF, please try another product.
Pros: AT LEAST I GOT A REBATE
Cons: Under-developed waste of money. Few unique features
I have more functionality with windows media player combined with the bundled software of my DVD-burner than I have with Nero's hard-drive occupying $79 piece of garbage. Does not handle popular vidoe files well. Does not record live TV well. Does not rip CD's well.
Overall---it sucks. Try Ulead.

Video Editing not up to Nero Standards!
Pros: Love Nero Audio, Free Upgrades
Cons: Poor Editor, Non Intuitive Interface, Poor OEM Version
Next I bought the 6.0 Ultra Version and upgraded that to 6.6.
The workspace is very structured and non-intuitive.
I spent several hours trying to edit TV video. Trim function (from end) mentioned but not functional. Cut function (from middle) difficult. After finding the commercial, you must re-find it with the cut start maker, then find the cut stop marker, then cut. There is no "undo" for errors.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY OR TIME
Pros: Can't think of any
Cons: Software and tech support
Tech support via email is free; however, tech support via phone is $1.29/minute (this must be where they make their money).
Tech support did not resolve the issue.

Overly complex, poor documentation and help
Pros: Decent CD burner
Cons: Poor documentation, overly complex, over reliance on wizards, other components sloppy
A lot of reliance on wizards that box you in on some of the packages. Even the burner software seems to try to know better what you want than you do.
Bugs in the Nerovision Express and in NeroMix. Video exporting formats limited. Frustrating to use - I went back to WindowsMovieMaker.
Frequent updates available on their web site, but involve very large downloads - complete packages, not incremental builds. (That's fine on highspeed, but I am sure glad I am not on dial-up.)
Package looks better on paper than what is delivered - I guess we get what we pay for. (It's like we are back in the early 90's with featuritis driving competition between packages - who has the most boxes checked off?)
The CD/DVD burner is a decent program, but if all you want is a burner look for something cheaper. The rest of the utilities have been more frustrating than they are worth.
I am still looking for a decent, reasonably priced DV editor.

Great, reliable software, though a little complicated
Pros: It can copy onto most formats, compatible with many dvd burners, frequent updates. Ability to recode into Divx and mpeg4. Plenty of features, though some may say too many. Very frequent updates though again this can be seen as a bad point as you never see
Cons: I can remember Nero being an extremely easy to use program that could copy everything without any hassle.. however ahead has added far too many features to the software and it has become to complicated too use. Just when you think you know how to do it, s

Try getting customer support
Pros: Some nice features for setting up DVD and music CD ... when it works.

A virus disguised as an app
Pros: I'll admit - the launcher is cool. CD burning is fast.
Cons: This is an overpiced, feature limited product. Worse, on my machine (2.4GHz P4), it acts more like a destructive virus than an app - trashed my drive - as reported elsewhere. MPEG4, AAC, who needs this stuff? FIX YOUR BUGS and pick up the phone!

The WORST Software Disappointment

Easy CD Creator came with my burner, but i wish it would have included Nero
Pros: Comprehensive. I can fit my entire HS football season on 2 DVDs with much better quality than that which is available on Easy CD/DVD Creator. Love the Custom bitrate and Dolby Audio DVD options. Nero Recode is fast.
Cons: Occasionally freezes; NeroVision Express 2 is not the best NLE, but it's a very customizable DVD creation program for the price.

Burns my dvd's fine
Pros: I use this program just to burn dvd's. It works great, has not failed yet. It does not seem to bog my machine down, and I haven't noticed anything unusual since I installed it. I uninstalled it off another machine, and it uninstalls cleanly.
Cons: It is said a number of the applications bundled with this package are troublesome. Personally I don't know since I don't use them. If you just want to burn dvd's, you can't go wrong with this product.

Promising suite
Pros: Nice blend of applications to cover most if not all of user's CD/DVD/audio/video needs. Inclusion of MiniDVD option is fantastic if you don't have a DVD-burner. A few more bug fixes and upgrades, and Nero 6 will be a superb suite.
Cons: Nero Vision Xpress 2 MPEG2 encoder on MiniDVD makes bad video output. MiniDVD CD not recognised by my home DVD player (Pioneer). Some basic options in DVD menu creation (i.e. deleting background images) are difficult or non-existent.

The Emperor's new clothes-some borrowed
Pros: The core application - Nero Burning Rom still reigns supreme. NeroVison Express and the audio editor have seen lots of nice improvements as well.
Cons: Too much other bloat. In an attempt to compete against Roxio, Ahead has licensed a bunch of other software to bundle in with Nero. InCD was formerly Prassi abCD. ShowTime is PowerDVD with a few mods (look at the right-click menu and the preferences if you

Would you really rather have Roxio?
Pros: Amazing number of features. Easy to configure interface (EVERYTHING you need is right there!) Same Nero quality and stability. Hasn't crashed yet! And I've tested every feature on XP and Win 2000 Pro. You know they'll update monthly to fix any bugs.
Cons: Support is email only. So if you need to be hand-held through software use and installation, then you'll just have to cry until they return your emails. But if you actually READ the manuals and hit online forums like cdfeaks.com, cdrlabs.com, dslreports

Cons: some minor bug but they will disappear in the next update

the most complete program available
Pros: Nero 6 is basically the same as 5, with the "Ultra" suite just adding extra utilities on top of Burning Rom. It has a better interface though, and a few more features. The lack of packet writing software is a GOOD thing, and the user has complete control
Cons: The fact that Nero is so complete perplexes timid users, who then write negative reviews.
