"Nero7 - Bug Riddled and Slow" on by TJSmith3
Pros: Fancy Box, Lots of promises
Cons: Extremely Unusable at Purchase Time (retail)
Summary: This is not a product... This is a marketing gimmick to get boxes on shelves ahead of the competition.
In my haste to finish a project, I decided to try Nero7. The new version of Wave Editor crashes frequently. (Transcoding a wav to wma, Attempting hum/click/noise filters on a file, and while saving.)
There are no help files or manuals! The tutorials did not teach me what I wanted to know, and the help files all point to a non-existant web link. I presume that web link will be available about Oct 26, but right now this is a 95% useless product.
The only success I've had was with Nero Vision which was able to successfully create a DVD for me. On the down side, I was completely unable to save the project! (The File->Save menu would not bring up a dialog box, neither would the prominant "Save" button at the bottom of every page. When exiting I was prompted to save, and yet nothing happened when I clicked Yes.) Using the Export to Hard Drive function, I was able to get a DVD format directory on my drive for later. Oddly, it took 15 minutes to write the project to the HD, while it had only taken 3 minutes to burn a DVD from the same menu.
The Burn to Multiple Drives feature is nifty, but I suspect it is causing extra burn failures, even at low speed. This has not been confirmed.
The Support website with it's "VIP Support" forum is apparently useless too. I submitted a nice report to explain a very repeatable problem and have not heard back from them. Even the non-VIP Support Forum has an email auto-reply saying "Thank You" and such.
Tragic! Definitely Tragic! -
"HUGE Disappointment" on by glowery58
Pros: Can't find any yet
Cons: Bugs everywhere you look, slow as dirt
Summary: After using 6.5 for quite awhile and finding it very stable and functional, I decided to plop down my $100 for the latest 7.0. What an incredible disappointment. I don't think I've ever purchased a software product with so many bugs. Nearly every applet that I tried crashed after just a few keystrokes. The Nero Home feature is so incredibly slow. I waited several seconds for some sort of visual feedback after clicking on an item. It also wouldn't recognize my ATI AIW tuner. It did manage to import about 30 MP3 files in the span of about 10 minutes! I happen to have about 15000 files on my PC! There's no help whatsoever online or in the "help" manuals. There's no updates yet. How can CNet give this product such a high rating is beyond me.
Updated
After uninstalling this product, my computer blue-screened repeatedly on rebooting. At one point my RAID controller reported a "corrupt" drive! Only after rebuilding my RAID and rebooting into safe mode was I able to perform a system restore and eliminate the problem that the Nero software created. BEWARE! -
"This product doesn't work" on by tdelaney
Pros: none that i know of
Cons: not tested, full of bugs, lousy support, no cust service
Summary: After using Roxio for years I bought this. The product quite simply does not work, won't rcognise my dvd recorder, although all the other products I have do so with no problems. Also I get popups in german, blank pop ups and many many other bugs. I guess the saved on testing. Support was very slow and completely useless, they send me a script to run that had bugs in it, then gave up. Customer service couldn't be bothered to reply to my emails. BUYERS BEWARE!!!

"Nero 7 a Disgrace!" on by fatbugger
Pros: Vision Express converts mp4 to dvd better
Cons: Everything else sucks
Summary: A few days ago I burned a 3.4 Gb dvd movie in 8 minutes using Nero 6. Today, using Nero 7, I am burning the same movie at supposedly 8x.
1hr 13 minutes have already passed and it has only reached 64% verification. The screen keeps freezing until Freemem Pro kicks in and all other applications take ages to start. What criminals these people are selling this cr.. rubbish. -
"BUYER BEWARE... NERO FLAT OUT DON'T CARE!" on by Bones007
Pros: NONE THAT I CAN SEE
Cons: PROGRAM HANG EVERYTIME... NO RESPONSE FROM NERO
Summary: STAY AS FAR AWAY FROM THIS PIECE OF &^%$#@ AS POSSIBLE. SO MANY BUGS AND PROGRAM HANGS... YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT BUGS, I GOT SOME BUGS FOR YOU NERO BUT YOUR'RE TOO CHICKEN *&^%$#@ TO EVEN ANSWER MY EMAILS. SHAME ON YOU AND YOUR WRETCHED COMPANY... LOOK UP CUSTOMER SERVICE IN THE DICTIONARY... YOU MIGHT LEARN SOMETHING, ALTHOUGH THAT'S HIGHLY DOUBTFUL.
