Nero 8 or Nero 8 Essentials or Nero 8 Ultra Edition Enhanced or Nero 8 Premium Reloaded… is the latest version of the most popular burning software for Windows.
Took 2 restarts to install Nero… since it had to remove Nero 7 first before proceeding any further!
& as with any other software, Nero still “forces” you to install search toolbars - so don’t just click “Next” blindly!
Nero 8 compiles all the improvements from previous editions of Nero 7 such as Blu-ray support, HD-DVD support & Windows Vista support, but all in a new look.
The overall layout hasn’t changed but most icons have been “vistarized.”
Burning hasn’t changed a bit since Nero 7, but thankfully it didn’t corrupt my DVD - that’s why I moved to Nero 8 since the last DVD I burnt with Nero 7 got corrupted!
Another “major” improvement is the addition of a Nero intro animated ring when starting up the applications.
Wave Editor hasn’t changed except for the colour of the wave… (from blue to grey).Don’t forget to turn off Nero Scout… & by mistake don’t even open up Nero StartSmart… it’ll bring up the Nero Media Indexer that will take up 100% CPU.
Time to look for a new burning software… :P
