Nero launches Nero 7

Nero, leaders in digital media technology, unveiled on October 10th, the much anticipated Nero 7 software package. The all-in-one integrated digital media and home entertainment software solution now delivers 18 applications in one powerful suite, including the addition of Nero Home, a new TV and PC multimedia management and distribution system that provides users with quick and easy access to all digital media files from the comfort of their living rooms using a remote control.

"Nero 7 is the culmination of innovative engineering, end-user requests and demands, and industry direction and convergence," said Richard Lesser, CEO Nero AG, "We have hit the nail on the head with the addition of Nero Home to Nero 7: users no longer need to be in front of their PCs to view and listen to their media files; they can access their entire libraries in front of the TV."



In addition, Nero 7 includes a number of enhancements and interface redesigns to familiar and popular Nero applications. Users now have the option of customized installation, meaning they can decide to install or not to install each application courtesy of Windows Installer Technology.

  Well I gotta say Nero has got a very strong foothold in the market with their software... I have not used the software for DVD Burning as of yet but my experience with their software in regards to creating and backing up CD's is excellent...
  
  When I build my next pc i will make sure i get Nero in there and make it the main application... The beauty of Nero is as they said the ease one can use it... It does not have any age requirments ad long as u can follow the steps, u should b sweet :)

  All In One is enough to put me off any product.
  Usually means each part of the "All" is compromised.
  I prefer a Player that just plays media and burning software that just burns but does it well.

  Just to let all know that Nero 7 is not a free upgrade from Nero 6, so expect to shell out some dough.

  when you say bugs, what exactly do you mean is wrong with the program?

  12.10.2005 13:27 #12

• BURN-MAN

  JESUS Criminy Giblets!!!! AKA Holy shit!!!! Thanks soooooooo much GiantMike!! I was waiting for SOMEONE to ask this freaking question. Most of you are like "sheeple"(look it up)...you take one guy's statement,"duh....it's realy buggy...duh." If you had any sense at all you would know two things (noobs included.....Christ I hate that word noobs, who the hell worked out the standards and where the hell is the line drawn on exactly how much or how little you need to know in order to be labled a "noob".) One, ANY software can be a little buggy...your all using a form of MS or Linux and there is no freakin way you can tell me or any other level-headed person in these forums that you have an OS that is free of bugs. Two, a company like Ahead/Nero Digital is gonna release a piece of software that just may contain SOME bugs....just like the OS your using :)
  My point is that whether or not you got this 3 to 4 weeks prior to ship date (me included), or you just have not found the resources to skeef it on-line through some lame torrent site, you have not had it in your dirty little hands long enough to be so bold as to label it as "buggy"...I have ripped, made movies, slideshows, mp3 cds, data dvds and a shit load more than I care to discuss with Nero 7, and ya know what....either you have a shitty copy, or your a noob calling others noobs because you can't operate simple fucking authoring program!
  There, I'm done. If you can get it...get it. Seven is a lucky number it seems with Nero, I have used the living hell out of it and it has'nt faultered once.
  And here come the flames!!!

  stop ranting you moron
  
  it still doesn't change the fact that they aren't showing you details when you are burning the cd/dvd....I mean it's similar to when u copy something from one folder to another lol it shows data traveling over to a cd or something like that...yeah...Nero 7...just sucks...6.6.x.x...is great

  BURN-MAN
  
  Regardless of your opinion, which you have made more than clear. You are gonna have to tame the language on here or your time will be very short.
  
  Personally I know what your saying, it obviously does work, and it will end up being a very useful tool no doubt. But we still have 6.6 which works very well.
  
  People here are giving their opinion as to whether other users should upgrade or not, most people will end up doing exactly what they feel like regardless of what they read here, and there will be plenty of people who don't use this forum also using the software and reporting back any bugs found.
  
  You are only using 1 version of operating system with your particular hardware, others will have different set ups, so could experience a totally unique set of problems you will never encounter.
  
  To everyone else that has reported bugs, it would be useful to get the info on what bugs you have seen, and what setup you have, otherwise I agree with BURN-MAN, on the point that making general statements helps no one at all.

  I am on Burn-man's side simply because STILL not one person has given an explanation as to what is wrong. I haven't tried the software yet, but all of you saying it has "bugs" aren't going to stop me. I'll prob download it tonight and see for myself.

  Will Nero 7 automatically kick in for the burn cycle at the end of a rip/compress with DVD Shrink the way 6 did? I'm curious as my current computer has Nero 6 and Shrink and it is so convenient to pop in a blank, start Shrink on a file previously ripped with Decrypter and just let it run through its cycle all the way to a burned DVD without having to swap programs to burn. I'm looking at getting a new CPU in the Spring, and I'd hate to lose that functionality if 7 is the only version available and if it doesn't support the piggyback with Shrink. Anybody know if it still works?

  Is it true some folks are still using Windows 95 until Bill Gates gets all the bugs out??? <G>
  
  What can be a bug for one might be for some… none!
  
  In other words isn't that what beta versions are for... to get out most of the bugs? Some of us will try new things first before most of the crowd and others will wait, just like those still using Windows 98se or Windows XP SP1 instead of SP2. Different configurations as well can make a difference for others. I like what one posted above... instead of just bashing a product if you state there are bugs, enlighten us as to what those bugs are first with actual examples. This will lend fact to your opinion instead of just an idle comment. :)

  I am an unashamed noob (wasted my youth on copious amounts of sex, drugs and rock n'roll instead of learning how to use a computer)as I bought my first computer two years ago and am still learning the basics let alone all the advanced stuff that so many of you guys are familiar with.I look to forums like this for guidance and generally find it invaluable. I am about to upgrade to a new system and wanted to adapt my current one into a media pc for streaming avi's etc. so on the face of it Nero 7 seems like it would be perfect for me, so as burn man so eloquently put it could you experienced guys report on actual pros and cons rather than unspecified bugs that may or may not be present so noobs like me know what the heck you are talking about. And as a lowly noob thanks for all your guides and forum feedback it really helps us learners a lot.Thanks

  It just gets me a little nervous when a lot of people are seeing different bugs and crashes. I know for myself a stable Nero is neseccary and it is my most used program by far. Any instability would not be acceptable. The current copy of Nero does eveything i ask for and I can honestly say I have never had a crash. It is fast, efficent, and does everything I need it to. Why mess with a product that is not their yet? In time I know it will be...just a time factor that is all.

  Nero is getting to be nothing but a joke! Hit the nail on the head? PLEASE...
  
  I bought the retail Ultra 6 back in June and have been having nothing but problems in creating chapters and the images that go on those chapters. I have been in constant email contact with Nero over this, they have confirmed it is a problem and have done nothing to solve it.
  
  On top of that, since it hasn't worked properly since day ONE, Nero *refuses* to provide the upgrade to version 7. They have NO idea of what support is. By the way, checking leaked versions of the new 7, and the same problem exists.
  
  Do the other things work ok? Shrug... I only use it for the DVD side... but I can tell you that I am less than impressed with their (cough) dedication to valued customers and IMHO they haven't a CLUE what providing proper support really means.

• XPimpster

  For me, When i used Nero 7 before it was released, It had a a bug taht i taught waz serious because it changed all the file extension icons. Also... i coudnt even use Nero Burning ROM. The only thing i was able to use was Nero Start Smart, which is a good program, but personaly.. i like using Nero Burning ROM. When i saw taht it didnt work. I tried unstalling it. But still when i did that, everytime i rebooted my PC, i got a little Promt saying "Nero Backitup expired". So i had to do Window Restore allll the way back to September 20th. Then i got all my file extension icons back and everything.
  
  I believe that Nero 7 is a good program.. but using the Beta version just messed up my computer. I also belive that Nero 6.6.X.X is an also good version of Nero and i love them both. To me, Nero 7 has a lot of stuff to it, and it changes your computer around alot. If you really love what Nero gives you, i recommend you to get Nero 7. But if you just like Nero and just use it and your familar with using a computer and burining stuff and you like the way your computer is rite now... stay with Nero 6.X.X.X.
  
  Nice posting to you guyz.

  Nero just keeps adding more and more bloatware to The ahead Nero Suite dont they? adding more useless junk users will never use or need despite their claim end users requested those features. wouldnt be so bad IF you could remove those features you arent planning on ever using completely (yes custom install allows you to remove some features but still leaves in alot of junk).
  
  I had the leaked Nero 7 Retail {or so was claimed retail} installed, tested it came across too many bugs and removed it. Which wasnt what turned me off to Nero 7 ; that was the bloatware's doing.
  
  I'ma gunna keep with 6.6.x.x for now and hope Nero doesnt pull a Roxio - bog down their product so much users literally abandon it

  i've been using it for a week now, admittedly i only use it to burn cds and dvds but i haven't encountered any problems in those departments yet, in fact it burns to the dvd about 10 % quicker than Nero 6 which i find strange.

  i'm personally probably gonna stay with 6.6.0.16 for good as i only burn audio/data cd's and standard 'dvd-video' compilations with Nero, so for me i could've stayed with 6.6.0.0 even. I only really went with all the updates up to 6.6.0.16 as i help out in the Nero forum, but as i mainly help out on logfiles i don't need to go 7 to keep helping ppl. just my five pence.
  
  nero 7 is probably gonna get more bloaty and buggy, but then so does every bit if software/OS by everyone else.
  
  Windows 98SE is a mighty fine OS by the way, some ppl stay with old stuff, just as some ppl like to have everything 'bleeding edge'.
  
  i only recently ditched 98SE, no real reason, i've just grown to like XP more

  I have been using an evaluation copy of 7 now for a few days and given it a good workout. It seems to be fine. I agree with burn-man to a certain extent, I get really sick of people throwing "bug" around so loosely. A true bug needs to be reproduced every time you try to execute a certain function, and more importantly, tech support needs to be able to reproduce the error before the developers will even look at it. If you can reproduce the error, with a legitimate copy then do us all a favor and report it to Nero instead of whining about how crappy their software is.

  Wow some heated points here and creaky put it very well indeed. I have mostly been a Roxio user but I got an eval copy of Nero 7 I haven't experienced any bugs as of yet and all I have really been using is NeroVisionExpress for DVD's. Why? because I like Roxio better for data, music and VCD creation on the other hand Roxio's dvd engine is slower and quality is weak, Nero on VCD quality is weak so you could say I have the best of both worlds now. Nero and Roxio have added lots of bloat options that either I have a better freeware program or other prefered software. I use MS Digital Image Pro for my photo's. I would be interested in any bugs people have found as honestly this is my first time using Nero but its been almost a month and is doing a very good job on DVD's. NUFF SAID"

  I have fought with Nero 7 and last night just uninstalled it. I would burn a audio cd and it would about 7 seconds into every song sound like it would be skipping. The burn was fine as far as cd-dvd speeed was concerned and even plex tools tests that i ran came out fine. Tested it on its own ide chain as i thought that was the problema and still sounded like it was skipping occasionaly. I was on my second burner a 740 plextor and a 716a plextor and it did it on both. Worse on the 740. I just thought i would let everyone know that in my professional opinion it was nero7 causing me all this greif on a simple burn of an audio cd. Nero 7 gets no love on my system until a couple revisions are made, maybe.

• danterl

  i had the same skipping problem. It's an awful bug 'cause I wasn't able to notice it in several burnings, It made me waste almost 12 Cdroms. I would burn a audio cd and it would about 7 seconds into every song sound like it would be skipping... :( too bad

• TroyM

  when adding a song to burn with Nero 7 does any of y'alls songs skip, or start like a second after it should? Mines been doing that. Is that a bug or just me?

  2.11.2005 10:22 #48

• borhan9

  @TroyM
  
  It really depends in how fast ur burning the music at? 4x should b the max u burn at no fasrwe then u will have erros of skippin etc... If u are burinig that slow and still havin the problem it could b one of 2 other things.
  
  1. The media u are using.
  2.The program has a bug.

  Ok well thanks I guess I'm not trying to be a jerk but burning music at 4x is not a fix and rather ridiculous been burning at 24 x + for years why in the hell would I start burning at 4x again? And yes the software has a bug or it was just the release I had as it was a torrent release and not official copy. One more reason to purchase software you use alot.
  
  To add to the real purpose of this thread ---
  I believe the whole issue with my skipping was ide drivers on my nforce3 chipset i neglected to notice that i was using the standard windows ones and not invidia ones for the chipset, so any body with this issue should check thier ide controller drivers.
  
  Just my two cents!

  3.11.2005 06:16 #50

• TroyM

  Thanks djeon. I thought that sounded a little too much. I was just too lazy to say something about it. Don't worry, i didnt believe him. The songs skip when i listen to them through Nero and Nero eXpress. and how could burning at low speed help that? I'm sure it's a bug, but i'm with Nero 6 until the next update or 2.

  7.11.2005 08:14 #51

• djeon

  Like I said check your ide drivers as that was my problem but yeah other than that just stay tuned for a release or two.

  7.11.2005 13:25 #52

• TroyM

  djeon
  
  how do i check me drivers?

  11.11.2005 04:26 #53

• djeon

  In the device manager look under ide/ atapi controllers and maybe delete them and then reboot, it should attempt to reinstall them.
  Also knowing what chipset you have and motherboard is a plus if you built the pc yourself.
  If it is a namebrand not as important but the correct drivers should be on thier website.

  Hi, guys! I've been using Nero 7 for a couple of days and one of the problems I've been facing is when I drag mp3 audio tracks to burn an audio CD. Sometimes I like to edit the track by right-clicking the selected track and then choosing Audio Editor, which used to open the Nero Wave Editor. Only this new version doesn't do that! I can't choose this option on the track (even though it shows there). Any ideas on how I can solve this? Thanks a bunch!

  Nero releases a major update to its Nero 6 Ultra Edition suite
  Posted by Seán Byrne on 12 November 2005 - 21:05 - Source: Nero 6 Updates
  
  pizzadude, kdshapiro and wsaintcr all used our news submit to let us know that Nero, a well known optical disc recording suite has just released a major update to its Nero 6 Ultra Edition, including the addition of new features. According to their website, to get the Nero PowerPack, the first two packages must be downloaded. Apart from the addition of a Yahoo! Toolbar, there is no mention of what else is new in this version, since no changelog has been released at this time.
  
  This major update covers the release of Nero 6.6.0.18 and its Nero Digital encoding suite version 3.1.0.21. Both of these include the Yahoo! Toolbar by default, however the download & installation of this 3rd party add-on is optional.
  
  Until Nero releases a changelog for this major update, the only way to find out what has been updated or added is to download and install at least their first two update packages. These can be obtained from their download page here. Feel free to discuss about Nero on our Nero & InCD Burning Software Sub-Forum.

• Reasons?

  For those who just burn images to disc, 6 is great, but Nero 7 is very powerful and has some sweet encoding updates.
  
  It'll handle H.264 for Blu-Ray, and burn it o blu-ray, I think we can see who Nero is adopting.
  
  The encoding feature for PSP will be nice.

  I just used the newst Nero on my g/fs notebook and my songs still skip. Seems like ill be with Nero 6 for awhile.

• Reasons?

  Nero is just a little overkill for that dude, try itunes, AAC 256kpbs VBR, it'll all come out the same if that's the quality you use Nero to rip to anyhow.
  
  Itunes is free too, and has the best library management system out there, I hate apple with a passion, spit on the fairies. But I'm also honest.

  clean uninstall Nero 7 then install the update ( 7.0.1.2). enter your own serial again. and it will load, i burned 5 discs with the Nero update and not one skiped.

  jalaneme, I downloaded that version from neros site. I actually burned the CD from the Trial version...So i really don't know whats going on with it. Nero 6 is till rolling fine for me.

  15.11.2005 04:45 #63

• jalaneme

  i think i know why, i am using Nero ultra 7, not premium which is where the problem is. so use the upgrade version of Nero 7 ultra not premium. and i just use Nero burning rom.

  15.11.2005 05:02 #64

• TroyM

  So your saying that the possible bug is in the premium? I'll try to find a key for Ultra and get back to you.

  15.11.2005 05:06 #65

• magic507

  I used a rip of Nero 7 Ultra by ADDICTION and was getting skips on my cds....... I then uninstalled the program and deleted any leftover files, downloaded Nero 7 Ultra 7.0.1.2 Demo from Nero's website and used a keygen for a serial. After burning an audio cd with this, I STILL had the skips!!!!! Evidently the bug is still in the new update....

  magic507 , welcome to my world.

  18.11.2005 10:25 #67

• jalaneme

  well thats unuseual, i burned 4 CD's with Nero 7 and not one of them skipped i listen to the CD's from beginning to end, no skip... but when my friend burnt one of his CD's his one skipped :S. i think i go back to Nero 6 again -_- until the major bug has been sorted out.

  Ok Folks.If you go to program files/common files/ahead/audio plugins you will see a file Mp3pro.dll. Delete this file and replace with an earlier version from Nero 6.You will not have anymore problems with skiping audio.

  23.11.2005 13:55 #72

• jalaneme

  i have installed and uninstalled the Nero 7 so many times now, that i wont install it for a while, unless someone can confirm that it is the DLL that is making the tracks skip?

  23.11.2005 17:37 #73

• magic507

  Replacing the dll file really works!!!! Thanks alot for the information, I have been trying to figure out a fix FOREVER!!!!

  24.11.2005 04:04 #74

• jalaneme

  cool, going to try it later on then.

  24.11.2005 10:19 #75

• stirlo1

  No Problem glad to help.Maybe I need your help in the future??????

  24.11.2005 13:52 #76

• amb7247

  Yep I can also confirm this as well. The mp3pro.dll from Nero 6 works fine. No skipping whatsoever. I had skips alot with the version of mp3pro.dll in Nero 7. I saved the original mp3pro.dll and copied over the older version from Nero 6. Works great.

  6.12.2005 10:24 #77

• TroyM

  I uninstalled Nero 6 but saved the file on my desktop. Installed the demo from Nero, which already had a serial in there, so i installed it and its the Preminum version and i overwrote the newer dll file with the one on my desktop and it still skips...did i do something wrong here?

  6.12.2005 17:22 #78

• thebox

  i was using the European version of Nero7 for a while then recently i updated from the website with the North American files. The problem I have is that it keeps adding a Bitmap picture file on my desktop and keeps comming back everytime I delete it and use Nero. What gives?
  

  3.1.2006 09:35 #79

• thebox

  using a keygen, generate a serial for the MP3PRO plugin and it will solve the skipping when making an audio cd. i've tried this and it works
