The first version of Adaptec I had used completely crashed my PC which forced a reformat. This made it easy to choose Nero at that time. Since then, times have definitely changed and the feature list is ever growing.
There is so much packed into the Ultra Edition that we will not be able to tackle it all, but rather mention features that stand out. Needless to say, Nero is a complete media suite that is for much more than simply burning. Rather, they all have their own look and layout. Nero Home marks new territory for Nero 7, which began with disc-creation tools, then added media-editing tools. Now, with Nero Home, it moves into media playback. You'll need to supply your own remote or any wireless pointing device, such as a mouse , but Nero Home lets you select files from the couch.
Driving Nero Home is Nero Scout, a new database program that catalogs all of your media files. Scout's initial indexing of our hard drive took hours on our test system, which didn't even have that many files on it, so don't plan on using it immediately. Nero Home is, likewise, a sluggish performer. You'll need to wait a few seconds for your files to appear when you make a selection.
We like that Nero Home offers time-shifting for those with TV tuner cards and a video feed, but we wish the program included niceties such as the ability to download listings or CD cover art a representative told us that cover art downloading will come soon as a free upgrade.
All of Nero's applications benefit from this upgrade, but some more noticeably than others. Disc-burning tools Nero Express the simplified disc-creation app and InCD the packet-writing app for using rewritable CDs, such as floppy disks have slightly improved interfaces. This capability is a bit of a moot point in the meantime; Blu-ray burners and media are not yet available in the United States.
Likewise, Nero 7 can capture, edit, and export HD-DVD, but you can't burn a disc yet, since there isn't a final format. For audiophiles, Nero 7 incorporates support for 5. We're happy that Nero can now import HDV video, which will rapidly become more prominent, but we're disappointed that Nero still doesn't support DivX.
As a contrast, the recently released Roxio Toast 7 gets behind DivX in a big way check back soon for a complete review of Toast 7 Titanium. We had a major problem with Nero Burning ROM, the suite's heart: it stopped opening halfway through our testing. A Nero representative confirmed that this is a known issue and that launching Nero Express creates a registry change that prevents Burning ROM from launching.
This bug will be fixed in a major, free downloadable upgrade on October 26, This upgrade will also offer significant optimizations for dual-core, multiple-CPU, and Hyper-Threading machines in the form of speed improvements.
Nero BackItUp receives some serious improvements this time, with better scheduling options, FTP support, the ability to create bootable restore discs, and the ability to back up drives to internal or external hard discs. The software performed perfectly in our informal testing.
