I tried Ashampoo burning studio 8, but found out it was not designed for 64 bit systems and was limited options-wise. I had no problem installing the software. All in All, SO FAR, very satisfied. I had to go to a specific shared folder to delete the neropatentactivation file, but it was a simple step.
I've just installed version 8.3.6 on an HP pavillion with vista 64BIT and it seems to be working great. I have cyberlink power2go provided on the pc by HP, but its kinda bare bones. I tried Roxio Ultimate Creator 2009, all it did was keep my pc locked up. I have burned 2 audio CD's, and no worries.
I also had to download the help files separately, but nero provides a link for that. So, hopefully This version of Nero will be as reliable for me as ultra 6 was. I haven't tried burning a DVD yet, but that's next. I downloaded the install file and purchased a keycode from an ebay seller, went real smooth.
The only features I use on a regular basis are "Nero Express", "Nero Burning ROM" and "Nero Vision". This package tends to be fairly 'bloated'. Nero 8 serves well as a fairly decent burning software. I haven't come across any "bugs" or technical difficulties.
It leaves traces untill you reinstal the whole computer.The thing I dislike the most was its extremely slow speed. Not because they are free, but because they work better. (One always tries to stay away from those, but it is not always possible).
Nevertheless, other programs were several times quicker, from which one of the quickest is the old fashioned Nero6. You can choose which one you like the best according to your needs. I was forced to find some freeware solution.
I really used to like Nero6, but I am Czech, and it had major troubles with Czech special symbols. It might be that I have all my files on network drive (althought with 1G connection). InfraRecorder, Ashampoo Burning, Express Burn, CDXPBurner.
I made a switch to Nero8, and I was just disappointed.While installing the program was a sort of nightmare, uninstalling is nearly impossible. It took about 25 minutes regularly to create an audio CD.
Nero 8 Ultra Edition for PC almost 1 month I did not received yet, I don't know why.
You literally mouse yourself to death trying to figure out how Nero works. When you do that, a zip file downloads that you then have to unpack. They don't really add any information. Every part of the Nero package has its own help file that works this way.
Nero 8 sucks. Don't buy their product. It's a total waste of time to look at these extremely brief and unexplanatory help pages. One example is the extremely poor HELP policy.
The worst part is that the help files are not at all helpful. I really wish I had bought something else. When you hit the help button you get a message saying Dear User, in order to keep file sizes small, you'll have to go online and download the help file. The file does not link into the existing Nero program, and must be opened separately.
