hey all Lets just start by saying everythings fresh. Mobo crashed. Newly installed windows xp pro. Newly installed nero 6.6ultra. Nero start smart does not have film strip icon when dvd selected. If i try to burn with nero vision express and select video files, then try to add avi - tells me no compatible files found. Any suggestions? Any help is greatly appreciated
hey, just thought to add. not first time using nero. i think i am doing everything the same. do i need a newer ver of nero express?
Hi Brianm77 You can try uninstalling - running the clean tool then install Nero again. Use this version. The 2nd package has Vision to use for the avi's: http://ww2.nero.com/nero6/enu/General_CleanTool.html Package 1 http://httpdl1.usw.nero.com/software/Nero6/Nero-6.6.0.18_no_yt.exe Package 2 http://httpdl1.usw.nero.com/software/Nero6/NVE-3.1.0.21_no_yt.exe
hey, thx for the response do i use the same key? or are these trial versions i have to buy again? i also burn dvd not converted to avis is everything present in pkg 2 for that aswell?
Package one has this: Update-Package 1 * Nero StartSmart 2 * Nero Express 6 * Nero BackItUp * Nero SoundTrax * Nero Image Drive * Nero Burning ROM 6 * Nero Cover Designer * Nero Wave Editor * Nero Toolkit Package 2 has this Update-Package 2 * NeroVision Express 3 * Nero Recode 2 * Nero ShowTime 2 * Nero PhotoSnap * Nero MediaHome If you don't use all of it you can do a custom install and pick what you want. Not trials pacakages & you don't need to buy again. Just use your serial key that you have now.
1. "If you don't use all of it you can do a custom install and pick what you want." Can you do that with Nero 6.6.x? How? 2. About AVIs: I think Nero may be unable to burn some AVIs, depending on the codecs needed. is this right?
Hey zapatero Do do the custom install and just pick what you want to install when you are running the installer you get a screen that ask if you want a 'typical' or 'custom' install. Typical (or very similar wording) is usually picked by default. Just click on custom then the next screen you can pick which apps to install. For your question 2 - you're probably right. There are some avi's that Nero bombs on yet other programs like ConvertXtoDVD - no problem. What the diff in codecs is that one I do not know.
1. I think "custom" and "typical" installs are options in Nero 7.x, but not in Nero 6.x. 2. AVI is a "container" format, so there can be different thing "inside" it. Nero Vision handles some AVIs, but not others. I just downloaded an AVI from Google Video, and Nero Vision (v. 4.7) was unable to add it to a project ("Unable to insert..."). I converted it to WMV (using CinemaForge), and Nero Vision accepted the new file.
