Some of my friends often asked me which software is the most appropriate to use? If I'd have to settle with just one CDR / DVDR burning software, then Nero would be it. Nero Burning ROM is probably the best all-in-one CDR/DVDR application on the market. Nero combines huge amounts of features in a compact and easy to use package. It handles disc dublicating and pre-mastering with ease, supported by a cover designer and even an audio file editor. The excellent GUI desing keeps all the functions handy and guarantees that simple tasks can be done quickly. Download plugins for Nero from Neroplugins. If you have questions related to Nero, please visit our unofficial Nero support forums. You really need to discuss Nero 7 Ultra's other apps too as Nero Burning Rom is not a standalone product. I have used every part of this Suite (currently using v7.2.3.2b),but mainly Nero Vision, Recode and Burning Rom. Burning Rom works really great. I bet that at least 99% of the problems blamed on Nero are hardware, media and software problems that are NOT Nero's fault. One of the main burning problems is Media that the burner does not "like." After LG recommended some media I chose Verbatim and have had 400 out of 400 successful burns at 16x. You don't realize how great a simple burning app like this is until you try to use other burning apps. Nero Recode works very well. I believe Nero Digital AVC is currently number one (by a small margin) compared to the other available codecs for encoding H. 264 files. Of course ,if you want to convert other video format into H.264, I recommend Imtoo MPEG Encoder 3.1 ,which supports converting video files between DVD, VCD, RM, AVI, MPEG, WMV, h264 etc. You can even convert to Divx compatible format using MP4CAM2AVI most files. The "Main Movie" DVD-9 to DVD-5 option is the easiest I have seen. If your movie will fit the DVD-5 or encodes at 90% I recommend Nero Recode. As a Suite, if you use two or three of the main apps Nero is well worth the money and the interface while initially daunting to some just makes sense once you've used it a few times and the product is amazingly stable despite all the blaming to the contrary. I believe that Nero Burning ROM should be a standalone product that costs $25-$30 for people that only need to burn.
@Sheary......... are you woking for Nero? sounds like it to me. I use Nero and I love it but to sing the praises of Nero like you do..... you must be working for Ahead!
He/she was trying to cover the fact that their main purpose here was to spam for another site selling software. Didn't fool me.
