  1. Finally a new update. :lol: But don't get your hopes up for new features or quick updates anymore, I'm basically done with this project. I think this is as good as it's going to get. I've release this new update to mainly address a reduced functionality issue for Nero Update Package 2 users. So thanks everyone for your support and I did enjoy working on this project.

    Version 2.11 2006-02-02

    --------------------------------------

    - Added support for latest versions of Nero-6.6.1.4.exe and NVE-3.1.0.25.exe

    - Automatically removes Yahoo toolbar from distribution. (1.2MB)

    - Fixed a possible loss of functionality issue for users of Nero Update Package 2.

    - Removed my Nero Video Decoder and NeroFilter check option for better compatibility.

    Can I replace Nero Express with regular Nero for these?
    No, but you can stop Nero Express popups during CD insertions by uncommenting the ::

    In otherwords, remove the :: in front of the reg delete code.

    @devilrunner

    Do ncab installers of nero support the 64bit OS?
    I don't know.
    I know that the official installers of nero 6.x recognizes 64bit OS and installs differently then 32bit.
    If you mean differently as in different install directory \Program Files(x86) ....

    then I would try opening Nero_Installer.cmd

    look for this line

    set NeroDir=%ProgramFiles%\Ahead

    Replace it with

    set NeroDir=%ProgramFilesDir(x86)%\Ahead

    (maybe someone can confirm this variable exists)

    Does the installprocedure change in any way with this ncab ?
    No, but NCAB will remove any Win9x files and certain DLLs which are not necessary if you have WinXP SP-2. The actual setup routine is still Nero's own installer.

    Good Luck

    I guess I should rephrase what I said earlier, it will clear all traces of Nero filter check but only after a reboot is made. Remember for this silent install we suppressed the reboot option. This should not be a problem during your actual unattended install if you remember that all AV/Spyware utilities should be the last items installed during unattended setup.

    Sorry that's outta of my control, that's just the way the Nero installer works.

    Try setting it to %ProgramFiles%\Installed Software

    then when it installs, it will be C:\Program Files\Installed Software\Nero

    Not the most elegant solution, but you'll have one less folder.

    One warning though, I don't know exactly what will happen when u uninstall it using this shorten path directory. Most likely, your other programs in this directory will be fine, but I thought you should know in case Nero's Uninstaller tries to remove the entire Installed Software directory. That would be bad. :no:

  4. New version NCAB is available.

    Version 2.10 2005-09-08

    --------------------------------------

    - Changed NCAB distribution method to self-extracting archive. This should help out those users with tweaked cmd starting directories and users with unconventional WinRAR install paths. And with this method, hopefully a simpler process for all users.

    - Removed WinRAR requirement.

    - Added an option to remove DOS BootImage file. (798 KB)

    - Option to remove Nero Video Decoder. (596 KB)

    - Removed NeroFilter check. (58 KB)

    - Optimized code for English Language pack users. (65 KB)

    - Changing Nero's installation directory is possible now.

    - Other minor code changes.

  5. I have 5 videofiles, created once with Nero Recode. They all are in .mp4 container and play just fine here... (have Media player classic & ffdshow only.)

    I am not sure with what version they were created.

    I use the newer MPEG-4 AVC setting and I have a standard installation of K-Lite Mega Pack 1.37 + BSPlayer. When I use MP Classic, I get unplayable video like you, but I usually use BSPlayer or PowerDVD, and they play perfectly. However, if I remove NeVideo.ax or rename it, then none of the players are able to recognize it.

    Anyways the point being, some users are able to play MPEG-2,4 files without having to use Nero's decoder because they have a capable alternative decoder installed while others may not. And since I'm making NCAB for a variety of users, it may not be wise to remove something that is inherently part of the Nero Suite. But I suppose if you know the consequences and you don't need it, removing Nero's decoder would reduce 596 KB from the installer.

    By the way, the MPEG-4 AVC Standard profile offers 2x better compression than the regular MPEG-4 Standard, but at the expense of 6x longer encoding time. I'm sure that over time it will be improved, but for now a 3min MPEG-2 clip takes close to 20mins to complete (2pass, AVC-Standard, 5.1-ch HE-AAC 256kb on a P4 3.0GHz, 1GB RAM).

    They don't have a menu or subs though, but recode files with menu/subs can only be played in Nero Showtime (not sure). So if one only uses the 1st pack (or 1st and 2nd but removes Showtime with NCAB) he can't play these files (recode WITH menu/subs) anyway... is this correct?

    I think that is true. Though, Ahead is really pushing hard to make Nero Digital Certified mainstream, much like DivX was/is. So in the future we might find more feature support in other players.

    I was looking at the file Nero_Installer.cmd, extracted from Nero_Custom_Setup.exe.

    Trying to search the part where the files in DSfilter are registered. I located a few parts

    :Transition and :DSFilter-ShowTime. If I would remove the items under these lines, is it correct the DSfilters won't be registered?

    No, that's incorrect, and the opposite is true. There's no need to fiddle with the Cleanup section.

  6. You should try the latest NCAB v2.08. There's better optimization overall.

    I would consider not being able to playback the files created in Nero Recode -- a loss of functionality, because NeVideo.DLL is not only responsible for MPEG-2 decoding but also MPEG-1,4 & AVC decoding.

    Still generally speaking, plain Nero users may not find it necessary. I will have to balance out the pros and cons.

  7. @ZileXa

    I'll look into it, but I'm hesitant about removing certain features (even optionally) when the feature provides functionality for the entire suite.

    Have you tried K-Lite's Codec Tweak Tool to disable NeroDigital parser and Nero MPEG video decoder? That might be an easier and better solution, since you can also re-enable it when u need to.

  8. the thing is it registers, but I don't see my registration name or anything there, but no demo either.

    You enter your name/company info in-between the quotes.

    :: ----- Username and Company Info -----

    reg add "HKLM\Software\Ahead\Nero - Burning Rom\Info" /v User /d "" /f

    reg add "HKLM\Software\Ahead\Nero - Burning Rom\Info" /v Company /d "" /f

    turkish (language pack) nero latest version, getting an offer icon on desktop, as well as in my start menu. could be a bug?

    With the last two versions, Nero may have added an additional key in the registry. Add this line to the Nero Cleanup section to get rid of it.

    reg delete HKLM\Software\Ahead\shared /v EnabledOffers /f

    My next release will come when the new version of Nero is released. Which should be any day now.

  9. This issue has been discussed before in my thread.

    Modifying/Customizing the starting directory for the command prompt will cause NCAB to not find the required files.

    This issue will be fixed in my next release.

    In the meantime, change your command processor back to the default setting.

    reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Command Processor" /v AutoRun /d "" /f

  10. Yes you could move it and you can rename the file afterwards. Just run Nero_Custom_Setup.exe to install.

    No you can not use the switch like that, it has to been in the Nero_Installer.cmd. Just follow the guide by JohnS. Or you can just wait for my new version which is coming out very soon which will have the new code and some other goodies.

  11. Not even give the option for it? Sheesh, more time-consuming manual removing of useless file extensions for people who just burn things and go about their lives...

    .NHF, .NHV, .NMD, .NR3, .NR4, .NRA, .NRB, .NRC, .NRD, .NRE, .NRH, .NRI, .NRM, .NRS, .NRU, .NRV, .NRW, and .NSD

    Or is it because it's harder to do than simply removing setup files?  :unsure:

    No, it's not harder, but this aspect is not high on my list of priorties right now.

    Plus removing extensions won't save you any space.

    It's kinda anal to worry about stuff like this, but then again sometimes I find myself to be anal too. :lol:

    But since you had the time to figure out which extensions you like to remove, may I suggest you try to learn some simple batch skills yourself.

    It's not that hard to learn and you feel much better when you can solve a problem on your own.

    For starters, look into the for command. for /? and my cleanup code as a reference.

  12. i couldn't find a switch either, so i just ran the installer.

    when it finished extracting, winkey+R %tmp%

    copy the extracted folder to another location.

    exit the installation. Actually you might need to go ahead with

    installing the program, if you wish to extract the encrypted registration key.

    you may remove some win95 files and photodex presenter plugin.

    Repackage it using 7zip or winrar.

    Although there are some registry entries, none of it is really that essential

    to running of the program, except if you use ProShow Gold internal

    burning engine to make your cd or dvd.

    That's all for now, i may make a more thorough guide later.

  13. @JohnS

    great find.

    I'll probably add this to my next version. :D

    Where it says /PATH="%ZZ%", add the quotes because the variable may contain spaces.

    EDIT:

    The only strange thing happening is when I uninstall Nero program, CoverDesign, Nero BackItUp and Nero StartSmart folders, which I didn't install and wheren't there, appear. blink.gif blink.gif

    I believe this is due to your testing of different configurations in NCAB (installing/uninstalling/re-installing without rebooting). Use the Nero Clean-up Utility. That might help you fix that problem. :yes:
