Acheron Posted October 27, 2007 Author Posted October 27, 2007 (edited) I just want to say Nero 8 doesn't compress very well. I have completed work on resource optimisations for both Nero 8 Micro English and European, so I can predict final filesize now:Nero 8 Micro English: 18.1 MBNero 8 Micro European: 22.8 MBI still have to do more work on Nero 8 Lite, but filesize should not be much larger than Nero 7 Lite releases.

NaDer_GenKO Posted October 27, 2007 Posted October 27, 2007 Hi, Acheron Why you dont try helping me ?!Please tell me how to install Nero Image Drive with Nero lite

Lusitano Posted October 27, 2007 Posted October 27, 2007 Also if Acheron use NSIS instead of Inno it would generate smaller installer. NSI has a smaller overhead and the LZMA solid compression its better.
Acheron Posted October 28, 2007 Author Posted October 28, 2007 I'm sorry but I need some more time to fix some dependancy problems (VideoCD support/ Nero Digital Encoding). However Windows Vista tests seems not to cause any big problems yet and also activation does work on that platform. So to speed things a bit up I will skip public beta testing and go release final versions when these minor problems are fixed.
cyberloner Posted October 28, 2007 Posted October 28, 2007 (edited) Also if Acheron use NSIS instead of Inno it would generate smaller installer.

Lusitano Posted October 29, 2007 Posted October 29, 2007 Yes, NSIS is more complicated than Inno, but it supports solid mode for LZMA, and AFAIK Inno doesn't.
mara- Posted October 29, 2007 Posted October 29, 2007 (edited) Yes, NSIS is more complicated than Inno, but it supports solid mode for LZMA, and AFAIK Inno doesn't. You are totaly wrong!From inno page:Includes integrated support for "deflate", bzip2, and 7-Zip LZMA file compression.Added support for solid compression, controlled via the new [setup] section directive SolidCompression. This causes all files to be compressed at once instead of separately. This can result a much greater overall compression ratio if your installation contains many files with common content, such as text files.Please read the full description in the help file before using this feature; don't just blindly enable it or you may be in for some surprises.First inform yourself and then talk!Cheers Edited October 29, 2007 by mara-
Lusitano Posted October 30, 2007 Posted October 30, 2007 I'm sorry, I'm a little outdated about Inno. Some time ago it wouldn't support solid mode for LZMA. But still, NSIS generates lesser overhead than Inno (in my tests), but that's just a mater of kilobytes, no great drama.
Acheron Posted October 30, 2007 Author Posted October 30, 2007 I have completed resource optimizations for Nero 8 Lite now. This was a lot of work.I have also fixed the problems I earlier reported.Furthermore I have removed some component options to clean up the component selection window a bit. These components are not removed, they are now indeed installed by default.Another change is that Turkish language will be moved from European to Asian package, so Asian package will contain the following languages now:Chinese Trad/Simpl, Japanese, Korean, Thai, Russian and Turkish.Thanks for all support.P.S. Nero 8 Lite will be 39.5 MB, Nero 8 Micro 19.0 MB for English Language. Releases are planned for tomorrow, both Lite and Micro builds for all languages.
OuTmAn Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 (edited) looks amazing what exactly are these resource optimizations?and which are these components installed by default? Edited October 31, 2007 by OuTmAn
coucou Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 Wowwww... Fantastic Acheron.... There are a Good newsHope we enjoy very soonBravocoucou
Acheron Posted October 31, 2007 Author Posted October 31, 2007 Nero 8.1.1.0 Lite and MicroUpgraded components to Nero 8Resource optimizations and general cleanupTurkish language moved to Asian packageAvailable at updatepack.nl
Lusitano Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 Thank you Acheron. Seems to work just fine (at least Lite build). Did you used version 8.1.1.0b?
