Nero 6 vs Nero 7


No6

Recommended Posts

I have Nero v6 configured for silent installation. With all the problems involved in getting Nero v7 to install silently, I ask myself if the functionality gain is worth spending the extra money to upgrade.

I'm only interested in the main Nero burning software, as far as I'm concerned the rest is bloat. The question is, how much extra functionality does version 7 have over version 6 when it comes to File and/or ISO burning? Do I really want to spend the time re-installing manually, over and over? (I do complete unattended reinstalls frequently)

Thanks in advance for all opinions.

Let me rephrase your question for you...

What do you need your CD burning program to do?

Burn Data CDs?

Burn Audio CDs?

Burn VCDs?

Burn Multisession Discs?

Burn Data DVDs?

Burn Video DVDs?

Copy discs?

Burn CD/DVD Images?

Encode audio tracks?

Nero 6 does all these for me... I can't really think of anything else I need my DVD-RW drive to do... :)

Oh... and the installer for Nero6 for me is 16MB. :thumbup

Mine (Nero 6.6.0.18) is 17 MB with WaveEditor (need it for converting sound files between formats).

And yes, I have tried Nero7. Its not an improvement over Nero 6.6!

All it does, is it has the Package1,Package2,Package3,Package4 all in one place. And Nero7 is too huge, and has no easy way to install unattended. I might go so far as to say, I suspect that Nero7 is a marketing plan (to prove that Nero is as bloated as Easy Media Creator 8). In REAL terms of REAL functionality differences, there's NO difference for me. Nero7 does nothing new, it has nothing that wasn't present in 6.6!

I am happier with Nero 6.6 & will stick with it for sometime atleast. So yes, you know where the vote is! ;) All posts till now in this topic, say that Nero7 sucks.

I use Nero 7, and I think it is better than Nero 6. Its new feature is 'Ultrabuffer' which is responsible for faster CD burning. I download only the Nero Burning Rom (33~35 MB download). Its use better interface than Nero 6.

These are my personal opinions, but others people in this post are seems to be against Nero 7.

I don't like Nero 7 !

IMO Nero 7 = Nero 6 + (Super duper cool colourful memory hog UI) + ridiculous bloat + lots'a little bugs to keep the fun from dying !!

and a 100 MB download to boot!!

How better can it get !! I'm sticking with Nero 6.6.0.18, works perfectly and not bloated :thumbsup:
