Ahead Nero 6.0 Released

Posted by DJ Prem on 26 July 2003 - 00:00 · 85 comments & 12951 views

Nero 6.0 Ultra Edition is the most comprehensive, versatile CD- and DVD-mastering and packet-writing suite on the market today. In fact, calling it a disc-authoring app is a disservice, because the suite also offers a very capable backup program, a DVD-authoring app that compares favorably with all but its pro-level competitors, and even a VCD/DVD movie playback program that includes support for MPEG-4 (the compression scheme that gives you near-DVD quality on a CD). Toss in a slick, completely configurable launch applet, numerous helpful utilities, and a responsive bug-fix policy, and you get a hands-down Editors' Choice. In fact, Nero 6.0 Ultra Edition would have been a landslide winner if it were not for a few minor bugs in our prerelease version and some quibbles with the interface in some apps. Still, if you've been thinking about Easy CD Creator, think Nero instead.

#6 Posted by morphen on 26 Jul 2003 - 00:19: I don't think its bloated at all,i L0000ve the new interface,and the fact that in earlier versions,the burning dialog showed it self on the desktop,not in the nero itself...i l00ve that they have fixed that

grr...but they still have'nt put in a "time left" counter....irritating!

#7 Posted by frogworm on 26 Jul 2003 - 00:23: now that it has been released, does that mean i should download the official demo instead of the full bootleg version i downloaded what.... over 2 weeks ago?

#13 Posted by Music Pirate on 26 Jul 2003 - 01:28: I was just curious to see if I could find Nero 6 on some P2P networks? Low and behold!!!

#17 Posted by naap51stang on 26 Jul 2003 - 03:15: Nero 6........when good software goes bad (bloated)
It's a shame that with each revision of a good piece of software, they tack on everything including the kitchen sink, causing it to become bloatware.
I use to be a fan of Nero until version 5, then I switched to Disk Juggler.
works as well, no bloat.

(3 replies) #18 Posted by Drimacus on 26 Jul 2003 - 03:24: i dunno why u ppl keep calling it bloat, it's just as fast as version 5, with new more colorful icons

#19 Posted by Cristanu on 26 Jul 2003 - 03:34: imo, much better than older versions.

(2 replies) #20 Posted by OPaul on 26 Jul 2003 - 03:57: Isn't this software? Hence Software News

#21 Posted by cork1958 on 26 Jul 2003 - 04:13: Just not into having to have have all the "new" "latest" "greatest" stuff anymore. Stuff changes so often it's rediculous. My Nero 5.5 does everything I need. The bloat might be coming from all the new stuff everybody is getting that is bloating their computer?

#22 Posted by Andrew T on 26 Jul 2003 - 04:58: Has anyone had a problem erasing CDRW disks,either using quick erase or full erase?

Nero 6.0 burns my CD's no problems but hangs when I go to erase a CDRW disk.Removed version 6.0,reinstalled the last version 5x update from last month and all is well again

Think I may hold off now until the bugs are fixed

(1 reply) #23 Posted by Munki on 26 Jul 2003 - 05:20: The media player is sexy!

#24 Posted by DJ^TuRKiYe on 26 Jul 2003 - 05:32: Downloading it now. I hope its good

#25 Posted by DJ Specs on 26 Jul 2003 - 05:47: Yaaaaaay! Nice Icons!

#26 Posted by OrangeSoul on 26 Jul 2003 - 05:47: When i put AVI files into a vcd folder to be automatically converted by nero, nero quits automatically without any message, BUG!

#27 Posted by mat on 26 Jul 2003 - 06:03: it seams that they have removed the option to burn 352 x 576 DVD Movies... the old Nero Vision Express let me burn those mpg2s to a DVD but the new one wants to reencode them to a higher resolution.
guess, i have to go back to the old one

(1 reply) #28 Posted by |CiN|FuL on 26 Jul 2003 - 06:12: leaked cd keys and keygen work... pity... i was kinda hoping they were going to fix/redo the keys with the new "recode"

(3 replies) #29 Posted by Dark Warhawk on 26 Jul 2003 - 07:08: pfft! i went to enable Nero Image Drive and it gave me a lovely blue screen. xp home sp1

(6 replies) #34 Posted by hardgiant on 26 Jul 2003 - 10:00: 200 megs of space wtf?

Oh well I kinda like easy cd 6.1 now.....I have used it for a couple of months now and it is stable and has useful features like disc spanning

#35 Posted by hobsgrg on 26 Jul 2003 - 12:19: the servers seem to be running very slowly now

(5 replies) #36 Posted by Sawyer12 on 26 Jul 2003 - 12:37: So is this free or a demo ? What about the media player and all the other download links.

#37 Posted by Glen on 26 Jul 2003 - 13:33: BTW, anyone having issues with the download links can log into the FTP server directly to download the demo. ftp://ftp.us.nero.com

It's slow, and you may not connect on the first try, but at least it's an alternative to the download links on the web site.

#38 Posted by musicmaster on 26 Jul 2003 - 13:39: If you really want it for free, download the demo, then start nero express, then enter the serial number you got off Kazaa, emuel etc.

#39 Posted by Galley_SimRacer on 26 Jul 2003 - 14:03: Anyone else having problems installing Nero and Nero Vision? I can't even get the support form to work!

#40 Posted by diabulos on 26 Jul 2003 - 15:17: I just used the Nerovision espress, nice interface, easy to make a dvd,but both when making dvd and svcd, the sound sync goes off, it begins with about 1 second, as the movie continues it becomes almost 30 seconds! anyone had any experiences like this?

#41 Posted by eilegz on 26 Jul 2003 - 15:25: nero 6 is fine anyways i dun consider it a bloat but it still slower than nero 5.5 got more useless features something that i hate from easy cd creator 6 but anyways in my opinnion anyone here got newer pcs so why are people complaining about bloat . Any software nowdays get bloated just check msn messenger, winamp 3, ICQ, netscape and many others. if u want the things lite stick with the old one thats it

#42 Posted by eilegz on 26 Jul 2003 - 15:27: by the way he only thing that i hate is the "package" stuff make it in package its ok but then why not make a full version of it in a single install so i dun have to dl 3 pr 4 package to receive a "COMPLETE" nero suite that would be nice for dsl user or any others that dont want do dl many things

#43 Posted by finalcut on 26 Jul 2003 - 16:51: VERY good app ahead.. very good work

#44 Posted by reaper1576 on 26 Jul 2003 - 17:21: loads of langage errors keep coming up

#45 Posted by ezgr on 26 Jul 2003 - 17:35: Looks nice but there's a bug when trying to make a (S)VCD..Nero quits automatically without any message when you enable the menu and add some video..without the menu it works and if you enable it and have not yet added any video. But when you do it shuts down

(1 reply) #46 Posted by brundlefry on 26 Jul 2003 - 22:49: Anyone have a problem of slow disc eject compared to 5.5 when you click "Discard" (after burning something)?

#47 Posted by ezgr on 27 Jul 2003 - 14:17: There's something wrong with mine. I reinstalled but have the same problem. In Nero when making a VCD it don't play wma avi files or mpg mpeg .. only some mpeg files, even that the ones i'm trying to play are already enconded for VCD. The small window appears but nothing is shown. Also whenever I use menu with thumbnails I can just add WMA files to the compilation if I use an MPEG Nero quits withut any error message. It has to do somthing with the thumbnails creation, it only happens when I enable the menu or add a non-WMA file to a compilation with menu enabled. Also it does the same if you go to the properties of the video and the menu tab where you can change the part of the video that will be used for the thumbnail. In Nero Visionwith just addind a video it shuts down. I dunno what else to do, my Nero 5.5 worked fine...

#48 Posted by cesardrgn on 27 Jul 2003 - 17:33: I gotta try this new one...

#49 Posted by BillCo on 27 Jul 2003 - 20:02: I bought my copy of Nero 5.5 off their web site about a month ago. My understanding is that they will automatically send me a product key because I purchased after May 1. I haven't received a key. Anyone else get one?

#50 Posted by fr0st` on 28 Jul 2003 - 13:00: 32mb for a complete install is bloatware? wtf you people don't know what bloatware is. Nero 6 runs just as fast as nero 5.5 but it looks a hell of a lot smoother. I would consider bloatware to be a software package that runs slow and sh**. EZCDC would be considered bloatware. Also i don't think the size of the install would really make a big diff. unless you are still sporting a 10gb hd from the 90's **** who doesn't have less than 500gb of hd space....
