Nero 8 is coming


Recommended Posts

Nero Startsmart somehow doesnt work for me, this is indeed pos

It doesn't work for me either, weirdly. It tell me the "burning engine" cannot start and it will not let me burn anything. I have to open up Nero Express to burn whatever I am attempting to burn.

Not a good start.

I have an unofficial Nero 7 portable version which is 12mb in one single .exe file with all the options you need to burn a disc. I also have different versions laying around (you get them free with a recorder) but they all s... compared to that 12mb portable version.

Sounds like Ahead sat there and listened to everyone complain about the bloatedness of Nero7 and thought they would make Nero8 worse...ah well, I'll stick with ImgBurn weighing in at a massive 1.5mb :p

For the people that stick with Nero, lets hope they finally have incremental updates! :o

Same for me. Uninstalled it already. Hopefully it gets fixed soon. I may have to look for an alternative (and something to convert/burn some .nrg files)

was at best buy today and they had nero 8. not sure when it was put on the shelf (sometime between last tuesday and today -- i'm always at best buy for new release tuesday) but it was there. just fyi in case anyone is actually planning on buying it.

There is also small program (2.56MB) called InfraRecorder.

InfraRecorder - Download

InfraRecorder is a free graphical CD and DVD writing program for Microsoft Windows, licensed under the GPL version 2. Started by Christian Kindahl in 2006, InfraRecorder uses the cdrtools software to perform the actual burning. InfraRecorder was born in the Google Summer of Code 2006.

As of version 0.40, InfraRecorder offers features similar to most CD and DVD authoring software, including the creation and burning of data and audio disc images, the ability to work with rewritable and multisession discs, and the ability to extract WAV and ISO image files from discs. One can also use the LAME MP3 encoder to save Audio CD tracks. The program also provides the InfraRecorder Express, a quickly and easy panel of tasks similar of Nero Express.

InfraRecorder is available in 31 languages.

looks nice.

for now, I'll think I'll pass on nero 8. nero 7 just does all I want and works fine in vista.

right now I'm using a "lite" version (http://www.softpedia.com/get/CD-DVD-Tools/Data-CD-DVD-Burning/Nero-Lite.shtml) fully legal (needs your serial to run) and weights only 45MB :)

    • UK funds £60M AI labs to challenge US tech dominance with open-source models by Paul Hill The UK government has awarded £60 million to Oxford University and University College London to help keep the country in the AI race by focusing on open-source, low-hardware alternatives. This is in stark contrast to the expensive, closed-source, and high-hardware-requirement models being created in the United States and elsewhere. The money will be shared among two new academic research labs over six years to help them redesign the fundamental mathematics and architectures of AI to help the UK reduce its reliance on a handful of US tech firms. Commenting on the development, AI Minister Kanishka Narayan said: Initially, the government planned to fund just one lab with a £40 million investment, but with this update, two labs will now get access to a larger pool of funds. The labs are expected to invest in the top AI researchers at every career stage, with £2 million per lab being set aside for hiring at least ten doctoral students. The government hopes that this will grow the UK’s talent in the field of AI. The labs are also expected to work closely with the leaders in British AI research, such as the Alan Turing Institute and UKRI’s AI research hubs. This will allow the various teams to collaborate and create new solutions faster than they could alone. This development is pretty interesting for a number of reasons, chiefly that it could create a long-term challenge for US tech firms if these labs successfully scale these open-source architectures that bypass the proprietary ecosystems. It could also give British businesses and public sector organizations access to AI features without paying high licensing fees to foreign providers or needing to invest in specialized server infrastructure.
    • If I were them, I'm gonna hold out until the prices of these semiconductor parts normalize. $1,049 for a ~5 year old hardware is DoA, more so for gamers. On a deeper note, if Steam Machine is priced like this, we are soo effed up for the next gen Xbox console and PS6. With great AAA titles releasing at the end of the year, this just creates more demand...and more tears for me. Lol.
    • I suspect one reason its hard to justify subsidising is that it's not a locked down device like a traditional console is. In this climate sadly if it was a "good deal" you'd get people hoarding them for anything but gaming. The Lenovo Legion Go 2 with the Ryzen Z2 Extreme is £1300 here ($1720) for some context on how other SteamOS like devices are now priced. I got the older Z1 Extreme model for £300 with a dock, just shows how insane prices have got recently.
