Nero 9 Reloaded Review
Nero Express and Nero Burning ROM cover all the functions you could possibly want in handling CDs and DVDs including being ready for BluRay discs.
Nero Express is a simple windowed interface that makes burning, copying or whatever totally simple.
By the way, it's called the Burning ROM because it a is a liitle play on words. Ready? Nero Burning Rome / Nero Burning ROM!! Get it ROM? Rome? Nero?
Anyway, silly naming aside this is the CD DVD disc burning engine part of of Nero.
I much prefer to point and click my way to success and that's why they have Nero Express.
From this module you can exercise full control over every aspect of burning DVDs and Cds with a whole range of pro controls. Personally I never use it because I have no idea what most of the commands and choices are!
Ok so let's take a look at the full inventory of what Nero 9 Reloaded offers and more importantly what you get!
First up we have the Nero 9 Burning ROM.
This is one of the original burning engines and to this day has been developed to remain one of the best.
Nero Showtime. This is not only a DVD player for you computer but a player for many, many types of common and not so common media file formats.
It comes loaded with transitions and lots of features so in reality is quite a good little video editing module. It will also allow you to author DVDs, create your own menus and produce video slideshows from still images. It also outputs to a wide range of standerd and portable video formats.
Nero WaveEditor. This is an excellent audio editing and manipulation module. You can import sound files, use a range of filters on them and output to whatever format you want.
So if you take a look at the DVD Disc Repair page on this site you will see that it is one of the tools I use for recovering unfinalized discs or extracting data from damaged discs. VERY handy to have in the toolbox.
Ok, well there is a lot, lot more including a full back up program for you computer, a media control center you can run your entertainment system from, a whole range of CD and DVD disc tools and well it goes on and on.
One of it's best uses is not actually part of it's stated purpose! Because it is a separate module and was developed separately it turns out Recode "reads" DVDs differently. Because of this it ignores whether the DVD is finalized or not and just treats unfinalized discs as though they were finalized.

Nero SoundTrax. This is a further addition to the WaveEditor audio functionality and allows you to manipulate all sorts of audio in all sorts of ways. It has the ability to handle all types of Dolby sound formats and allows you total control over your audio files.
Nero Recode. Personally I just love this piece of the Nero suite. The actual purpose of Recode is so that you can take a DVD or DVDs and re-compress the contents down to a smaller size. Many types of software will do this but recode truly excels at it and gives you great control over what you want to re-compress and how.
Re-compression of DVD files will usually result in a loss of quality but with Recode any loss can be minimized and because it is purpose built for this task it does it very, very well.
It is a great utility for when you want to compile a series of DVDs in to fewer discs for archiving or even if you have produced a video file that is just a little too big to fit on a disc.
Nero RescueAgent. This is just a great tool that has been introduced in this version. As I said on the DVD Software page, last year I had 7 separate types of DVD software on my computer and now I have Nero 9 and two others.
Many, if not all of the DVD repair and recovery functions those 7 types of software covered are now totally under control from within Nero either through the Burning ROM, Nero Recode or Nero RescueAgent.
If you are looking for the best DVD software that pretty well does it all then you cannot go past Nero 9.
