Hi there
I gave up on Nero after version 6. It's just become so much BLOATWARE these days -- good example of people just ruining a great product by just cramming it with "feature-itus" 90% of which aren't used anyway.

The only useful "feature" Nero had bundled with it was the "Virtual Drive Image" but that hasn't worked since VISTA was introduced back a few years ago.

There's MANY MANY better products out there now some free and Windows 7 in any case can burn ISO images.

Cheers

Nero.....people still use that commercial bloated stuff???? Geez, are companies like Roxio still putting out applications that rival the install size of Microsoft office????

Imgburn or cdburnerXP. Both free, both small, both effective, both work fine on Windows 7.

I agree completely. Bloated is an understatement IMO Nero takes over your entire computer. The worst software on the planet no doubt about it.

No, my money is on Quicktime as the worst malware ever.

I've had good luck with Nero 8.3.13.0 under Win7 X64. I haven't tried other software, but I like the disk verification feature in Nero, although it can be a little slow. (That feature was absent in the latest Adaptec/Roxio burner software I've seen, a few years ago.) It's handy for determining if a Win7 iso was correctly burned to DVD.

However, I only have "Nero Burning ROM" itself installed. It probably doesn't make sense to buy the Nero package to only use the burner application.

Try Ashampoo Burning Studio 9 for a light and complete burning suite. Puts Roxio's bloated junk to shame and has been working fast and flawlessly with my Win7.

Other than that it's IMGBurn and nothing else for the simple ISO burn.

I can verify that Nero 8.3.13.0 works fine under windows 7 x64 RTM. I've tried all features except for the Back up. I don't even install that.

Edit- I'll add that the latest clone dvd and anydvd also work fine

As far as the above listed slysoft programs GameJackel latest version also works

eeerr... Ppl like me still use it ... But You guys are right ....its too bloated! I'll be trying Imgburn and CdburnerXP this weekend.

I can tell you after using nero for going on a decade it is hard to switch to something else in terms of ease of use.
but after installing recent nero installs on others computers I too am staying away from nero - while most of the bloatware can be disabled you have to wonder why a good burning rom would includes something like nero scout that constantly locks up a computer searching for music files?
imgburn is definitely not as easy as nero but it gets the job done once you figure it out

hi,
seems odd that people can't get Nero 8 to work in Win7. I have Ultimate on PC and Home Prem on laptop and have got Nero 8 to work 100% on both. I never had to do anything other than download and install and away it went

Solved: Windows 7 incompatability with Nero 8

FIY: I had been using Nero 8 Essentials on Windows 7 Ult Retail with reasonable success, but periodically and regularly got FUBAHs.

I have just built a new PC with Intel Extreme DX58SO2 mobo & i7 960 CPU, and Gigabyte GTX 550 Ti graphcs card; and reloaded Windows 7 Ult 64bit onto it.

Nero 8 went crazy in this system. In efforts to get it to work I wasted about 25 blank TDK +R DVD discs. Among other things I turned off Windows burning sofware, but all to no avail.

The odd burn worked, but 98% didn't. The errors varied from finalizing the disc when I had multi-partitioned it to be able to add data later ... to totally rendering the disc unusable even though it said burn had failed. Sometimes it said poor media.

SOLUTION: I was on the point of abandoning Nero when I finally got part of the answer to the problem from this thread from post 3 by JTT which suggested running Nero in compatability mode for Windows XP SP3. I tried this and although it didn't work, it set me in the right direction.

I next tried running it in compatability mode for Vista (Service Pack 2), and this worked a treat. Not a sinlge bad burn since then.

Thank you JTT!

Nero addressed that issue thank goodness. They returned to their roots and you can now buy Nero Burning ROM on it's own. It's still the best commercial app for burning.
