" September 2, 2021 5.0 I'm still very old school when it comes to creating video files to distribute amongst family and friends because where I come from, every household still has a home theatre system that comes equipped with a DVD player, so as advanced as I am in the realm of consumer electronics, I can't discard the fact that CDs and DVDs still have relevance (albeit minor) in modern society. This is why I still use Nero till this day, no other software has stood the test of time when it comes to burning content onto disc. Pros I still find this software very useful till tis day even though most people don't use these mediums (CD/DVD/Blu-Ray) as much as they use to. Nero has always been the most convenient way to burn content on disc since the early 2000s. Whether you're making slideshows, home-made movies or even a compilation of your favorite music, Nero has always been the go-to software in making all of that happen. Cons I think at this point in time Nero should find a new method of releasing their software like on a USB stick instead of a Compact Disc. It is getting increasingly harder to find lightweight laptops that still come equipped with a DVD Rom drive plus this whole mechanism does tend to deplete the battery of a laptop when in use but for the most part, I guess the program would be of better use to someone who uses it on a desktop PC instead of a portable notebook. Reason for choosing Nero 9 I am loyal to Nero and anything other than Nero for me is just going to turn out to be inadequate. Review Source Wilmer P. Investigador Used the software for: 2+ years ### "With Nero 9 I have a powerful multimedia tool that allows me to better manage my work." May 8, 2018 5.0 Nero 9 is grateful to have given me the possibility of having in my own home and office a software that gives me independence when editing, burning and copying information of various kinds. Before I had to go to professionals to protect my information by creating backup copies in different formats. Now I do that with a friendly program and for an affordable price. Pros Nero 9 is a software that allows me to copy, edit, record and extract music, images and video with incredible ease. Particularly I have been impressed by the possibility of recording DVD and Blu-ray movies, with a professional quality that I have never experienced before with other products. Nero 9 is a great tool that I would recommend to anyone. Cons Nero 9 sometimes has flaws when trying to convert a video so that it can be played on other media players that do not support the original format. So when trying to burn a DVD I get "error in transcoding the videos" which means you have to cancel the process. I think that's one of the most common failures that Nero 9 has. Review Source Grisell M. Sociologa Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Its core skills remain preparing data for copying to disc and archiving." March 8, 2018 3.0 Usefull tools makes it easy to navigate. That said, the program remains one of the more powerful choices out there to burn, organize and edit files. Pros Upgrade to many features. Easy to navigate. Good value. Great range of tools, 20 different tools; now launch through a portal, which is a neat touch as it makes ending the right program for the job a lot easier. One such new tool is the TV tuner software, which allows you to change channels, record and then edit les a lot easier than simply importing them. You can find back-up tools and even online storage with this latest edition. You'll still and support for Blu-ray as well as AVCHD and an increasing emphasis on editing in HD formats. However, your projects can now be saved to disc as usual, or converted and sent straight to your portable media player, or even MySpace and YouTube. Cons Quite resource-heavy; the full set of tools takes up over a lot of of hard drive space and, unless you're really going to make the most of all the tools on offer, this suite can seem a little resource-heavy. Few new features on previous version. Isn't a great leap forward in terms of usability, but it's certainly a better proposition over earlier version. Review Source Ravindu N. Student Textiles Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Effective to burn files to disks" December 14, 2019 4.0 Most people use this only for burning and ripping, but it is a powerful media suite. Pros Nero is my favorite cd burning software. It is easy to use and Nero 9 interface is very simple. I really like video editing option because it provides me the option to save my preferred settings. I love Audio editing tool because it can edit and filter music. The most valuable feature in Nero 9 is how easy it is to copy video and music. It can edit album covers also. Nero is very fast to record and it is a very effective software. Cons Sometimes Nero can be a bit slow and takes a while to startup when I launch the software. When I try to burn a DVD the error, “error in transcoding the videos” pops up even when the disk is not damaged or corrupt. It means that I have to cancel the burning process and start all over again. Also, I will not be able to use the same disk again. In the older versions sometimes the software crashes while burning the cd. Review Source Pablo Emilio G. Ingeniero civil Civil Engineering Used the software for: 2+ years ### "With Nero 9 I can safeguard my information by making backup copies" August 6, 2018 5.0 Nero 9 has helped me a lot. I have record towers in which I have stored valuable information about my professional projects as well as family memories that I have imortalized in images and video. Nero 9 is a great application that I highly recommend. Pros Nero 9 brings together everything a multimedia program needs to make backup copies. Edit, copy and record music, video, images and data very easily. It has a very friendly and simple interface from both a functional and aesthetic point of view. I can record videos in DVD or BluRay format and they look as if a professional had done it. In the same way I can record data and physically protect it on disks which allows me to have several copies. Nero 9 is an extraordinary work tool. Cons When Nero 9 is downloaded, other applications that are not very functional and end up making the program heavier are also discarded. That should be corrected. Likewise improve customer service in terms of immediate response... Review Source Ricardo D. Tecnico Electoral Used the software for: 2+ years ### "stable and effective to burn disc" March 22, 2018 5.0 Pros It is very effective and fast to record discs, in my work it is the first option when you need to record discs to distribute. It records to perfection and does not generate errors, it has a great variety of options to record from CD to DVD in the format of files, movies, videos, data. Cons would be a complete software if it includes a module for the edition of album covers, I think it would be the only one in the market with this function, also should improve the appearance of the platform in the latest versions have not made many changes Review Source Estefanie Arlet M. Analista de Personal Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "It is an excellent software with which I protect my information creating copies in different formats" May 25, 2018 5.0 Nero 9 is a great work tool that has allowed me self-sufficiency both in the office and at home. I always observed the process of copying information on a CD or DVD as something very complex and I was unable to do so. Thanks to this simple but powerful software, today I can say that I am able to edit and copy files without needing to ask anyone for help. Pros The biggest advantage offered by Nero 9 is how easy it is to copy music and video. With other similar programs I had to seek the help of some professional, since it was very difficult for me to create a DVD or a CD to protect the information of the office. The first time I used it, it fully complied with my expectations, so much so, that I always recommend it to friends who work in other institutions and companies. Cons One of the aspects to be improved by the developers of the Nero 9 software is a problem that sometimes occurs with the conversion of formats. Not all media players on the market support the format with which the file was originally created and when I try to convert it I get "error". No doubt you have to find a solution to this problem.

Administrativo Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Excellent program to copy CDs and DVDs without errors in the copying process" March 21, 2018 5.0 I use it to copy electoral information to be distributed to the public. Pros One of the easiest programs to use, to edit discs that contain any type of information (audio, texts) as well as mixed (audio-texts). It contains several packages of different types that facilitate the editing of multimedia files. Cons It is necessary to incorporate a module for the creation and edition of covers for discs and DVDs, in this way it would complement the program to become the best on the market. Review Source Joseli R. Agente Control de Espacio Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Recording my cd's and dvd's has never been so simple." July 23, 2018 5.0 The biggest benefit is that it allows me to have my music always on my ipod, when I go to the gym I have all my music on my ipod to help me do my exercises. On the other hand at home, I connect my tv led to the computer and I can watch the movies that I want with a spectacular video quality. Truly Nero is the multimedia station that every user should have on a computer. Pros Not only is it a program to record cd's and dvd's but it is also a multimedia station, I can listen to my favorite music on my pc, create cd's in mp3 format, watch movies and even copy the audio from my cd's to my computer. It allows the possibility of making backups of my files. It preserves the NerostartSmart menu that allows me with a simple button to have access to the copy of CDs and DVDs. Cons I really like the program because it is very complete, the only thing is that it weighs too much and the cost is a bit high but it is compensated by the large number of functions it has to make my computer a very complete multimedia station.

Its super fast and the burning rate can be change according to our desire. Burning DVDs erasing and rewriting data disk was some of best features it had. There are plenty of new burning softwares and im still using this in my windows 7 personal computer to burn my DVDs. Successful burning probability was more than 98%. User interface feels bit old but its reliable and easy to use. Im using Ashampoo burning studio in my windows 10 PC. When comparing this two Ashampoo is ahead in interface but not in reliability. So Nero 9 is old but gold. Pros Easy to use User friendly interface Reliable Blue-ray support And much more features Cons Some up-to-date features are missing Interface look bit old Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Owner Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "It is a very easy to use software that enables to burn Cds with ease with many other features " July 8, 2018 4.0 I have been using Nero 9 and it's older versions to burn all my data, pictures and videos of events and it has benfited my business immensely.

January 8, 2019 5.0 Pros Nero suite was a gift to me a long time ago, but the license still applies. It is the most powerful suite of its kind for desktops, not only for burning media, but also for ripping, converting files, compressing before burning, etc. Cons Many people use Nero only for ripping and burning, not taking full advantage of all of its features. On a Windows PC, the same can be done with the standard CD-Burner, which now works well, unlike older versions of it. If you need an application to burn media, stay with what you have already bought. If you need a powerful media suite, buy Nero. Review Source Xiomara Elena B.
