Not real happy with Nero right now. Bought the 'insurance' to have multiple downloads of Nero 9, but, they say I don't have any more.

That said, it would be nice if someone had an alternative to PowerDVD
for playing Bluray...for a reasonable price.

I don't like Showtime at all. I'm not too fond of PowerDVD's current interface but I can live with it.

I like Nero Vision and Recode, but I get better results these days with Handbrake and it also supports BD recoding.

The last version of Nero for which I have a legit copy is version 8, which was substantially more bloated than 6 was. I still have it installed but free tools have largely eliminated my reasons for using it.

I havent liked nero sense about 5. Funny thing too, i havent had it installed for at least eight months now and i dont miss it either.

I've stopped bothering with it. It's just spam bundled up as a product.

For CD/DVD mastering I just install ImgBurn. Far superior design and free.

I've been using the free version of Ashampoo.

I'm using 6&7; the Blue-ray is not in the computers.

I still occasionally use Nero 6. After 6 it turned into borderline malware / bloatware.

If you like the older versions of Nero, you will like AShampoo. I believe it is a knock-off of Nero.

Does it include the conditioner?

I still use Nero 7, but only install 3 of the products out of 15 they offer. I might give ImgBurn that time mentioned a try since I haven't looked at it in a while.

Have you looked at Arcsoft TotalMedia Theater 5?

SD: No. Have you tried it?
Kind of happy with PowerDVD.
Anyone have any problems burning with Windows integral burner?

......

 

[Stereodude]

Yes, I've tried it.

I didn't think anyone used the Windows integrated burner.

 

[Santilli]

I've burned something like one disk in a very long time.
Worked fine for that.

Installed 6. Didn't like 7 Ultimate. Ran it in compatibility mode, no luck.

Don't see any reason for it. Windows burner pretty much worked.
