 - toms factsI cannot download this product to my computer because it is not compatible with windows vista. Rating:  - Stay away from Nero & Ahead softwareBuggy bloat. And I thought Microsoft was bad. Nero used to be the best through version 6. Not anymore, stay away. You will find your windows corrupted, bugs in every module, $1.29/minute "support" by phone (you are supporting their mansions), and the program is very difficult to completely remove. Roxio or one of the free burning programs is a far better choice. Rating: - Frustrating at bestThis program has wasted SO MUCH of my time, rebooting, trying to figure out what I am doing wrong (only to find it wasn't me), and scouring their website forums for help. I still use the DVD authoring portion, as I am still trying to get familiar with the Vegas Video DVD Architect program (which appears to be much better), but even the DVD authoring portion of this seems designed for gradeschoolers as it is very limited in the variety of layouts/buttons/etc. it will allow you to use. The forums are usually of no help, as it is populated with aging Nero lackeys trying to tell you that what you want to do with their limited software is a flaw in your creativity, not their software! The CD-rom itself is not sealed within the package, so MAKE SURE YOU WANT THIS before you buy it since the disk isn't sealed and never was (I got mine as a gift that I changed my mind about--the store we got it from had it on the shelf with the security tape already breached by another customer who apparently brought it back and my significant other didn't notice this before taking it off the shelf. When we tried to return, they wouldn't accept it back because the disk inside was also not sealed). If video quality is important, again AVOID--this program tends to want to re-encode just about everything you throw at it--it's definition of DVD-compliant is a very narrow one and you may end up waiting hour after hour for a re-encode to take place, only to find a big red error message when you get up in the morning--a message never deciperable or vague at best (could not insert file. Click OK). thanks. I hope potential buyers of subsequent editions read these reviews before purchasing ANY of the Nero products. Skip this lemon and go right to Vegas Video and Vegas DVD Architect for your DVD-authoring needs. Rating: - Terrible, Terrible, Terrible.....Full of bugs, lack of technical support-CD and MP3 files skip-can not burn CD's without clicks. Impossible to to fix. Don't waste your money! Rating: - BEWAREI run a older version of Nero software. It is still upgradeable (according to them). I bought one of their plugin pkgs (downloaded). I installed it and it promptly broke my Nero version to the point I had to uninstall both the new pkg and my Nero version and then completely reinstall the previous Nero pkg. I got NO help from their customer support. I GOT A REFUSAL to refund my money. So, BEWARE, you might get screwed too.
