Customer Reviews

Nero 8 == Bloatware
Be warned - before buying, download the trial version and use it in anger for a few days. After the first day Nero Scout - yet another indexing application - will have hogged all your PC's resources and slowed everything to a snails pace. Provided you dont need Nero Home you would be well advised to disable Nero Scout - just to enable you to do other work!!!
As a burner the application is great - but why oh why do we have to pay for all the other bloatware.

Problems with Nero 8 / Nero Vision 5
I have been using Nero products for many years, but never again.
Nero 8 works well until you come to edit DVDs using Nero Vision, when audio and visuals go out of synch. Customer services have been absolutely useless and take an age to respond. After many hours I have now reverted back to Nero 7 which works. I have been told by customer services that Nero Vision 5 is a little fussy and the problem resides with my source files - how come Nero 7,Roxio and Windows DVD maker have no problems with the same source files? I finally gave up when customer services suggested I pay for / download another programme to convert the files in to another format and then convert with Nero 8!!!

The product not too bad,the Company Horrible
I purchased the software at a retail store. I had problems,e-mailed their tech support and worked with them. Due to nature of the "Fix", had to download the software. Had to Pay for the download.

Since Download not needed because I already owned the software, spent months truing to get a refund, all to no avail. Company refused refund due to it being a download. They fought this every way they could, and I ended up "Out" the $81+.

Really good companies like Corel do not have problems like this.

My opinion, DO NOT DO Business with this company. This is the first and only problem I ever had with a company doing business on the internet, and I purchase almost everything on the internet. STAY AWAY........
