You have to purchase full versions of these utilities separately if you want to create MP3 files. We were also disappointed with the woefully deficient documentation provided for some modules, and by the fact that the program ships with only trial versions of its MP3 and MP3Pro encoders. If you edit video more than rarely, you'll want a dedicated package such as Pinnacle Studio 8. Its NeroVision Express 2 DVD/VCD-authoring module does a good job of creating animated menus, titles, and transitions, but its content-editing functions are limited to trimming the length of clips and dragging them around a timeline. Nero 6's biggest drawback is its very basic video-editing capabilities, which don't even let you split a movie file into two clips. (As with previous releases of Nero, all updates can be downloaded free of charge for the life of the Nero 6 product.) If all this isn't enough, Ahead even throws in a Neato disc label applicator and a handful of blank labels. Passable modules include media player and jukebox programs and an improved slide show application with basic photo-editing capabilities.Īll of this functionality is packed behind an intelligent task-oriented front end that boasts a seemingly endless array of customization options, a Favorites section, and the ability to notify you automatically when Ahead updates any module. It can perform tasks such as multiple simultaneous backups and unattended network backups on any type of Nero-supported media, and it lets you customize jobs with a good selection of filtering, prioritization, and scheduling options. Nero BackItUp is also a gem, providing wizard-based system backup capabilities. In that latter group is the new Nero SoundTrax multitrack recording program, which provides an integrated audio production environment packed with advanced sound-editing tools.
During our hands-on testing, we found most of the new programs to be at least adequate-and at best very good-for modest content-creation, authoring, and mastering tasks. Nero 6's new modules introduce a fistful of major enhancements that include DVD authoring, video capture, system backup, and multitrack audio production. The suite also contains Nero Express, a newbie-friendly version of Burning ROM that features a simpler interface. These include the Nero Wave Editor (a program for editing sound files) and Nero Cover Designer (which lets you create many types of inserts, covers, and booklets for jewel cases and DVD boxes). Nero 6 also retains several auxiliary modules.
