CD recording has been given a boost with the recent release of Ahead Software`s all-in-one CD recording solution, Nero 5.5.
With its predecessor being an already feature-rich application, Nero 5.5 adds several significant enhancements including a complete and non-destructive audio editor, the ability to create compatible MPEG data for Video CD recording, a full MPEG 1 video encoder and a VCD/SVCD menu creator.
"Nero 5.5 is a complete and comprehensive music editing and CD burning solution that will certainly impress the local market," says Gary Naidoo, national product manager at CompuTrolley.com, official local distributor of Ahead software. "It`s simple enough for the casual user to be able to produce creative, professional-level recordings, while providing the enhanced features necessary to meet the needs and challenges of the consummate user."
Two additional features, available only in the Nero retail package, include a virus checker and an advanced drive image tool. When activated, the virus checker, which can be regularly updated via the Internet, scans the files of the compilation before burning to CD. "In addition, the drive image feature enables users to view or run the contents of an image file through Microsoft Explorer prior to burning," notes Naidoo.
To take advantage of the latest generation of higher speed drives, the Nero CD Speed 99 application has been added to improve recording routines, CD Text routines and gives users the added option of simulating the creation of the DAE Quality Test disc. Combined with Nero`s capacity to write to as many as 32 CD-R/RW drives simultaneously using an enhanced true multi-tasking CD-Recording engine, Nero 5.5 users are virtually assured of never being constrained by the demands of 16X or greater recording. To complete the package, the product also includes a full-featured Cover Designer application and a Wave Editor, providing users with an unprecedented level of creative control.
