Local software republisher Phoenix Global Software has introduced the latest version of the popular CD and DVD application suite, Nero, from Ahead Software.
Nero 6 Reloaded contains a wealth of new features and functionality and adds a new dimension in usability, says Simon Campbell-Young, CEO of Phoenix.
"As CD and DVD recording becomes a de facto means of data transfer, Ahead has introduced upgrades to Nero that reflect the industry`s drive to making technology more accessible and easier to use than ever before. With this suite, recording of any kind of data is made simple, removing complexity from a regularly performed task," he says.
Along with seamless application linking that guides users through the digital media creation process, Nero 6 includes an intelligent product launcher. Called StartSmart 2, it makes even the most challenging CD or DVD recording tasks effortless. StartSmart 2 also integrates intuitively with Windows auto play, opening automatically whenever a blank CD or DVD is inserted in readiness for the start of a project.
Several existing modules within the Nero suite have been updated in the new version.
Both Nero Burning ROM 6 and Nero Express 6 now support ISO 9660:1999 for multi-system compatibility, automatic media size detection, increased verification options, and short lead out recording that can give an additional 12MB of data space on a standard CD.
Demanding video editing and authoring tasks are set to become a thing of the past with NeroVision Express 3. It supports the import and editing of DVD-VR on DVD-RW/DVD-RAM, and accepts content directly from DVD+VR, DVD-VR, DVD-Video, SVCD and VCD discs. "As such, NeroVision Express 3 represents a step forward in digital video; it also offers improved smart encoding for audio and video, which means existing media data can be processed faster and more accurately, while speed and quality improvements have been introduced in the integrated MPEG-2 encoder," continues Campbell-Young.
The `Reloaded` update also includes an additional photo-image utility that allows the easy viewing, importing and editing of digital photos and images. Nero PhotoSnap makes the whole process to CD and DVD as transparent as possible adding even more value to the Photo and Video section of the Nero 6 Suite.
"Nero 6 Reloaded is the most complete all-in-one Digital Media Solution available today; its popularity is reflected in the fact that the Nero OEM suite has become the chosen bundled software of some of the biggest names in CD, DVD and consumer electronic markets," concludes Campbell Young.
Nero 6 Reloaded is available countrywide at R899.
