Negative
- Slightly slow startup for the different components
- More advanced options a little too well-hidden
Conclusion
Nero 8 StartSmart has a fresh, user-friendly design, which I liked. This is a big improvement over Nero 7 StartSmart, and the rich features are easy to access. With a separate plug-in, support for playback and burning of high-definition media has been added, a welcome addition in our opinion.
Although the package may be a little too loaded with features for some, it’s a great option for other users who want one software which will do it all, and it does just what it says on the tin (and more).
On the other hand, the two negative points I found were that each component does take a little while to load, and the advanced options for each part of the software are fairly well-hidden – so a little digging is required to familiarise yourself with those options first.
To sum up, this is what I’d say about the new Nero 8 StartSmart: Although some of the advanced options are quite well hidden, the newly designed software is comfortable to use. There’s something for everyone, from new to more advanced users.
This rounds off our quick look at Nero 8 StartSmart, and its features and enhancements. Please feel free to comment, on the article or the software, in this thread.
Introduction
As for Nero 8 I find the menu a refreshing change making the application easier to use for the beginner. At first I liked the status message that appeared in the screen showing you what the program was doing. Unfortunately, there are times when it is not completely visable making it hard to read. I would have preferred a text box with a clear background so that it was clearly visable. I would have also like to have seen an option that would toggle the menu on or off for the beginner or advanced user.
Still the new look does make the application friendlier than earlier versions which should broaden it's appeal. Personally, I feel like the application is the Cadillac of the CD and DVD burning apps!
