Installation
 

Before we can show you anything of the new Nero 6 software we first have to install the software. After inserting the Nero 6 disc into a drive we can see the installation screen as displayed below. When clicking on one of the options we can install the desired product:


Installation Screen

As you can see we can install Nero 6, NeroVision Express 2, InCD 4, EasyWrite Reader, Nero Media Player and extra background pictures and menu templates for the NeroVision software via the last option, Content + Templates. Below you can see some screenshots of software being installed:

NeroVision Express Requires DirectX 9.0a

After installing the various software items we can of course find new entries in our Start menu. Notice that the items are now grouped in a folder called Nero (in version 5.5 the items are grouped in a folder called Ahead Nero). Also notice that the items have undergone some design changes. They now have more of a Windows XP style:

As you can see there are a lot of new programs available after installing the various software items. Notice that there is also an item called User's Guides in which you can find guides for Nero BackItUp, Nero Burning ROM, Nero Cover Designer, Nero Express, Nero ShowTime, Nero SoundTrax, Nero Wave Editor and NeroVision Express.

On the next few pages we're going to show you what the new programs can be used for. We'll of course also take a look at the items that are already familiar such as Nero Burning ROM and Cover Designer. Let's start with Nero StartSmart on the next page.

Thanks for the sneak preview.
How come you didn't (get to) preview NeroMix? Seems only to be available in the U.S. (Ultra edition) for some reason.
sorry,

interesting preview and yes Nero 6 looks nice but frankly I dont find it nice enough to shell out 59.00-79.00 particularly since I have yet to see a version of InCD 4 that works properly.
Thanks for the excellent review. Great job as always!

I just hope this won't be as bloated and as buggy as Easy Coaster Creator :r.

And I see no mention of support for the excellent Ogg Vorbis and FLAC audio formats. But they still support this crappy WMA :r.
My opinion is for the 59-79 I would expect a program that can copy any protection like CloneCD or CDmate does and a DVD movie copier like DVDXCopy or CloneDVD all in one package.

(Hint, Hint, Elby come out with a package software that is 1 app that does it all).

Later all

Is Nero 6 going to be limited to the Joliet file format which only supports up to 64 characters for file names? Or will it support the ability to create files with file names larger than 64 characters?

cya
One more thing: I agree that the price is high... but that's not a problem. For that price you can buy a new cd burner with Nero 6 bundled :B

When creating a new compilation you indeed have an option called 'Relax Joliet restrictions' under which an option is available that says 'allow more than 64 characters for Joliet names'.

I thought it had been reported that 'relax joliet restrictions' in 5.5 did not actually work properly - can anyone confirm this?
What about ISO-9660 version 2?
what i like to see in nero6:
- support for the romeo file format
- a possibility to save thewindow layout on exit
Well, will there be any compatibility problems if I select 'allow more than 64 characters for Joliet names'.

Also, whats the max characters I can have in a file name after selecting this option.

I have a habit of giving very long names to files & so for burning my personal data I use RecordNow Max as it allows 200+ characters in a file name.
:)
ISO-9660 v2 is supported!!!
Totally un-reliable.
Most of the time the 'BURN' option is shaded out.
Ugly old fashioned software.:o
:*
ya
Nero BackItUP in Nero 6 is garbage. it sucks. It doesn't support selected restore of what you backed up. WTF????
