StartSmart
 

Nero StartSmart icon Nero StartSmart is quite a simple program which displays the installed components of Nero and of course let's you select them. With StartSmart you can easily select any kind of compilation you want to create after which the proper software is automatically started. Below you can see some screenshots of Nero StartSmart:

If you look closely you can see that Nero StartSmart is currently in the Expert Mode. When you switch to Standard Mode you will have less options available. A nice feature of StartSmart is that you can completely change its colours and thus give the program a personal touch:

Last but not least you can also go to the Nero ProductCenter where you can find more information on the installed Nero products:

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????
