Nero 8 Ultra - anyone using it?

Just wondering if anyone has installed Nero 8 Ultra; if the install
worked better than v7.xx, or if there were problems.

I want to know if it is *even more* bloated. What new roles does it want to
play now?

I gave it 10 minutes and went back to 7. IOW I won't be looking for a version 9
either.
7 works fine. I'd actually be using 6.6 if it worked on Vista.

I just finished downloading & installing it. No problems with the install.
Haven't used it yet.

No problems with the install - custom install (didn't want all the
features). Burning and Lightscribe work well. Still no normalization
when recording an MP3 disk (would be a good feature as I put 8 or 9 CD's
on one disk in MP3 format to play in my truck stereo). Haven't tried any
of the video recording yet.

Thanks,

Guess I'll try it & see how it goes.

Nero have introduced product activation for the new version. Get ready for
lots of complaints and people saying we should be using open source burning
software instead!

I'm using it and the only problem I had was an intermittent Startsmart
refusing to open, but that seems to have vanished.,
Nero have free support for the month of October for Nero 8....so find out
what's wrong quickly and get on that phone...LOL

I installed the downloaded version (you have to remember to uninstall any
prior versions first) and it went without any problems. The only concern is
that during the install it takes quite awhile on some portions and you
wonder if the program has hung the computer. You just have to be patient
and it'll finally work its way through. I found this to be common on
several earlier versions. I've always purchased the download version
on-line. The interface is different and I haven't passed judgement on that
yet.

I use the download method too. I'm not very struck by the new Startsmart -
preferred the old one.
