nero stuffs up once again

[pharlap]

go get the newest version if you don't want to be making frisbies at high speeds

[defense]

do people ACTUALLY still use INFERO? Oh, I don't want to ruffle anyones feathers. RecordNow Max is the best DVD Program i've ever used and I've used them ALL. Nero is a joke and has ridiculous upgrades that are really DOWNGRADES. I've said it time and time again, and will continue to say it. I've dumped Nero long ago and haven't had a burning issue due to RecordNow Max since.

It is obvious that you dumped it a long time ago as the last few releases have worked fine. Quit discouraging people from using a good product. Just because you prefer something else does not mean that everything else is bad.

[LSchafroth]

Nero is a rock solid product. it also has a great team behind it, constantly providing updates. When it messes up on a update, a new one is online in a matter of days. Sometimes just hours.

Very sloid product. In fact, it's NEVER crashed on me or caused problems.

PS I've been using it since 97.

[kcalczab]

just 2 say, its my first weapon of choice when i got the sony 500a and its fine.

flys along well

[SLICK RICK]

I use NERO EXPRESS with my Sony-DRX500ULX and always get great results.

[gcutler]

I've found that most problems with SW are people who have not upgraded to the latest version/patch (or got the bleeding edge hardware before the patch was out for it). There is always a certain period between problem and patch, and that determines which SW to use as the most responsive often keep their customers.

[defense]

lol..I really get a kick out of people like you who don't realize the facts or are too naive to realize them.

Nero is a rock solid product. it also has a great team behind it, constantly providing updates

Nero has a support team working constantly on updates huh? lol..OF COURSE THEY DO...they have to UPDATE THE BUGS!! And when they update the ANTS, they INTRODUCE ROACHES...When they UPDATE THE ROACHES, they introduce SPIDERS.....it is NEVER ENDING WITH INFERO!

Real software doesn't need to be updated every damn week. Read the RecordNow Max threads, the only problems people EVER have with that AMAZING software is that they need to figure out to select DATA on the tab. Nero has many flaws and just because you people use it doesn't mean it's as great as you proclaim. Some people have been fortunate with Nero, while MANY OTHERS have experienced its many flaws and glitches. It was dumped a long time ago because it SUCKS! Long Live the Best DVD Burning software out. RECORDNOW MAX!

[JamesB69]

Ok dude, nero puts out an update the last day of each month. If there is something messed up they will fix it before then but count on the last day of the month. It is good to see a software team constantly trying to improve their product.

You prefer something else go for it. Dont start spreading lies and cutting down the hard work of many. They had one or two bad releases where the dvd-video template was bad. THEY FIXED IT, GET OFF YOUR SOAPBOX

[defense]

LMAO....

It hurts to laugh so hard. You gotta be kiddin'. RecordNow Max hasn't had an update in MONTHS...you know why? ...BECAUSE IT WORKS PERFECTLY...there is no need for an update. They will release one to fix MINOR things..but when you can just burn a disk with RNM and have it play in just about every player possible as well as PSX AND XBOX, then they don't really need an update. Nero has had MANY more problems then one or two. Again, READ THE THREADS! Don't start spreading lies?...BWAHHH..what I spread is REALITY.....a five letter word called "FACTS."

[LSchafroth]

defensIVE

had to change the spelling of your name.

[JamesB69]

Hey read your so called threads, they are people with older versions.
If you think RecordNow max has no issues, you are just too stupid to see it. There is no bug free software. I dont know about anybody else but i would rather have software that the company strives to perfect it.

You said RecordNow releases fixes to fix "MINOR" things. I think it would be necessary to release fixes for the MAJOR things.

I am not saying it is a bad product dont get me wrong. But some people are just too biased, close minded, and retarted.

again a five letter word called "STUPID"

[thxkid]

the problem with defense is he is so DEFENSIVE, I have read his other threads, he is always right and what ever product he uses is only the best and everything else sucks, just cause HE can't geti t to work then everyone else is suppose to suffer, what a clown.
Is recordnow good yes only if you use Recordnow Max or Recordnow DX, is Nero good, no problems with the version I use, matter of fact I have both and use either when I see fit.
I know why defense has so many problems he uses the ever popular -R burners which has issues using most software anyway.

[JamesB69]

ive never had a problem with my -r burner. I never have really seen why people get so heated over the +/- battle anyways. Just accept what other people use, take their advice, and hopefully they will be as thoughtful. Everybody has an opinion or a preference, some people just tend to think theirs is the only one

[bdgriff]

Hate to break it to ya...Five letter word STUPID??? Last time I counted it was SIX...LOL

[defense]

JamesB69, your comments about spreading lies just made me want people to see the truth even more. I guess the only one that is stupid is the one who can't count past "FIVE" lol

You said RecordNow releases fixes to fix "MINOR" things. I think it would be necessary to release fixes for the MAJOR things.

Again, and I'll type it SLLLOOWEERR, so please pretend i'm saying it slloowerrr. RNM doesn't have MAJOR problems. Say that a few times to yourself. If you like Nero, then great, at least I know you won't have a problem spelling it, since it's only a "FOUR" letter word.


thxkid, show me some posts where I've said because I use a product it HAS to be the best. Your running off with your finger and have little clue of what you are talking about. I tell the facts like they are..if a program doesn't do what it SHOULD do or what it advertises it's supposed to do, then I will let it be known. RecordNow Max isn't the BEST because I use it, it is the best because it does what it should do and does it without problem. READ THE THREADS, there are at least 30 others who say the same thing, while twice as many people have the same problems with Nero.

I have said the same thing about DVD2ONE. I said if it works for someone, then great for them..but my experience and tests were not good ones. Many people like yourself thx are overshadowed by fantasy as opposed to reality. Don't you think I would love for a program like DVD2ONE or a burning software to be one step and flawless? Of course I would, but even people who started those threads asked for no "negative" feedback on the product. lol.....that's not an "open" minded type of person now is it?

People want to believe the easiest way is always the best. At any rate, many products I use are FAR from the best, but they are what I have. But when it comes to burning RNM is CLEARLY the BEST.

By the way, I know why you decided to pop your head out of your shell on this topic thx...it has to do with the comment I made regarding the post on how people mark their blank DVD's. You went off topic about glossy and professional labels and your not having playback issues...blah blah blah..when the thread had nothing to do with playback issues or glossy labels. I made a comment that I'm glad I don't really care about how the surface of a DVD looks because it's time consuming enough to back many of them up and looks of the dvd itself don't interest me...the look of the playback does.

I know why defense has so many problems he uses the ever popular -R burners which has issues using most software anyway.

Wrong again thx, I use the ever popular, worlds first introduced, SONY multiformat burner..DRU500a. It burns (-R/RW) AND (+R/RW.) 8)

[harrymj3]

I bought the box version of Record Now Max a few months ago mostly because of the glowing posts about it but my Nero has worked so well that I've never installed it. Oh well if Nero EVER gives me a problem I have an alternative. .................... harrymj3

As one of the poor suckers who have been a registered Record Now Max user.
In my experience, their software is extremely limited, is one of the great coaster makers of all time. Has a real easy interface for beginners and I feel the RN is marketed for beginners who don't ask many questions.

If one is using RN for one and only one function, maybe it works well for them. Their support is among the worst in the industry and their forum is a joke, posts don't get posted for sometimes hours or days. Their documentation incorrect and Stomp has no control whatsoever about upgrades which is why they just leave they're limitations as is.

As I was told by Stomp, their frustration is that Record Now Max is made not made by them. They are always waiting on Veritas whether Veritas feels like making upgrades.

Record Now Max still does not do SVCD at all, in the music arena, they do not support VBR format for MP3s, there is no CD/DVD label program with it and you can't even export a playing list to copy over to another product to help in making labels. They're error messages are incredibly cryptic. So much so that the last time I used it, trying to do some ISO work, which made coasters of course. I had their one knowledgeable and helpful staff member, e-mail a large list of error messages and what they mean. I off course finished the job in Nero.

It is more of an issue how limited and immature as a product , where there are political issues between the marketing company (Stomp) and Veritas, than how good Nero is.
I truly believe Record Now Max's extreme limitations and terrible technical support make it the worse product of any burner in the industry including any freeware I have tried. It probably is a excellent product for beginners and end users who might do one thing and one thing only and like to accept what ever the defaults are. It does have the simplest front end for those type of users.

[defense]

jolo your post has MANY contradictions. Just to name a one..you must be a computer genius since RecordNow max is so BASIC and so much for Beginners however, such an EXPERT would need to contact Technical support for help. lol...bro...get real...this isn't about Tech Support..it's about the product itself. You made coasters huh? Sure you did....then it was probably something that you did which a BEGINNER shouldn't of done.

RNM does NOT need an upgrade. The software is INCREDIBLE and I could still use the latest version of NERO if I wanted...but Nero is a complete joke. Read my posts...it's obvious by all of my posts, i'm retaliating....I'm not the one getting "defensive", i'm stating FACTS, and facts that MANY others have stated. RecordNow Max allows users a very simplistic way to get incredible DVD burns and does NOT need to upgrade every other day. When Veritas/Stomp does upgrade, it will be an "upgrade" NOT a "downgrade." Keep enjoying Nero..that's fine...but I'm gonna continue to make solid disk after solid disk with RNM.

[drewson99]

thxkid, you sound like a f*cking broken record, or in your vocabulary a broken DVD-R.

here are some "highlights" of the first third of the list of the first of ten pages of posts (about 1/30th of the total) by thxkid:

I know why defense has so many problems he uses the ever popular -R burners which has issues using most software anyway.

Plus name brand +R's are cheaper than name brand -R's, I can't find any place selling a name brand -R like +R verbatuim's for $2 a disc.

you -R people are blowing crap again

While the prices of the -R media is going up the +R just keeps dropping, I can get name brands +R's for $2 and good generic brands for $1.60, can't even find name brands for the -R for less than $2.69

can't wait until circuit city or best buy gets one of these Sony's in so I can go show off how a +R will play in it and make those idiot salesman jaws drop.

your all wrong again, ever read a Panasonic DVD-R recorders manual, it is in Black and White, "Does not support or play +R format". Yeah thats why I can play my +R's in both of my DMR-E10 and E20

by the way if you -R people ever read anything on +R format ...

excuse me, GUYS, but ever read a panasonic DVD recorder Manual, Daaa, its says right in there in BLABK AND WHITE, that these recorders do not support or will not play DVD+R, I have the DMR-E10 and the E20 and both play my +R formats perfect, actually I can get +R to play in ALL DVD's that quote they will not support or play +R formats so its just all bullshit.

I get verbatim +R right at my Sam's club for $2 each can't buy any Name brand locally in the -R format that cheap...

I assure you this is a valid cross section of the rest.

You had a perfectly reasonable complaint to make about defense (your opinion) and you had to taint it with yet another 2 cents of "DVD-R format sucks".

Can I just say for the record, WE ALL KNOW YOUR OPINION ON THE -R FORMAT. Maybe you can stick to the subject from now on.

RecordNow users UNITE! I'm with defense on this topic,Nero is a bug ridden program that is misery to burn DVD's with.
Q:Why don't other burn programs release bug fixes every week?
A:Because they get it right before they release their product and they just update the drive database with a 50KB file instead of a 13+MB file.

Nero has always had a bug or 3.

Bun/Cue
SVCD
DVD Video.

Since Nero updates every 30 days, why can't they fix a 3 year old bug?

lol..yep...great point about the file size..that is true..their downgrades are always the same or bigger then the original software..lol

lol...I guess they want to continue to "fool" people into thinking they are working AROUND THE CLOCK on software updates each and every day, so that people FEEL like they are getting so MUCH MORE with Nero. Yea, they are right though...they are getting MORE PROBLEMS and MORE Headaches. lol..it's funny how people use clouded judgment when they "pay" for software and have it continuously have bug after bug. They want to feel as though they got a good buy. Oh well, I no longer have any Nero problems.

[cegli]

Personally, defense I think you have a little too much free time. Next time you make an argumentative post on the internet remember:

Arguing on the internet is like competing in the Special Olympics. Even if you win you’re still retarded.

Alright I know ^^that's^^ terrible, but I just had to say it.
Anyway I personally tried RecordNow and it would not burn my DVD+RWs. After about 2 days of getting really pissed off I switched to Nero and haven't had any problems. Does that mean Nero is better? Not necessarily. Maybe it’s better for me, but not everyone. If you have problems with Nero use RecordNow. If you have problems with RecordNow or don't like its simplicity then don't use Nero... Simple as that. At least in my small world anyway.

Well, I want you to train hard and at least come in third out of 3 people so I will make this quick. I am not "arguing" about anything, i'm stating facts. This author of this thread made it a point to say Nero sucks and you'll make coaster after coaster with the software. Whether it is true with the newest version or not makes no difference to me, because I know all about Nero and their bugs and I was confirming what the author said is definitely true regarding Nero. I'm not trying to win any arguement..lol....I could care less because i'm gonna be using REAL SOFTWARE to burn my movies. 8)
