(This capability is a bit of a moot point in the meantime Blu-ray burners and media are not yet available in the United States.) Likewise, Nero 7 can capture, edit, and export HD-DVD, but you can't burn a disc yet, since there isn't a final format. Nero can also burn Blu-ray data discs (using Burning ROM, Express, and InCD), but there isn't a final video format yet, so it can't create a Blu-ray video disc yet. Disc-burning tools Nero Express (the simplified disc-creation app) and InCD (the packet-writing app for using rewritable CDs, such as floppy disks) have slightly improved interfaces. Nero Home lets you use a PC-compatible remote to browse and select your media files from your couch.Īll of Nero's applications benefit from this upgrade, but some more noticeably than others. We like that Nero Home offers time-shifting for those with TV tuner cards and a video feed, but we wish the program included niceties such as the ability to download listings or CD cover art (a representative told us that cover art downloading will come soon as a free upgrade). You'll need to wait a few seconds for your files to appear when you make a selection. Nero Home is, likewise, a sluggish performer. Scout's initial indexing of our hard drive took hours on our test system, which didn't even have that many files on it, so don't plan on using it immediately. Driving Nero Home is Nero Scout, a new database program that catalogs all of your media files.
You'll need to supply your own remote (or any wireless pointing device, such as a mouse), but Nero Home lets you select files from the couch. Nero Home provides a Windows XP Media Center experience without Media Center, and offers an already familiar-looking big-icon view of your files, which it divides into groups: Audio, Playlists, Photos, Video and TV, and Devices. Now, with Nero Home, it moves into media playback. Nero Home marks new territory for Nero 7, which began with disc-creation tools, then added media-editing tools. Simple controls let you change the color. Nero's SmartStart is your first stop before choosing the app you really want.
