But if you just go to the sites for PC World and PC Magazine you can easily find the reviews. Is it Kosher to post links to those reviews in this forum? If it is, I'll add them to this thread. So while Nero wins this year, I'm not going to award either Nero or Roxio a PC Magazine Editors' Choice, because neither is as polished as it should be for the money." "If I had to buy one of the two, I would reluctantly buy Nero 9. He said he couldn't give an Editor's Choice to either one: The PC Mag reviewer was also comparing to the new Roxio suite. They managed to find one positive sentence in a generally negative review. They tried to pull the same thing with PC Magazine. Not only that but one of the opening sentences is "But Nero 8 was competent, too, and while the improvements in the new suite are most welcome, they're probably not enough to warrant upgrading from the previous version." But considering that the upgrade is $60, I suggest saving your pennies for version 10." "Nero 9 is definitely a better product than version 8, and for new users it's a great tool. Here's what that looks like in the actual review: "Nero 9 is definitely a better product than version 8, and for new users it's a great tool." The one I got today says this about a PC World Review: Not only are they unwilling "to admit all of the things they took out of Nero" - they're picking positive sentences out of context in negative reviews, and sending them out in email adverts. Overall, Nero 9 feels to me like a product that made it out the door without all of its parts! It feels as if they don't want to admit to all of things they took out of Nero. (Although another post here confirms that SecureDisc is not included.)įurthermore, as another post mentioned, it's very difficult to get a straight answer from them. The thing that strikes me is that Nero's website skirts these issues! There is nowhere on their website that says they don't support Blu-ray playback, either natively or through the use of a plugin, as in Nero 8. I've been waiting weeks for a concrete reply from Nero!) So, I have to say I was extremely unhappy to find out that Nero 9, though it touts its ability to burn Blu-rays, has no ability whatsoever to actually watch Blu-rays.ĭitto for not including SecureDisc or InCD (as far as I can tell. I have the Blu-ray/HD-DVD plugin, and I use ShowTime to watch both.
I've been a loyal Nero user for a number of years, and I'm very happy with Nero 8 Ultra. After only a few days of use, I requested a refund, as I found Nero 9 to be a giant step backwards! I wondering if other folks have been as disappointed with Nero 9 as I have been.
