Review by Zen

This rating of 3 stars reflects ease of use, features, compatibility against price. There are many free products out there but Nero has always been my go to to edit and burn video files when I want a good quality burn. I had not used recent versions, so was pleasantly surprised to find out that it now has several features to share and even import online videos. This program was easy to install, although it does take up quite a bit of space and needs some good processing power when burning movies so it’s no good on the basic laptops.

I was careful given other reviews to not install any bloatware on my machine like AVG Antivirus. It installed easily, and I was able to view and burn movies and music files onto discs. The online sharing features are great as I hardly burn any DVDs/CDs anymore, it’s all digital. It can upload the files to a cloud, a mobile device or to a shared network. Absolutely needed.

The new edition has almost too many features and if you’re a newbie it’s good to take the time to get to know it well as it can be pretty confusing. Especially as they’ve updated the interface to integrate better with Windows 8 it took me a while to figure out as I was used to the older interface. It supports iOS and Android and also has a play to TV feature that I haven’t used.

Nero is still great as far as burning movies is concerned. This edition support multiple formats to UltraHD. It does take time but is relatively error free, just use a laptop with a powerful processor.
