Talk:Nero Multimedia Suite

IS it safe to have more than one CD Burning Software on the same computer?

Wrong place to ask, but:

On Windows, not really. There can be big conflicts, particularly with EasyCD Creator and Nero on XPSP2.

On anything else, yes.

You sure? Only problem I have is that one of them occasionally stops working, usually after the other has been updated. I'm more worried at the bloatness of their updaters. Smoothy 20:52, 6 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I usually find that the CD drive stops working entirely due to conflicting filters installed, but thats just my experience. anyway, wrong place to ask. --Kiand 00:59, 7 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

UDF is not mandatory on DVD's

DVD's do not require UDF. UDF is only required for a file system larger than 4GB.

It's perfectly "legal" to use ISO9660 on a DVD, which is in fact what most software distributed on DVD uses, when the total amount on the DVD is less than 4GB.

Yes this is completely true and I have removed the line "(actually an invalid format as DVDs are required to use UDF)" accordingly. Although I'm a bit unsure about your 4GB line. Are you sure it's true? I know ISO9660 doesn't support files larger then 2GB but I've never read of any 4GB total file systme limit and I'm pretty sure I've seen commercially mastered DVDs with ISO9660 larger then 4GB (some even dual layer IIRC).

The 2gig ISO9660 filesize limit is why .VOB files of DVD videos are no larger than 2gig each.

Disc speed problems

Nero Burning ROM has issues with supporting all the speeds a drive and CD-RW or DVD-+RW disc support.

I have an Ultra Speed CD-R/DVD+-RW (+R only for dual layer) drive made by LG. I had Nero 6 and on some 24x Memorex CD-RW discs it would only allow them to be used at 10x or 16x. At 16x they would not burn without CRC errors. I upgraded to Nero 7.0.5.4 and now 24x is allowed but 10x is gone! Great 'upgrade'! Now these particular discs cannot be used at all on this 2.35Ghz PC.

I also have some HP 12x High speed CD-RW discs. Nero 6 would only allow them to be used at 10x. Nero 7 does the same.

This non-support for ALL speeds a drive and CD-RW disc supports has been a long time problem with Nero Burning ROM.
