Bloat software. You can get it for about the same price anytime on eBay. I had trouble with it messing and conflicting with Windows XP and had to uninstall all the extra stuff to restore the operating system. All I wanted to do is burn some Cd's and all this extra garbage came along. I was happy with Nero 5 until I started getting the blue screen of death. Nero 7 fixed this problem. I am now happy with just the Cd burner piece.

I was happy with Nero 6. Upgraded to Nero 7. Agree with #1, it's really bloated! Now Nero 8 is out. It's got even more crap! I think it's time to find a new burner program.

Just don't install all the bloatware. Nero is still the best burning program. You just gotta filter through the crap to get to it.

Isn't #4 right? Can't you just install the parts you want? What, besides this do you need to make backup copies of your DVD movies?

#5 a ripping program that will decrypt the DVD and possibly crush it down to fit on a low cost single layer DVD. I use DVDShrink mostly but sometimes it chokes on the encryption on some of the newer DVD's. When I run into this I use DVDFab and it can usually crack it then use DVDShrink to crush it down since I find it easier to use than DVDFab. DVDFab has some nice features for making files for portable media devices.

#5 You need DVD Decryptor, DVD Shrink, and Ripit4me.

Unfortunately all versions of DVD Shrink and DVD decrypter now inform the MPAA of your name, address, and IP address. *smirk*

go with clone dvd2 with anydvd through slysoft.. always sends you notice of free updated sofware keeping up with the latest so you can burn . Never a issue. So far in my opinion, best so far. What ever works for you i guess.
