Nero 6.6.0.8 out

Think the servers have slowed to a crawl right now but the new version of Nero (6.6.0.8) can be found at the following places:
ftp://ftp.us.nero.com/Nero-6.6.0.8.exe
ftp://ftp.ahead.de/Nero-6.6.0.8.exe
ftp://ftp.de.nero.com/Nero-6.6.0.8.exe
ftp://ftp.nero.com/Nero-6.6.0.8.exe
No changelog yet but then that's nothing new is it ;)
Think I'll wait until everyone is sleeping before I download it :p:

Re: Nero 6.6.0.8 out

This is probably the "Ligtscribe support" update, about a week late, actually.

6.6.0.x is just about reaching acceptability - 6.6.0.6 was the first that got the bugs under control - if you are on a late 6.3.x.x, you may still wish to hold fire.

It's not a crucial upgrade (nor a free one) from 5.5.10.56 (the last of the 5.5's) - if you're using 5.5 and are happy with it, I'd very strongly advise staying right where you are!

The main thing Nero 6 brings, is an irritating Smartstart, and the loss of "Wizard mode" - either you pick an option from Smartstart, use the appalling "Express" mode, or jump in at the deep end with no rubber rings.

I liked Wizard mode in 5.5 - it was a well set up entry to the most often used features, and jumping straight to "Continue Multisession" seems to have been left out of the "easy" options in 6.x

Also, it's generally slower compared to 5.5

The downloads serve all three purposes, Demo, Upgrade and registerable - if you have ANY previous version, be sure to buy the UPGRADE reagistration, it's a little cheaper.

If you don't mind the "Express" interface (I hate it), then you can get hold of OEM versions cheap.
Suite 1 is the CD suite (will also work with DVD), but has no MPEG2 encoding, so cannot do SVCD or DVD-Video unless already encoded in suitable MPEG2 format.
Suite 3 is the DVD Suite, includes MPEG2 encoding
