What is Nero Standard Suite

Nero is a burning software that allows its users to burn information and other files to CDs, DVDs and Blu-Ray Discs. The main functions of this program are that it allows users to burn ISO files to CDs, DVDs, and Blu-ray players, as well as copy the files that are found on each of the aforementioned mediums. Another function that this program has is that it is able to completely erase discs that are considered to be rewritable, allowing new information to be saved without having to compete for space.

Another use of this program is that it can be used to rip audio CDs and transfer the files to a writable CD or computer program that will save it and allow it to be listened to at a later date. This drastically lowers the amount of money that needs to be spent on music. Any over-burning is supported, which allows users to burn more ISO files and other information than the CD is technically supposed to be able to hold. Finally, the speed at which the information is burned, regardless of the size of the file, is very fast, allowing for greater productivity to be achieved.

Pros of Downloading Nero:

  • High Burning Quality: When information is burned from the computer or from another CD, DVD or Blu-ray disc, the quality level will be very high, meaning that there will be no glitching, warped noise or other problems that could disrupt the experience for the person using the disc. The quality of any sounds that are recorded will be comparable to listening to it on a CD or on an album.
  • Many Different Tools to Choose From: Nero supports a wide variety of different tools that will allow users to split large files into smaller ones to be stored on multiple CDs, for over-burning to be as effective as possible, and for stability issues to be resolved or prevented completely.
  • Supports SecurDisc: SecurDisc is a type of program that will allow discs to be password protected, meaning they cannot be accessed except by those who have the necessary information, and will protect the discs from being damaged as a result of scratching or excessive use.
  • Configurable Writing Speed: Depending on when the disc is needed, the writing speed can be easily configured.

Cons of Downloading Nero:

  • Difficult User Interface: The design for the user interface, or the control panel a user will utilize to burn the necessary information, is slightly difficult to use because it seems to be very outdated. It may take a user a few minutes to get used to the panel before maximum efficiency is able to be obtained.
  • Extended Installation Time: Many users have reported that it takes awhile for Nero to install fully, which makes it less useful for rush jobs or on-the-spot download decisions. By planning ahead with regard to this software, it is possible to completely mitigate any ill effects of an extended installation time.
