Write your own review. Nero 9 Reloaded does a good job of ripping, burning and editing a wide range of audio and video formats, but it's not as easy to use as our current media suite of choice, the slightly more expensive Roxio Creator Sign up for our daily newsletter Newsletter. Nero Nero 9 Reloaded review Software. I may not have grown visible older waiting for the install to complete but it certainly felt like it as the various modules were copied to my hard disk. You can still access the various elements of the product from the Windows Start Menu or use the desktop icon which launches the SmartStart front-end that provides the means to launch the different features.

Each category contains a range of tools available to the user. You can also edit audio and video before posting it on sites that include YouTube and MySpace. Home Entertainment has two main sections dealing with applications that are either computer-based or television-based. Support is provided for a range of TV tuner devices. You can pause, record, schedule and play TV content using software that integrates with Windows Media Centre including Windows 7 with the Reloaded version.

The Backup section allows you to make a copy of a disk. But there are some enhancements, although these might not be immediately obvious or be of use to everybody. Whereas previously HD High Definition video was supported for burning to optical media, you can now also archive HD content to a hard disk, USB flash drive or memory card.

You can then take that content and play it back using an appropriate drive such as Blu-ray. You can create schedules; select specific files, folders or drives to be backed up; and opt for the most appropriate compression level with encryption protected by a password.

More advanced features include the use of file filters and notification by email to confirm a backup has been completed. StartSmart's "Make Photo Slide Show" choice really just opens the video editor, wrapping a theme with a title and transitions around your pictures. There's no integrated way to share online either these slideshows or photos you've edited or embellished in PhotoSnap—something both Windows Live Photo Gallery and Picasa do with aplomb.

Roxio Creator suffers from this same limitation, while CyberLink does a little better, with integrated Flickr uploading. Should You Reload Nero? I do like that Nero 9 Reloaded is less cumbersome and less buggy than the previous one was, but the included software tools—especially the video- photo-editing apps aren't improved enough to keep up with pace of improvements in the competition. Therefore, I'm lowering my rating of the software, which lets Roxio leapfrog over it this time around.

More Video Editing Reviews:. Good 3. Bottom Line The Reloaded version of Nero 9 brings little new to the party. Its smaller and faster installation comes at the expense of live TV watching software. And though you get automatic backup including limited online storage and PowerPoint import, competitors offer more and slicker tools. Pros Faster installation. Adds limited online backup. Designs disc labels. Mixing and scratching for DJ creations.

Detailed and easy burning apps. Burn PowerPoint slideshows to disc. Cons No video rotation. Many of the apps have outdated UIs and lack usability. Little integration with online sharing.
