Nero incomplete
I bought Nero 9 on 25th September 2009 from Amazon. After opening the package on receiving it which included a quick setup booklet and the cdrom. I put the cdrom into my drive and clicked install. Up came the usual request write your serial no. Before I could look for this the request had changed and in its place was typed the serial no. I was about to take it down but it disappeared and installation started and took some time to complete. I do not know what happened after that but I know that Nero was great and I had no problem using it for burning and checking my files. I did not use it for video. After almost a year my computer had a crash not because of Nero but because of Vista and Windows 7. So I completely reinstalled Windows XP but when I again put into my drive Nero it asked for the serial no. but this time it did not offer to type it in. So I checked my paperwork and found on the quick guide notes that I would get it from the back of the jewel box. But I did not receive the so called jewel box and so now I cannot use my Nero. I got in touch with Nero website and they said I could get it if I registered my copy. I was not asked to do so on installation. They also said I could go to regedit, again if I registered Nero. Otherwise I would have to buy at a very meagre discount. Amazon has not been at all sympathetic for once. Everytime I visited Amazon they said I could return even after 30 days but when I tried to use that option it just gave no help. I am very unhappy about this and will write to Amazon. Has anyone had this kind of problem. I would be happy to know. Bessie

Nero9
I have always wanted to compile a documentary DVD of my family photos and film recordings that I have collected over a number of years in my archives. Being a single parent looking after children and having very little time to take on any form of part-time studies in film making I decided that perhaps if I could find a software that would help me do this, browsing through the net I came across this product. Which I ordered through ie,ie, etc etc, NEVER LOOKED BACK SINCE. With little knowledge I have become quite a film producer of the family now everyone now wants me to edit,compile their life history for them. Hah! they don't even offer me anything for time spent untangling mesh/mash information they send to me. Friends and Family for you.(HAH!) Anyway looking forward for a similar product from manufacturers to enable me to produce animation and cartoon short film. Some of the jargon can be a bit confusing for total beginners like me, but once one cracks it the whorled is your oyster. Recommend to anyone interested in this field

Do you know a better one ?
Nero 9 (PC CD) I've used Nero programs to edit camcorder film about from when camcorders first became available as hobby equipment and our town's twice-a-week stage-coach visit was discontinued.In this time I've tried quite a few different programs. They ranged from the 'ridiculously complicated and very expensive' to the 'free-of-charge and very limited', with various combinations between tho two extremes.I AM STILL USING NERO.I know of the criticisms outlined in several reviews and I agree with much that is said, but for me this remains the program that I judge others against.....and I still have not been able to dispense with it in favour of another !If you persevere it will make your movies sing and dance !

John's Critique
After using NERO 7 for a few years; NERO 9 takes a bit of getting used to. It's User Interface is an Improvement, but the help files are as yet non existant having carefully followed their instructions. Adding files to compile a music album or a Data Disc, I found very cumbersome compared to 7. I also discovered that they want bucks to sent me an update. I must say that initially I was tempted to reinstall NERO 7, but persevered. I suppose, for an ageing geezer something new will take a while to get used to. However, don't be put off, it aint that bad, particularly if you are looking for sending files to these mod gadgets; Ipods, etc, whatever they are. Enjoy, John

Works for editing AVCHD files
I bought Nero 9 to edit AVCHD footage from a Panasonic HDC-SD9 camcorder and to create DVDs from the edited movies. I tried all the other software I could, and Nero 9 was one of the few products which actually worked.AVCHD importing is easy, as is editing. The DVD creation tool is straight-forward to use and menu creation is also easy. The DVDs produced play back fine on my low-end DVD player.The installation was slow, but that's not a huge problem for me. Nero is also cheaper than most of the other AVCHD editing packages.I'm using Nero 9 on Windows Vista Enterprise 64-bit.

It does the job.
I was using Nero 7 previously but that wouldn't work on my new windows 8.1. Nero 15 looked rubbish and far too complicated and Nero 9 was the nearest compatible update that was 8.1 friendly. It does what I want it to, which is the main thing, but the menu system is not as user friendly as 7 and once again I feel that it has been made overly complex and does not contain some of the basic features that made Nero 7 so simple yet powerful.
