I have a new hard drive. And a zippy new burner. One that came with an almost-as-zippy version of Nero7Essentials (includes LightScribe, but not much else). My Da installed the Nero 7 when setting up the new hd. I used to use Nero6 - the full suite (purchased - dld with legit serial). I'm missing some of the features it offered that aren't a part of the free Essential pack. Can I install Nero 6 and keep both versions 6 and 7_Essentials? Will they behave as separate programs? Or will having both in there likely cause the new hd to combust? (I have an external hd as well - just in case it makes a difference.)
Thanks, Rotary, for taking the time to read/reply. Yeah - I thought it sounded like it should start with "here...hold my beer." I use nero for all my copying, burning and converting. I couldn't care less about all the player or photo managing options - I use VLC and my photo files are beyond help. What prompted this question is that the Nero7Essentials option to convert avi to a file type (is it mp4?) that plays in my stand alone DVD has expired, as well as the one that converts flac to something that will play in car's CD. I used to just tell it to "make a DVD' or "make a CD" and it went to work. (Clearly I'm the one click kind of user - not well versed in file types, though I'm trying and willing to learn more.) After reading here a bit, I've dld, but not installed, Img Burn, but I'd really prefer just have one program. But the LightScribe is in Nero7.
avi to dvd use dvd flick very good and FREE. i would say flac is music? and does your car player play mp3 or normal cds of CDA format?
On your recc, I'm dlding dvdflick. Is there anything I should know about installing it alongside Nero? I learned (the hard way) about the Nero/Roxio clash.
no just install should be fine, but dont forget in options you need to set pal or ntsc for whatever your region is! and if you have imgburn loaded it will burn to dvdr to. http://www.simplehelp.net/2006/09/26/how-to-burn-an-audio-cd-from-flac-files-in-windows/
Thanks very much for the advice. Still a little sad I can't do it all with my rather beloved Nero6 (old dog, old tricks). I rarely use the LightScribe as the discs are rather expensive for the kid's stuff. I wish there was a program just for that, and I could dump the Nero7Essentials. Anyway - thanks again - this is a brilliant site. Wish I knew enough to help out instead of always asking. One day, perhaps....
you learn those programs and will be teaching me and others, as i dont use them, i only use imgburn. ;=] we love free stuff here, if its the dogs nutts like imgburn there maybe a program just for lightscribe? never know imgburn may do it? not sure? i havent got any lightscribe drives so never looked into it.
