Book Description
Ahead Software's Nero Ultra 6 is probably the most popular CD and DVD burning software in the world. While it seems like it should be easy to burn CDs and DVDs, burning a CD can be alot more complicated than copying a floppy, and many users reach high frustration levels after burning coaster after coaster.

Nero Ultra 6 makes it alot easier to burn a CD or DVD as long as users understand the important parts of the software. Like whether to burn a multisession CD; what mode to use; whether to close the session; how best to erase a rewritable; how to burn music files; and stuff like that. The Book of Nero 6 Ultra Edition takes the user step-by-step through using Nero for various tasks, without the jargon that can make this stuff so difficult.

Don't waste your money on this book! If you want to know how to use Nero, view the tutorials on their web site. Once you view a tutorial you have a whole new set of hurdles - that of trying to get Nero to work. Good Luck.


Easy composition of audio CDs, Wednesday, August 04, 2004

A diverse portfolio of capabilities centred around writing and reading CDs and DVDs. Most operating systems for desktops now let you write a CD or DVD. But typically this is for any type of data. You certainly want this ability.

But there are special types of data, described by Wang, that are very important to many users. When the data consists of audio or video, in various standard encodings. Nero 6 is devoted to the easy handling of these types. For example, it has a simple Wave Editor, to edit sound files. With specialised abilities like a 6 band equaliser and being able to speed up or slow down an audio recording. Wisely, Wang skips the underlying theory, which is heavy on fast Fourier transforms and extended manipulations in frequency space. He shows how you can straightforwardly use techniques described at a musician's level of decision making.

Wang also talks about how Nero can play DVD movies on your computer. Granted this is an impressive ability. But personally, I'd pass on this. If I watch a DVD, I'd prefer it on a real TV screen, and so should you. But undoubtedly, some readers will thrill to watching DVDs on their computers.
