Nero 2014 platinum wave editor
Historically Nero’s problem has been the difficult learning curve that its sometimes arcane interface imposes. If you need to burn a disc, there’s no better program than Nero Burning ROM. The dialog boxes don’t require clicking through, but they do get in the way. But Nero 12’s installation routine popped dialog boxes in front of the applications I was using with enough frequency that I gave up on getting any work done and went to get coffee. I generally let installation routines run in the background while I’m doing something else. Since then, the company has released the Blu-ray player, which worked flawlessly in my testing. Unfortunately, the Blu-ray player wasn’t available in the preview release, even though the release date (September 24, 2012) was only four days away at the time, so I couldn’t tell you on that day how well it worked.

Recode remains one of the best transcoding programs in the business, and the interface is now in sync with the rest of Nero 12.Īs for the newer Nero modules: KwikMedia is slightly friendlier than the dictatorial but very capable free version of the media organizer, which I reviewed a few months ago. I hope that the release version has speedier load times.

The only major flaw I encountered was extremely long load times (minutes for a full movie) when I used Nero Video to edit audio tracks. Both Burning ROM and Express burned discs flawlessly Recode transcoded video for all of my devices speedily and without hiccups and BackItUp and Nero Video were rock-solid. The Nero 12 modules available in my preview release-especially the older ones-generally proved to be stable and capable performers in my hands-on testing. The package also includes Nero Rescue, a data recovery program. The main components of Nero Platinum 12 are Nero Video, for video editing and composition Nero Express, for most simple disc-burning chores Nero Burning ROM, for more-advanced burning chores KwikMedia, for transferring, organizing, and playing all types of media Nero Recode, for transcoding video to different formats and devices Blu-ray Player, for playing commercial Blu-ray discs (including 3D) and BackItUp for backup. Most users should be fine with the inline audio editing found within the video editor. The Nero suite is slimmer, too, thanks to the omission of SoundTrax, Wave Editor, and Cover Designer, though these are still available as free downloads from Nero’s site. The interface is clean, and Nero Video is easy to use-once you get confortable with it. New to the features party are support for AVCHD 2.0, video stabilization (to calm shaky video) and for larger-capacity (greater than 2.2TB) drives when backing up, commercial Blu-ray playback, ripping of noncommercial Blu-ray discs, and streaming of videos across your home network. Newly released Nero 12 Platinum offers some minor usability improvements over version 11 of the venerable multimedia production and optical burning suite, but for the most part it’s a technology upgrade.
