Nero 9 Will Support Windows 7

Adjust text size:

Nero, the makers of the homonym CD, DVD, and Blu-ray burning tool that has grown into a fully fledged media suite, have pledged support for the next iteration of the Windows client across a range of products. For example, Nero Move it and Nero LiquidTV|TiVo PC will both be optimized to play nice with Windows 7. But of course, the most important is the company's flagship product. And as Microsoft made available theRelease Candidate of Windows 7 starting on April 30 to MSDN and TechNet

subscribers and subsequently to the public on May 5, Nero indicated that Nero 9 would support the successor of Windows Vista.

"Nero has built its global reputation on producing cutting-edge digital media products that make it easy for consumers to enjoy their digital media content whenever and wherever they wish," revealed Kris Barton, executive vice president of global products, Nero AG. "Compatibility with today's leading platforms underscores our corporate dedication to the importance of platform interoperability and support. Compatibility with Windows 7 is another milestone in our continued commitment to enabling the liquidity of content between all digital media hubs."

Microsoft's Windows 7, just as its precursors, comes to the table with a few options allowing end users to burn CDs and DVDs straight from Windows Explorer. In this regard, Windows 7 even allows ISO images to be burned to disk. However, the operating system's capabilities are limited in comparison to Nero 9, or any other standalone disk burning solution.

"We are excited about the Windows 7 Release Candidate milestone, as it reflects the progress we've made by working with companies like Nero. This version of Windows brings us closer to providing our customers with an operating system that makes everyday tasks faster and easier," added Jeff Price, senior director for Windows Product Management at Microsoft.

Nero 9 trial version is available for download here.

32-bit and 64-bit Windows 7 (Release Candidate) RC Build 7100.0.090421-1700 is available for download here.

Sure hope they fix some of the problems on Windows 7 with burning software..... Cyberlink Power2Go and Nero 9 both will only burn at 4X speeds (unless I am adding to a disk that I have started on another computer WITHOUT Windows 7 on it) when my drive supports 8X burning.
Thought that it was Windows 7's problem, until I tried burning an ISO with it's in-built burning software and found that it would burn at 8X speeds, no problems at all.

Tried version 9 did not work (file manager pane hangs) - tried 8 (file manager pane hangs) - tried 7 and works fine - took a long time to do this. There are no blogs to answer why 8 or 9 doesn't work - using sony vaio windows 7 pro 64

Nero 9 (Reloaded) TOOLBAR IS NOT SUPPORTED ON IE 8 OR WINDOWS 7. Therefore; installation will not continue. THE "BLURB" from Nero 9 AG or any other third party that Nero 9 IS compatible does not compute! Further Nero`s Clean Tool does not work either. Why don`t they come CLEAN and tell the truth?

Nero 9 absolutely does not work with Windows 7. Even after upgrading it does not work. Now they want you to pay for an upgrade to Nero 10. I have been a Nero user for years. But never again. Something must have happened to this company. Its product are a poor excuse for software.

Same thing here, Nero 9's file browser hangs under Windows 7 64 bit. Tried Nero 10, same thing. And what's with the endless list of gadgets they try to install on top ? All I need is a DVD burner that works! This company has gone to * .
