Hi all

I 'am looking for some words from the wise, Since I finished rebuilding my pc (was an emachines E4252 :rolleyes - given to me when on death bed - pc that is :clap)

I would like to know which you would prefer to use, Roxio Creator DE 10.3 or Nero 9 Essentials. Will be using the softward to burn some video I have shot myself and also backing up for myself an expensive dvd box set I own. I plan to use dvdfab passkey lite to allow me to do this.

Many Thanks in Advance

 

Anyone?

I've been pretty happy with Nero; however you need to be careful on the install and setup.

If you choose the default install, Nero will hit you with bloatware, it's own "indexing" service, re-registering file extensions to use Nero software by default and possibly changing your political party affiliation (OK, I made that last one up, but you get the idea. :-D ) .

Choose "custom install" and only install Nero Express. It has everything you need for burning and ISO images. After install, check your startup programs using Advanced System Care or another utility and be sure nothing from Nero is automatically loading at startup.

Hope this helps.
