Taking a page out of Easy CD Creator's book, Nero 6 Ultra Edition includes StartSmart, a window that offers access to all of the suite's numerous components. We'd prefer a set-it-and-forget-it install routine for everything in the suite. Unfortunately, you must wade through separate installation routines for three programs: NeroVision Express 2.0 (movie authoring), Nero Mix MP3 (an MP3 ripper), and InCD 4.0 (a packet-writing program). Installing Nero 6 Ultra Edition takes about 10 minutes (plus reboot time) and requires about 220MB of disk space.
Still, if you've been thinking about Easy CD Creator, think Nero instead. In fact, Nero 6 Ultra Edition would have been a landslide winner if it were not for a few minor bugs in our pre-release version and some quibbles with the interface in some modules. Toss in a slick, completely configurable launch applet, numerous helpful utilities and a responsive bug-fix policy, and you get a hands-down Editors' Choice. In fact, calling it a disc-authoring application is a disservice, because the suite also offers a very capable backup program, a DVD-authoring tool that compares favourably with all but its professional-level competitors, and even a VCD/DVD movie playback program that includes support for MPEG-4 (the compression scheme that gives you near-DVD quality on a CD). Nero 6 Ultra Edition is the most comprehensive, versatile CD- and DVD-mastering and packet-writing suite on the market today.
