The Nero suite has always taken care of the multimedia enthusiast's needs, from burning media to editing audio to encoding video. Nero 7 Ultra Edition, the latest version of the decade-old, CD-burning application, follows this fine tradition.

Unlike most CD creators, Nero 7 is designed to be a complete multimedia experience. For those who just want to burn a CD, it's as easy as pushing a button.

For people looking to create home movies with customized soundtracks, Nero makes it happen. Altogether, it's easy to use at any level and keeps the familiarity that previous Nero users have come to know.

Nero 7 offers a few new options over earlier versions. The program supports the soon-to-be-available Blu-Ray technology as well as high-definition video capture.

In addition, the new Nero Home feature creates a central hub for your photos, music, television, and movies, allowing for total control of your home media.

The Nero Scout feature can help to organize all of your media files and access them via an Internet browser. In addition, the software's customized setup lets you pick and choose what you want to install.

While the software suite offers almost countless options for media creation, Nero 7 is a resource hog, requiring nearly 1 GB of hard-drive space and a Pentium 4 processor for some features.

If you're running a slow system and want to start performing live captures and create DVDs, you had better upgrade your system before thinking about the latest version of Nero.

If you just want to burn CDs or DVDs, save your money and use the built-in capabilities of Windows Media Player. On the other hand, if you are a multimedia maven, Nero 7's features are tough to beat.

Nero 7 Ultra Edition
Pros: It does everything.
Cons: Requires a powerful computer for advanced features.
Bottom Line: Multimedia enthusiasts, your day has come. Everyone else, go back to CD-Mate or Easy CD Creator.
