Nero 8
Nero Burning ROM happens to be the most widely used application for burning CD/DVDs, and a copy comes bundled with all writers. But the new version is brimming with features which you should know about.
Better Compatibility
One of the issues with media and the way they are burned is that is that they’re not always compatible on all DVD players. There are a few things that can be done to solve this: one of them is to set the high compatibility mode on for your drive. Click on the Choose Recorder button to the right of the dropdown menu for selecting the drive. Select your drive and click on Options. Check the box against DVD High Compatibility Mode. This will make sure that at least gigabyte of data is written on the media even if you don’t have that much data. Another thing you can do is to use the Book Type settings – this is basically is to tell the drive that you have inserted a DVD-ROM (for example) not a DVD-RW or any other kind of DVD. This way, there are better chances of the drive reading your media. Use the dropdown menu for Book Type settings in the drive properties window and select DVD-ROM as it generally gives better compatibility.
Move The Cache Folder
Nero uses a location on the hard drive when it needs to cache files before burning them. If you are running short on space in your main partition you will want to change it to one with more free space. Go to File > Options > Cache and click on Browse to choose a new location.
Encode Audio Files
Nero Burning ROM comes with an in-built audio encoder: go to Extras > Encode Files, click on Add and select the files you want to encode. Using the dropdown menu for Output file format, select which format you want to encode to and click on the Settings button to set parameters for the encoder. Finally, click on the Browse button to select where you want to store the encoded files once encoded. Click Go to start encoding!
Nero BurnRights
Nero BurnRights is an application that comes with Nero that allows you to define which users on your system can burn CDs and DVDs. Go to Start > All Programs > Nero 8 > Nero Toolkit > Nero BurnRights. Select the type of users that you want to give permission to, and click OK.
Sounds For Events
Nero has support for sounds but they are disabled by default. Go to File > Options > Sounds tab to set sounds for the events. The sounds that come with Nero are in the default locations, but you can select the ones you want by clicking the Browse button.
Searching For Specific Formats
Trying to search for a few selected file types you need to burn can be a nightmare in an un-assorted folder. To look for a particular file using wild cards, right click on the folder in the left pane of the browser window. Click on Select pattern. Enter wildcards with semicolons [;] as separators and click OK. For example, entering *Digit*;*.PDF as the pattern will select all files with Digit in it, and all PDFs as well.
Do Not Eject The CD/DVD
Every CD burned is immediately ejected from the drive by default. To keep the CD or DVD in the drive once it’s done, go to File > Options > Expert Features. Check the box against Do not eject the disc after the burn is complete and click OK.
Lean Mean Nero
We all miss the Nero Burning ROM from the past years when it was a compact little CD / DVD burning software and not a complete suite with modules we never use. Its reached a point where there are tiny hacked illegal releases of Nero Burning ROM made available on the Internet which take a fraction of the space of the entire suite. If you have the nasty habit of blindly clicking Next during the Nero 8 installation, you’ll most probably have skipped the screen where you choose the Custom installation mode. Uninstall your current copy of Nero if you have it installed. Start the installation till you reach the window where you can choose between Typical and Custom installation. Select the Custom install option and click Next. You’ll soon see a window with the list of all the Nero components selected. Click on each one of them and select This Feature Will Not Be Available. Do the same for everything other than Nero Burning ROM and continue with the installation. At the end, you’ll have completed your own clean compact Nero Burning ROM installation the way it used to be.Source URL: http://gbejadacosta.blogspot.com/2010/11/nero-8.html
