Nero 11 Platinum ?? A great program, but ...

if the Nero StartSmart would exist if the whole much better. Because this was unfortunately taken out with version 11. The support has been contacted and will all pass to the developers. But we come first to the individual applications:

Nero Burning ROM 11:

An absolutely clear program as we know it innately. One finds everything fine and does not need only great rumsuchen. What stands out here is the function that you also WITHOUT BD burner can make Blu-ray Discs. OK, it then really only works as an image file, but this is quite beneficial.
Here then you have the following options:

1) Blu-ray (UDF)
2) Blu-ray Disc copy
3) Blu-ray (ISO)
4) BDMV-Video
5) AVCHD (TM) video
6) Blu-ray (SecurDisc)

Also for DVDs and CD-ROMs, it is now possible to prepare SecurDisc 3.0 discs.
All in all it can be said that Nero Burning ROM has remained clear.

Nero Video 11:

Many are wondering what Ahead new has come up again. It is more known under the name Nero Vision. Edit video, create, or even create slide shows is possible. The design is now linked strongly to Nero Kwik Media. You start out in a quite large main menu, where you can then select all.
One must no longer often click through until you get the desired tool found. It is equal to see everything right and you just have to do is choose just. Here was working really well and it's very clear.
As for video editing, so here thanks to the various template packs you have many options in order to create his own films. For each there is guaranteed something suitable here. Furthermore, the playback of Blu-ray discs is possible that the standard version of Nero 11 is denied. This is possible only with the Platinum version. In the Standard Edition must be purchased a plug-in to. Customers who bought the Platinum Edition, or will buy, are guaranteed pleasure with this great package, have alone the area for video editing is well worth the money already.

Nero BackItUp:

This program was already included in Nero 10, but has now been improved to one or two places. For example, we now have as the Live Backup function. This makes it possible that all files without the need to be present are automatically saved. All in all really very promising and you do not do a lot of effort to set this up. What you should have but, is a large hard drive in order to store this data also can.

All in all a very good multimedia suite, only with the hook that Ahead has removed the Start Smart, which I personally find very sad. For I have enjoyed working with this tool because I just found it clearer than ever call up the individual applications. Overall, however, a clear buy recommendation from me.
