Note that the Nero 6.0.0.9 contains only the core components of the software package. You can find upgrades to Vision Express and other modules at Nero.com.
From what I say of Nero 6 it wasnt much different. I mean obviously some new things like nero recode (will this encoding actually be any way good i wonder?) and ability to make miniDVD! But besides that its a lot the same for me, except of course, write cd is no longer under file ;-)
Nero 6 also features AAC high efficiency audio encoding. It uses the SBR technology from MP3Pro. One catch at present: If you encode a HE-AAC MP4 track, you can only record it to CD with Nero 6 or convert it back to something else using Nero 6. There are no plugins for Winamp or any other player I know of that can play HE-AAC MP4 files properly other than legacy 22kHz without SBR mode (like MP3Pro on a non-MP3Pro compliant player).
i have nero 5.5.9.14 could i upgrade for free from their web site to nero 6 for free . I havnt upgraded before.
No slave according to the articles it won't be able to be free for Nero 5.5 users.
For those encoding HE-AAC (AAC+SBR), a Winamp2 plugin has just come out to play them properly at 44kHz ;-) http://rarewares.hydrogenaudio.org/
I just rescently purchased Nero 5.5. I sent a message to Ahead asking what (if any) their conditions and prices for upgrading would be. Haven't heard from them. Does anyone know about reduced cost or free upgrading?
