And that is on all my friends computers with various OS-es...so it's not my comp only problem.
Have you ever check the timestamp Nero 6 burnes on your disc (DVD, CD, whatever...)? (Original timestamps is selected, of course!)

Depending on daylight savings time, timestamp of 50% of your files WILL NEVER BE ORIGINAL like it should. For some files it will be OK, but not for all!
For example - file timestamp on HD is
23.04.1999 12:00:00

When you burn file with that date it timestamp will be +1 hour:
23.04.1999 13:00:00


And for those who don't care about that - it's not that harmless, it fools you to think that your files on burned disc are newer that the one on your HD, and you can't compare files if comparing is based on timestamps!

This bug was not present with 5.5 versions, but it drags from very first version of 6.0... Can somebody confirm that bug or I'm the only one that is bothered with it?

Regards

a usual difference between the file systems NTFS and FAT, FAT32, CDFS, UDF is the DST correction; ;)
read Total Commanders helpfile, if you need more infos about;

Nero timestamp bug - no it's not valid DST corrrection...

...because Nero adds this +1 hour everytime. If you copy that file with modified timestamp back to HDD and burn it AGAIN than the difference will not be +1 hour but +2 and so on... And that's no good. Anyway, if I set my DST to GMT+0 it will still add hours.
And no other burning software is doing this, tried various demos of WinOnCD, DiscJuggler, CdrWin etc. They all write correct timestamps, no stupid "DST" with files. I would really love Ahead to fix this bug because I prefer Nero...

Thank you for your reply anyway,
regards

don't know about other burning apps, but BAO and InstantCD/DVD doing exactly the same, if the original timestamp contained an DST time;
