They say the newest nero 6.xxx is the best for burning DVDs. But I wonder considering how many problems members have with it. The only problem with Nero is it will not break the protection!! I would say your better off with Laz's way.

With 5.5, it was usually a good idea NOT to update - as they usually had more bugs than in the version you were using. There were some EXCELLENT point releases though:
5.5.9.17 - last one before a new feature in 5.5.10, and VERY stable indeed
5.5.10.42 - a pretty mature release of 5.5.10 - also stable
5.5.10.54 / 5.5.10.56 - fixed the bug introduced in 5.5.10.50 (same bug as in an early V6, cannot burn close to maximum or overburn).

Nero V6 - they released a BETA, that's about the only way to describe it - it wasn't adequately tested, and it had WAY too many bugs.

With Nero 6, there are STILL important fixes coming down with every update - with this, Nero sunk to the same level as Roxio - buggy releases that are only right in time to be superceded by the next major version.


Nero Burning ROM is the main program - not sure how the OEM version is defined in V6.

In V5.5 - you had:
1. Full retail / full registered (similar)
2. Full OEM (mild feature clipping)
3. Full Bundle (as OEM, but drive-tied)
4. Express (only able to use the "easy" Express interface)

In V6, there are variants that I'm not fully up on.

Using DVD2SVCD, you can now make an ISO file. Then just use DVD Decrypter to burn it to DVDR.

As for Nero, I have used ver 5.5.x for a VERY long time and it performd flawlessly. I have tried various versions of 6.0.x and they all suc big time, but the newer 6.3.x are working fine. In 5.5.x, burn in UDF/ISO format, in 6.3.x burn in DVD-Video format.

The only gripe I have in 6.3 is the Label, your limited to 13 charactors regardless how you set it up. And the browser window shows all folders in lowercase etc
