Nero 7 really ready for Vista?

Dragunov · Feb 9, 2007, 06:58 AM

Hi,

Have a retail serial key for a Nero 7 Premium, downloaded the latest version of Nero 7 (Vista ready one: 7.7.5.1), selected custom, but then it asked to install DirectX9 runtime, so I stopped the installation, cause I don't want DX9 to interfere with DX10
So how do I solve this problem (except going to another program)

Thx

Try and find the Nero Lite install, and use your key, It's just a cut-down version, works fine here, altho you may get a problem with Com Surrogate afterwards. To solve that you need to go into the Common Files inside program files, find the nero folder, and rename the nero video codec file to something else and it solves the thumbnail creation problem.

The DX9 install should only overwrite files that are older than the files in the install. You should be fine allowing it to run. If you're unsure afterwards...run Dxdiag.exe in c:\Windows\system32. It will show what version of DX you have.

From what i could tell, The Dx9 included in vista is rather very very slimmed down. maybe that's why it's refferred to dx9L ?

Anyways, there are alot of programs that'll complain that DX9 isn't installed, and please install it and whatnot, Hell even 3DMark06 will complain on a clean vista install. Just download the latest Redistrutable. Run it, and it'll update the basic main components of Dx9L in vista without ever touching DX10 components.

I'm running the latest Nero 7 Burning Rom without any conceiveable issues thus far on vista.

You should download and run the latest DX Web Installer. It downloaded about 16mb worth of dx files on a clean install and greatly helped gaming Vista.

To resolve the com surrogate issue you can install FFDshow-tryout. I believe that was posted awhile back. It worked for me. I was getting this error when Vista tried to generate thumbnails for MPEG4.

Does Vista have built in DVD data burning like XP had CD burning?

Thanks

Does it do multisession data on DVD's? Or if you drag and drop to the DVD in Explorer, can you only do one session?

Multi sesion burning of cd and dvds is supported in vista natively (from what i've used thus far).... it's actually pretty damn good in vista, while i prefer the vista Burning software, nero burning rom is handing for more complicated tasks.
