The new Nero version has finally been released. It includes many new multimedia applications, such as Nero MediaHome, as well as the long awaited new and improved AAC encoder. Other changes include improvements of the DVD backing up tool Nero Recode, as well as Blu-Ray support.

You can never have too much brushed steel...
Well, it seems as if everyone and their brother are downloading it as I tried this morning and am trying now and still can't download the retail version. I was hoping that they would increase their bandwidth by this afternoon, I guess not.
Edit: Right as I said this a download went through. It is running a little slow (160KB/sec on a 600KB/sec connection) but it is going through.
Any word yet on what the upgrade cost will be for those of us that bought the last version outside of the "free upgrade" period?
I will still wait a couple of days before downloading

I'll think about it for a couple of weeks (and end up buying it).
I guess that after years of using Nero "illegally" (but not for a while, okay?) it is a little price to pay.
I don't really need much more than the CD burning app and Recode.
Just tried encoding a staff with extreme schema, which usualy generates 220k aac, however, I got a 196k at last. Then I tried Audiophile, got 274k. So weird that there is such a big leap from the lower schema to a higher one.
I'd be curious to see how the new encoder does with LC AAC at bitates between 80-128kbps, especially compared to QT7 CBR or the new 96kbps VBR profile. With all the hype about HE AAC at lower bitrates (64 and under), it would be nice to see some improvement at the lower usable end of the LC range, especially since most portables supporting AAC don't (yet) decode SBR.
I will open a listening test discussion soon. Since Apple didin't release a HE-AAC encoder (or am I talking bullshit?), I will conduce an 128 kbps test soon.

I'm doing a personal listening test on my side. Big task: I plan to use 200 samples for this one
afaik there is no he aac from apple.
@Ivan or Garf : does the new aac encoder support the ND gapless data feature full compliant with ISO standard ? If not, is it planned ?
Thank you...
is there going to be way where we can just purchase the encoder? nero is good program and all but i dont feel like throwing down $70 just to test the encoder
I'd just like to throw my support to the guys at Nero. I'm playing with the new codec now and it sounds absolutely amazing. I'm not going to compare it to other codecs out there without performing a listening test (which i don't have time for right now), but sufice to say I'm am extremely impressed. Right now I'm listening to a Dave Weckl song (read lots of drums = transients) that was recorded on the lowest VBR profile (average bitrate of 38kbps) and I'm seriously impressed. You guys have done an amazing job, top work!

Testing it is no problem, you can use the 30-day trial version, which AFAIK is fully functional.

I don't know about the app itself, but you should be able to have multiple aacenc (or whatever its called now) dlls on the system at once and swap them out to switch between encoders.
Does anybody know the difference between "Premium", the downloadable package and "Ultra", the retail, boxed version?
Well, you can't have previous versions of Nero installed as well as Nero 7. The Nero 7 installation with uninstall all previous versions. As far as the differences between the Premium and Ultra editions, I don't know. So far, I have not come across an actuall difference. I have used Nero Recode, the Nero AAC encoder, the Nero CD ripper, and most of the burning apps for Nero (for both the Premium and Ultra Editions). I still can't find a difference.
So far, I am pleased. There aren't very many changes in the different smaller apps of Nero but I am pleased with the mpeg-4 AAC encoder and the different mpeg-4 AAC video encoders.

What will the test consist of? I assume latest iTunes/Quicktime AAC VBR and latest Nero AAC VBR. Any other encoders? MP3, Ogg?

Latest iTunes, latest Nero, LAME 3.98 alpha and Vorbis aoTuVb4. For anchors, LAME -V 2 --vbr-new as high anchor and MBaacenc 0.3 as low anchor.
128kbps VBR.
Is there a changelog for the whole program? What has changed in the AAC encoder? High bitrates? Low-bitrates? Everything?
Does it work with the old frontends?

For those with century-old boxes, trialing just Nero Recode 2 might be a better choice. Find it at [a href="http://www.nero.com/nerodigital/en/download.php]http://www.nero.com/nerodigital/en/download.php[/url].
Also, one can purchase Nero Digital Pro at http://www.nero.com/eng/Nero_Digital_Pro_InfoPage.html (http://www.nero.com/eng/Nero_Digital_Pro_InfoPage.html).
Edit: Wait, that might not be the latest version of Nero Recode. Says Aug 9th.

i've heard some people have trouble with burning audio cds with nero 7 (skipping) anyone else know more about this?

No but I had trouble playing a DVD with Nero ShowTime. I was playing on my Dell Inspiron XPS Gen. 2. The movie was playing full screen on my notebook, extended to my TV full screen (through regular RCA video), then have a audio output through the digital coaxil port for dolby 5.1 surround sound. The DVD would kinda skip. The video would slightly slow down then speed up thus causing a skip in the audio. It was very dissapointing. I have only noticed this on my notebook (it has 2GB of RAM and a very capable GPU and CPU so I don't know what is going on) when playing a DVD or VOB files. Everything is fine when playing mpeg-4 video files.
I reformatted by system last night so I will see if this changes anything or not.
I've had trouble with the save tracks dialog, it won't let me select anything but *.nrg format
and also all the frontends for the nero encoder quit working, i just get some sort of error now, so the only way i can encode to nero aac is through nero, which won't let me select Nero AAC as the output source.
I tried reformatting my hd, and a fresh install of XP SP2 to no avail.
Also, I noticed Nero Home can't even read the tags of it's own Nero Digital audio files, what the hell?
I love Nero, and I love their products, but this is seriously one buggy piece of shit!
I know an update will probably be released soon to fix my problems though, so I'm not to worried.

Auf Anfrage erklärte der Hersteller, der versprochene modulare Update-Dienst sei noch nicht fertig. Demnach waren die Entwickler mit der Platzeinsparung der ersten Installer nicht zufrieden und arbeiten derzeit an einer Möglichkeit, die nochmals kleinere Downloads bedeuten werde. "Erst wenn diese Lösung zur Verfügung steht, wird das Online-Update aktiviert," erklärte die Pressestelle der Nero AG gegenüber heise online. Dann solle es endlich möglich sein, nur einzelne Komponenten zu aktualisieren. Wer will, kann beim Download sogar nur die Kernanwendung "Nero Burning ROM" herunterladen. Bis es soweit ist, steht Nero-Anwendern noch eine harte Wartezeit bevor: Der Online-Installer soll voraussichtlich im Januar 2006 bereitstehen.
~ there are problems with the online update and the installers used.
probably it will be possible to update program parts alone and in a whole online at the first quarter of 2006.

I'm using foo_naac with Foobar 2000 and have no problems.
I am using Easy CD-DA Extractor. it uses the Nero AAC encoder.
but after a few (100-200) encodings, the encoding is very very fast (1-2seconds) and gives me no file as result
So i can use the new Nero AAC, only from Nero.
Does dbPowerAmp can encode wavs to mp4 or just Audio cd to mp4? I am asking this because i want to extract wavs with EAC the compress them with something.
Anyway, i don't know why Ahead didn't make a special little program in Nero Pack, so we could encode mp4 without starting Nero Burning Rom first and click encode or F8.
thanx

There is no difference
Ultra is for America and Premium is for Europe
There is no difference. Ultra is for America and Premium is for Europe
being that my wife works on marketing, i wonder what kind of genious decide this kind od stupid things? they just confuse people.

assuming that Nero (the company) didn't took this step out of the blue and did research on the two markets (i.e. Europe and USA) they must have found some differences on the understanding at consumer level regarding 'ultra' and 'premium'. as a conclusion, the different naming seems to be understandable, although we don't have the insight Nero assumingly have.

hi
i'm using now Nero 6 , and i'm not sure to upgrade it to the version 7
can i do a custom install with nero7 ??
for example install only Nero 7 & Nero Recode
Yeah, you can.
What I wanted to know is whether or not Nero is going to officially support Label Flash. Currently, I am using the LLS file from my OEM Nero 6, but I am not sure if that is meant to work with Nero 7.
i downloaded the trial version , but it did not give the possibilty to make a custom install!!!!
and it did install yahoo toolbar without asking my permission
by the way , does the nero box cd version contain something more then the trial version ?
At Ahead's site two versions are available for download: one with the Yahoo toolbar and one without; both clearly labeled.
Given its 'net distribution, it seems natural that the trial version would not have as many components to install as the retail version.
Nero 7.0.5.4 out.
You may have to use the Nero CleaningTool to get the old Nero 7 uninstalled.

Great - InCD doesn't work any longer. It says the InCD API was not loaded.
new AAC DLLs included in Nero 7.0.5.4:
aac.dll version 3.0.0.7
aacenc32.dll version 4.2.4.6
the recently released version of Nero 6 (6.6.1.4) has older versions:
aac.dll version 3.0.0.3
aacenc32.dll version 4.2.2.3

I wish. On neither 7.0.1.4b nor 7.0.5.4 did the new clean tool work. Both got error message something like Clean could find no valid programs.
Also InCD API failed to load here, too, on clean install of 7.0.5.4. Did not have this problem with 7.0.1.4b. Tried clean install of 7.0.5.4 twice with drive restore in between.
Back to Nero 6.
Congratulations on the AAC dll's. Good luck with the rest.

haha same here, and when it somtimes worked (i moved back to 6.6) incd locked drive so only after restart it could be accessed for non incd usage
Too bad I can't download it as this version adds iPod profiles to their Recode software so that I can use the Nero h264 mpeg-4 video encoder.
The Nero servers really need to be updated to keep up with their demand (yes, I legally purchased NEro 7 when it was first released so I am interested in this update).

Try the BitTorrent links: [a href="http://sjeng.org/ftp/work/Nero-7.0.5.4_eng_no_yt.exe.torrent]Bittorrent of Nero 7.0.5.4 without Yahoo Toolbar[/url]
Thanks for the torrent links. However, I am at work right now and con't use any torrent software I currently work for the US government so I don't think they would like me download a torrent client to get Nero 7.0.5.4
Additionally, I don't have the internet at home so this is my only means of getting Nero 7.
The download did finally go through at Nero's home page though. It is not blazing fast but seems to be pretty steady at around 20 KB/Sec which is good enough for me. I did find another website that was offering the German language version so I have that to default to in case this download doesn't work.
So, thanks for the help and I am keeping my fingers crossed for the english version to finish downloading from Nero's website.
PS. I will have to start doing some listening tests now with the new AAC encoder if it is in fact new and not just updated as in the past.
Edit: Just a FYI for people who can't get Nero 7.0.5.4 downloaded from Nero's website. There is a German website that has the new version of Nero up for grabs. Nero is still currently downloading at 20KB/Sec off of their official home page for me. This German website downloaded Nero at 120KB/Sec for me. The only problem is that it is the German language version of Nero. I went through the installation process and didn't see one word of the German language. Additionally, I started up many of the major applications and they were all in english. I don't know if there are any regional differences between the English and German language version (as in burning a DVD video disc, the German version might burn in PAL while the English version burns in NTSC but I think that Nero is universal and you can change the burning preferences). Still, the German version worked just fine.
I can post a link to the website that is offering it. I don't know if it is against forum rules or not for a junior like me to post links so I will await confirmation.
