    My main goal in using Nero was to convert old VHS tapes onto Blu-rays. I was able to successfully do this using Nero 11 Platinum, Diamond One-Touch Capture, and Memorex Blu-ray discs.

    At first I was skeptical about purchasing Nero 11 Platinum because of several poor reviews, but since I've worked with Nero 7 and had no significant problems with it, I decided to give the trial a shot. Unfortunately, the trial doesn't allow you to burn Blu-rays or even work on a Blu-ray project. I still played around with making DVDs on the trial and I must say that the user interface has definitely improved since Nero 7.

    Here are features that I found helpful but not listed anywhere (from what I could find):
    1. While working on the Blu-ray you can easily access how mush space your video files are taking up on the Blu-ray
    2. You can choose whether you want to burn to Single Layer or Dual Layer (Be sure to use ImgBurn to see which one your drive supports and buy the corresponding Blu-ray discs)
    3. You can add main videos (in my case, separate VHS tapes) that can be selected from the main menu. Once selected, you reach the chapter menu, for that main video, to choose the portions of that video you want to watch. Also, within each main video you can add other videos that you don't want selected from the main menu by drag-and-drop.
    4. There is an option to block sounds in the video (for example, when someone swears). It is a little tricky to get the hang of though (You just go under Advanced Editing, select the bottom left button that says "Switch To Extended Timeline View", select Use keyframes next to Audio Level under the Properties tab after the video is selected, and then simply click and drag several places on the white line under "Audio 1" to cancel out portions of the audio)
    5. Specifying chapters is intuitive (click the magnifying glass on the right)
    6. You can shift the audio portion of the video if the audio is behind or ahead (just lock "Video 1" and slide the audio, under "Audio 1", accordingly.
    7. You can span your access to audio and video content anywhere from seeing the whole video down to frame by frame.
    8. You can apply effects to improve dark videos (using Auto Exposure, Brightness, and Contrast adjustments) as well as many other features like Blur, Color Balance, and Flipping the Video Horizontally or Vertically to name a few.

    Nero 11 was tested on Windows Vista and Windows 7. If you use the trial and end up buying Nero 11 Platinum, you may want to uninstall the trial before installing Nero 11 Platinum because the disc comes with several Main and Chapter Menus Templates that the trial does not. You can also download some of the templates from Nero's website, but I don't think you'll get all that are on the disc.

    On a final note, the only thing that annoyed me so far was that the "Movie Star" template works when creating a DVD but not a Blu-ray. The other templates that I have tried so far have not given me this problem. Just thought I'd save you from using that template particularly.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Nero 11 does what it should, except....
    Reviewed in the United States on November 19, 2012
    OK, for me all works as I was expecting it to, with no problems or bugs. The reason I gave a 4 star instead of 5 was, because of Nero recode. Don't get me wrong it is still a great tool, but I much prefer manually being able to adjust the aspect ratio, with a preview shot of a scene of how it will look with the amount of cropping adjusted to.

    Then there is the Nero Kwik Media player, it is more than sufficient...but the direction it is going,I do not like it. Nero Kwik Media player, looks like it is turning into a advertising "spring board", with a way to try and "milk" more money out of people-BIG turn off. If Nero continues in this direction, I will without hesitation drop this product and not look back. For me, I cannot justify paying even over 45 bones for this product. Definitely not worth the 100 to 130 bones, it starts out with.There are just too many other tools out there, that are equally as good, but FREE. I love competitive pricing or free options too. I hope this helps someone. Cheers. :)

    1.0 out of 5 stars Nero Finally unusable (Almost)
    Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2012
    I have used Nero for years and I read a lot of these comments before I ordered Nero 11. I should have paid more attention, but I thought that I would be able to overcome any shortcomings since I was so familiar with the product. WRONG!!!!

    They have made Nero almost unusable. I can't find a way to accomplish some tasks that were easy in prior versions. I can't find an easy way to play a movie that I have transferred to Disk from the DVD. It used to be so simple but no more.

    Their Kwik Media is anything but Quick. It takes forever to get things to work and I failed on some attempts. The organization has changed radically, and I no longer know where functions are. This version is a complete re-do of the User Interface and they FAILED MISERABLY in their attempts to make it user friendly.

    In summary, I will be looking for a program that is easier to use and is not so bloated as to be ridiculous. I believe it added 7 Gigabytes to my disk in total and there was no option to eliminate some of the functions that I do not use and didn't want cluttering my computer. NERO, you have lost another customer for good.

    Primary purchased to back up systems via network drive. Backup start fine but alwAys fail at random points. Was able to backup one system with usb drive directly connected. Another system see the usb drive but Nero does not. Nero see dvd so back to that but fails on second orvthird eve each time. New dvds. Has not done well with organizing and playing music on network drive either. I am surprised and disappointed with how this turned out. Perhaps it will work well for you.

    3.0 out of 5 stars A little bit of a pain in the butt to get installed.
    Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2011
    I tried the free trial and liked it so I ordered the full product at a great price from Amazon. I uninstalled the free trial since it was an old version Nero 9. Then I installed the new Nero 11 Platinum and the party started.

    It installs a program and immediately tells you to download updates... Holly Molly! Three hours and three reboots later all the updates were installed. Tired I went to bed and decided to get to use it the next day.

    The next morning there were seven new icons on my desk top... Nero 9 reappeared, parts of Nero 10 and the four pieces of Nero 11. At least the Icons for Nero 11 all had an '11' in the name so I deleted the short cuts for everything else. So far so good. But then every time I click on a video file, instead of going to the Nero 11 program it boots to the Nero 9 version. You cannot even go to choose other program with a right click because the program you want is not listed. If you specify the shortcut on the desk top it takes you to a Menu where you can select the program. I guess 'Windows 7' does not let you specify a shortcut as the default so you can not make the 'Open With' permanent.

    I'll work around the frustration but not thrilled with the whole thing.
