Where the suite really excels is in sharing media from your PC to other devices on your home network. Still, the software supports a huge number of video, audio and image formats. For example, you can’t queue music up to be played next while an existing selection is playing. You can view or listen to media files directly from within MediaHome, but as with previous versions the experience isn’t particularly slick. While this face-recognition feature works fairly well, it can be caught out by sunglasses, facial hair or growth spurts in children, and then tends to create multiple groups of pictures for the same person. MediaHome now also detects individual faces in your photos, grouping images of the same person and letting you tag an image with that person’s name. Of these other apps, the next most useful is MediaHome, which categorises image, video and audio files on your PC by data such as tags, date created and (for the first time) location, so you can browse them more easily. One minor niggle is that the user interface in both applications looks a little dated when compared with other programs in the suite. While Burning ROM is fairly simple to use, you can make life even easier with the cutdown version, Nero Express.

It still lets you add files to discs using an easy drag-and-drop interface, while offering a whole range of options, including DiscSpan which automatically spreads your data across multiple discs if it won’t fit on one. The latest 2015 Platinum release includes the core Nero Burning ROM software for burning DVDs, Blu-rays and other optical discs, as well as applications to manage, share and edit your video, audio and image files on your PC.īurning ROM has always been an excellent program for writing optical discs and it’s virtually unchanged from previous versions. Nero’s disc-burning program has been around for ages and has now evolved into a suite packed with other media-related features.
