Nero 8 Due In October

It’s been well over a year since we took a look at Nero’s 7 Ultra Edition, and soon it will be obsolete. According to Computing News, Nero will be releasing version 8 on October 1, and you can expect us to have a review shortly afterwards. New to this version will be some web-integration, including the ability to upload your videos and share content with MySpace, YouTube and a service called My Nero.

Also new is RescueAgent, allowing users to restore deleted files and recover data from scratched CDs. This in itself seems like a great tool and is one I look forward to giving a go. The latest version, as you would expect, is developed with Windows Vista in mind, and this will be seen with some Sidebar functionality, such as 1-click CD copying.

Nero 8 introduces the newly-designed Nero StartSmart user interface, which maximizes user efficiency with a one-stop solution for creating and managing digital media projects. With this new interface, prime functions like burning and ripping audio and data discs can now be accessed directly, letting users complete projects with one-click functions. Nero 8 also supports a number of next-generation formats with editing, playback, and burning features. In addition, Nero 8 lets users edit photo slide shows and create High Definition video in both Blu-ray BD-AV and HD DVD video formats.
