Nero Burning ROM, commonly called Nero, is an optical disc authoring program from Nero AG. The software is part of the Nero Multimedia Suite but is also available as a stand-alone product. It is used for burning and copying optical media such as CDs, DVDs, and Blu-ray disks. The program also supports the label printing technologies LightScribe and LabelFlash, and can be used to convert audio files into other audio formats.
Name
[edit]Nero Burning ROM is a pun in reference to Roman emperor Nero, who was rumored to have ordered the Great Fire of Rome. The software's logo features a burning Colosseum, though this is an anachronism as it was not built until after Nero's death.[2]
Features
[edit]
Nero Burning ROM is only available for Microsoft Windows. A Linux-compatible version was available from 2005 to 2012, but it has since been discontinued.[3] In newer versions, media can be added to compilations via the Nero MediaBrowser. Nero AirBurn, a new feature in Nero 2015, enables users to burn media straight from their mobile devices.[4] The latest version is Nero Burning ROM 2017 released in October 2016 including SecurDisc 4.0 with 256-bit encryption.
The software supports the creation of a variety of media formats:[5]
- Disk image files
- Audio CD discs
- DVD-Video discs
- Blu-ray Discs
- AVCHD video discs
- Bootable data discs
- ISO/UDF data discs
- SecurDisc discs
Additional functions include:
- Printing on discs with LightScribe and LabelFlash technology
- Erasing rewritable discs
- Copying audio CD tracks in a choice of audio formats onto a hard disk drive
- Converting audio files to other audio file formats
- Connection to the online music database Gracenote
Image format support
[edit]Nero Burning ROM works with a number of optical disc image formats, including the raw uncompressed image using the ISO9660 standard and Nero's proprietary NRG file format.[6]: 25–27 Depending on the version, additional image formats may be supported. To use non-natively supported formats such as lossless FLAC, Wavpack, and Shorten, additional program modules must be installed. The modules are also known as plug-ins and codecs and are usually free, although Nero AG sells some proprietary video and audio plug-ins. Standard CD images created by Nero products have the filename extension .NRG, but users can also create and burn normal ISO images.
Varieties
[edit]Nero Burning ROM is integrated in the Nero Multimedia Suite and is also available as a downloadable standalone product. It is also a part of Nero Essentials – a slimmed-down version of Nero Multimedia Suite – that comes bundled with OEM computers and optical disc writers.[7]
