I cannot install Nero onto my computer without getting errors. Don't ask me why, the Nero support people can't figure it out either, and will be refunding the money I paid for Nero 9 reloaded. My question is what is as good as
Nero or better. I basically , just burn movies, music, and convert MP4's and burn them to disk. Any recommendations please?

The reason Nero works so poorly now is because they try to cram too much crap into a single program. So instead of looking for one big fat program, look to lean dedicated tools:

1. For burning audio CDs, use the freeware version of Burnaware: http://www.burnaware.com/downloads.html

2. For burning data CDs/DVD, use the freeware CDBurnerXP: http://cdburnerxp.se/en/download

3. For copying CD to CD, also use CDBurnerXP.

4. For burning DVD-Video from already-authored VIDEO_TS folders or ISO files, use the freeware ImgBurn.
Download free from http://www.imgburn.com/index.php?act=download

5. For converting AVI/MP4/MKV to DVD, use the payware ConvertXToDVD. Only $50 from https://secure.avangate.com/affiliat...so-software.fr

6. For "shrinking" DVDs (transcoding retail DVD9 to DVD5 size) use the freeware DVD Shrink instead of Nero Recode.

7. For authoring DVDs from DVD-ready MPEG files, use the payware Ulead DVD Workshop 2 instead of Nero Vision.
DVDWS2 is only $15 from http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produc...3167/KBID/4166

If there's anything I've overlooked, let me know.
