Hola amigos de la comunidad My Nero, en marzo de este año, adquiri una licencia original de Nero 9 comprada por la web desde la tienda online de Nero 9, en el computador donde tengo instalado Nero 9, por problemas del Sistema operativo tuve que formatear ese equipó, al ya tener listo de nuevo mi equipo volvi a instalar Nero pero cuando voy hacer la activacion de patentes, me dice que el numero de serie a sido duplicado y no me activa los patentes, me puse en contacto con Nero pero aun no me han respondido, a alguno de ustedes le ha pasado lo mismo.

Hi,

I am trying to burn a dvd and when I click on Import DVD it is giving me the message "An unknown error occurred while checking validity of DVD structures (VTS)."

Thanks for your help,

Error now with playing DVD-RW discs

MyNeroUserWithNickname@nero.com () — 12 Jun 2008 06:47:47 GMT

I have been using DVD-RW disc for some time but over the last week whenever I add video file to an existing DVD I get an error message on the player that the disc is unformatted and can not be played.

Runtime Error C+++ \NMIndexStoreSvr.exe

MyNeroUserWithNickname@nero.com () — 10 Jun 2008 17:55:51 GMT

Greetings

Has anyone had any problems with this Runtime Error C++++?

.........\NMIndexStoreSvr.exe

Everytime I start to use SmartStart in my new recently installed Nero Ultra 8, this keeps coming up and slowing everything on my 'putor down.

What did you do to fix this problem. Should I contact Tech Support about this?

Thanks

6/11/08 Update

I went for a short nap and my hubby did the Nero 8 Ultra update and then changed something with the inCD and Nero Scout, then he changed something else in my 'puter. It is working great now...knock on wood. He said he went thru forums and different websites and gradually put 2 and 2 together and fixed the problem.

Maybe that helps someone that has been doing the same thing.

Thanks

Nero v8 & v7 Problem burning DVD-DL-Media - SESSION FIXATION ERROR (1176)

MyNeroUserWithNickname@nero.com () — 12 Apr 2008 16:24:01 GMT

Hello,

already tried different trial versions of Nero: On DVD-DL-Medias (different Vendors already testes, different burners already tested) I always get a SESSION FIXATION ERROR.

That means, I put in the empty DVD-DL, it's been recognized. Then I say "burn": It starts to cache files then Nero says "lead in". During that, some obnoxious noises comin' from the burner - like spinning up and down and click and pop noises. After a around minute the status of the burner gets down, the message "Session fixation error" appears and "lead out" appears and the media is thrown out of the burner.

The DVD-DL is for the dump, nothing burned just a small ring I can see...I can throw it away.

This happened already about ten times, can't figure it out what the real problem is.

Also I searched the internet already, I found about 1 or 2 hundred users recognizing the same problems since Nero v7 up to now. All of them got different burners and different media.

I think the log-file doesn't help very much, maybe it's some incompatibility or a bug since Nero v7 (up to the newest Nero v8.x.x.x).

Can anyone dig that problem??? What is the reason, and how to solve it???

Here's one of my log-files:

NeroHome Runtime error!

MyNeroUserWithNickname@nero.com () — 13 Feb 2008 08:32:26 GMT

NERO 8 - WINDOWS XP SP2.

When i try to run NeroHome i receive this error. I already run the cleaning tool,

even my pc was clean (i did format before one week):

"RUN TIME ERROR NEROHOME.EXE
THIS APPLICATION HAS REQUESTED THE RUN TIME TO TERMINAT IN UNUSUAL WAY. PLEASE CONTACT THE APPLICATION"

Of course not even Nero express works, i receive second error message: "Fixation error".

Anyway, what can i do to WORK with that program? (i install the update also, but the same remains).

Burning Error. Nero won't burn to DVD-R

MyNeroUserWithNickname@nero.com () — 03 Feb 2008 09:50:42 GMT

Hi Guys I have Nero 8.1.1.0 Ultra Edition. I have had no trouble burning DVDs in the past, however out of the blue, Nero keeps giving an error message part way through the burning process saying that I have a DVD-R in the RW Drive and it will only burn on to DVDR/RW or DVD DL.

I have always used DVD-R, and it hasn't been a problem in the past, so why is it giving this error message now?? Do I need to tweek a setting or something?

I apologise in advance if this is a dumb question, or has been recently answered. I did try to search the blogs first!

Install Problem Nero 7 and Nero 8

MyNeroUserWithNickname@nero.com () — 01 Dec 2007 21:07:39 GMT

I have been using Nero 7 for two years and have followed the many updates. I have two desktops...one north for summer and one south for winter. I have been working on and off for those two years on VHS tape conversions to DVD. This summer I bought Nero 8 and loaded it with out a problem in the north. I came south and tried to do the same by of course, cleaning Nero 7 out ...the only way it works that I know of.....and then attempted to install Nero 8. That produced numerous errors....all code number: 2147024891 which is:

"unable to register C:\programfiles\commonfiles\ahead\lib\nmpluginbase.dll"

after numerous windows with different details on the message...I guess different .dll's the finish window says the installation was successful only to find the program doesn't run.

I cleaned out Nero 8 and tried to go back to Nero7 and get the same messages. (I typed in the proper serial number in each case) But Nero 7 does run in some parts...like Vision, but it appears goosy or unstable.

Can anyone help, soon?? Nero Email help will probably take two weeks for a canned answer if past history is a guide to future action.

Attention to detail...

MyNeroUserWithNickname@nero.com () — 24 Nov 2007 13:30:01 GMT

My first entry here sums up what's wrong with sooooo much of the technology that pervades our lives. The first thing I do when I join an online community is check out the Guidelines. Mostly it's the same kinda thing, the usual rights and responsibilites which I'm happy to adhere to. MyNero is no exception.

NB I can't link to the Guidelines here cos MyNero uses it's own protocol rather than the usual HTML found just about everywhere else on the web and creating a link requires an HTTP (or FTP) address. Neither can I edit the code of my post, as I can on regular blogs, which would enable me to create the link.

Anyhow, that's just another example of what's wrong with all this stuff. My real point here is about those Guidelines. The final list item in the Guidelines reads;

"Links to websites which have the intention of gathering sensible information such as credit card numbers or passwords"

NB Neither can I change the font style, size or colour of the above quoted text to highlight it, as you can on most other blogs (what a crap editor!!).

So, back to my point. Can anyone see what's wrong with that (quoted) sentence? Read it again. "...gathering sensible information..."?!! Surely, it should be "sensitive"?

See what I mean! If a corporate entity can't even get the words right, on a page of just a few hundred words, how the heck is a programmer or developer going to get every line of code right, in a complex build of millions of lines? It's damn near impossible!

Every line of code that goes into a program or application presents another opportunity for something to go wrong. And, when those responsible don't pay due care and attention to detail, the end-user pays the price.

'Nuff said!

Nero 8 - Ups and Downs

MyNeroUserWithNickname@nero.com () — 17 Oct 2007 02:56:19 GMT

I was eager to purchase the new release of Nero (v8), as I figured the guys @ Nero has changed a lot of the things that was not optimal (very diplomatic) with the 7 release of aforementioned. All in respect to Windows Vista!

THE UPS SO FAR:

Transcoding works (for the most)

Nero MediaHome actually appears as functional now, at least when talking compatibility with the XBOX 360 and the force transcoding to WMV.

However, there are still some challenges regardring transcoding of sound files to MP3 - especially with some WMA files, which is odd, because its Microsoft own format. Nero ShowTime can play them, but Nero MediaHome cannot.

Scouting

Nero Scout also seem to have received a refresh of the code, and takes less ressources as earlier. However, Nero Scout sometimes looses its inforamtion, which must be considered critical, as todays "mediahomes", has several hundred if not thousands of difference media formats.

THE DOWNS(!):

Native language (locale settings) vs. selected language (STILL PRESENT AS OF 8.X.X.4)

I live in Denmark, and for some reason, the Nero dev. team believe (probably because they are from Germany, and has been raised with the fact, that all movies regardless of origin, will be "germanized" so they can "understand" what is said - god forbid subtitling and learning to appreciate other languages), that the locale on the computer always overrides the selection that a user see fit. In my case, I prefer my applications to display all information in English, and not my native language, Danish. So, I select English in my installation (and already here, I get worried; the installer looks at my locale, and display info in Danish!), and I expect the program to use English, as I totally deselect the ML-support.

However, despite my efforts to end up with an English instance of Nero, I now have a mixed Nero environment, where most of the information is in Danish (ARGH!!!) and some is in English. This is none acceptable, and this must be fixed ASAP!

MediaHome hangovers (SEEM FIXED AS OF 8.X.X.4)

Despite my praises of the Neror MediaHome before, I should also state, that a bug is currently present; if you do not stop the server BEFORE you try to exit the application, the prog hans, and you cannot end it with end process - you have to use end task on the applications tab in Task Manager.

myNero Text Editor

When I am writitng my text here, I see my CPU raised to 100% while typing - this is also unacceptable, and this problem has existed since my first post in this community!

Nero ControlCenter (STILL PRESENT AS OF 8.X.X.4)

When starting the "center" it ask if you want to use the changes (and yes, not in my installed language!), and I am just saying; WHAT CHANGES?! I have just started the prog for crying out loud! And another thing triggering corresponds to earlier statements in this blogs regarding the language issue; the center confirm that English English is installed, and NO OTHER language is installed. At least, the "check for update" seems to work now, compared to the 7 release.

Nero BurnRights (STILL PRESENT AS OF 8.X.X.4 - THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS!!)

Actually I have no use for this program, but earlier expirence with installation of Nero dictates, that you should always install all components, or you will get unexpected results. However, this time, the rule to follow is reversed. After the installation, my control panel crashed all the time, and here is the ironic part; BurnRights does not support Danish! If you have read my blog, you would know by now, that I DID NOT install Danish support for the application, which just makes me even more upset with the experience of this prog package.

When all above is mentioned, please note, that this entry is to make Nero better - and it is a call out, because suport incidents (with the exception of burnrights) seems to be ignored by there QA people.

I will continue to digg in to more of the releases I find interesting with Nero, for instance there nieche prodct, Burning Rom, but this is a step i will persue later.

Lets hope the Nero dev. team is supported by there leaders and get the above (and all other cases) fixed ASAP.

UPDATE AS OF NOVEMBER 23 2007

Consider this my last post about releases from Nero.
I received a somewhat disturbing mail from the Nero support team, where they ironicly ask me to download a Nero CleanTool (since they know, that the built-in add/remove program is NOT working) for a complete uninstall of the "old" version of Nero 8.

Anyway, they got my bennefits of the doubt, and I followed there instructions.

What have changed on the surface?!

Absolutely nothing!

This is the latest release as of November 20 this year, and all the afore mentioned errors, annoyances and general amatuer errors are still presents.

This company can not - and i repeat - can not be taken serious!

From my perspective, they need to roll some heads, and follow some defacto standards for developing software - maybe by following the MSF model.

Don't waste your time with Nero as I have done - they will ultimately just dissapoint you!
The rulers of burning software has fallen.
Consider this a friendly warning ...

Burn Error

MyNeroUserWithNickname@nero.com () — 24 Sep 2007 16:58:58 GMT

I am using Nero 7 Essentials (OEM version) that came bundled with an external Sony DVD writer that I recently purchased. I have successfully burned several DVDs of TV shows that I transferred from my TIVO box to home computer. However, just recently, while Nero was transcoding the files I started receiving an error message , "burn error" . The net result is that the file does not burn to the DVD.

Any ideas of what is going wrong? I've tried upgrading to the newer Nero 7 package, and that does not seem to work.

Thanks!

Unable to create the disc structure! Burn process failed!

MyNeroUserWithNickname@nero.com () — 18 Jun 2007 10:15:21 GMT

I try to burn a DVD with 2 MP4 files recorded with NeroVision from my TV card.

The files are 1.4 and 1.9GB.

While I can edit each file and create all the chapters, I can not burn a DVD because I get the error message "Unable to create the disc structure! Burn process failed!

I can create DVDs from small AVI files from my digital camera without any problems. I.e. the burner and the media are okay. but recorded files from NeroVision don't seem to work.

Has anybody here had the same problem and got it fixed?

Is there a memory limitation in NeroVision or a problem with files recorded with NeroVision?

Support only sends me to the same instructions as per FAQ which I tried already 3 times without any luck. Which is very frustrating.

I have the latest version of NeroVison.

Any real help would be appreciated.

NERO VISION WISH LIST

MyNeroUserWithNickname@nero.com () — 28 May 2007 15:49:56 GMT

Updated 6-4-2007

This blog is for creative suggestions for NERO to add useful features to Vision.

All practical suggestions will be shared with the public and Nero.

***************

AUDIO TAB

Below is a description of audio features VISION users have expressed interest in for a future Audio-effect TAB.
Anyone wishing to add a feature to the list, please post it in this blog, and the master list will be updated.

Each effect can be controlled in 2 ways. #1. effect-variable, #2. Length.

The effect is placed in the timeline with drag-drop.
The length of the effect is controlled by stretching the bar and dragging earlier or later in the timeline.
The effect is controlled by double-click the time-line-bar. A popup will offer the controls that match the effect.

Examples:
Fade: [# of seconds]
Sharp: [ slider for intensity] (Tweak of the high freq. range for muffled audio)
WIND-REMOVER: [ slider for intensity] (Low band cut that will reduce the impact of wind hitting a mic.)
DIALOG ENHANCE: [ slider for intensity] (This is intended to accentuate spoken dialog.)
MIX: [slider shows volume of input added to the mix]
METER: A green/yellow/red volume meter that indicates effective volume levels. Red indicate possible clipping or distortion.
This meter needs to be active, no matter which audio is played. While mixing, this meter would show the out of the mixed audio.

FULL Audio Filter list

RECORD LEVEL METERS
FADE IN
FADE OUT
SHARP FILTER
WIND-REMOVER
DIALOG ENHANCE
MIC MIX
CD MIX
AUDIO FILE MIX
MASTER AUDIO LEVEL (ALL TRACKS MIXED)
CLIP AUDIO LEVEL

*****************

AUDIO NORMALIZE

Audio normalize (levels each clips audio to the same level) (Add checkbox to the Burn screen)

This feature level sthe audio avoid sudden loud passages and spots that are too quiet.

*************************************************

Add "BURN TO HARD DRIVE" in the BURN Screen.

This feature can be executed while burning to disc.

This works well in other leading software and is a nice way to get the most out of processing once, save to DVD & HDD.

Add a Check box to the Burn Screen
Under the check box would be a path & a browse button for pointing to a save point.

******************************************

A Nero user suggested Nero needs to add the gamma feature back but it is here.

So we do have GAMMA already.

This is a MOCK-UP of an AUDIO tab and good place for it.

This really needs to be added with many features suchas...

Audio replace

Audio Mix

Audio normalize (levels each clips audio to the same level)

If anyone has suggestions for NERO VISION, please feel free to post them.

CD/DVD Burn Failures? Here's some things to check.

MyNeroUserWithNickname@nero.com () — 11 May 2007 00:35:10 GMT

Having burn failures and can't figure it out? Here's some things to check.

Firmware up to date on the drive? Check and see if it is.

In Nero open SmartStart and go to Tools (ToolKit in Nero 6) then InfoTool. Pick the drive in the drop down. In the drive tab there's a field for the current version.

Where do you see if there's a later version?

Check the manufacturer of the drives website - usually under support.
If the drive came with the pc then check the pc manufacturers site for an update.
You can also check the firmware page - forum.rpc1.org/dl_search.php

What's firmware you ask?

Firmware is the instructions for the drive - think of it as a sort of operating system.
One important thing firmware does is give the drive the media codes for it to have the right read and write strategies.
If the media code for the manufacturer of the disc you are using is not in the firmware then the drive will use a generic write pattern. Doesn't always mean a failure but can.

What brand of media are you using?

Not all media is created equal :) And not all is compatible with all drives even if you have the latest firmware.
Check the drive manufacturer's site for what brand of media is recommended.
Different media may just do the trick!

Even if the media worked before a new spindle may not. That's because the 'brand' name outsources to a manufacturer. Example Memorex DVD's can be made by Ricoh Japan, CMC, Ritek, Fuji, Prodisc, Moser Baer, MCC and several more.

Good ones that are usually listed for most drives are Verbatim and Taiyo Yuden - my personal fav's.

Verbatim's are made by MCC the majority of the time. Taiyo Yuden is the actual manufacturer and can usually be found instore under the name of Sony, Fuji, Maxell etc but look for made in Japan. Or they can usually be found on reputable online stores.

CDs now are more widely supported by cd/dvd drives. They've been around much longer than DVDs.

How about the burn speed?

Try burning at half the rated speed of the media. Like 16x at 8x. Just because the media says it can be burned at 16x doesn't mean that that's the optimal burn speed.

All your drives in DMA Mode and not the slow PIO mode?

You can check this is device manager. Right click on my computer>properties>hardware tab>device manager.
Click the + next to IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers.

Right click on the each ide channel (one at a time to check) and go to properties>advanced settings.

Both current transfer and transfer mode should have DMA listed.
If one of the devices shows Transfer Mode - Not Applicable - that's ok - just means no drive is connected to this channel.

Now if one or more shows in PIO right click on that ide channel and pick uninstall. Reboot and let Windows do it's thing and reinstall the ide channel. Drives should now be in DMA mode.

Program you're using to burn up to date?

Most CD/DVD burning programs are pretty stable and do a good job - esp. Nero :) but there may be a bug with the program and your pc setup that an update will fix. So keep your programs current.

Well that's about it - just some basics. Feel free to add what I might have missed!
