Nero software question

I have Nero 5.5 installed on my computer now and it works fine. I'm going to
buy my first dvd burner and it comes with Nero software. Do I need to
uninstall the old software first,or will the new Nero just install over the
old? This might be a simple question, but I'm new at this. I'm thinking of
buying a Lite-On burner. Is this a good choice or would you suggest
something else? Thanks for your help.

I uninstalled my Nero 5.5 before installing the 6.0. Don't remember if I
read on the Nero site to do that or not. Figured it wouldn't hurt to do it
that way.

The Lite-on works for me
As for Nero, if yours is a full version then it will probably work with the
burner as it is. If you install the OEM supplied with the burner it will
probably not work with your CDR burner, and you cannot have both installed.

You might want to keep 5.5 and not install 6

The version of Nero that I have now came with the cd burner. I think it will
only work with this burner. I really like the wave editor in 5.5. Does Nero
Suite that comes with the dvd burner contain the same wave editor?
Thanks to those that responded.

I had the same problem. Had two CD burners and no way to enable them
both. The supplied NERO was burner specific. Fixed the problem by
using an OEM code that supported everything. The support is all in
there, they just won't let you access it.

There is a Wave Editor in Nero 6. Not sure if it's the same as what was in
Nero 5.5 since I only had Nero Express 5.5 which came with my CD-R burner
and if it had a Wave Editor, I never used it.

Patty

I note that you are in the UK. The versions of Nero 6 supplied with Lite-on
DVD writers in the UK do have the editor WAV editor, but are limited to the
Nero Express interface. if you want the full deal you'll have to buy the
package. You can continue to use 5.5 that you are familiar with and it will
probably work with the LiteOn DVD writer, though you may need to update it
to the last version of 5.5 and obtain a full serial for it to release the
additional functionality. Version 6 is only version 5.5 with a few whistles
primarily concerned with improving security to minimise serial number piracy
that was rampant with version 5.5. The program gets bigger and fatter but
not necessarily better.
