Nerolinux 3.0.0.0 beta is out

[JoWilly]

Nerolinux 3 with its nice gtk2 interface is now identical to the windows burning rom 7.

It is available here:

ftp://ftp1.usw.nero.com/software/NeroLINUX/

ftp://ftp1.usw.nero.com/software/NeroLINUX/nerolinux-3.0.0.0-beta-x86.deb


Edit: now also supports Blue ray, HD-DVD, etc...

i thought linux nero used to be available if you had a windows nero version paid...
has this changed or what?
i really preffer open source programms though.. :guitar:

[JoWilly]

My old windows serial is still working :)

Sure I also prefer open source, but nerolinux 3 now supports the same engine & features as the windows burning rom 7, so feature wise (Blue ray & HD-DVD support, overburning, drives advanced features support, etc...) its the best burner on linux.

In the nero forums, it was specifically pointed out that since this is a beta, a valid license key was included in the download. Once it leaves beta, it was suggested that a new key would be needed. If you have one from version 7 though, you might be ok. Mine is from version 6, so I would probably have to buy a new key. I won't do that since the latest version of k3b seems to be working with my burners again. (I had trouble with older versions of cdrecord)

or you can try to at least! ive been trying for about 10 min to get it but it seems the server is under a bit of stress as it just times out after a while.

Downloaded it yesterday and did a quick look at it last night. I tried to use my old key but it wouldn't work. Maybe it will when the final comes out. It looks pretty good but I would have a hard time buying it if we could get open source to do the same. Then again it would help to support anyone who puts out linux apps.

What I downloaded was the beta version.

The build on nero.com is the final release. My old nerolinux key didn't work anymore, I had to use another key. You can also install it as a trial verion for 30 days if you have no key. When I tried this it didn't seem to work when I started it as a user. If this happens to you, start it with "sudo nero" the trial key appears automatically. You can then copy it, close nero, and restart it as a user, and then past the key.

the ONLY reason i'd use this is cuz it supports burning more formats than k3b. i have it installed (beta), so i can tell you at this point the only format it supports burning that k3b doesn't (at least in this beta) is nrg.

BUT there is a handy program i use in the rare case i can only get a disc image in nrg format, its called nrg2iso and i believe its available in the repos. its a very simple to use & understand command line app to convert nrgs to isos.

Or you can simply rename the .nrg file to a .iso and all is well! :)

i doubt that. cuz why the heck would a nrg2iso conversion program exist then?
