Offer Nero Bundle And Gain Flexibility
After several recording tests, Nero was found to be extremely stable, so system builders need not expect to make many support calls. Nero can create MPEG-4 content—unlike competitor Roxio, which creates DivX with H.263 and places its encodings into AVI containers instead of MPEG-4. Nero's audio is compatible with Apple iPod and Sony PlayStation Portable devices and other high-end digital audio appliances. Nero also supports high-end audio mastering with its Wave Editor, which can convert a two-channel file to 5.1 and 7.1 surround sound.
Nero supports H.264, which creates better quality videos and has a higher compression capability. In addition to becoming the format for HD-DVD and Blu-ray, H.264 is the format for the next generation of camcoders. Users that own H.264 camcoders do not have to downgrade formats when transferring recordings PCs using Nero.
Since Nero follows MPEG-4, system builders do not have to be forced to sell unique solutions because it offers 100 percent compatibility with most recording devices on the market. No format conversion is necessary.
Nero arrives with DVD copy tools to convert DVD-9 to DVD-5. The tools produce high-quality conversions. Nero OEM pack also can provide video capturing and exporting directly to a PSP and iPod by using the company's NeroVision authoring software, as well as Nero Recode.
Nero offers various bundles to OEMs, so system builders should be aware that not all recorder makers will provide all the features available in Nero's suite. Nero also has made some exceptions to Sony, which publishes and sells movies. Because Sony is a publisher, its Nero bundle excludes Recode. However, as soon as users perform an update, Recode will automatically be installed.
