1.3 Applications of the Nero 7 Suite3F*4F*
This QuickStart Guide explains how to install the Nero 7 Suite and provides a brief description of the individual applications. For detailed information on working with the applications please refer to the relevant user manuals or the online help which is also installed
during the installation of Nero. You can find the latest manuals for the individual applications and the constantly updated online help files on our website under
Nero Mobile
Nero Mobile is an impressive media suite that provides a central repository for various
media files, thereby turning smartphones and personal digital assistants (PDAs) into a
powerful mobile media center. The integrated Nero Mobile media archive makes accessing all types of media file much easier and also provides direct access to them when the
user is away from the computer. Load the desired media files - videos, music, or photos on your PDA or smartphone with the ease of a mouse click using the Nero Suite on your
computer.
* Already available in the full version.
** The scope of the specific software package which was supplied depends on the type of product
bundle acquired. Therefore, the package concerned may not contain all the individual programs.

The Nero Suite
Nero Home
Nero Home combines TV and the recording of TV channels with the playback of DVDVideos and audio/video files in one easy-to-use interface. Not only can Nero Home play
all your media files but it can also catalog them and organize them in individual libraries. It
allows you to compile files from various media into a playlist; an example of such a compilation would be a slide show with videos and images accompanied by background music.
The intelligent sorting functions allow you to sort not only by file type, title, artist, album,
etc. but also by meta information. Hot-plugging devices such as cameras and memory
cards are detected immediately and their content can be added directly to the database.
Wizards are provided to assist you with the configuration − e.g. scanning for television
channels and regional settings − so that you can find your way without any difficulties.
Nero Home is controlled over the computer or various computer remote controls. A list of
the supported remote controls can be found under
3Hwww.nero.com.
Nero Burning ROM 7
The powerful burning software Nero Burning ROM 7 allows you to burn your data, music
titles, and videos to disc. Expert users can let their imaginations run wild with Nero Burning ROM 7 while retaining full control over the projects to be burned. You can − among
other things − define the file system, the length of the file name, and the character set;
you can also change the disc label. Of course you can also customize the Nero Burning
ROM 7 toolbar and change the keyboard shortcuts. Despite its wide range of functions,
Nero Burning ROM 7 has remained an easy-to-use burning program that creates discs in
just a few steps. You select the disc type to be burned (CD/DVD/DL/DVD Blu-ray/HD
DVD), define the project type, add the required data, and start burning.
Nero Scout
Nero Scout is a database program that creates a database from all media files on your
computer; this database is indexed, cataloged, and made available for other Nero Suite
programs. Unlike other databases which are produced by various media players and
which only catalog the files associated with this program, Nero Scout databases are universal and are therefore available on all playback programs. Nero Scout creates an entry
in Windows
®
Explorer® so that you have a complete overview of the media library at all
times. Nero Search will enable you to find the files indexed by Nero Scout in a flash. Nero
Scout is of particular significance for Nero Home, since file searches using Nero Home
only find and display cataloged files. We therefore recommend that you always leave
Nero Scout enabled.
Nero Search
Nero Search is a search wizard that allows you to search for files on your computer
quickly and easily. Note however that the desktop search function can only find files indexed by Nero Scout. Nero Search also provides a web search function. Nero Search can
be accessed in the taskbar. In addition, it is also integrated into the Nero applications
Nero Burning ROM, Nero Express, Nero Vision, Nero WaveEditor, Nero SoundTrax, Nero
Recode, and Nero PhotoSnap. Nero Search is an integral part of the Nero Suite and does
not need to be installed separately. Nero Scout must be enabled to be able to use the
desktop search function of Nero Search.
Nero StartSmart
Nero StartSmart is the user-friendly command center of the Nero Suite. You merely have
to select the desired task and the corresponding software starts automatically. You can
also select the required language here. In addition, using your online connection, Nero
StartSmart allows you to check whether new program versions of Nero are available (in
which case you can download them directly).
