Well the new version of Aheads Nero is coming out this week...and CNet did a review...and this struck me as something very interesting:
"Nero Vision Express 2.0, unlike its difficult-to-use and underpowered predecessor, is one of the most competent movie-authoring programs we've seen, rivaling Pinnacle Studio 8.0 in capabilities and beating it handily in performance. The program supports motion menu buttons (small snippets of movies that play within the scene-selection button), and even the background of your menu screen can be a movie. Like other apps in the suite, however, Vision Express relies solely on a step-by-step, wizard-style interface, which quickly becomes tedious and constricting when you've learned what you're doing. For example, you can't preview your creation except by advancing screen by screen to the preview pane. We'd like to see some shortcuts here and there."
It sounds more like a DVD authoring proggie but the part about "...rivaling Pinnacle Studio 8.0 in capabilities and beating it handily in performance." makes me wonder what else is does. Guess we have to wait until July 25 to find out becase the Nero/Ahead sites have been very silent on the whole thing.
