To get Fast Forward/Rewind to work on SVCD, they used a kludge that causes some players to be unable to "time jump" to specific parts of the video. Nero also does some nasty things with VCD and SVCD that violate the standards for those formats, more with SVCD than VCD though. Turning this redundancy into a single point of failure is bad. BUPs exist so that the DVD can still be read if the original VOB is bad. This saves space, which is good for ignorant users who might be trying to burn just barely more video than the disc can hold, but it defeats the purpose of having BUPs in the first place. Nero ignores directives to keep the BUP and IFO in different blocks and puts them many times in the same block. Why would someone care? Well, if your BUP and IFO are in the same block and that block goes bad, your DVD is unreadable. Then there's the 32k gap between IFOs and BUPs. Nero is so popular only because it is included with almost every burner - kinda like Windows, people get it bundled with their computers and thats why they use it.

Since the earliest Nero versions as far as I can remember none of the versions was ever 'complete', they all always had flaws here and there, sometimes more sometimes less, but were always flawed.įor God sake, Ahead couldn't even make it right to burn VCDs correctly for 5 years or more, Neros were cranking non-standard VCD discs until version 5.5 or 6 (IIRC), they got it right finally about when no one else had any interest in creating VCDs anymore LOL (edit: apparently, according to jman98 below, they did NOT fix it as I thought, they only included proper CDi app at version 3 or 4.) the same fundamental flaw of not spacing out IFOs and its backups (thus they still end up in the same blocks - so whats the point of having backup file that supposed to be there *if* the sector with original IFO becomes damaged?) Makes you wonder, since the programmers of this horribly, horribly bloated mutant-software don't understand even a basic principle of a 10+ years old disc structure, what else they don't know? I tested latest Nero 8.0.3.0 and guess what: it still repeats i.e. Its the 'design' of this program what is bad from the start. Nero has its buggy versions, but when I find one that works I never have a problem (currently 7.5.7.0). Sounds like you had a bad version and decided to just write it off for good. No bloat, just burning, and done correctly. Nero has been incapable of correctly burning single-layer DVDs (that have DVD-Video compliant data) since version 5.5.
