Nero 6.0 will make its much anticipated debut at CeBIT 2003 at the Jacob Javits Convention Center in New York City, beginning June 18th. With the imminent release of Nero 6.0, Ahead Software is addressing all aspects of the optical recording process by its inclusion of advanced video editing and authoring, DVD playback, all-embracing backup, MPEG-4 Nero Digital, and a whole new array of features and functionality never previously seen in any other CD/DVD recording suite. Featuring an intelligent and customizable StartSmart application launcher, any user -- beginner or advanced -- will always be in complete control of all recording projects.

The Nero 6.0 Ultra-Edition includes NeroVision Express 2.0, a complete solution for VCD/SVCD and DVD authoring with full video editing, Nero ShowTime, a DVD software DVD player for the most vibrant picture viewing of DVD movies and your own projects, along with MPEG-4 (Nero Digital) compatibility, Nero BackItUp, with full, incremental, update, and differential control of your data, and disc spanning, InCD 4.0 for true drag and drop and save within application, CD/DVD writing, Wave Editor 2.0 and Nero Soundtrax, for multi-track audio editing and mixing, and MPEG-4 video and audio (high efficiency AAC), using Nero Digital, the new standard in audio/video compression. The Nero Toolkit featuring CD/DVD Speed - the de facto industry standard for critical media and drive analysis and used by drive manufacturers Worldwide is also a major part of the Nero suite.

Add to this the most intuitive and easy to use interface ever seen with the Nero Express wizard, then it's not difficult to understand why Nero 6.0 is a huge upgrade to the already successful Nero 5.5.

"Nero 6, the most powerful and reliable application of its kind, is full of much sought-after features that consumers look for in an all-in-one solution! With the Nero 6 Ultra Edition, finally there is no more reason for consumers to look anywhere else to be able to do it all," said Udo Eberlein, President of Ahead Software Inc. "We strive to meet the needs of all users, therefore Nero 6 offers the choice of using an expert or standard mode within the application, so that every consumer level is supported."
