Well, it seems as if everyone and their brother are downloading it as I tried this morning and am trying now and still can't download the retail version.  I was hoping that they would increase their bandwidth by this afternoon, I guess not.

Edit:  Right as I said this a download went through.  It is running a little slow (160KB/sec on a 600KB/sec connection) but it is going through.

Any word yet on what the upgrade cost will be for those of us that bought the last version outside of the "free upgrade" period?

I will still wait a couple of days before downloading

I'll think about it for a couple of weeks (and end up buying it).

I guess that after years of using Nero "illegally" (but not for a while, okay?) it is a little price to pay.

I don't really need much more than the CD burning app and Recode.

Just tried encoding a staff with extreme schema, which usualy generates 220k aac, however, I got a 196k at last. Then I tried Audiophile, got 274k. So weird that there is such a big leap from the lower schema to a higher one.

I'd be curious to see how the new encoder does with LC AAC at bitates between 80-128kbps, especially compared to QT7 CBR or the new 96kbps VBR profile. With all the hype about HE AAC at lower bitrates (64 and under), it would be nice to see some improvement at the lower usable end of the LC range, especially since most portables supporting AAC don't (yet) decode SBR.

I will open a listening test discussion soon. Since Apple didin't release a HE-AAC encoder (or am I talking bullshit?), I will conduce an 128 kbps test soon.

@Ivan or Garf : does the new aac encoder support the ND gapless data feature full compliant with ISO standard ? If not, is it planned ?

Thank you...

I'd just like to throw my support to the guys at Nero.  I'm playing with the new codec now and it sounds absolutely amazing.  I'm not going to compare it to other codecs out there without performing a listening test (which i don't have time for right now), but sufice to say I'm am extremely impressed.  Right now I'm listening to a Dave Weckl song (read lots of drums = transients) that was recorded on the lowest VBR profile (average bitrate of 38kbps) and I'm seriously impressed.  You guys have done an amazing job, top work!

Testing it is no problem, you can use the 30-day trial version, which AFAIK is fully functional.

I'm currently downloading the demo version to check it out!  Is it possible to install the demo side by side with nero 6?

I don't know about the app itself, but you should be able to have multiple aacenc (or whatever its called now) dlls on the system at once and swap them out to switch between encoders.

Does anybody know the difference between "Premium", the downloadable package and "Ultra", the retail, boxed version?

Well, you can't have previous versions of Nero installed as well as Nero 7.  The Nero 7 installation with uninstall all previous versions.  As far as the differences between the Premium and Ultra editions, I don't know.  So far, I have not come across an actuall difference.  I have used Nero Recode, the Nero AAC encoder, the Nero CD ripper, and most of the burning apps for Nero (for both the Premium and Ultra Editions).  I still can't find a difference.

So far, I am pleased.  There aren't very many changes in the different smaller apps of Nero but I am pleased with the mpeg-4 AAC encoder and the different mpeg-4 AAC video encoders.

Wow, impressive, good luck!

What will the test consist of? I assume latest iTunes/Quicktime AAC VBR and latest Nero AAC VBR. Any other encoders? MP3, Ogg?

Latest iTunes, latest Nero, LAME 3.98 alpha and Vorbis aoTuVb4. For anchors, LAME -V 2 --vbr-new as high anchor and MBaacenc 0.3 as low anchor.

128kbps VBR.

Is there a changelog for the whole program? What has changed in the AAC encoder? High bitrates? Low-bitrates? Everything?


Does it work with the old frontends?
