Stay away from Nero 9

[prerich]

This is a copy of a support response from Nero concerning the playback of BD's in Nero 9/Showtime 5:

"Unfortunately, the previously offered Blu-ray/HD DVD Video Plug-in does not work with the latest Nero 9 version. The new Blu-ray Disc Authoring Plug-in for Nero 9 is available as an add on. Please purchase it through the following link from our website http://www.nero.com/eng/bluray-disc-...ng-plugin.html
This plug-in provides the necessary tools to create Blu-ray Discs with HD integrated menus and burning Blu-ray Discs for playback on Playstation® 3 and other Blu-ray Disc players.

We would like to draw your attention to the following: BD-ROM media cannot be played back using Nero ShowTime 5. (Nero ShowTime is part of the Nero 9 Suite).
Nevertheless you can install Nero 8 and Nero 9 side by side. That way you can play back BD-ROM media using Nero ShowTime 4.5 (part of the the Nero 8 Suite; playback requires the Blu-ray/HD DVD Video Plug-in)."

This my friends is very....stupid!!!! You can burn BD's but you can't play them, you must use version 8 witht he BD playback plugin. Nero is losing it bigtime. (I'm still happy with TMT !!!!)
