Nero Lite v7.11.10.0 & v8.3.13.0

What's this about?

Nero Lite is an custom created installer for the main Nero Burning Rom applications.
It also comes with unattended switches to make it install silently

Why don't you use Nero 7/8?

Nero 7/8 has become bloatware and it's difficult to make the setup program install silently. Also by default Nero installs a lot of DirectShow filters which may interfere with my video recording software.

Why not use another burning program?

When it comes to burning Nero does have an intuitive user interface, has proven stability and compatibility with most burners. It may even supports burning HD-DVD and BlueRay, and it can print Labelflash cd's.
But face it, there are other free cd burning applications in development which are making progress.
If you want a free burning program I can recommend ImgBurn. Its user interface is not exactly like Nero, but it will do all burning tasks just fine.
Recently a new project got my attention: InfraRecorder. InfraRecorder is open source, lightweight and the interface works just like Nero. Although it looks nice, it is not very stable yet.

Do I loose functionality when switching to Nero Lite?

I try to keep Nero Lite functionality as complete as possible, so definitely usability over space. Of course I do remove a lot of stuff, but none of these is essential for burning plain cd's. If you ran into a problem, don't be shy to post.
Micro version is for people who only want a full functional Nero Burning ROM version, but without any extra software like CoverDesigner and WaveEditor.

Where can I download Nero Lite?

[i][b]Are there any known Issues:

Nero 7:
Manually entering a serial with Nero ProductSetup Tool after installation might cause the More features available prompt.
Use [attachment removed] to disable this message.

[color="#4169e1"]Are there any custom unattended switches?

Generally, look up Inno Setup documentation to read about commandline switches. The following list contains switches most used in unattended setup scripts

/SILENT
If a reboot is needed Setup will ask you.

/VERYSILENT
Automatic reboot without asking.

/NORESTART
No reboot, even if necessary.

/USER="UserName"
Specifies User Name

/COMPANY="MyCompany"
Specifies Company Name

/SERIAL="XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX"
Specifies Serial Number

/TYPE="SetupType"
Specifies Setup Type. Enter compact and only Nero Burning Rom will be installed.

The answer to all the questions is yes, you need to use quotes and you can rename the setup file to whatever you want.

Just notice that you need to use the silent switches /silent or /verysilent

Also, you can check the beginning of this thread to find other switches if you only want to install some components.

Nero 9.0.9.4c

@john2007: nice to see you can't read!

Hi,

As a lover of Musepack audio format, I updated its MauSau plugin. In case one's interested, I provide it here:

nxMyMPC audio plugin 1.0.0.34 (unofficial)

changes :
- obviously, updated to mppenc 1.16/mppdec 1.95e
- changed all occurences of "MusePack" to "Musepack" (the correct writing)
- bumped version number and build date, added notice of my update

tools : Resource Hacker, cabarc.exe, hex editing

Cheers

Well, Nero still have not released any update for Nero 8. I think they abandon it. Shortly after release of Nero 9 I experimented with the new audio plugins and they seem to be compatible with Nero 8. I'll look into making a new version of Nero 8 Lite with the Nero 9 audio plugins included. I will not work on any Nero 9 Lite version, but anyone is free to use the SDK as reference material for building one.

I haven't tested these plugins, but it should be from far a better alternative to MauSau plugins.

For example, I heard about audio CD creating problems with Musepack files and MauSau plugins, and I can't fix this kind of problem since my only tools are ResHack and hex edit :\

Acheron that sucks y would you not keep going and start on 9 ? I've been using Nero Lite for a long time from the begging of Nero Lite 7 it would suck just for you to stop with 9

We should be happy with anything that Archeron is willing to do, not unhappy about what he won't do. He's doing this for free, you know.

how about you be patient or find a way to make it yourself then

there is probably a very good reason why he doesnt feel like bothering with it right now

Stop complaining and do it yourself. Actually, you should talk to Ahead (Nero), because you would not need a "lite" installer if they could create a better installer.

You answered your own question

You don't need double quotes as long as your path doesn't contain spaces. In the command above, you only have to enclose the serial number.

Does the latest Nero 8 Lite Lite include the Nero Recode application?

I pretty much only use only the burning features and this to reencode a DVD.

If not, how hard would it be for me to add it in? I am a programmer and have done some scripting, but does the author of Nero Lite provide the AutoIt scripts so that others can customize
