"Nero announced today that the latest update to its Nero 8 application suite adds important features. The update adds BDMV authoring and playback, improved file encoding speed and support for Mini HD DVD video discs. Nero 8 is now certified for authoring and playback of Blu-Ray Disc video titles and supports advanced interactive features on Blu-Ray and HD DVD movies. This update also adds the ability to burn HD DVD video onto standard DVD-R/RW discs. Camcorders that record in AVCHD format don’t have to go though encoding, Nero 8 supports the format with SmartEncoding now eliminating that step."It's great to see Nero adding new features and functinality - especially being able to burn HD-DVD video onto standard DVD-R discs - but after my
