Nero 6 volume label doesn't change

[CCampbell]

Thanks craig, that was quick!

Your Welcome!

Though I had nothing to do with it acutally. Our Engineers saw your post and took steps on their own to resolve it ASAP. Makes my job easier.

I haven't installed it yet, do you know if it was fixed?

[eranros]

Just installed and checked - bug's still there.
Cheered to soon....

It was supposed to be resolved a few beta releases back. I'm on the road today and tomorrow, but I'll check with our Engineers as soon as I get back and see how it slipped through.

I would like to see it goto NEW everytime.

What he said.

LOL I've been emailing tech support about this even since Nero 6 came out.

[eranros]

Version 6.3.1.15 - bug's still there
I guess the nay sayers in Ahead prevail in this case....

[eranros]

Version 6.3.1.17 out today - bug's still there.
Come on Ahead, it can't be that hard to fix ?!

Sorry, it's not hard to fix at all.

However, we have conflicts as many users on this forum want it to remain as NEW for any new operation.

However, some of our OEMs and other users want it to default to the last used Name.

So right now it's not considered a bug, but a feature. I'm still trying to get this to be changed back to NEW. But it's a slow process to win this battle.

Although a newbie, I have been watching this thread with interest for some time.

IMHO there is an aspect of this that must be considered a bug. To illustrate, let’s say you have a multisession disc labelled "My Nero” that you add files from time to time. When you continue the multi-session disk then:

(a) if the disc was created with Nero previously, the compilation will be refreshed automatically (interestingly enough, it will do this even when you tell it not to) and the label changed to that of the previously burnt disc. If you do not notice that this has happened and proceed with the burn then you will end up labelling your disk incorrectly;

(b) worse, if the disc was not created using Nero (or the compilation cannot refresh) the label isn’t changed on the screen. You then proceed to drag additional files to the compilation and press Burn. After the Burn Compilation window pops up you press Burn again. If you are really quick you may notice the label changes at this stage (often you don’t notice it and the first time you see that the label has changed is when the burn has completed and you look at the disc again – even if you do notice it, it’s too late to stop without risking a coaster).

In either case your “My Nero” disc becomes something labelled wrongly.

While it may be acceptable for a new compilation to be labelled as per the previous burn, the label on an existing compilation should not IMO be changed without the user specifically changing it (even if this was acceptable, wouldn't it be more appropriate to change to something based on the original label?). Certainly it should not be changed in the background as per (b) above.

Wrt to new compilations, my preference would be something non-descript such as NEW, or better yet if the user hasn’t manually changed the label for a new compilation then prompt them for a new name (with the previous burn name, or increment of, as the default) just before starting the burn – this way you couldn’t miss the need to change it if necessary.

ps. am using 6.3.1.15

I was so excited to read the thread on wrongly labelled CD with nero, I am not alone.

However, after several updates, the bug is still there.
It is very annoying sometimes (I end up with lots of mis-labelled CDs)

What goes wrong:
Nero 6.3.1.17 + Win2K + IDE ricoh writer
After clicking continue session, nero reads all existing files from CDR, however, the label will be changed to the "last used" one, instead of the label on the CDR. (I really want to continue!!)

Actually, I really miss the date/time stamp as the default volume label, which I believe was in an earlier incarnation of Nero, although I might be mistaking it for another program.

I think this gives you a generic name in case you forgot to label your disc correctly, guarantees a unique name (unless your clock is really screwed up...), and is informative.

But since everyone obviously has their own preferences, I think ideally there should be an option somewhere for setting the default volume label. The option should allow any combination of string constant (eg. "NEW"), date, time, counter, or last used. The default setting can be set to whatever Nero feels is appropriate, but at least the user can change it if they don't like it.

(OK. then add support for longer volume labels and 256 character filenames and you'll have the perfect burner).

oh my gosh, YES. i miss the longer volume labels soooo much! i'm still using nero5 b/c it enabled me to use names like "my_farscape_backup." in nero6, that gets truncated somewhere inbetween . i wish you guys would have continued with the development of nero v5 and included DL, bitsetting, new drive support etc.. i consider nero5 to be one of the easiest, most reliable burning prog and don't really need the "overhead" of nero6 with all the fancy stuff... but that just my PERSONAL opinion.

(i just lost 2 cents )

You make a good point. Now that I think about it, I don't know why I'm still using Nero6 instead of going back to 5. Except for a slightly more convenient way to select which burner you're using, I can't think of anything it adds. I'm sure there are things, but just nothing I use. I guess drive support is the issue, but I think I'll try it to see if it'll work on my drive.

[DirtyAbdul]

... and btw, the bitsetting option to "DVD-ROM" doesn't work either -- even if i choose "recorder/choose recorder/advanced" . my new NEC 2510A still keeps the booktype to "DVD+RW" which my panasonic dvd player doesn't recognize. i had no problems with my NEC 2500A and nero5.

btw, why don't you guys leave "dvd-rom booktype" where it used to be instead of hiding it somewhere else???

i will re-install nero5 and my nec 2500 until issues are resolved.

i'm so glad i have a backup computer...

@craig:
thnx for giving us the opportunity to test the software b4 buying it! man, those little "quirks" of nero6 would have bugged me so much...

I think this is a little different from what the other problem with the lable was.

On a multi session disc, Nero doesn't import the previous sessions lable. It use to do this on at least version 6.0.0.9. I'm not sure if the problem began with version 6.3.0.0 or not. If I name a disc DATA_4, the next time I burn to the disc it doesn't retrieve this name again. I have to type the name in manually.

I am a longtime user of a professional DVD production burning application, Prassi PrimoDVD. In that system, we became used to producing and accessing entire libraries of our short-run DVD titles for on-demand printing. It was a simple matter of loading the job file into Prassi, and hitting F6 (Burn) with a blank DVD in the drive.

Since upgrading our hardware (Pioneer 107Ds), Prassi no longer saw the hardware and so we looked for a replacement, landing with Nero 6 based on recomendations.

However, after some short production runs, our QA people discovered that our volume labels weren't being retained, but instead reverting to "NEW" when instead they should have been our stored with the compilation file. What's the point of saving an .nrd file if all the parameters of the job aren't saved? I cannot believe that it is not possible to save the volume label with the .nrd file, so that operators can simply load up the file, put in a disc and burn. But that hasn't been working. We find that we have to keep a manual catalog of the volume labels related to each .nrd compilation, and manually type it in for every burn. I cannot believe that in 2004, this basic necessity is not accomodated. So certainly, I am wrong about this and there is some aspect of this that I have overlooked. Surely Nero 6 can save the volume label with the job, but how to make that necessary function work has eluded us so far.

I hope someone can enlighten us about preserving the volume labels with the .nrd files.
