Lite-On has once again turned to Nero for their software bundle. The CD that comes with the eNAU708 contains a stripped down version of the Nero 9 Essentials suite which includes Nero Express, Nero Vision, Nero CoverDesigner and Nero ShowTime. It also contains a trial version of Nero Linux for those with Linux-based netbooks.
Nero Express - With Nero Express, Nero has taken the features and performance people have come to expect from Nero Burning Rom and combined them with a user friendly interface. Redesigned to maximize ease-of-use, Nero Express gives users the ability to quickly and easily burn audio, data and video to CD or DVD.
Nero Vision - Nero Vision is Nero's video authoring application. Thanks to a user friendly interface, Nero Vision makes it easy for users to capture, edit and then burn their favorite videos to VCD, SVCD or DVD or export it to Nero Digital format.
Nero Vision also lets users add things like transitions, custom backgrounds, animated menus and text effects. You can even use it to turn your photos into custom slide shows.
Nero CoverDesigner - Nero CoverDesigner is a powerful application for creating custom cover elements such as booklets, inlays and labels. Nero CoverDesigner supports cover elements for a wide range of disc types, such as CD jewel cases, DVD cases, multi-boxes, maxi CDs, slim packs, business cards and more. Nero CoverDesigner also supports LightScribe and Labelflash recorders, which you can use to print labels directly on compatible media.
Nero ShowTime - Nero ShowTime is Nero's software DVD player. Along with support for DVD's, ShowTime can be used to play back VCD's, SVCD's and miniDVD's as well as any MPEG, AVI or Nero Digital files you might have on your hard drive.
The eNAU708 comes with a second CD containing Lite-On's own MyDisk Suite. This suite includes applications such as DiskIndex, DiskCollection, DiskCase and DiskMobile.
DiskMobile - DiskMobile allows users to wirelessly transfer iPhone and iPad images to the eNAU708 using a unique internet address. Once transferred, the drive will burn the transferred images onto a disc for safe-keeping and sharing. Additionally, DiskMobile can be used to back up photos against theft or loss of iPhone or iPad and free up storage space on those devices.
DiskCase - DiskCase is an innovative iPad application offering users the option to design disc covers that are ready to use once printed onto a single sheet of paper. You can design an original case cover or utilize built-in templates to display a strikingly unique disc.
DiskIndex - DiskIndex burns discs with easy-to-navigate and customized auto-run menus that automatically load when a disc is inserted into a PC. Previously when sharing files, recipients had to tediously search through the long list of files to locate the desired data, photo, or video files. With DiskIndex, when the disc is inserted into a PC, a custom menu appears allowing the user to easily find and view files.
DiskCollection - DiskCollection is a burning software with a built-in data management solution allowing users to effectively create a personal disc database. Featuring a drag-and-drop interface, disc cover printing, disc classification and automatic content indexing, DiskCollection makes file and disc management more efficient in a few easy steps.
While small in size, the Lite-On's new external slim DVD writer delivers an impressive number of features. Along with a great looking design, the eNAU708 offers some of the fastest reading and writing speeds available on a portable unit. The drive is capable of 8x DVD±R, 8x DVD+RW, 6x DVD-RW, 6x DVD±R DL and 5x DVD-RAM writing speeds and a maximum DVD read speed of 8x. The eNAU708 also features support for bitsetting as well as many of the technologies we've come to expect from Lite-On, including more advanced ones like SmartWrite and OverSpeed. Last but not least, the drive ships with Nero Essentials as well as Lite-On's own MyDisk Suite. With all this, it's easy to see why the Lite-On eNAU708 gets a solid 9 out of 10 for its features.
