how to install Nero7 with WINE

Nero needs to use the cd drive but it cant get access to it because wine cant use it.
Use brasero to write cds its good.
Go to applications>sound and video>brasero

Hope that helps

As Shane said, use Brasero or any other CD or DVD burning program - there are many. If you are really in love with Nero, why not install the Linux version?

Personally, I prefer the Nautilus CD/DVD Creator.

Ubuntu is not just a 'free version of Windows'. It's a completely different Operating System with a huge range of programs written specifically for it. Included within a standard install of Ubuntu is "brasero" which is a little bit different from Nero but which seems to me a lot better. Although it took me a few goes to work it all out it soon won me over. Try going up to the top taskbar and click on

Applications - Sound&Video - Brasero

Try getting a cheap stack of 10 blank 'write once' cd's to have a little practice with. It took me about 4 goes to work out that most of the useful options in Nero were presented after clicking the first "burn" button. I was a bit confused because it works with vertical panes to drag and drop stuff into rather than horizontal ones. Also in Nero i used to poke around with a lot of features trying to get the thing working but in brasero it auto-detects stuff a lot better.

To fix the strange behaviour from the Windows app try going up to the top taskbar and click on

Applications - Accessories - Terminal

and into the terminal/command window/console enter

ps aux | grep nero

or, if that doesn't work try

ps aux | grep wine

Note that "ps aux" on its own will give a long list of all the tiny processes running, a very long list - but using the filter/pipe | to feed it into grep and then putting a search-string afterwards should make it more managable. Once you get a result like

user 12250 0.0 0.0 3340 796 pts/0 R+ 08:43 0:00 grep nero

then you can use the process id number, "12250" in my example to kill the process by entering

kill 12250

It does take a while to get used to the idea of trying native linux equivalents partly because of "The Emporer's New Clothes" factor. Also 'they' tell you it's 'the best on the market' and charge a lot for it so therefore it must be the best, right? Also now you have bought it you feel you should use it rather than the free one otherwise you'll feel like you have wasted money but just consider the amount of money you have saved by starting using a new Operating System that doesn't force you to pay for programs that really just provide core functions that should be included in with the 'cost' of the Operating System.

To search out a linux application to do something try going up to the top taskbar and click on

System - Administration - Synaptic Package Manager

it asks for your normal user password, not your SuperUser/Root one. Note that all the applications and other packages that are already installed on your system are marked by a green splodge. I find the "Search" button more useful than the quick search tool because it searches in program descriptions as well as titles, so it allows me to be a lot more vague. There's also another package manager in

Applications - Add/Remove Applications

which, unlike the Windows one, does what it says - it is useful for quickly searching for and installing stuff. Note that while the 3 package managers all use the same database and repositories they each present the information slightly differently and each has it's own range of tasks it's best for. I prefer the search button feature and i like the "Mark all updates" feature in synaptic but many people prefer Add/Remove for some reason.

Another thing that Windows world is keen on

Hello,

As people said above, you should consider using Brasero (there are K3B and xfburn too). Especially since software like Nero doesn't work well at all under Wine (http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=4428&iTestingId=12017), since it needs to make direct use of the hardware.

Cordially, SD.

For Ubuntu and many other distros using the Gnome desktop the standard package to use is "brasero"

For Kubuntu and other KDE desktops it's K3b.

Some people prefer one, some prefer the other. K3b looks a lot more like Nero and some people think it's more sophisticated because there are more settings you have to play with before it works. Other people think that brasero is better because it's largely doing all the tricks behind-the-scenes automatically. Brasero includes a DvdShrink feature built-in as standard, i guess K3b does as well ;)

Note that you can install either into the other desktop but it will drag in a whole lot of extra packages as 'dependencies'. There are quite a few other packages worth exploring, perhaps through Synaptic. The only other one i have tried is GnomeBaker but i was using a different distro, not Ubuntu, at the time :)

Good luck and regards from
Tom :)

Thanks so much for the advises.

It has been a very pleasant experience since after discovered Ubuntu and using Ubuntu8.04/9.04. Since after that, I have been using Ubuntu and seldomly boot back to Window unless no equivalent.

I brought and used Nero different versions for a long while when I was using Windows. I just come across that WINE program and thought it would be good if the Nero working under WINE environment.

Agreed Brasero, K3b, K9Copy those programs can do most(and superior) of their equivalent counterparts in Windows environment.

Use of NeroVision is almost the only reason I turn on Windows. From time to time, I need put together some photos and video clips into a DVD video disc that can play back from a normal household DVD player. I use NeroVision for photos/videos editing and music background. I did search and tried programs in Linux communities. I did not able to find a similar programs that use for photos/video clips editing, format converting and music background handling.

It is almost the last hold I can drop Windows, it would be great if anyone can advise linux alternative.

Much appreciate.

I think you should ask this question to the Ubuntu Studio guys, on
irc.freenode.net, channel #ubuntustudio ;)

Ahhh brilliant. Good one Steve :) I knew there would be an answer out there somewhere but couldn't think of where to even begin looking :)) They're bound to know :))

Kevin you're a star. Most of us keep a Winodws working as part of a dual-boot for odd things here and there. Don't worry if there's just one thing yu have to keep going back for. Hopefully you'll find an answer one day and until then can hopefully batch up the jobs so that you don't have to keep going back and forth for the odd ones here and there.

Good luck and regards from
