I have been using the trial version of Nero Vision Express and agree with you
that it does a lot with the media centre recorded files. However, the problem
I have been having with it and which has put me off of buying the ful version
so far is that during the process of burning to a DVD it seesm to stop
working. I get no error messages at all. Last night I started it off and the
initial part seemed to go fine but it got about 80% of the way through the
burn process then stopped doing anything. I left it overnight but it hadn't
progressed any further so I aborted it. The whjole system then seems to
slowly die and I have to switch off.

Any ideas?
