    :confused: I have MyDVD LE in my laptop and I am getting tried of its limited functionality. I kinda regret not buying the full version.

    Did anyone here upgrade their MyDVD LE or did you purchase a different software like NERO?

    Suppose I buy NERO and install it, should I first uninstall MyDVD? :confused:

    That MyDVD LE is worthless.
    Yes, uninstall it and load Nero. If you want to, you can download Nero and try it for 30 days free, then decide.

    I like Nero so far. But if you do the trial, during the install, don't let Nero change ALL of your file Associations!

    I don't recommend upgrading any Sonic product. I haven't had any success upgrading MyDVD - it's better to uninstall and install the full version. I had MyDVD LE and purchased the Plus upgrade, but never got the thing to work. After a whole lot of correspondence with their technical department, I was rewarded with the full version instead of the upgrade version.

    Definitely uninstall MyDVD if you install Nero. I've used Nero for quite a few years and really like it. The only thing I don't like with version 7 is the crappy Nero Scout - but that's pretty easy to disable.

    maybe i'm missing something, but with so many great free audio/video players out there, why pay for one?

    MyDVD is a DVD authoring program, not a player.
