If NV4 = NeroVision 4, then yes - that is what I'm using.
Or rather, trying to use.
LOL - I can't even find the place where you set "Smart Encode",
folks tell me you can set said option to prevent re-encoding - but
I can't even find a place to set it. There is an option button that
does NOTHING when I push it.

I simply shelved NeroVision 4 for now, and am concentrating
on making Roxio 9 work as advertised. I'm actually having
a little luck here. Not nearly as buggy as Nero 7 stuff , but
somewhat slow. Have not really gotten to Sony 7 yet. LOL - if I can't
find a way around having to render in DVD Architect 4.0 - I may not
live long enough to see it complete ... ran 10 hours & I shut it down.
