You read a tad petulantly.

I use Nero, it came free with a rom or burner I bought aeons ago
and has never refused to accept any other drive nor to update
itself when asked. But I only use it to occasionally burn DVDs,
either data or video. Why, in heaven's name, would I use
optical media burning software to do creative video work?

Could Nero be headed toward the Norton syndrome? Norton managed
to write a program, under DOS, which would spend several hours
reorganizing your HDD to save possibly seconds at power on. It
was instantly successful among the same crowd who bought hula
hoops and pet rocks. Norton became a multi-millionaire,
presumably laughing all the way to the bank, and then sold his
"name" to an even bigger scam artist;-)

I've heard or read that it was P.T.Barnum who said: There's a
sucker born every minute. I think he also said: nail two things
together that have never been nailed together before and some
sucker will buy it. Barnum was aware of suckers!

Not knowing why you wanted to use Nero, I'll mention that some
in this group (and other groups - though that may be the same
some) find TMPGEnc suites to be sweet!
