Most creative video software either depends on some third party optical
media burning software that is tucked under the covers, or that you run
yourself in a separate step.

I have 3 out of four installed, and my daughter-in-law is a Pinnacle user.
My current most heavily used tool is Premiere Elements. I have releases 2

I don't know about that. I've seen all 4 run on AMD boxes. The 3 I run sure
run on AMD 64 boxes because that is all I have.

You mean Symantec?
What's going on with Nero is that they are trying to provide more related
function to hold onto their price point.
