It should be noted: a gigantic part of what makes up the install and disc size are things you can opt not to use.
IE, yes, it fills the whole CD. Hower, it's install size is not much bigger then it was before (200MB). What makes up the difference? The CD includes 80MB of Redistributables (Windows Media Encoder, etc.) as well as Demo of NeroPhotoShow. Some of the Nero options don't install unless required (ala, like Win98 hooks for ImageDrive, etc.) and of course, they include more "templates" (motion backgrounds, etc.) for Nero Digital, which take up almost 60MB of the install. In fact, if you remove Nero Digital (Recode / NeroVisions) out of the mix, it drops 100MB off the install (because of the templates, backgrounds, menus) and the Nero install by itself (just the base Nero program) is the same size it always was. By bundling together Nero Visions with the template packs they had "free to download" at the website it makes the whole thing bigger. *shrug* but you can optionally chose not to download those. The base Nero package should still be available to download at about 35-40MB. CW ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------- FIGHT BACK AGAINST SPAM!
