AV Burning Pro, by comparison, is only designed to run on Windows 98 Second Edition, Windows ME and Windows XP computers. This may cause compatibility issues with computers running newer machines.
- 2). Look at the capabilities of each program. AV Burning Pro is designed to burn basic CDs and DVDs. If all you need to do is take data on your computer and burn it to a disc, there is no reason to spend the additional money for Nero Suite 10. However, Nero Suite 10 allows you to burn DVD video discs will fully functioning menus, recode files from one format to another and more. If you need these capabilities from a burning program, Nero Suite 10 would be the way to go.
- 3). Compare the price. As of December 2010, AV Burning Pro is $29.95. Nero Suite 10, by comparison, is $79.99. Nero Suite 10 comes with more programs and more features, but there is no sense in paying for this additional technology if you're not going to put it to good use. Nero Suite 10 is also available as a digital download or on a physical installation disc, while AV Burning Pro is only available as a digital download.
