Nero Burning ROM is a popular CD/DVD authoring program for Microsoft Windows and Linux by Nero AG, formerly Ahead Software. Nero Express is commonly bundled as an OEM application with CD and DVD burners. Since version 6, Nero has been bundled with many other sub-applications such as Nero Wave Editor (for editing audio files), Nero ImageDrive (for mounting virtual CDs), Nero BackItUp (for backup of filesystems or whole disks) and Nero Recode (for backup of unencrypted DVDs and MPEG-4 conversions). Since version 7, Nero Vision (DVD authoring tool) is bundled in the Premium package.
