I am 64 Bit Ultimate & Nero 7 Essentials doesn't work on that so I use
Cheetah which also burns 8.5 Gb DVD's. Unsure if Nero 8 works because it's
full of adverts through feeds
DVD Shrink is for copying discs removing macro protection & region

Roxio is simple to use but I have never liked this software but each to
their own I suppose. Have always used Nero until 64 bit Ultimate
Maybe have a look on a site called 'CD Freaks'
(
http://www.cdfreaks.com/software/). They have a wide range of software
there which also has reviews
